Shielded

Reaching the main door, I was holding the umbrella with my right hand and positioned myself in a way that I was ready to hit the one on the other side of the door if in case the person was a creep. With my left hand, I turned the knob and slowly opened the door.

"Sa...."

The umbrella dropped on the floor.

"Julius!" I exclaimed and jumped at him, giving him a bear tight hug. His signature, lemongrass smell engulfed me. I felt like I was finally home.

"I missed you" I mumbled against his shoulder and sniffled. Finally he was home after so long.
