Am I happy? No. Was I ever been in a proper relationship? No. Was I ever in love? Yes. Now maybe you ask yourself how on earth could I ever be in love if I never was in a proper relationship. I never held hands with someone in public, I never went on dates with the same person, I never really got to have that special time with someone and yet I still can say, without hesitation, that I was in love.
Do I want to have all that with someone? Maybe... I don't know. Do I ever want to be in love again? Definitely maybe.
"I know we started off the wrong way, but do you maybe want to go on a proper date with me?" How I ended up hearing these words? Well it all started when Charlotte started planning Jake, a surprise birthday party.
"Hey, guess who's helping me?" she asks and even though I'm laying in bed she manages to get me out in the middle of the December month.
"So Jake always wanted to have his birthday in summer and since I don't exactly afford having a trip in Australia with him, I thought we could have a summer themed party." she tells me and it seems so sweet that she wants to do this for Jake.
"Where will the party be?" I ask her as right now we're shopping for gifts for Jake.
"At the club where we had the Halloween party. I get along really well with the club manager and he agreed to all my requests." she smiles at me.
"Shouldn't we shop for things related to the summer for the decor?" I ask confused as I know she was planning a summer themed party ..in a club.
"Oh don't worry about that. I already did that, tomorrow is his birthday, you didn't expect me to start only today, did you?" she asks mocking me, laughing a little.
"I don't know ...I guessed that's why you dragged me out of the bed, to help you plan."
"No. I totally said you will help me find the perfect gift for Jake." she laughs looking around on the shelves.
"I already have sand in the club, it will be a nice night of the summer. By the way, you'll have to dress lighter, because it will be like 27°C. So pretty hot." I look at her amazed at the mention of sand. I have no odea how she convinced the club manager to have sand in his club. My eyes travel on my clothes and I have no idea how I will be able to leave this worm cozy jacket and scarf at the campus and dress in only some flared sunny dress.
"What will you tell Jake? I mean he will clearly come dressed like a normal person does in winter ..not summer." I ask her pointing out the obvious.
"I know. I'm not stupid, you know? I prepared a white shirt and some shorts for him and he will change his clothes, of course." she informs me and I nod.
"So his party pretty much left me broke and so think about something cute and cheap." Charlotte picks up some things only to put them back where they were after seeing the pricing.
"Don't you think this surprise party it's enough? I mean it's the gift of the year to bring the summer for him in the winter." I see her wanting to buy him some really cool stuff, but I don't want her to feel unappreciated, after all she spent a lot of money on the party and it was all on her.
"Yeah, but I want to buy him a little thing, like a little reminder of the day, you know?" she tells me and I nod.
"Christmas is coming and there are a lot of London souvenir globes. Why not make him one yourself, but with sand and sun and the Big Ban, some little red cars, put them all in a souvenir globe and that should do it." I smile and I see her eyes widen as she grabs my arm.
'That... Is the best idea ever. Thank you so much now help me find everything you said" and so we bought little hard plastic miniatures of everything I said and after I bought Jake, the perfume Charlotte said she really wanted to buy it herself, we went to our dorm and started assembling the little globe.
