Lumière over me

Lumière Over Me

There's only one phrase that can conclude my night: Athina wasn't like the other girls I got introduced to. Maybe it was the way she approached me that made her different, she didn't treat me as if I was someone famous or anything. I learned that Athina can cook, and by cook I mean chef style of cooking. Funny thing is that I love food. Random thought, but it counts. 

"I guess I'll see you soon?" Athina asked me once Taylor had left our table. 

"Yeah" I reply with a slight grin on my face, I kissed her cheek goodnight like how "gentlemen" do and watched her leave the little cafe. 

I was sitting alone in the table when Taylor had come back for me, she was wearing a smile on her face as she too watched Athina leave. "So, do you like her?" she asks.

"Why do you even set me up?" I ask her whilst sipping my drink.

"You need to stop asking me that" she replies, "so answer my question"

"To my surprise, yes I do like her" I say, "Don't get your hope too high though" I added once I saw something in her eyes flicker. We were silent after that, I found myself looking at Taylor again. I watched as the overhead lamp illuminated her face showing off a glow. 

"Lumière" I told her and she looked back at me with curious eyes.

"I don't get it" 

"It's a metaphor for overhead" I continue. "You know how the light hovers over us, that's you to me. There's this weird electric feeling that I can't explain whenever we're together"

Taylor shakes her head and chuckles slightly, "You and your metaphors" she says softly. We were again left in the silence of our unsaid words.

Upon entering my apartment I stared at the guitar laid by my bedroom door. I grabbed it and went over to the living room where I had left the papers which had the lyrics I've been writing. I scribbled down some more words until slowly I finished the song.

I strummed the guitar with the tune that I had in mind and started to sing the words. If only it would be this easy to confess.
