WATTPAD BEING WEIRD SO SONG IN EXTERNAL LINK ON THE RIGHT

The phone rang the next morning. I was drinking tea and reading the newspaper. 9:04 am. I struggled moving. I needed to decide in such a short amount of time. One ring had already passed.

FUUCKK.

 

I didn’t want to talk to him but I didn’t want to not talk to him ever again. I selfishly wanted him to keep up with me. He cared, and I shouldn’t act like that comes around in your life all the time. 

3 rings.

I rush up from my seat and ran to get my phone from the living room table. I quickly answered the phone.

“Hello?” I say

“YES, YOU ANSWERED.”

I laughed and I could feel him smiling through the phone. I could do that. Picture his reactions to what I say in my head. I could see him.

“I can tell,” I awkwardly start, “ I don’t know-just- SEE, your making me feel stupid again.”

He laughed. His laugh was smooth like the sea.

“I’m smiling because you are amazing and weird and quirky and I like it. You are refreshing and you picked up the phone and I don’t know why because I feel guilty for having you.”

I choked. I was trying to process his confusing information as well as him compliment at the same time. I wanted to smile but I also didn’t. I am so weird.

“Why do you feel guilty? And by the way, you don’t have me, no one does, I am not a toy, I am a human being.” That kind of annoyed me. He takes a step forward then a step back…
