It was so cold. The freezing winds of the incoming -ber months have already arrived. I clutched in tighter to my shawl as I pull in the windows close to stop the winds from getting in. I just wore something light - a knee low apricot silk dress, my flats and my knitted shawl.
"It's not even September but it's freezing cold already!" I told myself.
It was 5:30 PM and Liam, my boyfriend, wasn't even home yet. I looked out one closed window to watch a beautiful view of the incoming sunset. I closed my eyes for a while, trying to think and feel that there was wind in this very room. I captured some moments like when he surprised me with a silver bracelet with our names engraved on it. He once told me that night; "Engraved rings? That's a bit ol' school, don't ya think?" then he looked far away with that cute, innocent smile of his. When he said that, I felt like I was so special to him that our hearts & souls are destined to vow & be together forever.
My daydreams stopped when I heard someone knocking on the door. I looked at the clock, it was about 6:15 PM and the sun hasn't set yet. My feet shuffled on the floor as I reached for the door. Slowly, I opened it and peeped out. I smiled to who I saw.
"Hey, babe. You miss me?" Liam asked.
"Come in..." was all I said.
He raised a brow but did what he was told. When he entered, he wrapped an arm around me and the other threw his coat lazily to his back without dropping the weight. Together we walked to the kitchen.
He let go of me, rested his coat on the chair and sat. I was about to go get a sweater when he asked something again.
“Hey…did you miss me?” he asked.
I looked at him then I simply smiled and nodded. I turned and went in the room then I opened the closet, grabbed a random sweater and put it on. I returned to the kitchen and found Liam on the chair with his legs spread wide, his hands tapping his lap while he listened to some music. His lips were a bit protruded and his eyes were closed. I approached him and lightly tapped his shoulder.
“Liam…” then bowed my head, “…would you like some tea?” I asked.
“Sure, love.” He replied.
I reached the wall cabinets and found a box of tea bags then I boiled water. I sat across Liam on the table; he was still listening to music. I rested my palms on my face and looked out the window and I was about to daydream again.
I dreamed about the day when he introduced me to his friends. It was when they had a private party with other celebs. Liam asked me if I want to join, of course I didn’t decline it. C’mon, having a fun time with your boyfriend and his friends PLUS you got to meet other stars.
Their group entered like they’re the ultimate bosses or something. They had spotlights and streamers when they came in while I just entered feeling like a stray person. After they made their entrance, Liam immediately took my hand.
“Hey, let’s go meet my friends. They’re excited to see you.” He whispered with a hot and heavy breath. I just nodded in nervousness.
We squeezed ourselves through the huge crowd ‘till we reached their table. I bowed my head and stayed like that for a while. The deafening music and blinding lights made it hard for me to look into their faces, talk and listen. The boys’ were already chatting with each other.
“Hey, guys. I would like you to meet (_yourname_). And, uhm, she’s my girlfriend.” Liam said.
All cheered for him. I still felt shy so I kept my head bowed.
“Sooo…erm...Why…is her head…uhh…down?” Harry asked.
“Hi there! We’re One Direction.” Louis said.
