Falling In Love

CHAPTER FIVE

Left standing there, Melanie watched as Robert made his way to the elevator. They stared at each other . She waved at him and he waved back. She watched as the elevator close and stood there feeling sad wishing he could come back early. Breaking her thoughts, she entered her apartment and closed the door behind her.

Tired, she made her way to her room, changed into her pajamas, laid on her bed and covered herself with her duvet. She tried to sleep but she couldn't. All her thoughts were on Robert. She remained staring at her white ceiling until sleep caught up
with her.

NEXT MORNING

She woke up and looked at her watch, it read ten in the morning. She stretched herself like a kitten. As it was a weekend, she wasn't in a hurry like all her work days. She crawled out of her bed and went into the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth and took a warm shower. Minutes later, she got out of the bathroom with a towel on. She walked to her closet. She chose a denim short paired with a white crop top. She stood in front of her dressing mirror and did some light make-up and was good for the day.

Coming out of her room, she headed to the kitchen and made some quick breakfast. She made a cup of coffee, fried eggs and some sausages. She silently ate her breakfast. She thought on what to do since she was all alone. No Robert and her friends were all busy with their weekend. Finishing her breakfast, she cleaned the utensils she used.

Deciding to do laundry, she went to her room and picked all the dirty clothes and took them to the laundry room. She placed them in the washing machine to be cleaned. She left the laundry room and headed to her living room.

Melanie switched on her  tv. She flicked through the channels. Finding nothing interesting, she switched it off. She sat there on her couch looking into space. Breaking out her thoughts, she decided to clean her apartment.

Three hours later, she had finished doing all her chores and was tired, really really tired as Robert was the one who used to clean her apartment. She looked around and everything was spotless. Satisfied with her work, she decided take a small nap.

An hour later, she was woken by the ringtone of her phone. Looking at the caller ID, it was Mrs Hudson calling. She stretched herself and sat on the bed her head resting on the bed post and answered the call.

"Hello." Melanie answered.

"Hey, I just wanted to inform you that the documents about the cottage are being processed."

"Okay, what about them?" Melanie asked.

"I'll inform you when they're ready for signing." Mrs Hudson said.

"Yeah I'll be waiting."

"Goodbye for now."

With that she hang up. She then prepared herself to go to the mall. She got into her car and drove off to the mall. At the mall, she stood at the vegetable stock and bought vegetables she needed for the whole week. She then went to all other areas picking up everything she wanted. Satisfied, she went to the counter and payed her bill and walked out.

She carefully placed all her shopping at the back seats. She then drove off to her apartment. Reaching at her apartment, she parked her car at the apartments garage. She carried her shopping bags and headed to the elevator. She pressed the twenty fifth floor and waited.

Finally reaching at her floor, she went straight to her door. Unlocking it, she opened it wide, got in and pushed it close using her leg. She went into the kitchen and placed the shopping bags at the kitchen counter top. Unloading them one by one, she arranged them.
