Orphic : (adj.) Mysterious and entrancing. Beyond ordinary understanding. ~N
The next morning everyone's gone and I start cleaning up the living room. It's Saturday and I might just spend the day home.
*buzz buzz*
"Hey ma"
"Hey Maddie everything good?"
"Yeah just cleaning the house a bit and doing chores."
"Alright I'm glad to hear, tomorrow evening when we return we will be having guest over for dinner. So please dress your very best and have the house looking spotless."
"Yes mother."
"Good girl. I'll see you tomorrow, enjoy your day."
We hang up and I jump on the couch. I don't want to do anything, I'm tired. And for some reason every time we have guest over, my ma always acts so different, it's annoying.
But I don't want to be on her bad side. I really want her to approve Nathan so for now I'll deal with her crap excuses as to why he's no good. I gotta kiss her ass for a few months.
Lovely.
My phone rings again and this time it's Keith.
"Ya what's up?"
"Hey Maddie what you up to?"
"Nothing much really, just cleaning the house."
"Alright, you wanna grab seething to eat in a bit? I'll come by and pick you up."
"Uh no thanks, I got to get done with the chores, I'll be having guest over for dinner. And I got loads of homework to finish before Monday."
"Yeah sure no problem. How about a raincheck?"
"Ya that's good. I'll let you know."
"Alright see you at school."
"Alright take care."
In reality I already finished cleaning the house, and had no homework. But Keith is somewhat an odd guy. Don't get me wrong he's sweet, but very clingy. I'm not really into that.
I'd much rather be in my own solitude than be with someone clingy telling me what to do all the time and spend every living breathing second with them until I die of suffocation.
Nathan knows exactly how to balance me out though. He gives me enough, but leaves me wanting more. He gives me my space, yet knows how to be here for me. His personality fits mine like a glove.
Last night I slept with all smiles. He brightens my whole world. To me he's Orphic.
And Orphic is just perfect for me.
