In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 19

I lean back on my office chair as I started rummaging my box of where I keep the most important things in my life. I shut my blinds in my office so the other doctors and nurses on the emergency room won't see me. I just finished doing the usual check up rounds and I decided to take a rest.

My lips curve up to smile as my hand grasp an old iPod that Lauren and I used to lend one another. My fingers run through the brailles patched on the side of an iPod.

We were only dating for a week when the green-eyed goddess told me that we should get to know each other by recording the stuff we wanted to tell to one another and then asked a question. It doesn't seem bad so I agreed that we should do it.

I stopped my bike as we reached the front of my girlfriend's home and she hop off my bicycle. She fish something out of her pocket and she handed it to me,

I knotted my eyebrows as I saw her trying to give me an iPod. "Uh- why are you giving this me?" I tilted my head at her, eventhough I know she cannot see me and I questioned her.

"Because I want to let you hear everything," The Latina beamed. "The songs that I like and the things I wanted to tell you... I want to share it to you." My heart flutters as I heard that she wanted me to know her more. Well, that's what people in a relationship do, right? But still.

"So, if you have anything you want to tell me, just record it in there and give it back to me." Lauren added and I can't help but smile at her cuteness. "To put it simply, it's like an exchange diary just for the two of us." She said.

I take it from her hand and place it inside my pocket. "Okay, now go inside before you catch a cold." I place a kiss on her forehead and hug her.

She hums and said, "You should go too. Be careful on driving your bike, okay?" I nodded my head at her. "Goodnight, Y/N."

"Goodnight, Lauren."

She pushed her gate open as she started walking to her front door. I didn't leave until I can see her making her way inside her house. And when I saw her close the door, that's when I turned around and ride my way home.

Memories of where I used to listen to her ramblings or when she's telling me her favorites and her dislikes, or her opinion at something or when she's telling me the story of where she spends her typical day with Lucy, in this device everytime I'm on a break in my work, or when I'm in school, started flashing back in my mind. I can't believe how time flies so fast.

I've been using Lauren's iPod for more than a decade and we've been handing this thing back and forth for more than four months, before my mom died and we moved to Boston. I can't believe that she didn't even recognize my voice when I talked to her yesterday and asked her where or how to get to the observatory.

I chuckled at myself as keep on staring at the device that's on my hand. "Stupid," I shook my head in amusement. "I can't believe that won't recognize my voice." I sighed happily as I finally see the girl I wanted to be with for twelve years. "You know, you haven't change at all." I murmured. But then the happy look on Lauren's face when I saw her cleaning the ambulance yesterday, comes back to my mind. "Actually you did, you changed. You've become more energetic person. And you seem to smile a lot, now. I miss you so much, Lauren." I said and grab the earpods and place it in the whole of my ears. I open the iPod and started playing the first recorded audio that Lauren made me listen.

"Y/N, before I can say anything else. I just want you to know that I've missed you, a lot. I know we only didn't see each other for a day, because of your school and your final exams are today. Goodluck baby, I know you will do well. If you're done with your exams and your dismissed, can you please stop by at my work, and pick me up?" I can hear a smile on her voice and she continued, "I miss your ugly voice already so hurry up and nailed that test! You better get a high score babe." My heart melted at Lauren on how she called me a different term of endearment, twice. Then heard her sighed deeply and I can't help but laugh. "Anyways. you have to listen to this, this is my favorite song, it's called; fallingforyou by The 1975. I love that band and that's one of my favorite songs from their album. It's a dream of mine to see them and hear them perform live. Gosh, I like Matty Healy." She gushed and continued, "But don't be jealous baby, I like you more than Matty Healy." Her cute giggles erupted and my heart can't stop from beating so fast. "Well, their album are great but I don't know why, but it kinda reminded of me you everytime I'm listening to it." She rambled cutely.
