It was Friday night and I was working on a project for my work. I was already working for a few hours, but I wasn't productive at all.
I just couldn't focus on my work. My mind constantly went to my girlfriend, who was already 6 months away to film her new movie.
In these six months, we saw each other two times for a few days, but in those days we both had to do a lot of things so we didn't have any time to spend some quality time together.
The sad thing was, was that Cara didn't had any days of for two more months and I also couldn't come to visit her because of my work.
But even if I could come and visit her, she probably wouldn't have any time for me. She already worked so hard and her days were very long.
We just had to wait for two more months before we could properly spend some time together again.
I tried to finish my project, but I just couldn't bring myself to it. I missed Cara so much. I thought about calling her, but I didn't know what time it was there and I didn't want to accidentally wake her. She needed her sleep more than I need mine.
I sighed and closed my laptop. It was pointless. I would just finish it tomorrow. Maybe I could watch a movie or something to get my mind of of Cara.
While I switched on the tv, I grabbed a blanket and my phone before making myself comfortable on the couch.
There was nothing interesting on tv as always when you want to watch tv, so I just watched some sort of nature documentary.
It was a film about the penguins on Antarctica and why we should protect them and should fight against climate change.
After fifteen minutes, I grabbed my phone and played a game instead of paying attention to the documentary. It was just to boring.
I felt my eyes get heavier and heavier the longer I sat on the couch and after twenty minutes I couldn't fight it anymore and I just fell asleep.
"Call on meeeeeeeee call me. Call on meeeeeeeeee call me. Call on meeeeeeeeeeee call me. Call on meeeeeeeeeee call me. Call on meeeeeeeeeee call me."
I woke up from my phone going off. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the caller ID. It was Cara! It was half past 2. Why would she call me at this hour? Oh yeah right, time difference. She is probably just done with filming.
"Hello?" I croaked into the phone with my voice still hoarse from sleeping. "Hey babe! Did I wake you?" Cara says with an concerned voice. "Babe, it's half past 2 here, what do you think? But I'm glad that you called though!" I heard Cara sigh.
" I'm so sorry Y/N! I don't know why I keep calling you at this time. I just keep forgetting about the different time zones. Do you want me to call you back later? I don't want to disturb your sleep!"
I chuckled and answered her. " I'm already awake now babe. And I want to talk to you. So how was your day? And when are you coming home? I miss you so so much."
"Awww I miss you too baby! So so much. I can't wait to see you again! But I will let you sleep now! I also need to go to bed anyway. Get some rest! I will be home in 1 month instead of two! So just 4 more weeks! We can survive that easily! I love you Y/N. Sweet dream!"
"You're coming home earlier? Great! I love you too! And I will see you soon! I can't stand to be away from you any longer..." I said with a sad voice and tears in my eyes.
I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt the urge to cry. I just missed Cara so much and I was stressed from work and everything added up together was just a little bit too much.
"Aww baby are you crying? Please don't cry! Not when I'm not there to comfort you. I love you so much! Never forget that! But what's wrong?"
"Nothing babe, I'm just overreacting. I'm just stressed from work and I miss you so much. I just want to see you."
"Awww my poor baby girl. Get some sleep! The sooner I will be with you again! I love you! See you soon!"
After that we bid our goodbyes again and we hung up the phone. I put my phone off and I went upstairs to get ready for bed. I was sleepy like hell.
As soon as I lay down in my bed, I fell asleep. I was exhausted after a whole week of work.
"Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring."
I woke up from the door bell. It was 12:00 So I slept quit long, but I still got a little bit annoyed because someone dared to disturb my sleep.
I quickly put on a sweater with sweatpants and I walked downstairs. The person in front of the door really wanted to come in, given the times he or she already rang the doorbell.
I opened the door and asked a bit rudely without looking who it was: "What do you want?"
"Well that's one way to greet your girlfriend. I expected a little bit of a warmer welcome."
I hear a very familiar female voice coming out of the person in front of me.
I look up and my eyes meet Cara's eyes. My eyes lit up and I immediately jump into her arms. She holds me and I just hug her tighter.
"You're home! Why didn't you tell me? I love you so much Cara and I missed you so much. Thank God you're home."
"I wanted to surprise you. I have two weeks off and then I have to go back for 1 month and a half so that is duable. But now we can enjoy each other company for two weeks! I already called your boss and you don't have to go to work! He said you worked hard enough to get a break for two weeks. I'm so glad I can finally see you again."
While Cara was talking she walked the two of you back in the apartment and she set the two of you on the couch.
"You are lighter than when I left. Did you eat enough? You didn't stop eating again did you? Please baby, you need to keep eating." She asked me with concern laced in her voice.
" I'm sorry babe. The last few weeks were just so stressful. I missed you so much and I worked so hard. I did eat, just not very much. But I will start eating more from now on!"
"Good. You can always talk to me to stop this kind of things from happening you know. I mean, I'm your girlfriend who loves you very much. You can trust me."
I nodded and just cuddled closer to her and she also pulled me closer into her.
"Please remember that I will always be there for you. I love you Y/N."
"I love you too Cara."
