Concealed love

Chapter one

Madalaine Truly ♕

- 05.13am

The melodic chirps of the birds outside my window filled my ears which brought a small smile to my face. They were calling each other in their own beautiful ways which for me was merry little tunes. I loved it although I feared birds.This made me realise I had stayed up a bit too long. Nothing new. This has been a routine of mine for the past few years although it never fails to surprise me or rather frustrate me everyday.

You said you were going to sleep at least today.

Guess I could not although I desperately wanted to break the pattern.

I got off my frosty grey sheets and went to grab my charcoal black biker shorts and my matching cropped hoodie. After doing my daily morning routine I headed out the door for my morning run. This was probably my favourite part of the day. These runs make me feel happy each time people smile when I make eye contact with them while jogging down the road. My way of romanticising life.  

While I was jogging my way back home I hear someone yelling my name. I turned around to see my best friend, Sydney jogging her way up the road to catch up with my pace.

I hug her at once"Hey"

"You didn't return my calls Tru. I swear I'm going to make sure that 'do not disturb' button is taken out of your stupid phone one day." She whined with an annoyed look.

I laughed "I'm sorry, didn't really check my phone luv. I missed you"

She rolled her eyes "You were literally with me last night girl" and we walked our way back to my apartment. Ever since I moved out for college this has been where I lived. I can't lie, I live in a very prestigious neighbourhood thanks to my parents. I am honestly grateful, if not for them I wouldn't be here. 

Lets not forget Sydney, my best friend I met when I was just seven years old who has tagged along with me since then and has never left my side once. Everyone needs a Sydney. She bought the apartment next to mine since she wanted to meet and spend time with me daily. I love it here with her around. She has always been the motherly figure when my mom wasn't around. She was very protective and it honestly made me love her more. We both needed privacy so we thought sharing an apartment would be chaos since I am a very organised person and she is the complete opposite. So far everything is perfect.

We took the elevator upstairs to the highest floor where both our apartments were. "I ll see you in 30 Syd" I said while walking into my apartment. I heard her saying okay from behind her door which was opposite to mine. Without a second thought i jumped in for a cold shower and let my body relax. After applying my blue water lily scented shower gel on my skin and KLORANE shampoo on my slightly curly hair and I knew i smelled amazing. Personally, smelling good was something I thought was essential for any occasion.

I walked to my closet and grabbed a pastel blue crop top which had an open back with some strings and paired it with some blue-ish white jeans. It was a casual fit that i thought would help the heat outside. It was almost summer. After applying some lip gloss and mascara I walked towards my front door. When I was about to knock on Sydney's door she opened it. She was dressed in some white cargo pants and a tight fitting green tank top. This woman loves cargo pants and the colour green.

"Ahh my favourite top" she said grinning from eye to eye looking at my pastel blue top.

I smiled at how cute she is.

"Syd shall we take your car?"

"Sure Mads"

We walked our way to the basement where our cars were and got into her Audi r8. Chase atlantic started playing in the background. We sang along, almost yelling the lyrics of meddle about. It was honestly a vibe.

After a few minutes, we pulled up to grab breakfast which was pancakes from our usual place Red Wagon café. 

I used to love coming to this same café years ago. Oh well, how things change overtime. 

After paying for the pancakes we both headed towards out university. It was almost the end of our third year and summer was just around the corner. How exciting.

Summer vacations will always be my favourite.
