It became cold without the sun so we decided to head back to his apartment and watch a movie. He let me choose the movie while he went to go make the popcorn and of course I chose my favourite movie of all time... "The Mortal Instruments". When he came into the lounge with the popcorn and here saw the movie I had chosen he gave me that look like "Don't you ever get tired of watching this movie?" but he sits down anyway and plays the movie knowing this movie will never bore me.
We cuddled together on the couch with a blanket and the half eaten bowl of popcorn and just when the good part came the sound of my phone interrupted us once again. I walked into the kitchen to take the call and when I walked back to the lounge my whole demeanor had changed. He noticed just like he notices everything, asked me who was that and if I'm okay or if I wanna talk about it. "They found a body."
I just stood as still as a statue in the doorway of the lounge staring into space repeating the same phrase over and over again in my head. It's as if the words were bouncing around inside my head like a tiny bouncy ball. A single tear slid down my cheek but I was completely frozen so I hardly noticed it.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw him slowly lift himself off the couch and walk over to me. When he was in front of me he wiped the tears that followed the first one away with his thumb and that was when my trance like state was broken. I blinked rapidly and he opened his arms for me to give him a hug that I desperately needed. He kept his arms tight around me like he was protecting me from some invisible force and when he knew I would be okay he let me go. We decided it was time we head off to bed and he would take me to see my parents in the morning. So with our agenda set for the next day we fell asleep in each others arms just the way it should be.
The next morning I awoke to his beautiful face right next to mine, he looked so at peace with everything around him like nothing could break the peaceful look of sleep on his face. His eyes fluttered open as if he knew I was watching him and he broke out into a smile.
"Morning beautiful."
"Morning my love."
"How are you feeling?...Wait that's a stupid question, I'm so sorry"
"Don't worry bae I'm okay I just wanna make it through this day."
