Jay's POV

Another boring morning. It's past eleven and I'm not yet in the mood to get up in bed. But I let out a wide yawn, though. I got down in bed, accidentally setting my foot in Slobber's little fury body.

"Sorry Slob. Didn't see you there. Are you hungry?" Yes, I know, I'm quite being crazy talking to a dog.

I took his answer by wiggling his tail impatiently.

I went downstairs to fetch him some food. It was quite a long process since I have to boil it, for it to soften, and then cool it before serving it to Slobber.

After few minutes, I gave him its food already. "Here you go buddy." I say with a little smile in my face. Seeing by how he fastly chew, I know he's really hungry. I head to the pantry to get myself my breakfast, or should I say my brunch. I get a slice of bread and a jam, toasted it, and made myself a glass of coffee.
I ate my brunch as I watch Slobber finish his food.

It was lonely doing things like these over and over again for almost 2 years now. Yes, 2 f*cking years...Luckily, I still have this fury friend to accompany me in my house. I'm glad I still have him.

I started to think deep. Looking afar, like i'm out of reality once again. It's quite normal for me now, being out of myself whenever I remember the day she left. The day that I should've told her what I really feel.

As I think back, I heard the front door opens. I didn't bother to look at the door, knowing that it would be just Grey, it's always him. He always come by every now and then to check on me. He always keep bugging me on things that I should do. He's being this love guru that I didn't know exist inside of him. To be honest, he's irritating me. I want to forget things now, I can't bring back the time where I should've done something. I told her that I'll leave her alone once she decided to go, I want to keep what I said. I have to accept the fact that she's already gone. She left, and I didn't give the damn to make her change her mind by telling what I keep hiding in my heart. Something that I, myself, can't admit.

I waited for him to say something. But kept silent instead.

After a few minutes of silence, a familiar voice made my heart skip a beat, as it say, "Hey."

I stand in my foot to look back if I heard the voice right. I turn hesitantly. As my mouth fall agape, my eyes widen at the glimpse of the person standing beside the door frame.

"Am I still welcome here?" She ask as our gaze meet each other, and a hesitant smile drawn on her features. I was speechless. Really. What will I say?

She avert her eyes, as things started to get awkward.

"Is that really you?" Is all that I can say. Dead silence.

My heart started racing, real fast. Out of myself, I quickly sprint to her and gave her a soft hug. Well, at least I think it's a soft hug.

"Aqueela."My eyes shut close as I take my time hugging her.

"Jay." She utter, as she gently tap my back.

It took long before I came back to myself again and pull myself back from hugging her. After that awkward moment, I don't know what to say or do.

I avert my eyes from hers, as I look at her luggage instead. "You're back." I said. "It's been long since-" I don't know if I should continue or what.

Instead of continuing what I was about to say, "Welcome back." I change it, and offer an awkward friendly smile.

She smiled back.

It melts me. I miss her sweet smile, the one that makes my heart skip a beat. I miss her dazzling eyes, her blonde hair. God, i miss everything about her. But my smile slowly faded, and so was hers. I'm not sure if she was still the Aqueela who makes me crazy all the time.
