Let's Fail AGAIN- Addicts

Alarm clock

The alarm clock went off like an hour ago.  Ruhi wakes up from a nightmare. She scrunches the sheets beside her and she looks at the clock in front of her. She gets up from the bed and heads into the kitchen. She finds a silhouette looking back at her. She recognises him from last night's endeavor.

Jim says, " Good morning, I didn't know what you like to eat so I made you eggs and toast. And this strawberry smoothie. I hope you like it. " With a high school smile on his face he pulled a chair for her.

"Thank you for making me eggs. I should leave.....Ummm... It was nice meeting you."

"Today's a Sunday. Why don't we go out for lunch? "
"Jim I'm packed. I need to get to the hospital. I wish I could stay but I really can't. And I don't do lunches"

"Ruhi... Well we could dinner if you don't like lunch."

"I'm sorry if I gave some wrong signals but it was just a night for me and I don't drag my nights into my days"

Ruhi gets her jeans from under the couch and puts on her shirt. She gets her bag and pulls out her mobile to see 21 missed calls from "DEVIL". She drinks a little bit of the smoothie and gets to the door.

" Ruhi.... " She looks back at him with a smile, "Thank you for sipping the smoothie"

Ruhi heads off. She gets in her car and drives off to her place.

Jim looks at the untouched breakfast and smiles. He starts thinking what did he do wrong. He goes in the bedroom and sits on the bed remembering her smell on the bed. The bed they made love. The bed she slept on. The bed where he wanted her to stay forever. As he is glancing at those moments afar he remembers that he doesn't even have her phone number and neither her last name but all he knows is she might work at a hospital in this big city.

He gets into the shower draining her smell off of his body. He doesn't want to but he can't live with her perfume forever. He calls his friend.

***************************************

Ruhi gets to her place and rushes to her bathroom. She doesn't want any scent of him left on her. She pulls out her shower gel that smells so feminine that she believes can mask the musky scent of her last night's lover. She takes a long time soaking on the water in her tub and she sips on her wine. It's just 8 am and she is drinking alcohol. It's pretty normal for her. The warmth that she is desperately is in need of is met by the warm bath. Instead of warm hugs she loves warm water soaking on har beautiful skin.

Her bath robe on her petite frame makes her look audaciously sultry even when she isn't trying. She gets her pink nail paint and puts on her toes. She likes red but pink makes her believe she is still a child.

She calls her friend Amelia. Amelia is a third grade teacher and Ruhi adores her. Both of them cannot be anymore different yet the same.

***************************************

There's a knock on the door. Jim gets up from the white leather couch that smells money. It's none other than his best friend Michael.
"Why do you look like someone ran over your dog? "
"Hey Mich I look nothing like that. I just invited you over for lunch"
"Thanks for the free lunch haha. Yoh know how much I love lunch when it's filled with stories"
"There isn't any story Mich. I just wanted you over. That's it. End of story. Do you wanna come in or not? "
Both of them get to the table and Jim brings beer. Both if them don't talk while having lunch. Both of them look as if they are hungry and haven't fed in like ten days. They devour the food in like 15 mins.

"So Jimmy, who broke your heart? "
"Hahaaaa what makes you think I'm heart can be broken? "
"Well because you are being so sweet to me and your bed looks like someone was over last night...... Am I rigggghhhht? "
" Hey man how in the God's name do you even know these things? Are you spying on me or do I look that miserable? "
"Well Jimmy don't be mad... I'm spying on you with my heart and you  do look miserable like your heart's been stamped in.... "
