Gradually Falling

Dinner

I look at myself in the mirror and straighten my dress and fixed my curls. I lean forward to have a greater view of my eyelashes to apply a perfect coat of mascara. The doorbell suddenly rang, I look at my digital clock at my nightstand.Its already 6:55, it must be Hayden.
"Sweetie can you please get the door, Im getting the chicken out of the oven" dad yells from the kitchen.
"Okay dad".I rush downstairs and open the door.

"Hey there beautiful" Hayden said kissing me on the cheek and handing me the champagne bottle. He puts his hand in my back and we walk together in the living room,where Zach is watching his favorite cartoons.

"Hey there little buddy!" Hayden said while shuffling Zach's hair. But Zach is too distracted by the show to acknowledge him.I chuckle and I tried to dishelved his hair like he done to my brother but he grab my hand and gently kissed it.
   From nowhere someone clears their throat.We both look at each and  turn our heads at dad.
" Uhmm..Sweetheart that champagne will turn warm if you don't put that on the ice bucket" he cross his arms on his chest and slightly tapping his foot on the wooden floor.
I scratch my head "Uh uh uh...Sure" .When I start to walk I hear him say " So what's up lad??". I roll my eyes and continue to walk.

                                           *******
   The dinner was so silent and it was just filled by dad's question and Hayden's yeses and maybes.
   Right now, Im cleaning the dishes  with Hayden beside me drying the plates.
 "Babe?"

"Hmmmm?" I looked at him in the eyes.

"Uhmm I will be gone for aweek .I need to come with dad with all of his meetings in New York."He said while playing the hand towel in his hand.

"When is your flight?" I asked him.

"Tomorrow morning?" he scratch his head.

"ow okey. I'll miss you and don't forget to message me" I gave him a reassuring smile.

"I'll miss you too" he kissed me tenderly in the lips. I noticed that it is different from all of the kisses he gave me, a feeling of sadness suddenly hit me but I don't know why.

We both leaned forward so that our foreheads touching. We stay there for a minute or two and stay silent.

Hayden clears his throat we both compose ourselves.

"Uhmm...We -we should finish the dishes"

******

Hayden stayed for one more hour and decided to go home after he received a message from her mother saying it is already so late and he need to pack his things for tomorrow.

Everybody went to sleep. But I decided to stay up late. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face and change into my favorite pajamas.

I took my phone from my nightstand and open the window and carefully sit on it , dangling my feet 12 feet from the ground.Cool breeze brush my face as I watch the fireflies flying and

playing in the dark. I get my phone from my waistband and open my twitter account .

In my account i post a two emojis, everynight it is already my routine to post a two emoji that explains how was my day done. My folllowers like and retweet them even though they don't understand the meaning og those. Well thanks to mom I earned a lot of followers.After posting (Heart and praying hands),I tuck my phone back on my waist band and continue to watch stars from above.
