A Pinch of Reality

Hello?

Its 11 pm, she must be sleeping already. I want to talk to her so badly. Grabbed my iphone 4 like godspeed and hovered my thumb on top of the green call button but hesitated to press it. Should I or should I not? I hate being so indecisive.

Until, I didn't know what hit me and I pressed it. There were several beeping sounds and bam! Someone picked up. I was breathing heavily, my palms were sweating even though it was cold because of the heavy rain, I felt my shoulder tensed.

"Hello?" Its her voice! Its so angelic I wish I was with her right now. My anxiousness have departed. My muscles relaxed a bit hearing her voice. One thing's for sure I missed her voice. I miss everything about her even though we only met once.

I didn't answer

"Hey I know you're on the line I can hear you breathing but are you just going to pretend that no one's on the line or are you prank calling me? or are you the guy who was willing to share the apartment rent with me?"

Wait what?! Sharing an apartment? with her. It must a dream come true. I choked on my own saliva. And the next thing I know I was coughing like a maniac. Coughing randomly around the area where I was sitting. Building up a fortress of germs all in the living room. Okay gross, but my clumsiness have made me accidentally smacked a glass geometrical tulip vase that my cousin gave me back in Atlanta. The shattering sound of the glass made me stop choking.

"Whoa there buddy. Take a deep breath!" She suggested

When my breathing went normal again I opened my mouth only to lie to her.

"Yes I'm the one who is going to rent your apartment"

What have I gotten myself into? Can't take back those words now that I''ve let it out. I mentally slapped myself. Nick you are so smart. Queue the sarcasm choir.

"Okay lets meet up tomorrow morning at the December Cafe okay? It's late and I need my beauty sleep" she waited for me to answer and I whispered with my sexy voice and said "Good night Jess, sweet dreams" While baring a wide grin on my face. I can hear that she stopped breathing anf let out a gasp, tried to say something but refused it too quickly then she hurriedly hung up the phone. I felt calmer as a permanent smile have settled on my face.

Then reality pinched me on the apples of my cheeks and I realized what have I done.

"WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!" Im feeling mixed emotion right now I cannot even deal with life. 'I'm going to live with Jess?!' I sat on my bed and before I know it I drifted to dreamland.

It's 11 am in the morning! Omg I must be late to meet Jess in December Cafe! "Shit!" I cursed while putting on some pants and a maroon coloures V-neck T-shirt. I grabbed a toast stuff it in my mouth grabbed my car keys and I am off to December Cafe.

The time to get there was approximately 20 minutes because of the traffic. I parked my car, looked at the mirror and smirked my 'girl magnet' smirk. I look presentable, no, I look fineee~. Yes, I am the apprentice of the narcissistic god. I have a huge tendency to admire myself in the mirror and being obsessive of what I see in return, Which is of course your's truly.

Went out of the car and walked hurriedly towards the wooden door. The door creaked a little too loud when I pushed it open. The next thing I know everyone's eyes were on my and they all watched me like a hawk. It was utterly creepy. But the aroma of the cafe was amazing. It smelled like a mixture of wood and homemade dishes it was amazing. It made me nostalgic to the time when I was a kid and mom always made me soup when I was not feeling well. How I miss those days.

I scanned the room to find non other than one girl. One girl that I completely adore. She was not here. I decided to go around the isle between the rows of tables here. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a girl about 50 years old or something. She came up to me and said "Looking for a particular someone sir?"
