HAZEL

I was at home and it was a Saturday, but Mom and Dad had to go for work, so I was all alone at home watching Stranger Things and waiting for my new jacket that I had ordered online.

It should've arrived here till now, I thought to myself. And just then the doorbell rang.

Why am I having a déjà vu?

Anyways, I walked over to the door and opened it expecting the delivery boy standing with my parcel, but when I opened the door, I found no one......literally no one.

Is someone playing a prank on me or what?!

I was about to close the door when I saw a postcard kept on the doormat which laid in the middle of our porch.

Definitely, It's a déjà vu, isn't it?

I bent down to pick up the card and in the process of standing up, my eyes met a pair familiar ones. Of course, it was Ryan's. I don't know it was the moment's play or not, but I felt something when our eyes locked this time. I saw something in his eyes, something that I had seen lately very often, something that was obscure for me to understand.

"Hey." Ryan said breaking me from my trance.

"Hi." I replied with an actual smile on my face which was nowadays very rare. I never knew how he had the power to make me smile by just appearing in front of me.

"So, you too got this?" He asked and raised his hand up signalling to the card in his hand. I nodded my head while smiling helplessly.

My eyes moved down from his face towards his attire, he was looking dashingly handsome . I don't know this feeling I've been getting when I am with him. What is it? I always fail determining it. What is this feeling......this feeling makes me smile, it makes me feel comfortable, it makes me feel self-conscious like if I am looking good enough, it makes me feel protected? I've never felt this way before.

"Aren't you going to invite me inside." Ryan questioned.

"Oh, I am so sorry. I don't know what happened to me." I explained feeling embarrassed and walked inside while he followed.

"Stranger Things?" He asked looking at the television screen.

"Yup." I said while the signature 'p' popped at the end.

"What were you here for, exactly? Because I know you wouldn't have visited me for just asking if I got the card or not." I inquired curiously while taking a seat beside him on the couch.

He turned, now facing me and stared right into my eyes. I don't know how long we were lost in each other's eyes when he broke the silence and said "You're right, I wasn't here just for asking that.... actually, I wasn't here for anything. I don't know......... I just wanted to see you."
