To Express Happiness || Fayne ✔✔

After the breakfast, Irina asks Aaron. '' You got everything packed , babe?''.  Aaron munches his smoked sandwich and smiles. '' God, I'm dying to surprise Malcolm on his birthday''.  Aaron watches her as her eyebrows lift with excitement. She continues, '' Ashley is a masterpiece herself. She had it all planned''.

With that, Aaron thinks of how their 10-day trip has been cut to 7 days and Ashley knew it from the beginning. She said she wanted to surprise Malcolm by coming to his house unexpectedly. Momentarily, Shae arrives before their table, hugging Irina and bro-fisting Aaron. He briefly explains the party details, sitting beside Aaron and sharing the plate. They walk together and as they approach their rooms, Shae raises a finger at Aaron as a gesture of sparing him and Irina some moments alone. Aaron feels something sink inside his chest but gives a thumbs-up anyways.

As he enters the room, the smell of suitcases and plastic wrappers goes strong with Aaron's senses. It reminds him that it's time; to go home and start a new life. As  he watches the transparent yellow curtains turn golden with the fresh sunlight of 8 AM, he decides to open the window and let the wind carry his feelings away. Heading towards the window, he grabs the notebook from under the blanket and starts reading the latest note he wrote; the ink still hot and fresh.

Yesterday.....

Date:  7th September, 2018.

Weather (outside): Sunny

Weather (inside): Sunnier 

Dear Aaron,

Hope you are doing fine now, because things just got hella good. Thanks to you, I am free now. Whatever you did to me before, is history. You are not my happiness anymore. I don't necessarily loathe you, though. Your fate has brought me to her. Seems like you led yourself to your own destruction (chuckles). I have to say, she is hot, and she makes me burn inside, as that torturous side of you burns away with it. This is my burning happiness, Aaron. I don't need you anymore, so consider this as my last letter to you. Adios.

Yesterday was a day in heaven. Just as Irina comes from her shower, eyes still puffy from all the crying, someone knocks the door. I get up from resting, staring at the door as the person pops his head into the room.

Shae.

He stands there, with a dangerous smile. Irina doesn't look at him, as she grips the door knob, looking down. Shae enters the room and eyes me, nodding as a question of ''She ok...?''. I nod back, stand up and close the door behind Shae, and stand there. I suddenly find myself placing my head on the door and shutting my eyes firmly. Envy streamed out from a dirty side of my heart and flooded my insides. I knew what would happen next, and as I turned towards them, it happened already. They were hugging each other, wordlessly, firmly. I could just look away, but Irina was staring right into my eyes from the cuddle. Then Shae says, '' I'm sorry, Iri. You know my anger issues and you also know how much they suck''.  Irina tells him that it's okay, and asks if Zack is okay with it. Shae replies that he mended everything, and I smile hopefully. However, the burns inside get intense; from 3rd degree to 4th, then 5th, and almost  6th as Shae hugs her again, this time longer.  As he approaches me, or the door, he puts a hand on my shoulders and winks, then departs. The feeling of both happiness and sadness inside me almost makes my body explode, but just then Irina comes up to me with her elevated spirit.

''Aaron, let's be like boyfriends and girlfriends for the remaining 48 hours that we have''.

Before exhilaration knocks me out, the last words sting me right in my heart.
