~Today~

Lila

I woke up because I was cold. I tried to reach for a blanket but there wasn't any there. I slowly opened my eyes seeing that the TV was on. Most probably I had fallen asleep while watching some stupid series. I felt really tired although looking at the clock I realized it was hardly eight in the afternoon. I wondered for how many hours I was sleeping. The last couple of days I don't have a clue what's going on. I'm so sad since Julian left that I barely have energy to go to work, or do other stuff such as talk. I had also bought a new sim card since I couldn't be without one. It was a necessity.
I turned the TV of heading to my bedroom when my phone rang.
Speaking of the devil......
I thought and I checked who it was.
Seeing it was Meghan I decided to pick it up.
- Hello ?
- Lila, oh my God! You've got to be kidding me.
- What ?
I asked while trying to focus on what she was saying.
- Why don't you pick up your phone ? Thomas said he called you a hundred times.
- He did ?
I asked yawning.
- What the hell ? Were you sleeping ?
- You interrupted me.
I lied.
- I can't believe you Lila. The last few days you are constantly sleeping. Only people with depression do so.....oh my God. Are you depressed ? Because Julian left ?
She asked being terryfied.
- I'm fine. A little bit tired but fine. What was it that you wanted ?
I asked trying to change the subject.
- Maybe we can go out tonight if you want.
Meghan said lowering her voice now.
- Do I have to do this ?
I asked.
- Lila, come on you can't stop your life because you broke up with Julian.
She said and I nodded forgetting that she couldn't see me.
- Fine.
I said although I was cursing. I needed sleep. A lot of sleep.
- Perfect, how about going clubbing ?
Meghan asked being excited.
You couldn't have made a worst choice.
I thought to myself.
- Clubbing ? Sure I can't wait.
I said hoping to die so not to go.
- Okay, to the one that's near your house I guess. In case you drink too much and......
- Yes, okay. I'll be there at eleven.
I said hunging up.
The last thing I wanted was to go clubbing but when it comes to mrs. Stubborn I can't do much. On the other hand maybe she was right. It was like I was depressed. My daily routine was from work to home and from home to work and I was so sad that I don't remember when it was the last time I ate properly.
I made slowly my way to the bathroom showering while thinking that I could call Meghan to say that I didn't want to go. But Meghan could come here and force me to follow her so it wasn't a possible solution.
Wrapping myself in a towel I checked my phone. Indeed Thomas had called me and text me a lot of times all these days but I had ignored him. And I know I wasn't fair with him but I couldn't do much. I needed some time on my own and I knew for sure that the last person I wanted to talk to was Thomas.
By ten thirty I wasn't still ready and I knew that I wouldn't be there half an hour later. I texted Meghan tell her to be there at eleven thirty hoping that I would be ready by now and she responded that she could wait.
I decided to wear a short black skirt with a white top -which I didn't even remember having- and one pair of high heels. Thinking that I should also make myself up, I considered about cancel our plans again but then decided that Meghan will be too mad at me.
I did finish my make up a little later and decided that I couldn't do much more than brush my always messy hair.
I walked out of the house thinking that I should hurry otherwise Meghan would wait like a lot but it was impossible to run while wearing high heels. Okay, I couldn't really run while wearing sneakers, but this wasn't the point.
Arriving at the club, I searched for Meghan but couldn't find her anywhere. I checked my phone. I was fifteen minutes late. Maybe Meghan.....
- Lila.
Meghan said hugging me.
- Hi, Meghan. Sorry I'm late. You look stunning.
I said speaking the truth. But for the first time in my life I didn't care that she looked way hotter than me.
- Thank you, you too.
She said smiling making me check out her little black dress.
- Maybe you were right. Let's have fun. It'll be a girls' night out.
I said but her expression betrayed that something was wrong.
- Actually......
She said and in the bar behind us I spotted Thomas and Robert laughing at something.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- It's not that bad Lila.
- Why didn't you tell me that they would be here ?
- Because you wouldn't come besides I never said that they won't be here.
- I'm leaving.
- Lila, I was worried nice to see you again.
Thomas said kissing my cheek.
- Hello guys.
I said faking a smile and looking angrily at Meghan who looked away.

- It would be better if you stopped drinking.
Thomas said but I ignored him.
- Why don't you go dance with the others ?
I asked not really kindly.
- I can't leave you alone. Especially after having drink so much.
- I don't need a babysitter.
I said and he rolled his eyes.
- You do actually. Since when do you allow yourself getting drunk ? I thought you didn't like these kind of stuff.
- And I don't. But tonight's an exception.
- What for ?
He asked smiling sarcastically.
- I don't know.
I yelled so for him to listen to me over the loud music.
- Maybe I should drive you home.
- No way! I'll walk but I don't want to leave.
- Maybe you should get drunk a little more often. Acting ridiculous, makes you funny.
- I don't know if this is a compliment but.....
- Yes, it is. Now I'm driving you home but let me find the love birds first.
He said grabbing my hand and leading me to the dance floor.
Meghan and Robert were dancing, while Robert was whispering something at Meghan which made her laugh. If only things would work for them.
- We're leaving.
Thomas announced.
- Why ?
Meghan asked being curious.
- She's drunk.
Thomas said pointing at me.
- Really ? She's not herself tonight. I haven't seen Lila getting drunk ever.
Meghan said looking at me.
- I'm not drunk.
I said although my head was about to explode.
- We're leaving.
Thomas said leading me outside the club.

We arrived at my house less than five minutes later and Thomas helped me go inside my appartment following me.
- Thanks for the ride.
I said while being better now.
- No problem. Can I make you a coffee ?
- No, need to. I'll take a shower.
I said hoping that he was going to leave.
- I'll wait.
He said and after having showered and coming in the living room again he was there with two cups of coffee.
- Thanks.
I said while shipping it.
- You're welcome. I'm glad you're better.
- Don't wory Thomas.
I said looking away.
- Why are you so sad Lila ?
He asked making his voice a whisper.
- I'm not.
- It can't be because of Julian.
He said and when I didn't respond he nodded.
- I'm tired Thomas and I work tomorrow so.....
- I'll leave. Don't worry. I just don't get why you can be sad at someone you met just a few days ago but you could never be sad about losing me for example.
I though about it before responding.
- I don't think you're ever going to leave me.
- Yes, because I dedicate my entire life waiting for you. And then the question that I can't answer. Why are you sad that he left ? You barely know him.
- It's complicated.
- Why ? Was it love at first sight ?
Thomas asked sarcastically.
- No, it wasn't.
- So ?
I looked at him unable to explain.
- Thomas please.....
- Okay, I'm sorry. I'll leave. Call me if you need anything.
He said making his way to the door.
- Will do. Thanks again.
- You're welcome. Lila.......
He hesitated for a moment and I looked at him.
- Yes, Thomas....
- I need to tell you something and I want you to remember it.
- Sure what is it ?
- I....I love you.
He said and I looked at him while my hands were shaking.
- No, you can't love me.
