viii.INTOXICATING CREATION AND ENDLESS ELATION
(bruno major—cold blood)
Yesterday, we had spent the rest of our day at the coffee shop. We had talked a lot, about you, about me. The main problem had been tucked and locked at the back of our mind. I had tried to disregard the negative thoughts in my head and turned on a blind eye. The mood had lightened after that, and you were able to tell jokes and had made me laugh occasionally.
And when you had laughed, it was honeyed, dulcet, and rich. The best combination for your velvety laugh. It was as though a lullaby had filled the small shop and awakened the pureness in me. The mellifluous voice of angels singing would pale in comparison to your laughs.
I was high off you; your voice, your laugh, your face, your everything. It was everything I could think off even until I had reached home, still daydreaming. You even volunteered to accompany me on the way to my place. I had told you not to stress about it, but I should have known that you were stubborn and was persistent about it.
We had talked more after that, even exchanged Instagram accounts and phone numbers. I had leapt onto my bed, too elated to care. And I had fallen asleep with your good night text. I had thought of stalking your pictures but, I didn't need to. Because you came into my dream.
It had felt all too sudden, though I should have seen it coming. You had been a resident in my mind, it was not a surprised my brain kept thinking about you even when I was sleeping, resulting in one of the best dreams I had ever had.
I had just finished turning off my stove when a notice erupted from my phone, lighting up the screen, signalling a new notification had just come in. Before I set up my plate full of untouched breakfast. I hastily ran to the counter to check on it. A message, I noticed and my face heated up almost immediately when I saw that it was you who just sent a message.
Felix
u awake yet?
My hands trembled as my fingers travelled across the screen to reply back at you. I could already feel the sweat forming on my palms.
You

Felix

You

Felix

no one broke into my house last night
You
what happened then?
Felix
i couldn't wait to see u again
My trembling hands had almost dropped my phone, my heartbeats thumping wildly even reaching my ears, loud and clear. You could have been my biggest downfall and I still wouldn't care. You were the reason I woke up on cloud nine, for once in my life I had woken up with a purpose, a new hope and an actual genuine smile.
Felix
are u at home by chance?
You
yeah I am
why?
Felix
good
cuz I'm standing in front of your flat looking stupid and lost
My eyes widened, with the phone still gripped on my hand, I dashed towards my front door, opening them and in an instant, I was greeted by your hooded figure, your phone also still on your hand. You had the same backpack on your back, though your skateboard was missing this time. It felt like a storm came through my vision, my eyes were watering and my lips had gone dry but I couldn't tear my eyes off you.
"Hi." You smiled, that God-forsaken smile.
My breaths were heavy, my face was probably crimson red, however, I still managed to breathe out a shaky 'hi' back at you. "What are you doing?"
"Spending the few last of my life with you."
My smile wavered, an ice cold water tingles down from my head down to my whole body and I swore I could feel my heart sunk and felt it shattered like a frail kaleidoscope, once beautiful but now left only fragments of it.
