Water And Land

letter from home

The alarm pulled me out of a fluffy dream land harshly. It was still dark out and the street lights sent a yellow green haze into my bedroom lightly illuminating the gentlemen in my bed.  He was still happily asleep with his arms still hilding into me ever so loosely.   I gently moved his arms around a pillow so he could stay comfortable in his sleep. I leaned over and kissed him on his head and one on the lips.  I figured i would leave him a not so he dosent assume I up and left or a little freaked out.  I grabrd the post it note and carelessly wrote "headed to the showers before they get crowded.  Ill be back in a few.  Yours truly (y/n)".
It seemed good enoigh so I placed it on the night atand next to him and wemt on my journey to the showers with my fresh laundry bundled up in my arms.  My slippers felt great after being pulled from the warmth of my bed.  The elevator still played its dull mjsic softly in the background.  But for some reason this morning it sounds different.  Everything felt different.  Not a bad different either; more like thia place can easily be home for me especially with Abe here.  My shower was full of thinking this morning.  My quickly growing love for Abe.  The ammount I miss my family.  What my future may hold.  Its was everything short of much needed time to stop thinking and come undone.  I heard the door click and someone walk in.  I was in my own shower stall so I had my own privacy but was curious to who it was.  Maybe Liz was taking a shower. So i decided to call out to her.
"Liz is that you?"
"Um no. (Y/n) is that you?"
It was Abe.
"Abe whats wrong is everything alright?"
"I got a letter a pretty serious one. I had to find you."
"What is it?"
"Its from back home."
"One minute im coming out."
I grabed my towel quickly and wrapped it around myself as quick as possible.
"What dose it say?"
Abe turned around quickly.
"Um for modesty ill turn around.  But it say "Dear (Y/n) its you're Mother. you're father has grown incredibly ill and is in the hospital.  I don't have you're new phone number so I had to contact you by mail.  Youre father had a stroke and we found out that he has even more medical issues.  They say hes alright he wont die.  But it is atill pretty serious.  If you get a chance please call me or wrote back.  I know its a top secret government job so i know contact is had it would just be nice to hear from you.  Your brother misses you as well and were all sending our love to you.  Love Mom."

I heard her weep and I could feel her pain. Her father was sick and she could do nothing for him amd wasnt even there for him. Maybe if she didnt move her dad wouldnt have ended up like this.
"You know its not you're fault (y/n) these things happen. "
"Yea i know.  I juat feel guilty."
I turned around to give her a hug which she happily took. She thinks im comforting and that she feels safer around me. But now shes realizing shes in just a towel huggung me. She pulled away and covered up her chest more.
"Um sorry. I should of thought that through."
"Oh no its ok.  It was all in the moment you were just doing what a boyfriend would do."
~although most guys would take advantage of this situation.  Is it bad i kind of want him too? I just got this horrible news and now im thinking of hooking up with him god I need more self control.  Plus I doubt he would want to hook up any way.~
"Um... you're wrong....I would."
"Wrong about what?"
"Hooking up with me.  I would... in fact... Hook up with you.  You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.  Why wouldn't I want to physically express my infatuation towards you?"
She was actually speechless.  It was a good speechless. He face flushed again getting bright red as she looked down at her feet.
"In um...I would...maybe we should talk about this perhaps in the library for some privacy?"
"Well of course. Ill wait for you out in the hall."
"Ill be right out. Let me just throw on my robe."
