Love Makes Me

Love Makes Me Chapter 1

Melody

My head ached and my eyes felt all dried up. First of all I’d been driving for 4 hours, excluding the one hour stop to cry my heart out. I shot a quick look at my rearview mirror and got confirmed that I looked pretty much like I felt. My hair was a messy bun, and not the cool “I don’t care but I still look awesome” kind of messy bun, my eyes were red and I had dark circles under my eyes. I couldn’t be more thankful that the hotel I was staying at was located in a less crowded area of the city, if I was lucky I would only have to see one person before getting my long needed sleep, the receptionist.

I was pretty lucky actually; except for the receptionist I only met an old couple on my way up to my room. The room wasn’t much to look at, blue walls, a beige wall-to-wall carpet, a very tiny bathroom and a queen-sized bed. Thank God for the bed. I couldn’t wait to sleep, I should probably have unpacked first but my eyes just wouldn’t keep open.

                      Sunlight leaked in through the blinds that I had forgotten to close. Wait sunlight? I must’ve slept for at least 10 hours. I hadn’t gotten that much sleep in weeks! The sun shone warm and bright and it looked like it could be a beautiful day I almost caught myself smiling. Almost. I decided to take a quick shower and then go out and get my coffee.

Stepping out of the shower I glanced in the foggy bathroom-mirror, wow, sleep had done wonders to my appearance! The dark circles under my eyes were almost gone, and the remains of them could be fixed with make-up, my skin had gotten back it’s natural glow and my hair, well it was still my hair so I guess I shouldn’t ask for miracles. Despite my hair I felt really good about myself when I had put some make-up on and thrown on a white sundress. Maybe today would be the day I realized that I finally had found a place worth staying and maybe I would keep the promise I had made to myself this time, no dating for at least a month after a breakup, no rebounds!

                         Feeling optimistic I walked out of the hotel with an almost sincere smile on my face.

I hadn’t removed my sunglasses even though the lights were dimmed in the almost empty diner I was sitting in. It felt someone shoved a knife right into my head each time I looked straight at bright lights or even moved. This wasn’t just a hangover from last night; it was a hangover from a week’s partying until the break of dawn. Still I couldn’t seem to find the inspiration I searched for. I had met a lot of beautiful girls each one even more superficial than the one before. I needed someone different, someone new. The only problem was that wherever I looked I couldn’t seem to find her, but I was sure now, a girl who had that special thing someone extraordinary was the only thing that could get me through this writer’s block. The diner door flew open and a girl with shiny blonde hair and wearing a white dress that was showing off her legs just perfectly walked in.
