i had forgotten all about the little incident that had occured at the park weeks ago, albeit having taken quite a liking to lei.

i inhaled as i awaited a reply from the unknown number, and whenever i heard a quiet ding! come from my phone, i quickly opened the message.

have asked who you

why she had just disappeared like that was beyond me. i know one thing though, time sure went by slowly as i waited for her to reply.

i stared at my phone for a few minutes, waiting for the "sent ✓ " to change to "seen."

i finally set my phone down on the coffee table placed in front of me, turning it onto its screen as i pushed myself to my feet.

i walked over to the kitchen in my apartment and swung the refrigerator door open, my eyes darting from food item to food item. i pulled a tray of fruit from the top shelf and tossed it gently onto the table placed in the middle of the kitchen.

i moved from the fridge and near the sink, pulling at a drawer and grabbing a silver fork.

ding!

the notification from my phone frightened me and i jumped slightly. i ran past the kitchen doorway and back over to my phone, hoping it was lei who i had received a notification from.

i parted my lips and placed my fork on my tongue, closing my lips around it as i grabbed my phone and opened the message.

lei

yeah, i would love
to meet up! would
today be okay for
you? i'm really bo
red.

like, deadass, i've
been awake for, li
ke 3 hours and i h
aven't moved from
my bed.
