Reinvent Love

Phone calls from unwanted callers

when morning came Addy got up and I purposely stayed in bed. I was too afraid to confront her after what happened last night. Of course eventually I had to because I had lectures to go to today. There was about a half an hour we spent together before I had to go. I kept my head down, just like school. You'd think a moment like that would bring you closer, but no, all I wanted to do was get the fuck away. I've never let myself trust someone and then I just go and mess it all up. Great going Ruby. I said goodbye and went to my lecture.

After the social studies lecture I had a science lecture. I went to that and then it was time to eat lunch. I decided to eat alone today, still afraid of confronting Addy. I went to a small cafe that was on campus. I had never been there before so I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, I was hit with the smell of coffee instantly. Me liking the smell, I was okay with it. There was a small band playing on a corner stage. The singer was a tall, skinny man with a great voice. he was singing popular songs like i'm yours. A waiter sat me down and asked what I would like. I ordered a lemonade and a sandwich. I ate quickly, paid, and then made my way home.

when I got home Addy wasn't there. Thank goodness, I thought to myself. I went up to the loft and grabbed my ukulele. It had been a while since I've played. I started to play girls/girls/boys, A song I learned when I first knew I was bi. It was my own made up chords, considering I wasn't too good back then. It was basically just C,A minor, F, And G, but it worked. Before I knew it 10 minutes had passed. Later I heard The door open and in walked Adiline.

" Hey Addy!" I said very enthusiastically,pretending like last night never happened. I thought the more I forgot about it she would too.

" Hi Ruby!" She responded. She put down her stuff and made her way up to the loft.

" Can I move the curtain for now?" She asked me.

" Yeah go ahead"

She proceeded to wrap the curtain around the rope until it was all up at the top. then she sat on her bed.

" So how's it going?" I asked her.

" Good I guess", She responded. " What have you been up to while I was gone?"

" just watching some youtube and playing the ukulele" I said.

" Some time I want you to play for me", Addy said, sounding like a little kid.

I thought about it for a second, " You know what, I could play a song now if you want", I said while a smile made its way onto my lips. Addy perked up quite suddenly, " Really?"

"Yeah you just have to pick a song, just name one i'll say if I know it.

"hmmm, do you know I'm not angry, I can sing along with you", Addy said smirking.

" Whatever you say ma'am" I said jokingly.

I started to play an E minor. " I'm not angry anymore, well sometimes I am. I don't think badly if you, well sometimes I do", I sang. Addy joined me at the chorus, " It depends on the day, the extent of all my worthless rage and, I'm not angry anymore" We finished the song and I put my ukulele down. Addy was a good singer.

" Wow you're really good" Adiline told me.

I felt myself starting to blush, " Well i've been doing it for quite some years, I'd hope so."

"Some time soon you should show me a song you know on the piano" I said.

" Maybe", She said with a smirk.

" Oh come on, you can't do me like this" I said.

"Oh yes I can.", And with that, she grabbed the curtain and unraveled it so the wall was back down.
