Winter Kiss

Part 10

I was sending the email to my boss about how we could modify the engine of the car to make it slight less weight and more eco-friendly which reminded me of Dove who was talking about how the climate of our earth should be protected. Dove is a goth girl but she has a kind heart for this earth. I had stalked her Instagram once where she had posted pictures of the environmental activities she took part in and even pictures of her and a random guy who looks more like a trash can.

He was wearing a grey shirt with black hair and blue eyes. He seems familiar to me. His hands were bigger than mine I assumed but they seemed more attractive than they should be.
I sipped my coffee as I sent the email to my boss at 2 am. I mumbled, "Time to sleep Alex. It's 2 already damn!". I wasn't feeling sleepy at all so I got up and picked up my phone which wasn't touched for a day or so. My fingers were searching for her name on Instagram,  her account which I had been following since the day she came back into my life since the day she told me about how much he loves her, and since the day I didn't talk with her for a while. There were few posts tho.

One of the beaches she had gone to when she was 15 while we had dated. It was a family trip and she wanted me to join her but I couldn't thanks to my mother. One of them was a picture of her and the kids at the Orphanage where her smile made my heart melt.  And the last one was a picture of her holding Winter in her arms.

I smiled but saw something weird in that picture. Dove was there too and her hand-
She was hiding something in her hand which wasn't so clear. I decided to shrug off the thought. I clearly wasn't gonna sleep. So her thoughts consumed me, her her her.
It's always her on my mind. My eyes were a blur and I couldn't take the pain, Tears rolled down my cheeks as slowly as the rainwater falls on the earth in the beginning.

It was Christmas finally right now but my thoughts weren't even near to them. I hated Christmas cause every year I used to stare at the kids who would get big gifts for their Christmas and I would stand there as a kid crying because my mother couldn't afford one or she pretended to not have money because all she did was get drink until midnight with her friends, yelling at me while I used to cry in the corner. When I was 12, my mother's friends even abused me physically but I managed to find a way out from all those drunk ladies on my body, one holding my hands, one holding my head and another getting a bat to beat me.

I didn't want to think about it when a message popped up on my mobile. I was getting sleepy but I saw the message which was from Snow.

Snow:Hey Alex if you don't mind, would you like to come over for dinner?

Me: yea sure but it's late, you should be sleeping right?

Snow: Winter wasn't letting me sleep so I am awake

Me: Is she still awake?

Snow: no sleeping

Me: can u send me a picture of hers?

Snow: your pretty girlfriend takes charges to send sleeping pictures

Me: how much

Snow: I was kidding. Well your girlfriend wanted you to come over for Christmas dinner

Me: Which one?

Snow: Of course Winter who else?

Me: did she communicate with you in her baby language so is it just that you want me to come over?

Snow: consider both p.s Dove had to go to her family's house so I would get bored eating all the 🍪 myself

Me: Cookiess?? Hell yeah, I am leaving the house right now for it.

Snow: oh please no.

Me: I will be there at 7 pm. Do u mind if I get a friend of mine along?

Snow: yeah sure.
