Missing you

Evi:
I close the door behind me and a tear rolls down my cheek. I walk upstairs and go straight to my room.
I pin the last photo that me and Bill took together on the board in my room and plop down on the bed. I quickly wipe the tears from my cheek and call Kim.
After a few rings she answers.
"Hi, Evi."
"Hi, Kim."
"Are you okay? It sounds like you've been crying."
"Bill left." I say and wipe the last tear from my cheek.
"Time flies. He'll be back before you know it." "When are you moving exactly? I could use some company."
"Um, in four days. Do you want me to come sooner?"
I sigh deeply.
"It's okay. I have to work the next few days anyway, because Alicia took over a lot of shifts from me in the past few days."
"We'll go party when I get there." She says and I can hear the smile on her face.
"Deal!" I laugh. "I still have something to tell you." I say somewhat hesitantly.
"Yes?"
"MeandBillhadsex." I quickly blurt out and gently bit my lower lip.
"About time." She says. "I didn't expect it to happen before he left to be honest."
"It just happened..." I say and shrug my shoulders.
"You were prepared, right?"
"Prepared?" I say and frown.
"As in, did you have condoms? Or did Bill?"
"No, um,"
"You used a condom, right?" She interrupts me.
"Like you always use condoms." I defend myself.
"Yes! Mostly, anyway." She immediately improves herself.
"You're on birth control, I hope?"
"Yes, I'm on the pill, Kim." I say, slightly irritated. Not exactly the reaction I expected, but okay.
"I just don't want you to do things you'll regret later." There is a moment of silence until Kim continues: "But tell me, how was it?"
"Good.."
"Good? Is that all?"
"It was more than good. Bill is.." I stop talking for a moment and then continue. I tell her in detail about my first time and how great it was.
By the time we've finished talking, it's time for dinner. We order Chinese takeaway, something we usually do once a month. I sit absently at the table and play with the food on my plate.
"You don't like it?" My mom asks.
"I'm just not that hungry, can I save it for later?"
"Sure, honey."
I quickly put my portion in the fridge and walk upstairs.
I close the door behind me, sit at my desk and open my laptop.
I check my phone for the umpteenth time, hoping for a message from Bill, and disappointingly put it down next to my laptop.
I scroll through my Facebook feed disinterestedly for a moment but get distracted by the photos on my pin board. The pictures of me and Bill.
I stare back at my phone and then decide to text Bill myself.

Evi: I miss you already xx

I stare at my phone for a while but then put it down on my desk.
My eye falls on the folder with posters and I start looking through it.
It feels a bit weird to look at the posters, now that I know them in real life.
I finally get to the little story I once wrote and start reading it.

'We lock eyes for a moment, untill I look away. I'm a little surprised when he comes up to me and can't help but stutter when he asks my name.
His eyes are dark brown and they have this sparkle which makes them even more beautiful.
His hair is long and black with a few white pieces in them. He holds my gaze and my breath catches for a moment. I try to keep my breathing under controle but can't help it getting more irregular. I feel my cheeks turning red and finally I manage to look away. He comes closer and I feel his fingers caress down my arm.
A shiver runs through my body by his touch and for a second I close my eyes. A sigh leaves my lips and he puts his hand around my waste.
He pulls me closer and my body touches his.
We lock eyes again and I feel my heart racing, his face close to mine. He puts his lips on mine and I kiss him back. I put my arms around his neck, our bodies close together. I feel him stroking my back and his tongue finds mine.
I'm having trouble keeping my breathing under controle. He stops the kiss and I gasp.
I open my eyes and look right into his.
His finger strokes my cheek and I notice the music around us getting louder again.
People around us dancing and the lights flashing. The grip from his hand on my back loosens and he steps away from me. He smiles at me, takes my hand and pulls me behind him while he starts walking. Without a second thought, I follow him outside. He keeps walking, his hand still holding mine, untill we get to his car. He opens the door for me. I look at him questioningly for a second and I get in his car. He enters the car in the driver's seat and start driving away.
The car ride is quite, but for some reason I don't mind. It's a good type of quite. He puts his hand on my leg and a shiver runs through my spine.'

I stop reading when my phone makes a vibrating sound. I immediately grab my phone and get a big smile on my face when I see Bill's name.

Bill: Ik miss you to, I'll call you later. Xx
Evi: Oh and, I love you to.
