The Reunion.

Invitation.

Debbie
Night shifts, oh boy I hate night shifts. Luckily, I finished one of those so it's around 5 am and l am getting home to my love who is probably asleep by now.

Björn and I are together for three years, I love him so much but marriage is not in our thoughts of course as we prefer a "sambo" kind of relationship - for those who don't know this is a Swedish kind of relationship in which the couple lives together but isn't married - which I couldn't be happier because I never liked the idea of getting married and the reason why I should get married.
Me and him met at the Karolinska hospital where we both work.
Me as a nurse and him as a doctor.
I'm actually not from Sweden, I grew up in Greece but I was always dreaming about living in Sweden and working here.
Everyone knew that, back then, in my hometown that I was a Swede to be.
I was ready to do everything for my dream, so when I had the opportunity to move in Stockholm for studies I did it and here I am now.

So I'm opening the door of our apartment now, trying to be quiet not to wake him up. Björn was sleeping , not a surprise, so I took a quick shower, changed into my pajamas and I stepped into our cozy bed. He moved a little but he didn't wake up. Thank God, I had the next day off.
—————————————————————————————————
After night shifts I loose my balance on everything. I sleep in until lunch, which lunch is my breakfast and I end up at a night that I can't sleep. But today wasn't that the case, I woke up after only 5 hours of sleeping. Even Björn hadn't woken up yet, since he was working in the evening. I made pancakes and coffee and went to the bedroom to wake him up and have breakfast in bed.

"Björn, wake up love it's 10 o'clock" I always love to wake him up with a good morning kiss.

"Mhhh, good morning,why are you up so early?"

"Just couldn't sleep and I wanted to spend the day with you, I was hoping that we could go out for lunch it's been forever since we have gotten out of the house together"
I actually can't even remember the last time we went out to have fun. Both of us work a lot of hours and sometimes we have to go and for emergencies.

"Sorry Debbie but I think that's not the day, I have to go to the hospital earlier today they called me when you had your shift. We can go some other time, I promise you."
He always does that! As much as I love him I'm so disappointed when he doesn't have time for our relationship. "... thanks for the breakfast too, it was so delicious as always"

"You know I love cooking, it was nothing for me"

"Yes, I know I've gained weight since I met you. Anyway, I have to get ready for work, I don't wanna be late"

"Of course"

And that's how I was left alone again. I do love him, believe me I do and I understand that our job has weird working hours but for some months now I feel alone. We don't spend so much time together, we don't communicate that much, I don't know if it's just my idea but I hope we will fix it.
"Bye, Debbie I think I'm gonna be late, sleep without me"
Ok, nothing new.
That's when I got a mail from someone I didn't recognize.

Invitation
To Debbie S.
        The class of 2000 is having a high school reunion. After ten years, we will meet again, we will dance, sing, chat, see how our lives are now and have fun. We will remember things from the past and make new memories together. Hope we will see you too there! The party will be at 15 June 2028.
For further information send us a mail.

God, I realized that I haven't seen my classmates since our last day in school. I didn't have anything to hold me with them... I hadn't made many friendships there. I had only like two best friends and with the others we were just talking.
I remember and some boy , he's name was Shawn. I had a crush on him for three years and maybe more. We were in the same class, he was next to my desk, he was the best student.
He had told me that he liked my eyes, he had said that he liked me but in a friendly way, he had winked at me a few times, we were having fun together. He made me feel like I could tell him everything, I even told him some of my biggest secrets and we were sharing our thoughts. But nothing more than that. I don't know why I still have the same smile.
I remember him say that he was thinking about us being the only singles when we will meet again at a reunion.
And here I'm now ten years later thinking about that but he was wrong. I have a handsome boyfriend, a beautiful life here in Sweden and the job I was always dreaming of. What else would I want? I don't know if I'm going to that party, I'm not sure if I want to go back to these days... it's in a month if I want to go I have to book my airplane tickets. I still have my job and Björn... he would be here alone, I'll miss him, we have been always together at everything, on holidays, at work...
