Forevermore (On Hold)

4. Sunday Morning

Chapter 3

"Tomorrow?" He offers. "With me, where you want to be."

Aiden's father is one of the USA's ministers. His father moved to Washington DC because of his career. His mother? Well, I haven't asked anything about it since he hasn't brought up any topic about his mother. I don't want to make him offended in case something happened with his mother.

We get to know to each other during the night and drive back home when the clock hits 11PM. We exchange our phone's number at the end of the ride.

"Thank you," I say as I wave at him cheerfully. "For the treat,"

"It's okay, but you owe me a lunch!" He shouts as he turns off his car's engine.

"Fine," I try to sound not pleased.

"Tomorrow?" He offers. "With me, where you want to be."

"Sounds cool," I flash a smile. "Good night,"

"Night," he shouts as I turn around and take the elevator to the 19th floor.

I turn on the light when I get into my room. The black and white wallpaper matches the view in the window which is white of snow.

I slip the flat shoes off my feet and march to my bedroom. I flick the light switch on and go straight to the wardrobe.

I haven't really paid much attention to this section of the apartment.

I check each space and shelf I could find then let out a sigh. Realizing it's still empty which means I haven't unpacked anything, yet. But it's midnight and I'm so tired. I talk to myself, even though I'm just too lazy to do it.

I take a hot shower after looking around cluelessly for my shampoo then find it exactly inside the bathroom when I left it this morning.

The hot water starts to pour and flow over my whole body. It's heat is inciting and taking off all the cold left. It smells just like typical hotel's waters. I brush off my back at the end of the shower and get cleaned. I wrap myself with a sky-blue towel when I get out, thinking to myself, what a fantastic shower.

Trying to find something to wear, I unzip my suitcase. I finally find one after messing the whole clothes inside.
I put it on in front of the mirror on the bathroom then hang the towel to let it dry.

My dirty clothes are lying on the floor hopelessly, perhaps trying to scream, please wash us. Or not. I'm about to put them inside a laundry bag when I spot something vibrating inside my clothes. My phone, gosh. Thanks God, or else I'll get my phone washed. I take it out from the jeans' pocket and then unlock it.

"Aiden?"

And I click send.

I put down my phone and start cleaning up the mess. Done cleaning up, I put the laundry bag outside my door.

Beep.

I run to my phone immediately and unlock the screen.
