Peace In The Noise

Forever Autumn

I woke up in Marko's arms in my bed. After the ordeals of last night, I let him sleep in my bed again. I sighed and turned over. I stared out of the window and I felt a pair of arms wrap around me as a soft kiss was placed on my neck. ''Hey beautiful.'' I have to admit, I wasn't really in the mood for Marko's compliments today. I sighed and sat up and I seen his smile drop in the mirror. ''I'm gonna go shower.'' I spoke bluntly, and walked out of my bedroom, grabbing a towel on my way out. Was I being a bitch? Probably. Did I care? Not at this moment. I went into the bathroom and got in the shower. The way the warm water ran down my back was therapeutic. I stayed in there for around 20 minutes or so, I didn't want to get out, but I was starting to get hungry so unfortunately I had to.

I got dried and dressed and began to head downstairs, and as I did I was greeted by the smell of waffles? And, pancakes? I walked into the kitchen and Marko was pouring some syrup on a small pile of pancakes which were plated next to a plate of 2 waffles, both with whipped cream, chocolate and a strawberry decorating them. Marko noticed me coming in and he sighed. ''It's not much Ev but, I wanted to make you breakfast. It doesn't make up for not messaging you but, it's the best I can do right now.'' I felt a tear escape my eye, nobody had ever done anything like this for me after an argument and it was weird. He walked over to me and I just hugged him tightly, and he hugged me back somehow even tighter. ''Are we gonna be okay Ev?'' I pulled away, he had tears in his eyes. I kissed him and I felt him smile. ''We're gonna be okay, but, I do need to ask.'' I paused and he nodded, telling me to continue. ''Why aren't we a, thing? An item? Official? However you wanna say it.'' He sighed and pulled me close.

''I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm scared. What we have now is so good, we're in love and that's great but...'' I pulled away and looked at him, eagerly awaiting his response. ''I'm scared if we got together, we'd end up breaking up. I don't wanna lose you and I definitely don't want to lose this, I dunno, I know it sounds stupid but I don't know how else to put it.'' I sighed. Whilst I understood, I still wasn't happy. ''Do you, ever plan on us getting together Marko?'' He nodded. ''It's what I want most in life, but it has to be perfect, romantic.'' I smiled softly, he was so cute when he was like this. ''Why don't we go out tonight? Do something?'' I shrugged, after already having a failed night out last night, I figured why not actually have a night out. ''Alright then.'' I said and his face lit up. He gave me one last forehead kiss before sitting down to eat his waffles.

I finished putting on my makeup, these stupid magnetic lashes were awful and whoever invented them needed shot. ''Ev? Baby, you nearly ready?'' Marko shouted up the stairs and I blushed. I really wanted him to like how I looked, so much that I had spent nearly half an hour picking my outfit and what makeup look I was going to do. I took a deep breath and walked out of my room and downstairs. As I made my way down the stairs, Marko stared at me in awe, I felt so vulnerable and I just know I started turning into what can only be described as a tomato. ''Tako si lijepa, draga moja'' He took my hand and kissed it. I wish I knew what he had said. ''Shall we go then?'' I asked and he nodded, before looking me up and down. I knew what I was doing and I felt so smug. We got a taxi to a local cocktail bar, I was starting to get nervous and I think it was obvious because Marko put his hand on my thigh and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

We soon arrived and quickly went to our seats. I had an espresso martini and Marko just had some cider. One drink escalated to two, then to three, then to four and so on until I was drunker than I had been in a while. As we went to leave, I ended up falling over and me and Marko were so out of it, we just laughed like children as he tried to help me up. ''Evaa?'' Marko asked as I finally got up and I tilted my head. ''Want a piggy back?'' I nodded eagerly and he helped me jump onto his back. ''I can see everything!'' I exclaimed, I in fact could not see everything. ''Should we go get ice cream? I feel like we should go get ice cream!'' Marko said excitedly and I laughed and pointed down the street. ''Onwards, for ice cream!'' I replied and we walked off down the street to the nearest corner store.

We bought a tub of ice cream each, I got chocolate and Marko got strawberry. We somehow managed to make it home in one piece. We immediantly went upstairs and we sat on my bed watching tv while eating ice cream. I decided to make Marko watch Married at first sight, he called me sad for it but I reminded him he was sat in my bed eating an entire tub of ice cream. I quickly finished my ice cream unlike mr slow next to me. He started to get interested however when the couples would start fighting, and to be honest that's the last thing I remember before Marko started getting soppy. ''Eva?'' He asked and I put my head on his shoulder. ''If you left me, my life would be so dark. It would be like autumn, all the time. Boring, cold and annoying.'' I gasped. ''You hate autumn?! It's so pretty though! It's my favourite time of year!'' I protested and he shook his head. ''It's annoying, all those damn leaves on the floor? No thank you.'' I rolled my eyes playfully and suddenly, Marko put his ice cream down and started kissing me, which I did not mind at all.

And then, dot, dot....dot.
