Blue Moon (gxg)

July 3 - "You still have time." (12)

It was the morning of July 3.
I was woken up by the sun's rays filtering through the window curtains of my room.
I rubbed my eyes, leaning my back against the bedside.
I liked the silence of that place.
And I like being alone listening to it.

I finally decided to get up, took a shower, and when I picked up the phone I read a text.

Bella texted me,
<<See you in half an hour? I am starving.>>

I laughed.

I tied up my hair in a ponytail, I wore a blue dress decorated with tiny yellow and white flowers and my usual converse.

Bella was already there waiting for me in the hall.
"Good morning... sorry I'm late." I announced myself.

"Don't worry. Good morning to you." She said, smiling.

She was wearing a sleeveless mini red dress, tight at the waist and with a sweetheart neck.
Her hair pulled into a bun with few strands loose on either side of her forehead.

"How did you sleep?" She asked me.

"Pretty good ... what about you?"
I almost laughed because that night the last thing I saw before falling asleep was her instagram account...

Bella raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly, "Me? Oh, great."

There was something hidden in that answer, I don't know why I had this feeling...

"Are you kidding me?" I laughed.
"Absolutely not." Bella responded without a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
She smirked, winking in my direction, then she lowered her gaze in search of a plate.

Who knows what she was thinking...?

Oh, wait - Was she thinking about last night?
When she followed me on instagram and I followed her in return?

Naah, what a stupid thought.

While I remained paralized, she walked a few steps away, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm going to hit the buffet..." She announced, winking at me, again.
As she said that, she disappeared into the early morning crowd of people getting their breakfast.

That girl leaves me stunned for no reason.

I got my breakfast too and once I finished, I sat on the first table I found free.

What do I do now?
Wait for her to come back?
Text her?
Or maybe she wants to eat breakfast alone?

I sent a good morning text to Joe and put the phone down on the table.

"There you are, Ellie." I looked up and Bella was standing in front of me.

How did she find me, anyway?

"Did you burglarized the buffet?" I asked, smiling.
She had two plates in each hands.

Bella sat next to me, shrugging: "Kind of. I need a hearty breakfast."
Then she picked up a fork and raised it.
"For that matter, I need a hearty lunch too, and everything else..." She laughed.

"Here..." She said, handing me a mini portion of something.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Chocolate sufflè."

Chocolate sufflè... is she teasing me?

Bella raised an eyebrow seeing my shyly expression, "I got one each, this time, not like at dinner last night..." She smirked as she spoke.

I took the plate from her hand and laughed out of embarrassement.
I was blushing.
