The Couple

Celia

I haven’t slept well all night, after waking up 4 in the morning I couldn’t get back to sleep. I finally got out of bed around 6 and headed to kitchen to make a strong coffee for me. I decided to start my day early today.

My dorm is a mess right now, I have to get it back in shape although going to live here for just one more week.

Never gonna have another party at my place ever. Cleaning this mess alone will take me the whole day and I have to reach the airport before 2o’clock, I can’t miss the last chance to see George since I don’t know when I will see him next.

I called Jeanne to know when she will be here to help me or is she going to ditch me for her mysterious boyfriend. She told me he will be here to get us back and finally I will get to meet him.

She picked up the call on third ring with a groan, I assume I disturbed something since she is always awake by this time, with this thought I couldn’t hold back my giggle and she grunted, ”What do you want at this early, vampire?”. I had a full laugh this time. She was definitely in middle of something.

“Not sorry if I disturbed you, get out of your boy’s pants and bring your ass here. I have to clean this mess and then get ready to leave for airport and all this has to happen before 2o’clock”, I said while sipping my coffee and giving my head a massage.

My head is spinning like a wheel, first that alcohol and then those hot dreams with that hunk. Thinking this I grunted and heard a grunt from the other side as well. We both started laughing and she told me she will be here in an hour and will help with everything.

I smiled telling her she is the best and I am waiting so she should be here in an hour and dropped the call. I finished my coffee and went to take a long hot water bath, I am really in need of it and have to relax before moving and start working at Fieldson Construction Company.

I went in bathroom grabbing my creamy tank top and white shorts on the way. Filled the tub with hot water and got ready for it.

It relaxed me, hot water was working on my nerves and I got floated to my dream land soon again where I was dreaming of George in Cooperstown with our two kids playing around.

I really wish for that dream to come true but I know George will never move to that town. He always wished of having his own company and a villa with two amazing kids and a beautiful wife. He asked me to come with him but I refused since my plans are different from his. Sometimes, I wonder how we even got together.

We mutually decided to have this break up. About 1800 miles apart won't work fine with us. Him in Texas and me in Cooperstown, both get annoyed by distance and jealous of each other's friends, no it will never work with us. And adjusting for other’s plans won’t work good for us either, neither of us will be happy.

I got out of the bath and started drying my hair and I don’t like my wet hair, blonde wet hairs look worse. I was almost done when the doorbell rang. She is always on time when I need her.
