2. - It's Nice Seeing You Again

SUFI (Song Used For Inspiration): 'Butterfly Culture' by Benjamin Francis Leftwich

~~~~~

Lily and Mat looked at Rob and I in worry, as if him and I were going to fight, but it wasn't going to happen, at least, I didn't think so. Everything was silent for a few moments, and my throat felt dry, but I say, "It's nice seeing you again, Rob."

He licked his lips, which were probably dry, and answers, "It's nice seeing you as well, Remmi." Mat and Lily both were still nervous, because Mat was tapping his foot anxiously and Lily was biting her lip.

"WELL, I'm hungry, I'm kind of hungry." Lily admits, changing the subject.

"Oh, I'll go get the food from-" I began.

"No, I'll, go." Rob suggests, looking at me.

"You know what, how about you guys, stay here, and I will go get food. Ok? Ok." Mat suggests without wanting any of our answers. And with that, he left the room, only leaving Lily, Rob and I, in this room. Gee, thanks for your help, Mat. We all stand there awkwardly, making me feel weird and impatient. Rob then came in, and sat down on the only sofa.

"So, when did you decide to come back to Canada?" Rob asks, breaking the silence, which I was grateful for.

"I came back today, I had to." I answer quietly, looking down at the floor and gripping on my own arm tightly.

"It's for a uh, job thing." Lily tries explaining, but it leads Rob on to more questions.

"Oh, a job thing?" Rob asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, we both have the same job. My name is Lily by the way." Lily says, putting her hand out.

"Robert, but you can call me Rob." Rob says, shaking Lily's hand. Now that Lily introduced herself, I'm sure if I bring something up, it'll most likely change the subject of me being back.

"Um, Rob, if you don't mind me asking, how has everyone been doing, while I was gone." I ask hesitantly, hoping to get a good answer instead of a rude answer, like Mat.

"Well, everyone I know has been doing well." Rob answers warmly. I give him a small smile, and look around awkwardly.

"Coffee..I'm going to go get some coffee..." Lily says, getting up.

"I can go get it, of you want-" Rob asks.

"No, I'll go do it." Lily says, getting up and leaving the room. I could tell she didn't like a lot of tension, which was understandable, considering the fact that I am with someone that I haven't seen in three years. Rob and I sat there, looking at each other in silence. I tried my best not to, but each time I wanted to say something, I looked at him, but I'd forget my question right there. Then, I couldn't take it. I walked up to him, and hugged him, even though the camera around my neck made it hard to, but I couldn't care less.

"I'm glad to see you again." I whisper, my eyes closed with my hands around his neck, and my face in his chest, feeling the soft, grey fabric from his sweater against my cheek.

"It's good to see your face again, Remmi." Rob confesses, patting my back in comfort, as if I were going to cry. But I wasn't, I couldn't. If this was my first time seeing Rob again, then I don't want him to think I was a coward, a crier.

"I'm back! Er, am I, interrupting something?" Mat says, who was probably back with food because I could smell the aroma from the food from all the way across the room. I pulled away, and gave Rob a warm smile, but turned to glare at Mat, who was smirking.

"Yeah, you were interrupting our friendly welcome." I retort, putting my hands on my hips.

"Well sorry, but I brought food." Mat says, setting the bag of food on the brown wooden table, "Where's Lily?"
