I slowly open my eyes and turn over my phone, it's only 6am. The sun is just rising and the rays shine right through the the window and onto the white sheets. Then I remember where I am and who's lying beside me. I turn over to see Enya still asleep, almost in the same position as last night only, her arm is over the duvet and is reaching over to me. Her fingertips are barely touching my hip. I jump up and tip toe quickly to the bathroom, trying not to wake her up.
I lock the door behind me and look in the mirror. I start to cry. I start to sob and I don't know why.
Why am I feeling this way and why is this happening so fast? Enya is out of my league and I was only supposed to come to LA to work. This doesn't feel right.
Every negative thought is running through my mind and I stand looking at the reflection in front of me for what feels like hours. Suddenly I notice how tired I am so I wipe my tears and head back into Enya's room.

I don't notice she's sitting up and looking right at me until I close the door and start walking back to the bed.
I jerk my head up "Oh my god I'm sorry! did I wake you?"
She ignores my question — "Is everything okay?" Her voice sounds strained
"Yeah I'm sorry I just had to go to the bathroom" I know she knows I'm lying.
I quickly get back under the covers and lie down hoping she'll leave me alone and go back asleep but, she does the same, and lies down facing me.

"I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression" she whispers
My heart shatters.
"But just to make it clear, I like you y/n. I've never felt this way about someone, especially a girl and especially in such a short amount of time"
My heart is full, I don't say anything. I just stare at her.
I move closer to her and now our heads are on the same pillow. She caresses my face and wipes a tear from my eye.
It clicks. Once these words come out of her mouth my whole life makes sense. The universe makes sense and everything within it feels like it's fallen into place.

Finally I say, "I've been looking for someone like you my entire life. I think it's happening so fast because we've been waiting for each other without even realising"
She kisses my lips softly while still holding my cheek. When she pulls away I kiss back and suddenly I feel like I'm melting into the bed.

—- in the bathroom I seemed to forget the obvious. These feelings are valid and it was definitely possible Enya liked me and that all this was fate.
