The small girl tucked up her legs and rested her head on her knees. She asked herself over and over again when her boyfriend will finally arrive. She hasn’t seen him in a while now and she missed him a lot. He said he would arrive at 10pm at their small apartment. Now it was already 11:30. She started worrying at 10:30 already. Now she was even more worried. What if something happened to her boyfriend? She loved him more than everything and didn’t want to lose him. “He’ll arrive soon“, she told herself over and over again. She turned on the TV and tried to focus on it. She started watching a random TV series. She tried focusing, but she got more and more tired. She laid down and got a blanket. She cuddled with the blanket and started missing her boyfriend more and more. Usually she would watch Adventure time now, lay on his chest and slowly fall asleep. She took a quick look at her phone.
No Messages.
No Calls.
She unlocked it and thought about calling him for a second. But she didn’t want to bother him or anything, so she just laid her phone back on the table next to her and slowly stood up. She made her way to the kitchen and almost slipped on a T-Shirt. She picked it up and looked at it. It was definitely her boyfriends T-Shirt. She smelled at it. It smelled just like him. Since nobody was home anyway, she quickly pulled her own T-Shirt over her head and put on her boyfriends. She made her way to the kitchen and reached up to get a cup. She could not get it from down there, so she climbed on the counter and got her cup. She jumped down and put her cup down. The cup was big and light blue with beige dots on it. Her boyfriend gave it to her as a birthday present. She smiled at the memory. She started pulling a small package out of the pocket of her sweatpants. He gave it to her as well. It was a necklace. A necklace with a small silver heart. She put it back in her pocket. Then she started making Chai Latte. It was probably her favourite warm thing to drink. She couldn’t decide between Tea and Chai Latte. She loved both. Slowly she started to walk up and down in the kitchen while her Chai Latte was still too hot. She was very sensitive so she needed to wait a little bit until she was able to take it. She looked into the fridge and closed it again, without taking anything. She did that a lot, especially when she was bored. After a while of walking up and down in the kitchen and opening the fridge a few times she finally took the cup and walked back in the living room. She pulled off her pants and sat down on the couch. Nobody was home, so she could just do what she want. Although she would’ve done it if her boyfriend would’ve been home as well, so it didn’t matter at all. She was still worried and checked her phone every five minutes. She started watching TV again and watched a random Music Channel for a while. She stood up and sang along passionately. She got more and more scared the later it got. She was alone after all and she was scared that something happened to her boyfriend. He was in China to do some work and to visit his family. He didn’t see them a lot, that’s why he stayed there for two weeks. She wasn’t able to accompany him, because she was still in college. She missed him a lot and two weeks felt like two years for her. Since he wasn’t coming back, it felt like he wanted to avoid her or something like that. She knew herself, that it wasn’t true, but she just was really insecure about herself and thought that she was really annoying. Her boyfriend knew that, but she just couldn’t accept it. It didn’t matter how often he told her and how often he will tell her, she just couldn’t believe that someone thought she was beautiful and not annoying and a really nice person. She threw herself on the couch again and started to get more tired. “I can’t sleep right now”, she told herself over and over again. She stood up again and wandered through the room. The music was still playing in the background. A song started playing and she recognized it, when she heard the first note. It was their song. It was really special to her. They listened to it, when they kissed the first time. It was on their third date. He showed her a nice place at a lake nearby her apartment. She still visits it often. The song was Open Arms, she really loved that song and started to sing along. Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening and started running towards the corridor. She saw him and jumped on him, causing him to stumble and almost fall on the floor. He laughed and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and started crying.
“I missed you so much and I was so scared without you and I was alone and--“
“I missed you too, babe”, he said and kissed her tears away, “Don’t cry, I’m sorry, that I am so late, but we had some trouble with the plane and the taxi didn’t came.”
“It’s fine now, you’re there”, she said, still crying and wrapping her legs even tighter around his waist, “I just missed you so much.”
“Yeah, I missed you too”, he smiled and kissed her sweetly.
“Kurisu~?”
“Yeah?”, he said, carrying her to the sofa.
“Will you watch Adventure Time with me?”, she giggled. Although she knew that it was really boring for the tall boy.
“Ah, yeah sure”, he smiled, happy to see his girlfriend again.
“Yay”, she said and snuggled against him.
“Are you hungry?”, he asked.
“Hmph~. A little bit, yeah.” He turned around and carried her to the kitchen, letting her down on the counter. She swung her legs slightly and smiled at his caring behavior.
“What do you want?”, he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.
“I don’t know, just make me something”, she said and smiled.
“Hmph~”, he said and scratched the back of his head with his huge hands. He opened the fridge and closed it again. Then he opened the freezer. He took the ice cream and closed the freezer again. He picked her up again and carried her to the sofa. He put her down and went back to the kitchen to get spoons. She stood up and got her Laptop to watch Adventure Time. He came back and laid down on the couch. His feet were dangling off the couch. She smiled and laid down on his chest, putting the laptop on the table in front of them. He smiled at her and kissed her passionately.
“I love you, Lara”, he said and smirked. She blushed and buried her face in his neck.
She mumbled something like “I love you too, now let us start watching Adventure time.” He smirked and put his arms around her tiny waist and let his hands rest on her back, drawing circles.
As they started to watch, Lara quickly got more and more tired and soon she fell asleep. Kris noticed it and gave her another sweet kiss. He silently closed the Laptop and picked her up. He tried to carry her up into their bedroom, without waking her up. And he succeeded. Carefully he put her down in their bed and smiled at her appearance.
“I love you, Goodnight babe”, he said and covered her with a blanket.
