As Lina and I crash into my room long before the party ends, I have forgotten Natasha. There is nothing in the room to remind me of her, since almost every trace of the girl has disappeared. The only thing left is her perfume floating in the air and that sheet of paper waiting for me on the marble table. But I don't see all of that as Lina's kisses get more desperate and her hands fumble to open my buttons.

The next morning, I push myself out of Lina's embrace and the tangled sheets. The sun is barely rising, stretching it's orange rays out to gently pull Earth's occupants out of their peaceful slumber.
I, too, feel peaceful. I realize now that it might just be the first time. I look at Lina's bare back and silky blonde hair, and a warm feeling spreads in me. I missed that feeling, just as I missed her. I think I have forgiven her. I chuckle as I remember the scene we caused at the cafe with Natasha. Natasha... Natasha !
I turn around, panic-stricken. I silently look for her in the whole suite, as if she would have actually stayed after last night. I feel the same thing when I lose my phone, only this time, it's tripled. In my despair, I angrily wipe everything off on the marble table. I have to express my regret, though I don't want to wake Lina.
As the papers flutter to the ground, I also hear a soft cling ! Intrigued, I push the papers aside and search for what caused the sound.
Then I see it.
A diamond earring sparkles at me. I recognize the jewelry. As we were packing, Natasha had told me they were from her mother, and so her most prized possession. I suddenly feel like the Prince in Cinderella. I have to find her. But then something else catches my eye.
A letter. From her.
I sit on the floor and read it, slowly. Then, again. Tears roll down my cheeks, though I just have to laugh. Count on Natasha to be real and pull me back to Earth. Everything she says is so true, it almost hurts.
Thank you.
I know, now. I think I have always knew.
Thank you ! And good luck.
The End.
You hate me, don't you ? Don't worry, there's an epilogue. Until then, have a nice weekend.
And thank you.
