Collection Of One Shots About Love

Her Dead Husband (2)

"D-Dimitri?" Her wet brown eyes opened wide in shock.

"Girl- Who's Dimitri?" The man, 'not-Dimitri', sat up and struggled up to his feet.

"How do you feel?" Nikita anxiously stood up.

He looked back at her and paused for a moment. "Like shit. Where am I?"

"You're at home... you really can't remember? Dimitri?" Her tears dried, but she couldn't quite get a grasp on her current emotions.

"My name isn't Dimitri." He looked around slowly with no familiarity. "It's Calix."

Nikita began to laugh nervously. "What are you taking about?"

"My name is Calix. Who are you and what am I doing here?" 'Calix' asked, slightly panicky.

"What? No, your name is Dimitri." Nikita raised a hand to her face as shock began to set in. "I'm you're wife."

'Calix' stopped for a moment, then he suddenly walked out of the bedroom. "I got to get the hell out of this place. Where's the door?"

"Wait-!" Nikita walked after him.

"Stay away from me! Ugh, crazy lady..." He quickly found the door and he walked out into the hallway of the apartment complex.

Coming up behind him was Nikita, who came up quickly behind him. "Dimitri! Dimitri...!"

He was successfully ignoring her while making his way through the hallway when an old lady opened her door. She spoke with a sweet voice, "Oh it's Dimitri and Nikita!"

'Calix' heard the lady, and he whipped his head around. "Jesus! How many people are in on this? Crazy people!"

"Oh dear..." the old lady was shocked.

"It's good to see you Mrs. Johnson, and I'm so sorry about him." Nikita rushed to explain to the lady. "Dimitri and I are only having a spat..."

"Oh, I see. It's good to be young, but don't take each other for granted now."

"Yes, yes... thank you." Nikita successfully appeased her, and immediately followed after 'Calix', who was now out of sight.

She ran to the elevator, and went down to the lobby. She came up to the front desk and asked, "Did Dimitri come by here?"

A man with gray hair and a newspaper answered, "Yeah, he uh- went outside."

"Thank you." She smiled at him and rushed outside. She looked around and thought he'd already vanished, but then out of the corner of her eye she saw him sitting against the building.

She sighed and walked up to him. "Hey."

He glanced up at her. "I don't know where I am."

"Oh." she nodded and sat down.

"I saw my reflection in one of the windows." He took a deep breath. "Is that really what I look like?"

Something started making sense to Nikita, but it was just too weird. "Calix? Is that what you want to be called?"

He sighed. "This is so weird."

"Yea."

"I thought I was dead for sure, but I'm alive in someone else's body." Calix claimed.

"No way..." Nikita doubted it, but she couldn't otherwise explain the different feeling she got from Calix. She stood up and put her hand out for Calix to grabbed.

He let her help him up and the two of them went back up to the apartment.
