In the middle of the night, Selene and Wanda finally returned from their business trip. So they headed to bed immediately, falling onto their mattresses like bricks.
Sleeping off their exhaustion during the night, Selene started to unpack her stuff first thing in the morning.
She unzipped her gold-metallic suitcase, lifting it onto her bed so she wouldn't have to bend down as much. Then she started to rummage through its contents, sorting it into stuff that needed washing and the stuff she hasn't worn during the trip, which she carefully placed back in her dresser, while she also piled up all the other clothes on the floor which needed to be put into the washing machine.
Then she placed her makeup and toiletries back in its rightful place, zipping her suitcase back up and stuffing it under her bed, where she stored it.
After she unpacked and put everything back in its usuals spot, she changed from her pajamas into a comfortable pair of sweatpants and a tank top. She plopped down onto her bed, starting to comb through her tangled hair and she switched on her tiny TV, letting some random cartoon play in the background.
Entangling her brown, wavy hair slowly but surely, a knock on her door made her head spin up.
„Come in" Selene announced as she kept running the hairbrush through the tangled mess she called her hair.
The door opened, revealing a rather tired-looking Pietro to her as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. The look on his face was a big indication of his tiredness.
Yet, he smiled down at her, sighing silently.
„Morning, Sel" he spoke, trying to test her mood.
„Morning, Piet" she answered with a smile, indicating that she was somewhat in a good mood.
„Are you okay?" he asked her straight up, biting his lip.
Selene stood up, placing the brush back down onto her desk as she started to braid her long hair into a French braid, avoiding Pietros gaze.
„I'm fine. Why are you asking?" She knew exactly why. But she intended to keep that topic as far away as possible.
„Sel. Wanda and I know that something happened between you and James on that business trip. And as Wanda described, it completely threw you off" he tried to get something out of her, concerned after Wanda told him about how closed up and silent Selene has been after James showed up and then vanished into thin air just as fast.
As Pietro spoke, everything came crushing back down on her. Her broken heart, her love for him, her desire to be with him, his actions, her actions, her guilt, the fear, and all doubts.
