When I met him on a rainy afternoon the air smelt like gardenias. My black oxford pumps were soaked from accidentally stepping on a puddle, and the tiny yellow umbrella I held up barely saved me from the chilly rain.
When I met him on a rainy aft...
One Cold Morning -•-•- "What are you to me?" The morning breeze asks. "A lover you've touched and passed by a countless number of times," "What am I to you?" She asks. The morning breeze smiles sadly, "My moment's worth of happy ending."
Waking up in the Noo residence is just as I initially expected it to be. It is weird. I won't lie, the first few minutes after waking up, I really miss my home. I wonder how the hell I'm in this room that doesn't have the scent of citrus my whole home carries. For the first few minutes, I miss the normality that my life had just three days ago. I miss how structured my days always were.
Then I turn around and my eyes lands on the drooling little boy snuggled beside me. When I think about it seriously, it's definitely weird. Issac is essentially a stranger. A strange kid I could pass by any day in the city — I've barely known him personally for two days, and yet there he was, asleep as comfortable as anyone could be... right beside me.
For a second I remain frozen, just watching the puffy sleeping face of the child barely an inch away in alarm. What am I doing here? What am I doing here lying to him? Pretending to be someone I clearly am not? How dare I receive the love he is so unconditionally giving me, the wrong person? An impostor?
For the first few minutes, I want to run. How could I get myself into such a mess? How can I ever explain all of this to my parents? My coworkers?
To think clearly suddenly feels like such a big burden. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know anything. So I grab the thing that makes the most sense... my phone.
It doesn't have me too surprised when I notice a text already on there.
