IT WON'T STOP

6.

[ Amara’s ]

I smiled a little. Her words were too good to be true. It made me feel so special, and I loved that for her. I've always been the "words of affirmation" person, so this was new to me.

"I'm glad I'm your first." I smiled more sweetly, and she pinched my cheeks while smiling widely as well.

We spent our nighttime watching movies and doing skin care together in her bathroom. After we wore our pyjamas, we jumped into bed, getting ready to sleep.

"I have a training tomorrow," She told me while reading some text messages. I leaned on her arm, which was opened for me. 

"Okay," I nodded.

"You want to go with me?" She closed her phone and looked at me this time.

"Huh? Your manager is going to kill me, dumbass." I laughed. "We can go out after your training."

"He won't be there, Amara. And I also want Caily and the others to meet you." She licked her lower lip a little while smiling playfully.

"Wow, friends mo? Next naman family members mo na?" I furrowed my eyebrows, smiling back.

"Maybe, if we get there, you're lucky." She kissed the pointy tip of my nose after answering my question.

"What do we call this?" 

"Talking stage?" She chuckled. "But damn, I would hate LDR with you."

"Too bad, I need to go back to the US." I teased her, and it turned out that she didn't look happy. I gotchu!

"Can't you stay here?"

"I can't, Machiko." I bit my lower lip. I knew our topic was going to sound so sad. She nodded, looking down now. 

"But I'll try to stay longer this year, okay?" I held her chin up; she just kept nodding at my words.

"Let's sleep." I smiled sweetly, patting her head softly and carefully. We had already used our blankets and proceeded to take a wonderful nap.

She fell asleep easily while leaning on my shoulder. I smiled while staring at her face. She looked so gorgeous. So unreal. I touched her cheek slowly with my thumb. Why are you doing this, Machiko? I thought.

I woke up early in the morning to order breakfast, and Amara was still sleeping. I smiled while staring at her, and then I opened my phone to text my friends, slash group mates.
