BREATHE

Part 6

-Lauren-

My life was amazing , I had won awards for some of my works and I had made ​​a name in the artistic society. Everything was right in my professional life. I have been preparing an exhibition of my ultimate works the whole day. I was so tired, so I got back into my flat to relax, I prepared a bubble bath, I was listening to soul music, relaxing my body when my phone rang. I picked up the phone and no one answer so I hanged off the call, then the phone rang again, I said 'hello, I am tired of this jokes' and when I was to hanging off for the second time, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, I couldn't believed, after all this time, she was calling me, as if nothing had happened between us, I was in shock. I could felt my blood running through my veins, the anger gripped me, I was trying to kept the calm, but her voice, her softly, sweet, beautiful voice broke my heart again. Then I remembered everything I had passed for her and I came back to reality and answer back, 'please don't call me again. I don't want to hear a word about you, so, bye'.

I hanged off the phone, a second after that I noticed a drop rolling through my cheek. I thought I got over her, but her voice, oh my god, I closed my eyes and I could see her face in front of me, laughing as she used to. Three years ago I would have run to her, but now I don't want to feel that pain again. Though I wanted to deny my feelings, I felt it like it was yesterday. I missed her since she ran that cursed day. I sunk inside the tub to let away my thoughts about her, then I went to sleep. Like it was not enough I had a dream about her. I woke up sweating, then I realized that it had been a dream, well not exactly a dream, it was more like a nightmare. I dressed up with a light blue jean pants tight, black boots with high heels with buckles on the sides, a white shirt tucked into pants, a black belt that surrounded my hips , matching with the boots, I buttoned the shirt to the neck and put a gold necklace above. Then I put on a sack red with details in black and gold, I grabbed my black purse and left home to work. The day passed without problems, I got back to the flat to get everything ready for the exhibition this night.

I was walking side to side, inside the galley, looking at the people who were there, making conversation with them and explain my paints, and my pictures. Everyone congratulated me for my work and said that I will win another prize for these as I did with the others. The time was passing incredible faster, and I was enjoying the conversations and of course the wine and the food, when my eyes caught a woman staring at me from the bottom of the room. My jaw fell down, she looked gorgeous wearing a red tight dress that fits with her perfect figure, her long hair down to her waist, she seemed straight out of a fashion magazine. Her eyes looked directly into my eyes, and those old feelings appeared again, for a second I was in another galaxy, she turned to me without hesitation and hold my hand, She approached my ear and whisper ' I need to speak with you, come with me' and She pulled my arm for me to follow her to the corner of the room. I did not want to follow her but I could not stopped myself, a part of me wanted her back, but another part of me didn't want to suffer for her again. She sat me in a chair and she sat in front of me, she started to say something but I could not listen a word, I was losing myself into her eyes again. A few minutes after I saw myself running out of the gallery. I stopped when I felt my legs weak, I needed to breath, so, I sat in a bench that was over there and I put my hands over my face and started to cry. I want to yell that I still love her with all of heart but I was angry too. I could not forget what she did to me.
