Fleeting

So So Much

Hi. I know I've been gone for waaaaaay too long but hopefully this one might make up for it? (Actually this was a really cute idea in my head but I'm not sure what happened when I started writing)

There is a bit of swearing in this but it's not much. I change POVs quite a lot in this one so don't get confused :)

Other than that, I hope you'll enjoy this itty bitty.

Also, HAPPY VALENTINES' DAY! :D

"I hope he likes this." I say to myself as I walk to the cashier with the headset in my hands. His birthday is coming up so I've been buying a few things to give him.

My phone buzzes and a smile appears on my face of the possibility of it being a text from him. My smile fades when I realize it's just a game request. I pay for the present and head home.

"I really hope she likes this" I look at the bracelet in the blue box. I still don't know why I'm buying this now since I have no way of giving it to her. I let out a sigh and walk towards the food court where Brent is waiting for me.

"Hey dude." It wasn't hard to find him since the place is pretty much empty, which is kind of weird since it's basically present shopping season.

"You were actually faster than I was expecting, you usually take forever to pick a gift for her." I roll my eyes at him and motion for him to stand.

"Let's just go you fuck head." He puts a hand over his heart in mock hurt but he's known for being over dramatic so I just walk ahead of him.

"Why the hell is Tara with you anyways, you're always so mean."

"I ask myself that everyday dude."

The light blue light reflects onto my face from the screen as I wait for Alex to get online. I'm in a grey tank top and my pyjamas bottoms. I hear the familiar tune of a call and I immediately answer it. After a few moments his face appears on my screen and I can't help but smile.

"Hey you." He has a white shirt on and I can tell from his slightly wet hair that he probably just got out of the shower.

"Today must be our lucky day since we don't seem to have a hearing problem." I say and I can hear his soft laugh.

I wish I could hear that laugh in person again and play with the ends of his shirt.

She's talking about her day and how she almost got hit by a bicycle. Her hair is down like it usually is and I wonder if she smells like the strawberry shampoo that she has in her bathroom. Maybe she bought something different already.

"So how was your day?" I hear her ask as she moves her legs on her bed and she's sitting cross legged.

"It was same as usual, I went out to the mall with Brent and he was being an asshole as usual." I get a laugh from her and I wish I could save that laugh in my mind forever. A strand of hair falls and she tucks it behind her ear.

I wish I could have been there to do that for her and watch her start to blush and smile.

"So when I was working the other day, the old lady came in and- can you wait for a sec, my mom is calling me for something." He gets up to leave the room so I take time to look around his room, at least what I can see with the angle. Alex doesn't like mess so he keeps his room clean and tidy unlike my younger brother Josh.
