You became my everything

Chapter 12

For more than two months now, Bora and I have been actively communicating. We often saw each other, we met even more often, and with Gahyeon we were generally inseparable. I saw that she was really attached to me. As I am with her. And it was so sincere that I even thought that, probably, I would have turned out to be quite a tolerable mother.

It was more difficult with Bora In the sense that with her we also became attached to each other again. I saw it in the girl herself and I felt the same. We have never raised the topic of "us". Not a single phrase mentioned this. I always wanted to ask two questions - why and whether it was worth it. What was in her head remained a mystery to me.

If then, six years ago, I was ready to collapse, to bring at least clarity, now I was just "floating with the flow" I did not show initiative, did not hint at anything, did not try to push her to something. I was just there, I didn't interfere, I watched.

Almost all of our meetings took place in three. Bora and I were rarely alone. Maybe for the best, because when we were together, the tension between us could be cut with a knife. Many unsaid words, unspoken emotions. I knew that someday this conversation should take place. But I refused to make a decision about exactly when it will happen.

She called as always in the evening, it was Saturday, and I was surprisingly at home. Minjii fell ill and our weekend together fell through. Minji seemed to have gotten used to the idea that there is Bora again in my life. She was reassured by the fact that even though Bora was, there was nothing between us.

- Hello! - Bora's cheerful voice made me smile.

- Hello.

- What are you doing? Busy with something?

- No. I wanted to meet with a friend, but she got sick.

- Oh, sorry. But I have a suggestion. You want to hear it?

- Of course, go ahead.

- I did a general cleaning today, - Bora began and made a pause.

- Cleaning. So what? You haven't finished it and you want me to help you?

- No no no. I found a collection of discs and a dvd player! Can you imagine ?!

- Oh cool. Now there will be something to do in the evenings while Gahyeon is with her grandmother.

- Yes. Exactly. There are several Avengers films. And I thought ... So, would you like to join?

- Avengers? I love Avengers. So with pleasure.

- Well! Then on me is food,on you drinks. You know what I love.

- Yes, I know," I chuckled, "okay. I will be soon. Don't try to start without me.

- Well ... Only if the first couple of scenes ...

- Hey! - I said menacingly.

- Okay I will not. I'm waiting.

I turned off the call. How does she do it? A couple of minutes and I was already on my way somewhere, although I thought that I would lie at home like a dry log. Wow.

We watched the second film. During this time, we ate delicious pasta, Bora mastered half a bottle of wine, and I drank 2 glasses of beer.

When the credits flashed on the screen, we were sitting on the couch. Bora's head was on my shoulder, and she herself leaned a little on me. I tried to pretend that everything was fine, although there was a slight anxiety. I pressed pause and straightened slightly, clearing my throat.
