•Emotion• Denis Stoff

*BONUS CHAPTER* December 8th, 2018

"Need anything from the store?", I ask my mother.

She shakes her head and smiles at me, as I walk out the door.

I was currently on winter break, of my third and final year of college. Taking classes over the summer as soon as I graduated high school, and continuing to take classes for the past two summers, has allowed me to obtain my degree earlier than most people. So as soon as February rolls around, I will become a college graduate with a masters degree.

It's been over two years since I've last seen Denis. Him and the boys started their music career a few months after graduating, by releasing their debut album The Black. Of course, all the songs on the album I had already heard multiple times, but I still bought the album and listened to it when it came out, discovering that all the songs were changed in many ways.

I've kept in touch with all of them, including Denis, but Denis and I talk through letters. Letters? I know strange, why don't we just talk on the phone. But it's Denis and I we're talking about here, the most unpredictable pair to exist.

I received my first letter from Denis, it being the first time I've heard from him since graduation, at the beginning on my second semester of my freshman year of college..

*FLASHBACK*

"Hey you got something in the mail.", Jessica, my roommate, tells me as soon as I walk into our dorm.

I walk over to my desk, picking up the envelope and read the address. I slightly gasp when I read "Denis Stoff" above the address in the top left corner. Immediately, I sit on my bed and open the letter and begin to read it.

Dear Alexandria,
How long has it been since I've heard your sweet voice? 8 months? That's too long. I would call you, but I'm pretty dedicated to our promise to each other. So I know for a fact that if I call, I'll end up asking for you back. So instead I'm writing you this letter. In a few days I'll be going on tour. The first to many tours. I still can't believe we actually have an album, it's crazy. Never did I think that the lads and I would get back together and do this shit. Have you listened to it? Of course you have, we've played every song for you about a hundred times. I miss you Alexandria. I still love you, never stopped. How's college? How's Seattle and all it's rain. Remember when we danced in the rain? You looked so beautiful. I saw that you cut your hair a little bit. My hair is a bit longer now, I might cut it soon I'm not sure. I'll be sending you letters often Alexandria, since all I'll have nothing better to do on the road. Don't call, I know you and I know that you'll want to. Write me a letter.

Stoff

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

It's weird, kind of, that we've only communicated through letters, but I don't mind. At least in a way, he's still in my life.

Even though it's been so long, the feelings are still there. There's no one else for me, it's always going to be Denis. I haven't said it to him, but I'm strongly committed to the promise that we made to each other at graduation.

*FLASHBACK*

I kiss him, as if it's going to be the last time. He pulls aways and smiles at me. He steps back and looks at me.

"In five years?", He asks.

"In five years."

I smile and watch him walk away, unsure on if I would ever see or hear from him again.

Five years..

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

I walk into the supermarket, grabbing a basket and going straight to the pasta isle. I grab fettuccine noodles and alfredo sauce. I walk down the isle and turn the corner, bumping into someone.

"I'm so so- it's you." I say, looking up.

"Alexandria." Denis says, smiling down at me.

God how I've missed his accent..

I smile and then open my mouth to say something but close it, as I am at a loss of words. I wasn't expecting to see him, and it has been over two years.

"Hi, wow, what are you doing here?" I finally ask.

"Visiting my mom for the holidays. All of us are back actually, expect Sam, he's in Europe visiting his family." He answers, walking with me to the meat isle. "I'm assuming you're on break from college."

"Yeah, almost done, but you knew that because of my letters.." I say, grabbing a pack of boneless chicken breast.

"I put in my letters that I was coming home, but it's probably in your dorm, which explains how you didn't know."

I nod my head and smile, knowing I had letters from him waiting for me.

"Are you busy tonight?" He suddenly asks, after walking me out to my car, as we've been in silence since we got to checkout.

"No. Why?"

"I want to see you tonight. I miss you and I just want at least one night to be with you again. Cause who knows when I'll get a chance again." He says, looking at me.

I shut my trunk and grab his hand, squeezing it.

"Of course." I smile.

He smiles and then brings my hand up, placing a kiss on it. He lets go and begins walking off.

"I'll pick you up at 6:30 Alexandria."

"It's a date Stoff."
