It looks like everything went back to black once more. The sound of her name tingles into every nerve inside my body, how much more if I'm being graced by the curves of her face once more.
Once more.
I tried to bury every inch of the memory, but I know it's going to stay for a while from now on. It came back like a rapid stream of the rivers or a shock of current hitting every corners of my soul.
I heard her name, once more.
"Althea?" Pearl tried to shake me off from my reverie. "Are you okay?"
"I-I-Look I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else." I gulped to relax myself, but honestly it didn't help.
"Oh okay, but yeah, Jade will somehow supervise you while we're away. She knows every detail and don't worry, she's a little creative as well so I'm pretty sure you guys will get along."
Nothing, I heard nothing. All I hear is the beat of my heart trying to pace itself down.
But why am I like this? I shouldn't be, right?
I still haven't seen her and she's already making me feel this way, same old Jade.
"Oh look, she's here! This way Jade!" Right on cue Pearl.
Just when my heart started to calm itself, it was too late.
I felt numb.
It felt like I'm locked within a huge room with no way out.
I want to escape but it's too late.
But deep inside, I wanna stay.
I wanna stay. And look at how the curves of her face is still etched in my mind. How I know every detail of it. How her scent, although all through these years, it might have changed, but with just a single sniff, I know it's my favorite. How that small space between us weaken my knees and send million volts through my skin, seeping down deeper to my soul.
How her eyes still mirrors mine. How those chocolate orbs meet my huge black pools. How her lips are still worth devouring. How her nose, still the most adorable. How her hair, though now with side bangs and is highlighted, but with every grip, still touches the innermost part of my soul so well. How her cheeks distract me on wanting to pinch it because I remember how much it irritates her.
How her smile, her smile. Something different, but I know it's still the loveliest.
How she's right in front of me, with those eyes seeking my secrets, waiting for me to overwhelm her with the truth.
