What If Cinderella Never Left Her Shoe?

The Girl Who Dates Raemus

{ eight }

The next morning, the rays of the sun are cruel. They shine straight to me like a portal escorting me to heaven. I hate that thought. I cover my face with my hand, still it's no use. They are still shining down to me.

"Oh, fine! fine! I'll wake up. Geez. Stupid rays." I talk to them as if they can hear me.

As I step my left leg on the floor, it felt flaccid and because it couldn't carry my weight, I fall down straight to the floor. Back first.

"Fuck you, karma. Why do you have to be so fast?" I said as I struggle to get up.

I look at the clock and realized it's already past 10 in the morning, so I decided to skip bathing. Annita should be here sooner. I really hate to go but this is the only way to keep her away from me, I supposed.

I grab another shirt from drawer. I picked the orange shirt with a tiger's face printed on it. Maybe Katy Perry will like to see me today? I partnered the shirt with a white chinos and a matching topsider. I put on my bracelets and watch. Fix my hair a little bit yet I don't know how I looks because of the broken mirrors. The shards are still lying on the floor.

*Knock, knock, knock*

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me, buddy"

I was stopped. For a minute, I thought of twice of whether I will open up the door or not. He clearly is a letdown, especially last night. But my body thinks of its own, I found myself opening up the door and letting Dolph in.

"Hey, buddy. Where are you going today?" He asked.

"Oh, just off to somewhere." I answered.

"With Locke?"

I look straight at him and give a confuse expression. "No. Why'd you ask?"

"He's not in his room. I wanted to ask forgiveness for last night." He said. His face that resemblance an angel comes out again, just like when we first apologized. "I also owe you an apology."

"Aren't you afraid that you'll run out of 'sorry'? You're always saying that yet you're letting us down, giving us false hopes." I said.

"Raemus, I'm just a human like you. I make mistakes. I'm not a cyborg that is programmed to be perfect, I'm just trying my best but I cannot promise anything. All I want is for you to fully forgive me." He said. His face looks a little bit in pain now, emotional pain. "Maybe this isn't the time to beg for your apology. I'll leave now."

He closes the door as soon as his sentence is finished.

I stood there motionless. Again, I did a horrible thing to him. But I can't blame myself either, I have no other way to show him the consequence of the mess he made. I have to release this heavy feeling. I have to have a heart of stone.

*Beeep, beeep, beeep*

I heard a car horns outside. It's probably Annita. I grab my RayBan and a bandanna to tie around my fist and leave my room. My wounded fist is really healing fast, scars are slowly forming. Maybe when this is fully healed, I'll accept that Cyndey is really just a memory. . . .

I swiftly run downstairs as I heard the beeping continues. I can see no one at the living room so I went straight outside. It's funny that the front door is still lock and it's almost noon. Maybe we were really exhausted last night.

I went out and I saw Annita. She's sitting on the car's hood. She looks like a pin-up girl actually and to top it all she's wearing a black mini dress that hugs her skin tightly. She really looks good and hot.
