Apollo 

CHAPTER 8

CLARISSA’S POV.

I tried to calm myself down but I couldn’t,  I didn’t understand what to do as I placed my hand on my chest. I licked my dry lips as I peeked over the window to see whether he was still there and I noticed his car was still there which made my heart race even more, “Calm down!” I said to myself as I tried to take a deep breath in my mouth and control myself. I turned around and searched for my cell phone, but I don’t see it anywhere in my room.

“Calm down, You need to calm down!” I tried to control my unstable breathing and my shaking body, I looked around and still nothing I found which could be helpful to me. I glanced at my bed and noticed my bag under the blanket, I immediately walked towards it and pulled the blanket off and took my phone from my handbag. He was the same person who left the card in the cafe for us. 

With my shaking hands, I dialled Lydia’s number and was about to call her but I stopped myself. What am I doing? She might be sleeping right now. This is not a good idea, telling her will not solve this problem. 

I stepped towards the window with my phone in my hands while controlling myself not to panic, I peeped through the window and didn’t find the car anymore in its previous place. It confused me, where did it go? The question popped into my mind as I looked around to see whether it’s somewhere. I released my breath when I didn’t find it anywhere, “Maybe he left!” I mumbled as I turned around and walked towards my bathroom. I took a shower and changed my clothes to my pajamas, I combed my hair and walked downstairs. 

While I walked downstairs, I noticed my mom smiling while looking at her phone in her hands, I watched her as she began typing something on her phone while smiling warmly. I walked down the stairs quietly while watching her type something while a sudden blush appeared on her face. It is rare to see her like this after what my father years back and somehow her reaction has raised hope. Hope that she might find love again and move on with her life without any worries!

I cleared my throat as I sat down on my chair and I successfully gained my mom’s attention. Noticing me, she immediately put her phone down and smiled at me while blushing that I caught her chatting with someone, I tried not to laugh and ask her about it, she needs time and I know she will tell me herself about it. 

“Let me serve you,” she said and began serving me dinner, I quietly watched her and kept quiet. This dinner was surprisingly tranquil, and I tried to open up a conversation to reduce this tranquillity, so I began telling her about my stressful long day and I was successful in it while mom began talking about her day. 

It was good listening to her talk about her day, it always makes me happy to see her smiling and beaming with happiness in her eyes. I love this side of mom, I always wanted her to be this happy. I don’t know who made the day good but I would like that person to stay in her life and make her happy like this forever. 

After dinner, we walked back to our rooms as we cleaned the kitchen and table. 

“Good night, mom,” I said while walking to my room,

“Good night, sweety,” she said while turning back and walking to her room, I smiled and stepped inside my bedroom and closed the door behind.

I walked towards my bed and fell flat on my soft mattress while I closed my eyes and slowly began falling into my deep slumber.

ALARM ****

I offed the annoying alarm clock and groaned while getting up from my bed, I rubbed my eyes while yawning and walked towards my washroom. I can hear my mom moving dishes and I can hear her cooking something in the kitchen as I was walking to my washroom. I brushed my teeth and took a cold shower, wrapping my favorite white fluffy towel around my body. I walked out of my washroom and walked straight into my walk-in closet. I got dressed in my baby pink deep V-neck pencil dress cinched at the waist with a statement belt and combed my hair while applying some makeup to my face. I looked at my reflection and smiled when I felt I looked good.
