it was a cool fall london night, around 6 pm.


i was finally leaving my classroom. i was a school teacher at a US Air Force base teaching the children of my fellow service members (i am enlisted but were no longer actively in combat).


i had stayed behind longer than usual to grade some assignments and tutor a couple of kids. i stopped by to get some groceries to make a dinner no matter how exhausted i was.


i sighed stepping out of my car into the cold parking garage before heading into the elevator only to find out it's out of order leaving me and the stairs. i huff, tightening my grip on the bags before starting on my journey to the 4th floor.


once i make it to my door i pause to take a breath before inserting the key and opening the door to my shared apartment with my boyfriend of 2 years.


the apartment is dark and neither cold or hot showing no one has been home since this morning. i sigh thinking, 'He still hasn't come home.'


worry consumes me. i can't help but to think that he's overworking himself, he probably hasn't eaten yet knowing him.


i set all of the bags in the kitchen and starting preparing everything ill need to make a nice warm dinner. afterwards i turn on the heater to warm up the cool floors. i head to the bathroom to wash up and change out of my service uniform into some comfortable clothes(which included one of his shirts) to finally wind down and relax.


after making dinner i serve 2 plates leaving one on the counter for him to eat when he gets home. i sit down on the couch and put on a movie.


a couple movies and cups of coffee later it's 10 pm and he still isn't home. i texted him to make sure he was still alive about an hour ago:


me {hey sweetie, are you gonna be home soon? I'm exhausted and I made dinner so make sure to eat it :)}


honey<3 {I'm still at the dance studio but I'll be home soon. Thank you for making dinner darling}


me {okay don't overwork yourself you can perfect it and finish it tomorrow. love you}


honey<3 {I will hun. Make sure to not sleep too late if I don't come home soon enough okay? Your students need a well rested teacher. I love you too.}


I sighed and stood up turning off the tv and all the lights then head to the bedroom. i plug in my phone to charge before slipping into the comfy bed.


just as i was about to fall into deep sleep i remembered that i hadn't prepared some of my lessons for tomorrow. I shot up in bed and reached for my laptop.
