So I quietly freshened up and jumped into bed. Gosh this boy...
I woke up today feeling all light and giddy quite contrary to the monotonous song of my alarm.
I quickly freshened up and went down for some breakfast. Like every other teenager, eating a healthy breakfast was not routine, but weekends were a different story.
Mom and Ty took Yoga classes on Saturday mornings. They would be gone till noon.
After Breakfast I sat with my books. My English presentation was due Monday and I still hadn't touched it.
As I started working on my presentation. My phone rang 'Randall the Jerk'. A small smile crept on my face.
I let it ring for a little while as I thought about yesterday and how much I enjoyed having him around.
I picked up.
Randall: Ahhh, somebody's up early. I thought I'd have to ring the bells in the temple of Goddess Adabelle at least another 10 times.
Adabelle: All I am gonna take from that wisecrack is that you called me Goddess. Also .... how dare you disturb this deity?Randall: Oh great Goddess, please forgive your humble worshipper. This devotee was free and remembered that he had to pay you his daily visit.
Adabelle : Hmmmm, so lost without your queen huh?
Randall: So lost, you won't believe it.Not going to lie but his words left me in a mess. It's like the cord between my brain and mouth was nonexistent.
Randall : Why so flustered Kitten ?
Adabelle : Oh shut up bitch. YOU missed ME.
Randall : Yea Yea keep flattering yourself.... Anyways What's up ? We're you studying or something?Adabelle : Was trying to work on my Sylvia Plath presentation.
She is such an amazing writer but all her work is stemmed from this destructive energy so it's kinda becoming hard to explain.
Randall : I mean we are doing Tragedies after all.Adabelle : Yea...... Did you call for any particular reason?
Randall : Well not really. Just wanted to check if I was going to have to wear a nurses costume in the near future.A small chuckle escaped his lips.
Adabelle : *fake coughs continuously for a minute*
Randall : Very Funny Kitten. But don't worry , if you're that desperate to see me in a nurses costume I'll put on a private little show for you someday.Adabelle : Desperate my foot. I love how you just assumed you'll look sexy in a nurse's costume....like you've already taken this look for a test run and have it ready ?
Randall : Is this your way of asking about my love life? If it was... nice. I admire a manipulative lady.Adabelle : Hmmm , then you're gonna love me.
Randall : That's the plan.He said almost inaudibly.
Adabelle : What ? What did you just say ?
Randall : What ?
Adabelle : What?
Randall : What ?
Adabelle : Ughhhhhh
Randall : Awww Kitten.
Adabelle : Idiot.Randall : Okay then I should probably let you get back to Sylvia Plath or ... a better idea ... should I come over and help you ?
Adabelle : Help me ? Did you guys finish this portion already in your class?Randall : Nope. I just think it's better if I am there Kitten. You're anyways gonna be distracted by thoughts of me. Specifically, me in a sexy nurse outfit. So if I am there I can snap you out of it every time you get lost in your little dream land.
Adabelle: Ha Ha ... now I know what goes on through your head the whole day. Don't worry about me Randall. You should be worrying about yourself. You're the one who sound like a lovesick puppy.
Randall: So is that a no?
He said slightly dejected. I felt bad. I wanted him to come over buy I knew if he did, I actually wouldn't be able to study or prepare much.Adabelle : Maybe come after 2 hours ?
Randall : I love how you think I am sitting free the whole day Kitten
Adabelle : Coming or no bitch ?
Randall : I'll be there. Is ten-thirty fine?
He said chuckling.Adabelle : Sure ... see you then... now please don't disturb me.
Randall : Am I really disturbing if you love my company ?
I was starting to slowly get used to how his voice went a bit deeper when he made jokes or got all smug but everytime still felt like the first time. His voice created this warm fuzzy feeling.That's all I am going to call it now, a 'warm fuzzy feeling'.
Adabelle : YES!
Randall : Okay then I'll not 'disturb' you any further Kitten.
He said pretending to be hurt. It's like I could see his eyes go all sad and his shoulders droop down.Adabelle : Hey hey I was joking. You can 'disturb' me any time. But for now let me just finish this. Then you can have my full attention.. Cool?
Randall : Cool. See you soon Kitten.The call left me feeling .... warm fuzzy feelings.
For the next two hours I sat and worked over my project. It wouldn't be so hard if thoughts of Randall weren't playing on my mind. Somehow I managed to finish the main stuff.
I left the finer details for the next day. The anticipation was interfering with my creativity. As I saved my work I looked around, my pigsty wasn't looking decent enough, which is a given because of my organised messes everywhere.
I immediately started cleaning and tidying up my room. It took me a good 25 minutes but I was satisfied. It looked neat. Just then I heard my door bell. I rushed down. Halfway down the stairs I realised I wasn't even ready.
I put so much effort into the room that I forgot to change into something nice. And there was no way I was going to the door in my home wear.
"Gimme 2 minutes " I shouted and ran back up. I quickly changed into the cutest thing I could find, threw my hair into a hair pony and ran down the stairs.
I opened the door to find Randall standing there patiently.... but ... he was dressed very ... differently.
"What are you wearing ?!?"Hi Guys, to say its been a while would be an understatement. Sorry to keep all you lovely people waiting.
