1436 Words
"You know I've missed you guys a lot, after you guys left, I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life with Easton but unfortunately I had to let him go or he would have been with you guys now and I would have been all alone. I don't know where you are Easton but I will wait for you to come back for me. I know you are still alive"I said crying and holding onto my parents photo and Easton's clothes. Just then I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in " I say.
" Good morning ma'am " he greeted politely.
" Good morning to you Champ. How was your night? " I asked with a warm smile.
" Were you crying ma'am? "he asked with a worried face.
" No, I'm not crying. No no, I'm not crying" I respond wiping my tears. I actually forgot I had tears on my face.
"But there was tears on your face just now? " he said raising a brow as if telling me that I was lying. I had no option but accept it.
" I can't lie, can I? "I asked smiling.
" No you can't. But sorry to pry into your personal life but I'm curious about what is making you cry? "he asked out of concern.
"I'm missing my parents and my....." I pause. What if I was no longer Easton's love? What if he found someone else who caught his fancy? What if he had moved on? So many bad thoughts crossed my mind. "No no Easton will never leave me. He promised that he will come back for me"I reassured my self.
" Your....??? " he asked looking confused.
" What? "I asked snapping back to reality.
"Your what??" he asked again.
"Oh it was my boyfriend. His parents were murdered and the killers wanted to kill and I saved him and we fell in love with each other after some time and then when we confessed our feelings to each other and accepted each other. But that same day around 7pm I found out that my mom was killed and my dad died in a bus accident while rushing back home that night. I was so devastated that I couldn't cry. So I went to my playhouse because that was where I had been hiding him. We were together for a while. He comforted me but that moment lasted only for a few minutes before it was crushed by the same group of bandits who wanted to kill him..... " I paused to wipe my tears.
" What happened then? " he asked, his tone now softened.
" They came there to demand that I hand him over to them. I refused and found a way to take him out of there. We ran and ran and ran. When we got tired, I suggested that he hides then, I will distract the men and take them from there and after a while, he would run away from there. He did not agree at first because he was concerned about my safety but after convincing him that I'm going to run to my neighbors and those men won't be able to do anything, he would not leave. After much convincing, he still didn't budge. I had to push him and run away before he was able to leave but before he left, we shared a brief kiss and a few promises and that was how I ended up lonely "I explained unending tears streaming down my face.
" I'm so sorry for your loss" he said sympathizing with me.
"No problem, you don't have to be sorry " I explained.
"I must say that your boyfriend has a very similar history to mine" he said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"What is your history? " I ask out of curiosity but I regret it a few seconds later.
" Umm.. I.. " he stuttered. I saw him squeezing his palm, showing a sign of tension. He was sweating heavily and his breath was getting heavier. I could see him fighting back his tears but ended up defeated. The tears began flowing non stop.
" I should not have asked? I'm so sorry for asking " I apologized.
" You don't need to. I don't just know why I just can't talk about it " he says wiping his tears but it still rushes. Well at least his breath came back to normal.
" You don't have to bother. It was the same with me. You are lucky you are actually crying, when I lost everything I couldn't feel any emotions. I turned cold and slowly started becoming mad. And went into depression and the story is so long "I said smiling.
" Sorry, I'm so sorry" he apologized.
"You don't have to apologize " I replied.
" Yeah, it's true. I didn't get your name. What is your name? "I ask.
" Oh, my name is Dylan " he answered with a cute smile.
" Oh, I'm Lucia Blackwood. Dylan can't be your only name right? Your surname? "I ask.
" Oh, about that, it's Dylan Robinson " he replied.
" Your name and your eyes are actually strikingly familiar. They very very familiar though I can't place my mind and my subconscious on either where I have heard your name or where I have happened to see your eyes " I say.
" Well, I must say many people have the same name and many people have the same color of eyeballs, coincidentally, right? " he asked. Maybe he is right.
" Okay, maybe you are right "I agree with him.
" Sorry, I've not prepared breakfast yet " I apologized,stepping out of my bed to prepare breakfast for the both of us.
" Don't worry ma'am, I prepared Breakfast already" he said with a warm smile.
"What??!! " I exclaimed
" Yes ma'am, I actually came up to call you down for breakfast " he answer.
" Wow!! OK so let's go "I said excitedly running downstairs to see what he prepared. As I got to the dinning table, he had already set the table. I'm so excited to see what he prepared. And when I saw the menu, it happened to be the breakfast I have been craving for days.
" Wow!! Toasted bread and scrambled eggs with tea" I yell with no expression trying to process if this was a dream or not.
"Don't you like it? I can make you something else if.... " he proposed.
" Are you crazy?" I ask.
"No??!!" he answered.
"No I didn't mean it that but this is what I have been craving for so long " I scream, grabbing his hand and spinning. We both laugh.
" I didn't know you will like it this much ma'am? " he said admiring my movements. I was so excited that I was jumping around even on the couch.
" Actually, I can't cook and nobody has ever volunteered to cook for me "I said as I sat down to eat.
"Oh, so you have no friends?" he asks.
"Sadly I don't have any friends. But I think I have one now "I said smiling.
"If I'm allowed to ask who is your new friend?" he asks curiosity getting the better of him.
"You!!!! " I exclaim.
" Oh, so cute. Thanks ma'am "
" What? "I ask.
" I mean your reaction, it's so cute ma'am" he says.
"Oh, OK. So friends? "I ask extending my hands for a hand shake.
" Okay, friends!!! " he replied accepting my extended hands.
" Okay Dylan can I ask you for a favor as a friend? Will you do it? "I ask
" Oh, well it depends on what the favor is about. If it is something I can do then I will do it but if it is something I can't then I'm sorry I won't be able to do it " he says.
" Of course it is something you can do " I reply.
" Okay so what is it? "he asks looking up from his food.
" Can you stop calling me ma'am. It makes me feel like I am very old " I tell him.
" Umm.. Okay, what do you want me to call you then? " he asks.
" Just call me Lucia, okay? "
" Okay. Eat up Lucia" he says.
"See that sounds better "I reply.
" I guess so "he agrees and we continue eating.
