Youth's POV.

The warm water from the shower flows down my body , I feel like it's washing away all my problems
I feel so relieved in my soul
I'm glad Susan and I made up , I wasn't expecting it to happen so simple,
I still have to make her believe that nothing happened between I and Dennis , it had only been a misunderstanding plot together by that conniving bitch.

I rush out of shower and grab my towel,
Today is Saturday , I have no plans for the weekend , issie's wedding is only 2 weeks away ,
Gosh I'd have to fly all the way to Ohio
If she wasn't so dear to me I won't bother going , I don't wanna be apart from Susan , especially now that we've just made up,
Or perhaps I could ask Susan to come with me?
I doubt she'd agree.
Speaking of which, I miss her face already
I should text her and have her come over,
On a second thought , I should call her instead ,
I wouldn't want her to be reminded of what Dennis did and decide not to see me

I dial her number, she picks on the second ring,
"Hey there" she says cheerily, I can tell she's smiling ,
How would I know that?
Well because I'm smiling like an idiot too, so she's definitely smiling too

"Morning baby , how are you today " I ask

"Very well, just trying to decide on what to have for breakfast"
She informs,

"Its a good thing then, why don't you come over to my place and the world best chef will cook you something delicious, what do you think?" I offer

"Mmmmm" she hums

"You had better make up your mind, opportunities like this are rare, don't make me change my mind " I say jokingly ,

"OK fine, I'm coming " she laughs as she hangs up.

**20minutes later*

I'm in my kitchen, i'm trying to tidy the piles of dirty dishes all over , damn youth!

I should have thought about cleaning before inviting susan over, gosh i hate cleaning
I can't let Susan come over with my place so messed up ,

**Bell ring**

Hell no! She's here
I quickly dumped the unwashed dishes in the trash can, I pray she doesn't open it,
I head for the door , and open

"Hey " she says smiling, ouch , her smile is so tormenting,

"Hey baby" I reply before kissing her forehead, I'm sure she wasn't expecting it,
I lead her into the sitting room, she glance around as if searching for something or someone,
It hurts that she probably thinks Dennis could be here again,

"It's just us" I say wryly answering her thought

"Oh yeah sure, was just admiring the painting hung on the wall, did you paint that?" She asks,
Pheew! I'm glad she wasn't thinking about Dennis

"Yeah , I had interest in art in junior school year, but not anymore I lost the touch as I grew, and other things occupied my mind , this is an old painting, I painted that in junior school " I reply dazing at the painting on the wall,

"Wow its beautiful, you should rekindle your passion for painting" she says thoughtfully whilst touching the painting gently

"I'm sure you're starving , so I suggest the world best cook get to work!" I announce smiling, stylishly waving of what she had said,

Painting reminds me of a sad time in my life, when I lost gran ma sally, my mom's mother,
She was my first best friend, whenever I had a problem she was the first I told , she taught me how to paint, it was her hobby , mom still have all gran ma's paintings locked up in the arctic , she died and dad left us, those period were trying times I hate to remember.

" oh, well, let's see what magic the chef can do" she mocks whilst laughing,

I smile and head for the kitchen , and she follows behind .
