"Mysterious as the dark side of
the Moon."
-Random quote
I took my phone from the night stand to put off my alarm. It's 11am. I went to bed at 5am after finishing the whole The Originals series. If it's my past, I definitely sleep till night. But I have an important date today. I shouldn't make a girl wait for me.
As I got up from my bed, I went to the restroom to brush my teeth and to do my morning routine. Then I take a long cold bath and wash my hair with shampoo.
I took my towel and wrapped it around my waist and went back to my room to let my hair dry with a hair dryer. I stood in front of my closet for five minutes to choose the best outfit.
I know it's just a normal outing, but I have to make it special.
As I finish my fight with my thoughts about the outfit, I wear my black jeans with a blue denim shirt tucked in.
I checked myself in a full-length mirror and did my hair. I went down to the kitchen to get something to eat. I took my orange juice from the fridge and poured it into a glass to drink it. Even if I starve, I don't want to get full.
After a few minutes, I hear a honking sound indicating she is here.
My miracle here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three days ago,
It's so hard for me to stay still at Mr. Edwin Murrin's daughter's birthday party.
Loxley texted me to wear some pinkish. So, I just wear my pale pink shirt with white pants.
When I reached the door, I realized I didn't have any gift to give. Now I am embarrassed to go in, so I text my miracle.
' I don't have any gifts with me. I'm going to a nearby mart, so I might be late. '.
As I sent a msg.
"Hey Nev", someone called me from my back. I know it's my miracle without even turning.
She is the only person calling me Nev. I have so many nicknames. My full name is Nevin Fredrick. I always get used to calling myself Fred or Rick or Nevin. No one calls me that.
I am starting to get addicted to the way she calls me, even though this is my third time hearing it.
She knows I'm not good at talking, so she keeps texting me once an hour to ask about random things. And she has been randomly delivering food or snacks for me.
"What are you thinking? You were standing there for 5 mins." she asked.
She was wearing a pale pink coat with a white shirt and pale pink pants. It's like the opposite of my outfit.
"Hmm.... You know I don't have any gifts with me. So... "
"Oh, I got it. Just come, I have already taken care of it".
"......" I don't know what she meant.
She pointed her finger in the opposite direction. When I saw where she pointed, I saw a food delivery truck and 4 people holding packs of food in their hands.
I still didn't get it.
"Stop looking at me with your confused face." She said as she opened the door and held my forearm and led me inside.
There were more than 20 people standing and walking around the house. And even some rock music played in the background, not too loud. Food delivery people place the food on the kitchen counter.
As I looked around, I felt like something was missing.
Huh? No way.
I can't hear people think.
How? How? How?
I think I feel the warmth on my forearm which my miracle is holding.
No fucking way......
Since we met, this is the first time she touched me if we excluded the handshake.
Now I get it.
She released my arm and started to walk towards the kitchen. I just stood and looked at her with a confused reaction.
Is she a god or something? Or is she a wizard?
I want to cry. It's like I found a cure for my dead disease.
There is a tapping sound from the speaker pulling me out of my thoughts.
I turned to see my miracle standing in a white chair holding a mic in her hand.
"One two three...... One two three...... OK. Now let me introduce you to all our food sponsor Mr. Nevin."
Everyone in the room turned to look at me. I stood freezing. I started to hear a flood of thought.
"He is staying in the fifth house. And no one is allowed into his house unless you are Loxley. He likes to be alone and to be with me." She says, looking at me.
It's like she's announcing to everyone that I'm hers.
Yes, I'm the one who told her I would like to be with her.
Some people clapped and cheered for her.
As she finished, she got down from the chair and waved her hand 'come here'.
When I reached there, she pulled me close to whisper "Since I saved you, you have to pay for our next out. OK?"
I just nodded.
"If your social battery gets low just send me a msg I will get you out of here," she says, pulled me out and went to meet some people.
I chuckled and took a coke from the table and sat on a nearby chair and looked at her.
Mr. Edwin Murrin, the one staying in this house, came to introduce himself and talk about his business and family and inquire about my family. But I couldn't focus on our conversation because my miracle got all my focus, the way John and her roamed around.
She told me they are just friends when she texts me. But the thought on John's mind said another. The way he touched her as on other thoughts. He was even thinking about some night they spent together. Now I get it they are not just friends.
Not only him.
There's this guy I don't even get his name, standing near her thinking about some incident happening between them.
I started to feel nauseous. So, I just said farewell to Mr. Murrin and went back to my house.
My whole blood started to boil.
At first, I wanted to know about her, but the more I get to know about her, the more I get angry.
Even though I know this is how she is. Jess has already told me she doesn't have relationships; she always enjoys being around.
But she is the only person in my life I want the most. So, I have to be calm around her.
As I lay on my couch, I got a call from Jess. It might be important unless she doesn't call me. So, I picked it up.
