What feels like heaven?

"I love you & I always will be right beside you- " the brittle expression left my mouth as I searched for something more meaningful, more true eyeing the gravestone in front that read....

Flashback

This recently occurred to me that 'Sometimes you think you want to disappear but all you want is to be found', a phenomenal line that was quoted by someone mystical.

I'm Rosalia, also Rosa, as my sister likes to call me. My sister? Yes, Eleanor. The one goofy but pure at heart one I never knew I wanted but I'm thankful I have her, she makes me feel at home.

She's my only family after the unfortunate departure of our parents in a car accident. May their souls rest in peace..

Anyways I thought to myself subsiding the emotional thoughts & adjusting on the couch comfortably.

As my hot coffee rested on the side table.

'Silent patient', the novel filled with a rush of emotions in my sweaty palms. My feet cold from the freezing aura & temperatures around the city.

My eyes skimming & scanning every word as if my life depended upon it. As if I stop, there shall be something I might miss from the words shaping scenarios in my subconscious mind.

The TV felt insignificant compared to the embedded words on this pale ivory colored vellum paper.

My delicate fingertips positioned over the coated cover stock hard paper.

It read in bold red humanist font 'The Silent Patient' and under it with a bold black lined text 'ALEX MICHAELIDES'.

"I hope you get your head out of that book once I come back", here comes the crackhead who doesn't take anything serious for once.

"Who told you you're allowed to leave the house at this hour? Also where do you think you're going in that", pinpointing her little satin silk dress that perfectly hugged Elen's curves but miserably failed to cover most of her body.

She's careless & likes to dress the way she wants. Totally not deprived of any attention from boys she likes to go around with her best friend.

I know her. I know I can trust her. But still the motherly feeling in me told me to stop these ladies from being totally unsafe on the streets.

Yeah Okay! For sure I know they are not young & I don't like controlling either. But I know!!

They'd end up with a hangover on the streets totally with no sense in them.

That's why I see it as my duty to stop them from doing nonsense, at least if they listen to me.

"I'm here!!!, let's go party". Here comes the other one, Lily. Barging in the door as if it's her house because she's a close friend you know.

"Whatever, I don't like what you both are wearing but reminder. Don't hang out with any douchebag's and sign up for heartbreak. Okay?"

"Yeah you don't have to worry about that", *smooch* "Bye babes party hard!!" And there both Lily & Eleanor leave the door with an almost inaudible thud except the creak of the door of course that sounded awful but nevermind.

Time skip

Elen & Lily were long gone until it was now time for them to return. I wasn't sleepy the least bit so I slipped into a warm bubble bath I made to cherish myself. Kudos to my effort since the feeling of being immersed in it was just as satisfying as aesthetically pleasing it looked.

Also turned my air purifier on and filled my bathroom with a lavender scent from the essential oil I added earlier. Drifting to this bath was much needed.

Thankfully this once, I only have classes on the weekdays. The opportunity won't repeat so I had to clear my head.

The warm sensation soothed my tense muscles & a sore body from all night study sessions.

The glass around was all misty. The moisture left a haze giving it a translucent sheet effect. So I did what a kid would do. Made hearts all over it. Felt cute I guess?

I feel like everyone likes to do it as much. Feels like what we call heaven.

Oh dear! On cloud nine? Relatable.

Proceeding on to lather the body wash & apply it all over my pale smooth textured skin. Replenishing. As much as my heart told me to stay in the entire night I had to get out.

Applying my shampoo & conditioner. Washing it off I reminded myself to be grateful enough.

Well...my favorite moisturizer that's cocoa scented. After I was all done. Clean & shaved. Smelling like hot chocolate if that's a resemblance sane enough. What I saw as I got out & headed for the lounge was definitely the last thing I wanted to deal with at this hour.

"Lily! Elen!"...

Yes, I did change a lot of things here & also this time, imma write it after reviewing to avoid mistakes.
