Love Soaked In Rain

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝟏𝟓 || 𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧

We left for Texas three hours ago.

We have started our journey at midnight as our flight schedule was on two AM at night. We are in the plane now. Most of them are sleeping peacefully, while I am still awake, reading a magazine like a night owl. Emily is also sleeping beside me, resting her head on my shoulder.
It’s about to morning. As I have ADHD and Insomnia, they get me to face difficulties to sleep. I have to spend many sleepless night from my teenage. I barely can sleep at dawn. But we will reach Texas in morning. So I don’t have any option rather than being sleepless.

The sun is peeking above the horizon, creating a serene and captivating image as the plane ascents into the morning sky. The sunlight begins to stream through the window,warming the side besides the seat, right where Emily is sleeping. The sun rays creep through the window and directly beams on her face.

I notice her squinting and rubbing her eyes, disturbed by the sudden lights. I carefully take off my jacket and drap it over her head. I hold on the jacket gently above her head, making her relief from the sunlight. Then I slip my arm around her, holding her closer and ensuring the sun doesn’t disturb her slumber. She again goes back to sleep.  I brush a stray lock of hair from her face. She's looking like a baby bear, sleeping under a trunk.

I hold her hand softly, then kiss on it while mesmerising the beauty of morning view from above thousands feet.

We reach Texas.

The plane has just landed. All of us start to pack our suitcases to depart. I wait untill Emily wakes up. Only two of us left on the plane. 

I don’t want to wake her up. She's looking 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 while sleeping. She's sleeping peacefully that my mind isn't agreeing to wake her. Suddenly a cabin crew comes forward to us and request to depart quickly. I don’t know how but Emily wakes up on her own, as soon she hears the cabin crew's voice. Her mini eyes blink several times, as she tries to figure out where exactly we are now. The cabin crew left a while ago, to give us some privacy.

"We are in Texas?" Her voice is vague.
"Yes, we are in. We have to go now, babe."

As she listens me, she wastes no time to fix herself and pack her luggages. And then we leave. Others were waiting for us while having a little breakfast.

I am waiting outside my house for the past 5 minutes, yet none opens the door. I am so exhausted, I'll lay down here if I have to wait here for another fucking five minutes. Isn’t there anyone at home?

I again ring the bell for ninth time and suddenly the door opens. I wasn’t prepared to see my step dad's face, I feel so disgust. I don’t even look at him, hold my luggages and directly enter inside the house. Mama isn't at hom probably,  so here he is drinking at his peace, gambling with some of his shitty friends. As they watch me over, they give me an uncomfortable look. I find out why it took time for him to open the door.

Asshole.

" I thought you died in a plane crash. No contact for a damn week. Yet I didn’t hope to see your stupid face. But here you are, standing with your bothering face."

He mocks me, or curses me I don’t want to find out. Meanwhile his friends are also taking the advantages, laughing with their broken dirty teeth.

I pretended not to care, and then went to my room and slammed the door with all of my strengths. I directly lay down on my bed. I spent a happy time previous days. But again, I'm in this hell.

I massaged Emily a while ago, if she reaches or not. Her text has just popped up on my phone, she has reached safely. I wanted to drive her to her home back on my way. But she refuses, told me to go at my home and take some rest.

I want to call her now, it feels so exhaustive and difficult to be calm without her presence. But I shouldn’t call her, she's also exhausted now, like me. She would take rest and then showers with her fragrant body wash which smells like a blending mixture of rose and honey, that makes her skin refreshing and smoothing. I wonder what types of skincare products she uses, that makes each of her body part glowing and soft. She's really a blessing Godgift.
I'll definitely call her in the evening.

My eyes are remaining shut.  I want to sleep now, but my inner mind is forcing me to go for a shower. But people loves to destroy their own peace by themselves.

So, I decided to sleep first.
