A Day Unlike Any Other

The day was like any other, I guess you could say they were both good actors. There were stares, there were times where their eyes locked on each other's and it was hard to look away, but they did. The day went by quickly, and soon enough they were home.

- 

I think I came down with something. Nothing to do, no one to talk to. The fridge is empty, I guess I need to make a stop at a store. Supermarket or gas station? Supermarket, better and more convenient. Snacks, I want snacks. Maybe chocolate or some chips to make me feel happy. I feel so sad right now for no apparent reason. I'm lost. Where are the snacks? I wound up by the beers. I hate beer. I start to zone out, just looking at the floor. I can't find the snacks and I want to cry. I hit something that feels like a wall. 

"I'm sorry." I know that voice, I recognize that smell. It was him. I lost the feel to cry, but I did want to hug him and never let go. "No it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry." I said with my head still hanging low. "Did I hurt your head?" His voice seemed worried, and soon enough I felt like crying again, but not of sadness, I was happy. "No, I'm fine, thank you." I finally gather enough courage to raise my head. "Analise? Oh no, why are you crying? Did it hurt that bad? I'm so sorry." He seems confused and even more worried now. "Oh, I'm fine, really, I'll let you get back to shopping." I smile for the first time, and it was real. My heart feels like it's about to beat out of my chest as I slowly walk away.

"Analise?" I whip my head back. Why is he calling me? My face getting red and hot. I feel lightheaded. I think I'm gonna pass out. I'm collapsing and suddenly I hit the ground and the world blacks out.

"Analise, wake up." I jolt awake, my face wet in cold sweat. Where am I? "Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling Ana?" Mr. Athens? Why was he here? Where is here? "Where am I?" I stumbled out of a bed. "I'm sorry, you fainted at the store and I panicked and didn't know where else to take you, I'm sorry." Oh, I'm at his house. I take a good look around. Wow, he makes a good bit of money as a teacher to be able to afford a New York penthouse. "You should sit down, you seem even more sick than before." He's right. I feel like shit, but I don't wanna be a burden. "No I'm fine I'll just walk home, I'm already familiar with the area, and I don't want to be a bother to you."

"No Ana, you have to stay here, as weird as it sounds, if you leave you might pass out in the middle of the street or something." He is kinda right, staying here is best for my safety, but I don't want to. "Do you have a guest bedroom?" I look at the ground, avoiding his gaze. "No, but don't worry, I'll sleep in the living room." No, he won't. "Sleep in your room, I'll sleep on the couch." This time I look him dead in the eye, this isn't my house. "No, I will sleep on the couch, end of conversation." I won't give up that easily on this one. "I am the guest, and this is your house, I will sleep on the couch, the end." I get up off the bed once again and make my way to the living room. As I'm halfway there, I feel hands around my waist, and within a few seconds, I'm back in his room, on his bed. He tries to leave toward the living room, but I grab him and yank his arm, causing him to fall on me. "Ow." He's really fucking heavy, and now I'm out of energy. "Okay, fine." I always win. A grin appears on my face. "We'll both sleep on the bed." Wait what? "I'm going to shower." 'Oh okay' was all I managed to get out as I'm internally freaking out. I'm gonna sleep with my teacher! Well, not like that. What the hell though?! If someone finds out, I'm finished. Time went by fast, and I see Mr. Athens coming out of the bathroom in a sweater and matching pants with his hair dripping wet. Wow. He's beautiful. He walks closer and crawls into the right side of the bed. He smells like that evergreen soap. "Do you need the light?" His voice is drowsy, he seems tired. "No, I don't, you can turn it off." The light flickers off, the only source of light being the many buildings outside his window. It's cold. I squirm under the blanket, his warm body closer to mine. It's comforting. Good night world...
