We Rose Up Slowly

Chapter Four

"She's coming back today!" Katya said into the phone speaker as she stood at her balcony, a cigarette and a coffee in her free hand.

"Wha-" A sleepy Bob said.

"Violet! And she's coming to my dorm, and she's staying for the night!" Katya was far too excited, but it didn't matter, Violet was gonna spend time with her.

"Oh,"

"I know! Isn't it great?" Katya couldn't stop smiling. "It's been so long since I fucked her brains out," She said out of the blue.

"I wasn't expecting that."

"What part of it?"

"Everything? Anything?" Bob said, confused. "I don't know Kat, it's seven in the morning."

"I thought my best friend would be actually nice for once and be happy for me," Katya said, her words holding little to no weight.

"Do you not pick up anything from our two-hour-long talks?"

"No," Katya said immediately, Bob laughed. "I do, but I saw her text and I couldn't help it."

"Like always?"

"Like always," Katya confirmed. "But this is different right? She literally is coming back for me, only for me."

"Is it?"

"Ugh, I hate when you make me think," Katya said and Bob chuckled. "I don't know, but I'm hopeful this time."

"Tell me how it goes, I'm going back to sleep," Bob said before hanging up.

Today, Katya basically woke up smiling, jolting out of bed. She grabbed a cigarette and called Bob as soon as she could, I mean how else could she react after getting that text at nearly 2 a.m? Katya was scrolling on Instagram, her dry eyes following carefully the technique of some random gymnast on her feed. She watched how her legs flexed and how her hands grasped the bars, it was hypnotizing. But not hypnotizing enough to keep her from letting a screech out of her mouth when her girlfriend texted her. 

V <3

Kat 

I'm coming back tomorrow!

Which is today for you but whatever

Katya Zamo

Really?

V <3

Yes

I asked them if I could come back another week instead of doing both of them in a row

Katya Zamo

Are you sure they didn't kick you out of the shoot?

V <3

I'm gonna choke you when I get there istg

Katya Zamo

Are you sure about that as well?

Because last time I checked it was the other way around.

V <3

Fuck off

Go to sleep 

Katya Zamo

You know I have insomnia

You bitch

Katya grinned at the screen, the light coming from it making her facial expressions look scary. She did have a hard sleeping that night, but at least it wasn't because of her mind making up scenarios where everything goes wrong. This time it was because every time she closed her eyes, a flash of the Violet and her beautiful body and face couldn't let her sleep. She pressed the butt of the cigarette against the ashtray, noticing just now how full it had gotten, and decided that she would clean it tomorrow. That was another problem Katya had to deal with, apart from her crippling anxiety, she had to deal with the crippling urge to leave stuff for tomorrow. Well, 'tomorrow' actually meant 'whenever someone decides to humiliate me so much I have no other choice left'. Or maybe she would when she got the sudden urge to organize the whole apartment in the middle of a restless night.
