Shawn dropped me at the coffee shop again and blew me a kiss before driving home. I insisted he let me walk from here, telling him I needed time to clear my head from the days events. Alex was back and I didn't know why. Sure, maybe I'm being selfish, looking out for myself every once in awhile, but if I don't, who will?
I threw my keys on the kitchen bench and sat down on the couch, taking off my vans and throwing them to the side. laying my head on a pillow, I closed my eyes and let my sleepy eyes consume me.
"Hey Melody!" Alex shouted from the other side of the phone
"Hey Alexandra!" I squealed, I hadn't seen her in two weeks as she was away on holiday to Spain
"It's so hot over here! I'm literally melting like a snowman," she giggled, causing me to laugh back as I imagined the entertaining picture in my mind
"I miss you!" I said, dulling the happy mood
"I miss you too! Just one more week and I'll be home to see my best friend,"
"One more week.." I repeated in an almost whisper
"One more week.."
"One more week.."
"One more week.."
"One more week!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, catching my breath as I sat up from where I was lying, trying to call myself down. Making my way to the kitchen for a glass of water, I grabbed a cup from the cupboard and turned on the tap, filling the glass the whole way as the sweat dripped from my forehead.
It was dark out and the moon illuminated through the light curtains, reflecting off of my glass onto the tiled walls. Picking up my phone I checked the time.
10:45pm
I'd been asleep for five hours.
Giving up on going back to sleep I sat down and checked my phone for any messages, one from Shawn and one from unknown, who I now know as Alex. I opened Alex's first, to get the worst one out of the way
From Unknown:
hey bitch, how's that boyfriend of yours, pretty handsome in my opinion, I wonder what he's doing with a tramp like you?
xoxoAlex
To Unknown:
he's not my boyfriend, leave me alone and stop texting me, i'm not afraid of you anymore! xoxoMelody.
Blocking her number, I quickly opened Shawn's message, causing a huge smile to appear on my face.
From Shawn:
Hey sweetie, I was wondering if you maybe would like to go on a date tomorrow night? To the movies or something? If you don't want to, I understand, but just text me back when you get this, please :)
To Shawn:
hey! yeah sure i'd love to, sorry i took a nap so i didn't reply, my apologies. what time will i meet you at the coffee shop at?
He texted back almost immediately.
From Shawn:
does 7:30 sound okay to you?
To Shawn:
7:30 is perfect, see you then :)
From Shawn:
see you then hun x
I have a date tomorrow night. It's been so long since I'd went out on a date, nervous was an understatement but so was excited. Finding the perfect outfit was going to be a challenge but I can't wait to get started.
