Lewis's dad and my dad have planned a trip for all of us to go to our house in another town where people usually go for vacays. We got a beautiful glass house there. It is an annual mandatory trip that we do. I remember when I was younger I used to get so excited in hopes of spending time with Lewis.
Last two trips have been a disappointment since he did not come. I wonder if he is coming for this one.
It was my brother's birthday yesterday. So he was kinda busy planning his surprise party and all with his other friends. Today, he did not show up at the office. He did send me one text saying he won't be able to make it and that was it. Technically, its been two days since I last talked to him. I miss him. Work was hectic as fuck as he was not around. I cannot believe I attended two meetings on his behalf. I finally feel, I might be heading towards something. We all have decided to reach by 10. So, tomorrow, we are starting our journey early in the morning.
Its 1 am, I am staring at his chat thinking of whether should I text or no. What should I even text him. A hi maybe or I should tell him something about work. The phone drops from my hand as it starts to ring. I get little startled cause of the sudden noise in absolute 1 am silence. I check to see who it is calling me, uh ho, LEWIS. I pick up,
"Hello?"
"Rach? Rachel?", he says stammering.
"Lewis? Are you alright?", I hear a huge sigh of relief.
"I am fineeee! I miss you.", as much as I feel so happy to hear that, I got a feeling something is wrong.
"I miss you too but what is up with you? Are you okay Lewis?"
"I-I cannot sleep Rachel."
"Yeah? Why Lewis, is everything fine?"
"Just I don't know. I don't know why I am calling you, I have never called up anyone. I always deal with things myself. But shit I am not feeling well." I can hear him panting through the phone. Fuck I am scared as shit right now.
"Lewis, Lewis listen to me, calm down. Just breathe in and out. You don't have to sleep, forget sleeping, just listen to me and inhale, exhale with me. Think about me." he does what I say the next five minutes. I feel like he is all cooled down now at least better than before.
"Rachel, the night you slept in. It was the best sleep I have gotten since two years."
"really Lewis? Two years? I always knew there was something off because your eyes looked dull. But two years is long."
"yeah, you were right. I really want you next to me. That's why I called you. You somehow make me feel alright Rachel. I don't know what else to say."
"how I wish I could be. If you don't mind, may I ask what happened or why it happens?"
"for now lets just say, Fear."
"ohh okayyy."
"I really miss you. The last time I talked to you was two days back.", I smile at the thought that he felt it to.
"yes, but aren't we meeting tomorrow. You coming right.", I ask slyly waiting for a yes. There is a long pause. I couldn't possibly get more anxious.
"I will come.", I grin as wide as I can.
"I am glad."
"I am literally coming to meet you.", I hear him chuckle.
"oh.", hello, same here! Since quite a few years now!
"are you excited to see me?"
"yes obviously I am."
"you don't seem like it."
"what do you mean?", I say chuckling. I really don't know what to say. At times, I am horrible at expressing myself.
"just I am literally so excited. You are coming in my car, I will come at your house.", Mr. Commanding is back.
"oh you don't have to."
"I insist."
"My dad wont let me come with you. He loves to travel with me and so do I."
"I will convince him." I am sure you will.
"what about me?"
"what about you?"
"what if I want to travel with dad and not you."
"then I will convince you too.", he says casually.
"So persuasive.", I scoff
"haven't even begun.", he laughs.
"ha ha ha", I fake laugh. Asshole.
We actually spoke a lot. My eyes are watery cause of all the laughing. There were times, where I felt my intellect is so low compared to his. Ugh. Hate to feel that. To top it all off, he will rub it in your face. Annoying. Then, he behaves really sweetly so yay. Makes everything shine. God, I loved talking to him. And God it felt so great to hear his voice. Ahhh. I am going to get the best sleep now. I hope so does he. I cannot wait for tomorrow!
