Love Comes in Many Ways.

Call Me

Penelope✄ :

Weekends are honestly the best. I can lounge around, be on my own and do whatever I please. I can be myself. I love being in my room with only the sun's lighting while I read in peace. It's something I look forward to every week. It puts my mind in a state where I forget about the problems around me and lets me fantasize about a different life. For example, having a love affair with Harry Styles and living my life to the fullest or getting a tattoo when I travel to a new place, or dancing around half-naked in Harry's closet. Exploring the town with friends almost every night would be more relatable while singing our hearts out. The last one seems simple, but I don't fit in well, so I hardly experience the outside world. Only what I see in movies or read in books.

I read for most of my Saturday. I decide to make myself something to eat since I've neglected that. I eat alone in the kitchen, tossing small pieces of food to my adorable black pug, Brian. My parents were wary of getting a pet, but a couple of years ago they finally gave in and got me the only thing I begged for. A cute and charming pug. He's the sweetest. I watch him chew on his toy while I finish my food and head back to my dimly lit room. I suddenly remembered Violet and grabbed my phone. I think half a day is a good enough waiting time to text someone.

I proceed to text her and start biting my nails while I wait. I'm not sure why I felt nervous about texting her. I always felt annoying texting first with anyone. I suddenly heard a ding and my face lit up. She texted back! We had a typical text talk. We started off with what we were doing then if we had any plans this weekend. She said her and Shawn were probably going to go out or she had her own plans to go out. I felt embarrassed that I had absolutely no plans to leave the house. The smallest things made me felt insecure. Julien said he was busy with his family so we couldn't make any plans. I was upset, but I understand, and I don't mind being alone. It's what I'm used to and grew up with.

*Ding ding*

Violet: "you know if you ever get tired of texting I don't mind if you call. it'll keep me more focused anyways (:"

Was this her way of telling me to call her?

"Well... i am alone so i guess it wouldn't be too awkward. 😊" I replied back.

The phone ringed for a couple of seconds before I heard it answer.

"Hello?

"Hi, this is Domino's. What can I get for you?"

"Wow. Hi, Violet."

"Alright, not a jokester. Got it."

She made me giggle a lot.

"Sorry, people can't tell when I'm sarcastic or not. I need to work on that."

"It's alright. I was teasing anyway." I could feel the smirk through the phone.

"When you said talking would make you focused, what did you mean?" I hope she could get over my random questions. I tend to do that a lot....

"I get distracted easily and I didn't want to leave you hanging. I don't want you to hate me already." She chuckled lightly. Her voice was smooth, quite soothing actually.

"Thank you for considering that. I feel like no one cares and just lets it happen." I said sadly.

"Well, I'm not the kind of person to leave people behind. Besides, you seem really cool and nice so why would I wanna leave that?" Why am I screaming inside?

"What if someone is annoying?"

"Then that's a different story." She giggled which made me smile.

"Um, so what are you up to right now?" I asked while scrolling through Facebook.

"I am sitting on my lazy ass watching tv. I'll probably get going soon. I can't be in one place for too long... I like to be on the move." I could faintly hear the voices of the tv through the phone in the background.

"I'm kinda the opposite. I like being in one place but some days I'm like I wanna be everywhere." Why was I looking through Facebook? I wasn't even paying attention to the posts.

"Not so much of a spazz like me, huh?" We both chuckled softly while I shook my head.

"I guess not. However, it's hard for me to stay still... I have to be moving some body part. Sorry that was random. Ugh, I need better social skills." I could feel my cheeks heat up with embarrassment as I shook my head at my awkwardness.

"No, it's actually kinda cute, so don't worry too much about it." I can hear her smile through her laugh.

"You're too nice. Are you a robot? An alien?!"

All she could reply with was a laugh. I'm glad I could make someone laugh. I felt like I lacked the funny gene in my family.

This continued for another couple hours or so. I didn't realize how fast the time went by until I looked at my phone. It was very silly and interesting what our conversations consisted of. Never an awkward moment. I started to feel bad because I felt like I was keeping her from going out. I practically made her get off the phone so she could go out. She said she felt fine staying in and talking because she enjoyed it but I didn't want to be that friend that was controlling or whatever.

We eventually hung up and I genuinely felt happy. I had a smile on my face... she was so sweet. How did I get so lucky to find an amazing friend like her? Oh right, Julien. I can definitely thank him.

Now what to do for the rest of the day... I guess I can continue reading my book.

Violet☾:

My conversation with Penelope was quite interesting. She seemed more talkative unlike when we first met. She's definitely comfortable behind the phone rather than face to face. I can understand that. It's easier to feel like you're not getting judged. She's quite the dorky type. It was very entertaining. She's adorable.

I wanted to get to know her more, but she made me get off my ass which is rare since I'm always on the move.

Is it weird to say I feel like we have a special connection? I've had many friends before, but with her it's different. Honestly, I feel as we were meant to find each other, and we can thank our boyfriends for that. I don't wanna let her down. I tend to hurt people unintentionally. I hope I can be different for her. She's special and deserves the best.

Isn't she the cutest? I can't wait for our sleepover. I rarely went to sleepovers. Only when I was a lot younger. No one invited me to them, or my guy friends thought it was weird. I'm actually excited to have one with her. I have a feeling it's going to be really fun and uplifting.
