Beautiful Mistake

Darkness

I opened the door, knowing that Liam would be there to ask what was going on. With my irritated look I looked around the corner of the door and then threw it open with a bang. Expecting that Liam would be there. "What's the matter?" My voice sounded a tone higher, annoyed but still surprised. "I just wanted to.." I heard a soft voice, a sweet voice of a girl and my look changed immediately into a surprised one. In the doorway stood a girl in a pink fluffy bathrobe, her hair in a bun and she looked with startled eyes to the door. "Oh sorry..erm.." I tight with one hand behind my head while my towel almost slipped off me and  I quickly got it up with my other hand. I blinked a few times with my eyes, hoping that this was reality and when she laughed I was sure I was not dreaming. "It's okay." She smiled, which made my heart jump. I saw the door ajar behind her, she lived in the same apartment complex as me? In my belly was that itch again, a tickle of happiness. Zeina closed her robe a little firmer, indicating that she was  getting cold. I opened the door a little, as sign that she could come in. "Come in," I smiled and held with one hand still my towel tightly. Afraid that the moment would be ruined. 

"Thanks." She smiled again and walked slowly into the room. I realized that my house was a complete mess and felt my cheeks slowly turn red. Quickly I grabbed the pile of dirty clothes of the couch. "Take a seat!" I heard softly the sound of the water from the shower, it was quiet, an awkward silence. "Shouldn't you put that erm.. off? "She pointed toward the room where steam came out, apparently I had put it something too hot." Erm yeah!" I ran quickly toward the bathroom, put the dirty clothes in the hamper, put the shower off and quickly pulled on some clothes. Just a simple dark blue sweat pants and a white shirt. I sat on the chair opposite her and looked at her, hoping that she started to say something. As I watched her, I realized how beautiful she was, even without makeup, even with her hair in a messy bun. Even when she was silent and said nothing, she was just gorgeous. I found myself staring to her for a while, so I started blinking fast with my eyes. "So erm, what brought you here?" I did not even know why I asked that, but it was better than saying nothing. "Well, I heard that someone was still awake.. because of the shower and.." She blinked her eyes and pulled her robe a little further on her legs. "So yeah I've got the problem that my light does not work in my apartment..so.." She looked at me, I did not know what it was but in some way it seemed like she had me in her power. Never had I helped any of the neighbors at this time, but for her  I'd do everything. I forgot the incident with Liam, I forgot the messages they send to each other. Zeina lived next to me and nothing could be better than that. As if everything fell into his place.

Slowly I closed the door behind me and crossed the hall to Zeina's house. I closed the door behind me making her house completely dark. I heard Zeina getting shocked and I felt a hand which grabbed my arm. Firm yet so warm. "I'm scared.." She whispered softly, in her voice you heard that she wasn't ashamed of it. It was cute, that she was suddenly here, holding my arm because of the dark which was scaring her. "It's gonna be alright, don't worry." I smiled, knowing she wouldn't see it anyway. Slowly we walked along the long corridor, with one arm around her and the other feeling around me. Hoping that we would not hurt each other. I heard her breath close to me, I heard her heart beat, it was just too good to be true. I had a feeling, the need to push her close to me and kissing her while I felt her warm body against mine. I wanted to tell her how much I liked her, how much I wanted her. I wanted her to ask me to stay and not to go to Liam. I wanted to whisper sweet words in her ear, sing to her until she fell asleep in my arms. I wanted her to be mine. But just when I wanted to tell her, the light went on again. And she immediately let go of my arm, pretending like nothing happened.
