The next day, I got woken up by Jessica sniffing and sobbing. I pretended to sleep, because she maybe wanted to cry it out loud by herself thinking that I wouldn't maybe hear her. But by the time passing by, and pretending to sleep, I couldn't keep up with the acting.
"Jessica, you know that you can cry it out."
I got no respons from her, but after few seconds she started to really cry it out. I directly turned around to see her, and jumped off the maddress and went to her.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"N--no I... It's okay" I just nodded and got up and reached out my hand to her. She then looked up and questioned me by raising one of her eyebrows while removing her tears by a tissue.
"Come on, I'll make us waffles"
***********************************************************************************************
"Here you go" I said as I handed her waffles.
"Thank you"
"Hope... I am sorry for yesterday, for putting you in trouble" she said while looking down at her fork, playing around with the newly made waffles
"No Jessica, you didn't put me in any trouble at all and you shouldn't apologize. I should be the one asking you for your forgivness, what kind of a bestfriend doesn't know when their bestfriend... doesn't feel well" I said the last two words as I looked down, feeling ashamed
"Hope, you didn't know, how could you possibly know when I didn't tell you and you tried to be there during the lesson but I somehow pushed you away so, don't blame this on you" She said as she held my hand and I looked up and nodded, accepting her statement.
Then I started to hear someone laughing watching it coming out of Jessicas mouth, and my eyebrows furrowed as to questioning to why she was laughing. She let go of my hand held it over her mouth trying to stop it.
"S-sorryy I-its just hahah so emotional in this environment too."
"Okayy... so do you want to do something then?"
"Yeahh... OH MY GOD!" She yelled as she held her mouth
"What?" I said worried
"I know exactly what we can do!"
"Ohh god, seriously?? I thought it was something seri—"
"— let's go and do some shopping" she clapped her hands as she jumped up and down
"Yeah okay" Rolling my eyes at her as I took our plates to the sink and washed them.
"Go and change. And can we go to where we were yesterday and bring my car?"
"And then do what? You need to change?"
"Well no sh**t Hope, after bringing my car we will drive to my house and then to the shopping center" I started to laugh at her rude comment, but that was a good thing. Her, finally trying to be herself.
"Well okayy chill" I said as I dried the plates with help of kitchen towel and put the things back to their place
"It takes you forever, go and change and I will do this" she said as she pushed me aside and I made my way up to my room. I took out a new towel out of the wardrobe and went to the bathroom to rinse of whatever smell and dirt I had of yesterday.
While the hot water started to rain down to my skin, my mind suddenly went to him. To his actions, how his eyes were a mixture of the grey cloud with the color of a clear ocean. But my mind wandered to the part where it got me feel hurt, to the part where he left us without saying anything. I've had male friends during my 17 years but never have they made me feel this way, and neither did they make me feel hurt by them forgetting to say goodbye. Exactly, he probably forgot to say bye, or did he? Huh who am I kidding.
I exhaled and stood still while the water kept on hitting my smooth dark skin.
After a while I climbed out of the bathtub and grabbed my towel to dry my skin with water droplets. I quickly dried myself and went to open the door.
"About time, what took you so long?"
My eyes wandered to where her right arm was held up to.
"Where you about to knock on the door?"
"Hell yeah I would, it took you forever"
"Well come on, don't just stand there" she said as she pushed me away
I went to my bedroom and took a grey sweater with a black cycling shorts and paired the outfit with my white nike Air Force. Quickly I applied a thin layer of mascara and concealer for my dark eye bags. Then I let my hair that was held in a bun, in free loose. It got a bit wavy but I held it up as ponytail.
"So, here I am. Shall we go?" revealing myself to Jessica, she turned the tv off by the remote and looked at me.
"Seriously, your legs are to die for!"
"I know" I smirked as I looked at her and did the Naomi Campbell walk.
*************************************************
"This one or this?" Jessica asked as she held out two completely same tops but with different colors
"The yellow top"
She then looked side headed at the item I chose.
"You know what, I'll just take the red one. I'll be right back" she cut me off before I said something back, as "why did you even ask for my opinion".
Until she returned back, I just wandered around the store. Finding tops and trousers that would be so pretty together, but they are outfits I just can't buy. You probably would understand me if you saw the price tag. Suddenly I stopped when I saw a pretty simple necklace at the jewelry area, the prize was a bit off for me but still I couldn't just let go of that silvery necklace.
"Don't tell me that you are liking that ugly looking necklace?" I froze when I heard that voice again.
"I mean if you asked me, that necklace could have looked okay on any woman with a neck, but I don't know about you"
Did he just tell me that I wouldn't have looked good with that necklace, because of my neck? I turned and faced him, directly regretting it because of how close we were. My rage suddenly calmed down instead I started to sweat of panic, as if I was a puppy afraid of the lion.
I got lost of the comeback I wanted to respond, instead I looked around. Searching for Jessica, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"What? Are you deaf ?" He said with his sexy husky British voice. Did I just call his voice for 'sexy'? O'hell no I don't recognize this young woman.
"Exactly, "if" I asked you, which I recall I didn't!" I said trying to sound self confidence because of the short distance between us. I expected for him to say something or do anything but no nothing. He just stood there and watched me with his two blue-grayish eyes. I stared at him back trying to beat the staring contest we had but he made it difficult for me, my breathing started to increase because of his eyes wandering from staring at my eyes, to them staring at my fully lips. He probably realized that because the next thing that changes on his face was that an evil smirk was now plastered on his face.
"Huh... bye Alex" I turned and walked away
