Don't Look Down

Dreams

When I arrived home the only thing I was craving, except for food, was the embrace of my mothers arms and her sweet, small and soft kisses on my forehead and telling me that everything will be ok, but, as per usual, my parents were on a work trip, God know's where.

I let out a huge groan as I made my way upstairs. I took off my clothes and filled up the bath with water, put in some soap, removed my make up and put on some music. 

"Catch me if you can!"

"Oh I will!"

The sun was setting and the way the lights touched the sea made the whole scene look like a painting. 

"Gotcha"

"Hey not fair,I was distracted!"

"Not my fault"

And he then placed a soft kiss on my lips...

I was awaken by the door bell downstairs. I grabbed my robe and made my why downstairs. Thankfully, my uncle is an ex baseball player and for my birthday he had given me a baseball bat. I slowly tip toed my way to the door with Hot Sauce (my bat) gripped tight between my hands and I slowly turned the knob...

N: Sweet baby Jesus, you scared the living crap out of me

Outside my door was Martin soaked from top to bottom, I didn't even notice that it had been raining.

M: Well I'm very sorry, but please let me in.

I moved aside for him to enter, unfortunately my nursing instincts kicked in and I couldn't help but help Martin.

N: Well, you are in luck, I was just taking a hot bath, so why don't you go upstairs, first door on the right, and I'll bring you some of my brother's clothes. 

Martin went up the stairs while I went in the kitchen and made some instant soup and then I made my way to my room and just sat on the bed, waiting for Martin.

M: Thank you so much

N: Wasn't really a problem, but you did kind of invite your self in so...

M: Yeah, sorry for that

N: Forgot your keys?

M: No, actually I was just thinking about you

I glared his way

M: And I forgot my keys in the car if you must know

I couldn't help but let out a little giggle

M: Finally, I got to hear that laugh once again. Listen I am sorry for everything. When you left the coffee shop I knew what you were trying to say and I just want you to know that I cleared everything with my mother. I told her how Ellie had tricked her and how much I like you and I'm so sorry I didn't even try to fight for you.

I went up to him and gave him the biggest hug I had in me. I knew he really meant every thing he said. But then I remembered him kissing Ellie and sadness took over my facial expressions and Martin noticed.

M: What's wrong?

N: I saw you kiss Ellie before the meeting

M: She tricked me Naomi. She told me that she needed a lift after school and she ended up smothering my face. Listen give me one more chance if I mess up I'll never speak to you again, deal?

N: Deal

M: Know where will I sleep?
