Chapter 2: Exquisite Love

Somewhere in his body, perhaps in the marrow of his bones, he would continue to feel her absence.

Enjoy the chapter :)♡

Beep beep beep beep beep

I wake up due to my roaring alarm from my not very pleasant slumber, groaning and whining. Thanks to the very jumpy and humpy old couple next door, I didn't sleep a wink all night.

I turn off the alarm in a jiffy. It's just 6.30 AM but since we're taking off for our trip today, I have to do some last minute packing.

I cradle my cellphone in my hands to see if I have any message, which I usually never get. But hey no harm in expecting..

I have one text message, I open it so I can read it

Goodmorning beautiful xx
Have a nice trip baby

-Your imaginary boyfriend.

Ha. My mother never gives up. Pretending to be my imaginary boyfriend! I reply to her, appreciating the effort she took
Thanks mum xx

My mum thinks I'm some loner with no friends, hence boyfriend is not even a question. So she sends me weird messages everyday in order to lighten up my mood, which is perfect by the way even without her creepy messages. And I do have many friends at work, just my mum doesn't know they exist.

I then lazily get off from my bed, looking around at my messy studio apartment. That's all I can afford with the money I earn at the restaurant. But it still looks pretty when it's uncluttered, which is never by the way. I walk into the bathroom, and do my morning chores. By the time I'm out of the bathroom it's 7.30AM already. I decide to pay a visit to June, to see how she's doing. Even though I'm sure she's already done with her packing, she's way too enthusiastic for this trip.

June is my bestfriend since college. If I'm Mac, she's cheese. If she's the shoe I'm her lace. If she's Angelina Jolie, I'm Brad Pitt. Yeah you get it, fine. Basically, she's been there with me throughout everything. She's simply gorgeous, with naturally caramel coloured skin due to her Latin origin, her jet black eyes, her black straight hair which falls perfectly over her shoulder and spotless skin. She can give anybody a complex, even Megan Fox. And that is something.
June is a tough shell, her birth parents died when she was only 3, and she was adopted by an american couple. They were exactly what she needed until one day, when they gave birth to their own child and June was neglected after that. She lived a life where she had the family, people around her, but still felt extremely lonely. Her little brother was treated like a prince and she was the Cinderella who had to work, babysit. Then she got out of that house when she was 18 and shifted to one of the dorms in my college. She was my room mate. Since around that particular time, Nathan left to pursue his dreams or whatever the hell that he left me for, June was the perfect remedy to my heartache.
We watched really dirty movies like American Pie:Beta house, Magic Mike, and sometimes even adult movies...just out of curiosity. And that's how the sistership began.
Basically, June is the person I'd call for help, if I killed someone and needed to move the corpse accross the living room. And she would do it without any question. And vice versa.

June is also my neighbour since last year we decided to rent apartments, she got lucky when she chose apartment no. 213, and I went for 214. Atleast she doesn't have to put up with old grunts and moans coming from the humping old rabbits in 215. Ew.... did I just call them humping rabbits. They should put up a warning board on their main door reading

'Humping Rabbits indoor, trespassers will be made to hump along'

Chuckling lightly at that thought, I drop my bathing robe eyeing my body in the full size mirror.
