I woke up with the sound thunder rolling outside.. the weather is like this for a long time now. I sighed as I looked out of the window, it was dark seems like it is 9 PM I eyed the clock on the wall in front of me "7 AM" it says. I sat up and heard the pitter-patter on the window sill.
I looked around the room, it seems dark than usual. I stretched my arm above my head and removed the curtains so that some light can enter my room. And then I noticed something. I traced it with my fingers which are imprinted on my arm, the date.
The black ink appears more noticeable due to my olive skin. "Another day"- I muttered to myself and made my way to the bathroom before eyeing the calendar which has dates crossed with a red marker. I stepped into my bathroom and looked at my reflection in front of me. The brown locks compliment my olive skin, the green eyes look dull than usual. I shook my head removing thoughts from my head and complete my daily routine. After brushing my teeth I stepped in the shower and let the hot water trace my skin. Its cold outside even though it's mid of July. "Jenna!" I heard from downstairs when I step out of the bathroom. "Coming."- I replied and decided to dress up. I tried finding something relaxing to wear but then my phone buzzed. I turned around and walked where my phone is kept.
ELLA
Meet me at the café! Call me when you leave your home.
ME
See you there. :)
I smiled at the text and replied it. I decided to wear something more representable. I fished out my long sleeve tee. It was plain and white. I decided to wear blue denim with a tee. I tucked in the tee and started brushing my tangled hair.
They were long and reaches my back. They were nor curly neither straight they were somewhere in between. After pairing my getup with boots and a clutch, I looked at my reflection one more time before spending the day with Ella and locked my door behind me.
I ran downstairs and smelled pancakes. "Hey, good morning!"- I said as I reached the island, my aunt smiled at me and nodded. "Good morning."- she said I eyed her arm, the date is imprinted on her hand as-well. She looked where I was looking and chuckled. She leans in front of me with a spatula in her hand! "Don't let this affect your life"- she said smiling at me! I shook my head, she always says this every morning... I never got the meaning behind it. I mean the date is imprinted on your hand.. what do you want? Celebrate my life? But I didn't say a word and just smiled at her.
"When is the flight?"- I asked, she looked at me an emotion swims in her eyes, I looked at her with questionable look. "I don't wanna go."- she said quietly and turned her attention to pancakes, I sighed and walked around the island and got behind her and hugged her from the back. "You don't wanna go?"- I asked, she nodded,
I chuckled "you just said don't let this 'effect' you. Now you are coming into its influence."- I said keeping my chin on her shoulder. Marie sighed and turned off the stove and turned around to see me. "But-"- she started but I shushed her, "no Marie, you are going."- I said, almost telling her to debate me. She looked at me and smiled and pulled me in a hug. I melted in her arms, feeling warmth and love.
"I can take care of myself."- I said, she looked at me and nodded, she blinks back tears but before the tear could fall out of her eye she turned around. She knows I hate when she cries. "When is the flight again?"- I asked "tomorrow"- she replied. I spun around to see her, "wait wasn't it like after a week?"- I asked,
she looked everywhere but me, "it got shifted. The meeting."- she said quietly. "Okay."- I said, I took out plates from the drawer and put them on the island. Soon Marie put a pancake in my plate and then she does the same for her and soon we started eating together.
"So, you are leaving tomorrow?"- I asked she nodded. "Do you need help In packing?"- I asked she shook her head. "Do you need help?"- I asked, she nodded this time, thank god. "Can you bring me some of the items of this list?"- she asked as she handed me the list of items that are listed below, I scanned the list and nodded. "Okay"- I said smiling.. "oh And I'm going to Café to meet Ella! I'll be a little late."- I said, she nodded and smiled.
"Dinner?"- she asked as I stood up from the stool and walked around to the dishwasher. "Together."- I said smiling at her. She grinned, "I'll make something."- she said, I agreed and kissed her on the cheek, "I love you"- I muttered, "I love you more."- she replied, I smiled and said, "not possible."
She grinned at me. I gave her a quick bye and stepped out of the building I called my home, I looked at the cloudy sky, it can rain anytime, I stepped in the house again "I'm taking the umbrella!"- I yelled, I heard a faint' Okay' from inside, keeping umbrella in my other hand and clutch in another I started walking wondering what today holds.
