The one to remember

Xander

Have you ever felt like you have done something but you don't know what that something is. This is exactly how I am feeling. I was pacing up and down my room, thinking!

Suddenly the room besides mine was flooded with light and in came a very distorted Zoey came in. She was in hurry and she was quickly looking for something. She switched on her laptop and wore a blazer above her tshirt. Shorts, tshirt and blazer, looks perfect. But what is she doing at 2 in the morning. Her frantic face was concentrating and suddenly she smiled and started to talk. What is she doing? Don't tell me she is on a business call at this hour. Frowning I see her smiling and laughing yet concentrating on the screen. This needs to end now. This cannot go on, her working this much is not healthy. After almost two hours she closes her laptop, sighs and looks up. She finally sees me looking at her. It was just her and me. We both were starring at each other no smile, no expression, with just love.

She got up from her place, where she was sitting and came towards the window. She got hold of the curtain and very aggressively closed. I cannot help but smile at her childish behavior. So cute! I can see her silhouette moving across the room through the curtain. Then the lights were off and she probably went to sleep.
Maybe now is a good time for me to go to bed too and figure everything out. With her in my mind, I faced towards the window closed my eyes and went to sleep. But even in my deep sleep I can feel someone coming close and moving.

The next morning

When I woke up it was so sunny and bright outside. But what caught my attention was Zoey squinting with her eyes closed. The sun must be disturbing her sleep. But when did she open the curtains. She looks so beautiful sleeping, I wish I could just go to her room and close the window. One would wonder the architecture of these houses, the kitchens are so close to each other but the bedroom's so far. I wish I could jump to her room and sleep beside her. Good thing it's a Saturday today and one thing I know about Amsterdam on a weekend is that no work gets done. People relax and enjoy their day. Wonder what Zoey would be doing today. Maybe I can ask her to help me with something and we can spend some time together. Maybe I can make her rest a little bit more, like old times. I was happily looking at the serene face of my lover when she opened her eyes. She looked at me and smiled. Just like old times. Oh boy how much I want to hold her close to me right now and have her sleeping on my arm or my chest. She loved sleeping on top of me. She got up and came close to the window and opens it and I do the same. Is she going to talk to me. Oh my god! No one said anything for 2 heartbeat. Is she going to finally talk. Please talk. Should I start the conversation?
"Good morning Xander" she finally said, yesss!!!! She said it with a smile.
"Good morning"
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"I haven't been this peaceful in years, so yeah I did sleep amazing. What about you? How did you sleep?"
"Pretty good I must say. I just wanted to apologise for my behaviour last night and also for keeping the lights on for so long, I am just used to not having a neighbour and I would close my curtains from now so that I don't disturb you with the light. I saw you were up till 4 last night and it was all my fault so sorry" no way am I letting her do this.
"Zoey, it was fine. Please don't close the curtains. I anyways sleep late and I sleep better knowing that you are safe and sleeping. But you were working till late last night. Do you do that a lot?"
And as soon as I said this, something snapped in her and she was back to having the poker face that she had when we first met.
"I have to go, hope you have a great day and you get to see around." She said and turned around to leave
"Hey! Wait, would you be kind to show me around today?" I asked and she turned around to look at me.
"I am very busy today"
"But it's weekend."
"I have plans with my friends to go out, so yeah! Sorry. I have to go now bye" and with that she left her room.
I know nothing about her now and what life she is living. I need to get to know her before maybe I start making plans with her.

After sometime I heard loud noise coming from down stairs followed by couple of no's and laughter.
I brushed my teeth and wore a tshirt
before going down to check on the commotion only to find all the three girls having the time of their life. Actually only Zoey looked like she is having the time of her life eating breakfast made by my mom. She was smiling and eating. She looked so beautiful in the morning. Just a tshirt and shorts. Wait is she wearing Snoopy tshirt. She still loves Snoopy. And when did she get here. This feels so right. Her here on my dining table. My family feels complete. Why did I ever let her go, this is the most stupidest thing I have ever done. But having her now, so close to me I swear I am going to win her back and she will know that she still belongs to me.
