Baby Blues

10. Movies and Silly pagers

I got on a bus and decided to walk the rest of the way. The house was quiet when I got there so I changed into something loose and comfortable. The boredom was killing me so I decided to bake some muffins. When I was done I sat down on the couch to watch some TV.

I looked outside the window and the sun was still up, it wouldn't be long before it set. I always found it intriguing how the sun would set on one part of the world and rise on another, how time was different in different parts of the world, how it could snow on one part and rain on another. The world itself was so fascinating on its own and it kind of helped me relate to life with its various opportunities, while one man falls another rises and I couldn't help but wonder what the rest of the year held for me.

As the weeks went by my assignments started to increase and the lecturers had no mercy when it came to tests. I talked to Richard after I had noticed that he was avoiding me and I apologised. He only accepted by apology after I took him to the cafe and bought him breakfast. I didn't like having one of my close friends being mad at me, it just felt so wrong and weird besides even I wound have been upset if I found out that my friend had kept her relationship hidden from me.

Kevin and I would meet up whenever we were free and he didn't have to work at the hospital which was rare by the way. He was busy applying for his residency and matching or whatever it is they did in med school, the whole thing just sounded complicated to me. He would try to explain but I would zone out and nod my head once his mouth stopped moving.

We had plans to meet up later on during the day when he got off from work and I was looking forward to it. I had become accustomed to seeing his face and having long sometimes boring conversations with him that I would smile just by seeing his name pop up on my screen.

We decided to go for a movie and have dinner afterwards, nothing fancy though because he would be coming directly from work.

I got to the movie theatre early and bought the tickets since the movie was kind of new and I didn't want it to sell out. I bought a smoothie and sat at one of the booths while I waited.

He sent me a text saying he was on his way and I smiled knowing that he wouldn't be late. I was scrolling through my phone when someone joined me. I looked up and saw an attractive looking mocha skinned guy sitting right opposite

"Hey"

"Hello" I smiled...swoon he had a British accent

"You look bored"

"Just waiting for someone, he will be here soon"

"Oh...ok...mind if I keep you company while you wait?"

Frankly I would have preferred to sit alone but the guy seemed chilled out

Honestly there was never a dull moment plus I just loved listening to him talk. I was laughing more than half of the time and he never said anything unnecessary. I found out that his name was Henry and honestly thanks to him waiting for Kevin didn't seem like a long time. He was asking me a question when I heard someone clear his throat. I turned to see Kevin standing by the booth with a not so happy facial expression.

"Kevin" I smiled "meet Henry and Henry this is my boyfriend Kevin"

"Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too" he said though his face said the opposite

"Hope you don't mind my keeping your girlfriend company, anyways Bridget it was nice talking to you"

"It was nice talking to you too Henry and thanks"
