Being isolated in this house blocked away any noise from outside. My thoughts piled on me causing a weight on me, not wanting to get out of bed I just thought about this particular person.

did he mean to do that? or am I overthinking? I don't wanna think of it too much but it's so overbearing.
I've liked him for years and these feelings are so hard to ignore.

as I'm deep in my thoughts I hear a knock on the front door wondering who it could be, knowing I don't have any plans, I creep downstairs and open the door.

before I could speak. "hey girl."
"hi madi how are you" I say smiling.
"how was your day?" I see her looking at me with excitement.
"interesting" I say rolling my eyes.
"you're still thinking about him?!!!!" she says widening her eyes.
"nooo shut up!" I say as we both laugh.

they both head up stairs talking about what happened between her and the boy she can't seem to stop thinking about.

Kiyomi has liked Chris for more than 3 years.

Ever since 6th grade of middle school she always had love for him and poetry. Leading up to her writing about him in high school especially at nights that seem to be endless, nights where she couldn't go to sleep.

He is now a publisher as a poet working in the same field as Kiyomi.

She sees him everyday and is yet to talk to him again but explaining what happened earlier between the two, her feelings have evidently grown.

"do you still write about him?" Madison asks,
I hesitate knowing it's been a while.

"no I don't anymore but I feel if I don't start back imma do something I will regret"
she looks at Madison in a way that makes her understand.

"don't." Madison says starting to laugh causing them to laugh in unison.

after a moment of silence "can I sleepover?" she asks.
"sure, I have some spare clothes that you can wear to bed" I say walking towards the bed.

"Okay thanks kiy" she says softly smiling.

they both freshen up, they decide to watch a movie together eventually drifting off to sleep.

It's 7:24 in the morning looking at the time. "holy shit I'm gonna be late for work."

I jump out of bed quickly waking up Madison.
I get ready brushing my teeth, doing my makeup and throwing on some clothes.

After posting, I got ready to go out quickly getting breakfast ready realizing I don't have enough time to eat,
"Madison I'm leaving!!"

I quickly grab my keys, jacket and food and head outside to the car.
Moments go by and I'm almost there at a red light when I remember I forgot the one thing that I came here for, my laptop.

I sigh in relief remembering they have spare laptops. after a little bit I finally arrive.
I grab my things going up to the door entering the building only 3 minutes late.
I check in, and grab out a spare laptop on the corner racket.
I make a way to my desk, spotting him, he looks at me but I turned away.

I make eye contact with the girl sitting across from me.
the girl I've always written about.
her hazel eyes and pretty hair, the way she looks from this view it's hard to not stare.

I'm staring at her aren't I? I think to myself as I snapped outta my thoughts.
I look over at the coffee stand that sits across the room, heading over to the coffee stand until I hear a soft voice.
"excuse me??" I look over at the girl stopping in my tracks.
she is so pretty. "yes?"
I ask in confusion with the acknowledgement that we never conversed in the field.
"can I get a coffee?"
I look over at the stand and lightly smile, "of course, do you want sugar?"

his smile is so pretty, almost like when a kaleidoscopic diamond intersects a hue of stars.
"yes, thank you."
this is easier than I expected. "here you go"
I look up as the boy hands me the cup of warm coffee and gently smiles.
"I'm chris" he looks at her admiring every aspect of her face.
"hi, I'm kiyomi." we are interrupted.
"are you two working? I don't pay you two to flirt." The coworker scolds.
we look at each other sheepishly as chris heads back to his seat.
I look up at the boy softly smiling, him doing the same in return, we get back to work.

It was crazy to hear him introduce himself as he didn't already know me.

I've been scared to approach her again for a year straight, we finally spoke to each other. Was it right to approach it again as an opportunity, like we're meeting again? Almost like we never even met?

I can't help but to marvel at her beauty that transcends the light that engulfs the view, her voice sounding like waves capable of calming a storm. her eyes have a reflection of millions of stars, thousand of galaxies that have a never ending stream of energy.
I snap back to my thoughts once again remembering the project I was working on, stupidly not taking my eyes off the girl.

I have never been so happy in my life.
It really seems like I wasn't thinking about nothing after all.
He really was looking at me.
I try not to think too much considering I just met him, looking years back I fell in love with his soul and everything that came with it, it just wasn't the right frame in time.
He was popular, I was shy which made me become complacent with us never being together and this is right timing. High school was full of memories with Chris but we never thought about dating each other. I still wonder why because after all this time I still feel the same way.

looking at the clock, I gather my thoughts and get ready to head out with the rest of the workers when I hear a familiar voice.
"hey you forgot something"
I look up at the boy speaking, him handing my keys to me.
"no telling how you were gonna get home" he says smiling.
"oh my god thank you" I say embarrassingly looking away. "did you go to steerborne high?" He asks.
"Yes" I answer realizing what was happening.
"Omg I used to have the biggest crush on you in 11th grade, I knew I recognized you"
"What?" I look at him with a confused look "lunch, we used to sit together, the dance. I knew your sister, Aliza.. you remember right? We stopped talking. It has been a while Kiyomi." I smile at him "it has."
