Chapter 8
When Joanna walks in the door all I could really do was smile, a big ball of happiness hit me, I don't know quite why. But somehow it was happiness with a touch of sadness, tears almost came to my eyes, but I held them back. Ever since I was a child I always hated to cry, somehow, it was so painful. I put down the kitten and she walks over to him, and then sits down and dies herself off. He squats down and puts her, he looks up and then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.
" She's cute, what's her name?" He asks, then he stands back up leaning on the wall.
" Well, I don't really know, I just found her outside a few minutes ago. But, she just followed me inside. And here we are..." I say as I squat down, and she walks towards me again.
" Is that right... How about... Donna?" He says.
" She doesn't really look like a Donna... How about Kierra or Darcey?" I say looking back at his and we laugh those names off. Then there was a moment of silence, then a name came to mind.
" Sky Celeste..." We say at the same time, we look at each other in surprise. We both smile, agreeing with the name. But just after we choose a name, if felt as if we got closer, but was that a good thing?
" Hiya, Sky..." He says to her and she meows as if she's saying hi back. " Oh, it looks like your cleaning. Did, I call at a bad time..?" He asks and scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.
" No, it... it kinda made my day. My mom went to rehab and I didn't know what else to do so I started cleaning. I say as I pet Sky with a smile until I remember him calling me. "Oh! I forgot you called me, was there something you were going to say?"
" Uhh... nothing in particular, just checking up on you. Oh, yeah when are you starting your job again?" He says like he was ignoring my question, but I guess it's okay.
" Well, uhh... I don't remember let me check, follow me." I say grabbing his hand and drag him into my room and I grab my calendar. My room to me is extremely valuable plainly because it is mine and it is the way I like it to be. There are so many of my possessions that make it mine and that make it unique and special to me. I would most certainly, not like it any other way.
As you enter my room, you see light teal walls. You can see and feel the sun shining through my window. My comforter is a silky metallic teal that is extremely thick, soft, and warm with many pillows that are the same tone as the comforter.He walks over to my installed bookcase and looks at my use huge collection of books as I look at my calendar.
" You have a nice room, it's the first time I've been in a girls room...." He says as he picks up a book of my favorite collection.
" Really? And uhh sorry for dragging you in here just to look at my calendar. But, I'll be starting in a few days." I say plopping down on my bed as Sky comes in the room with a small meow. "Are you gonna get a job?"
" I think so, but I don't know where yet." He answers, looking at him looking out the window, he seems distant, like he has some else on his mind, all I do is nod my head. Maybe asking that question' was a bad idea, a few minutes ago he was really happy. Sky was rubbing herself aginst his leg, that's when our eyes met again, that's what I get for staring for too long. My heart started to throb, I left as if it would leap out of my chest. I quickly look away, and he did the same. Now, this is embarrassing, not knowing what to say.
" I actually called you to apologize for the other day, for kissing you..." He says as he bends down to pet Sky, I don't know what else to say, he apologized but I don't want him to. I bring my fingers to my lips, remembering he his lips tasted like. Then remembering, my feelings for him, the first time met him and how I felt about him when he started dating her.
" I should be the one apologizing..." Said staring into space, not really understanding what I'm saying. " I didn't really mind, you were upset and stuff..." Then I just started rambling, I do that when I'm nervous, then he came up to me lifting my chin, once again our eyes met.
"It's not okay, I used and hurt you..." He says coming towards me, he just broke up with someone, I don't wanna just be the comfort him. "I... I'm sorry... I should go..." He says turning towards the door.
" No, don't go. I don't want a distance between us... It's not fair to either of us. But at the moment... can we just be friends?" I ask grabbing the hem of his sleeve, looking down to the grown. I really don't know what to do anymore with him... Should I tell him this...?
" I want you, and I don't want to distance ourselves either. But, I'm confused on what I'm going to have to do to make you want me too..." He says looking back to me. " I was impatient, and all I want is you, and I hope you understand where I'm coming from..." He smiles, I guess I am confused...
