Cinderella

Gone. I was left all alone and he was gone.
Silently, I made my way home.
I don't know what was going on with me, I shouldn't be feeling the way I felt but I did.
Around him, I felt more relaxed even though we were only together for thirty minutes.
I couldn't help but feel guilty. I'm supposed to be with Luke but-
Suddenly my phone rang from across my room.

"Speak of the Devil" I said a little too loudly.
"What was that?"he asked, puzzled.
"Nothing-i was just thinking of you" I stammered.
"Who wouldn't?" He replied on his usual egoistic manner.
"Your ex" I stated with a false sardonic tone.
"Ouch. " he replied flatly
We both laughed.
That's what I like about Luke; he always makes me laugh.
That's why we're together.

I began to talk about my evening to break the silence.
"I went into town today" I began casually.
"Oh. Is that so? After we made it clear that you were to stay put at Abbey's place?" he began with a tone of authority.
"Well...well she had friends over and I wasn't too comfy so I went out for a long walk but didn't return" I said with as much innocence as I could muster.
"Tut tut tut. Mischievous girl. Although, Abbey was quite a lousy babysitter."
"Hah." I said flatly.
"Anyway, I got chased by freakishly large group of people! This may be a small town but it is a very active and lively one" I chuckled.
"No one saw you go home, did they?" He asked with a high level of concern.
"Nah" I answered calmly "I hid out in a cafe and made a friend"
"Well that's something. Just be careful and don't forget me"
"Yes sir. Goodnight sir" I replied in an stricken tone.
"Goodnight old. love you" he said whilst chuckling.
"Love you too Puke" I replied giggled with him.
"Bye"
"Bye"

We both stayed on the line for a while longer.
Then he had gone.

Sighing, i got ready for bed and laid wide awake as all my thoughts danced around in my head.
I couldn't get the name Pierre-roux out of my head so I thought of the same words over and over and over again until I fell asleep;
I love Luke.
I think he's cute.

When I finally could fall asleep, it felt like my all worries had gone.
Like nothing had happened.
