So, we're up and about now. You're softly humming a song and drumming on the counter and egg cartons.
"Don't drum on the stove, Eo," I tell you.
"That would suck," u laugh, enchanting my ears.
"And hurt,"
u agree and flip the French Toast. I ask if u want any help. u say that you've got it, and I nod and say 'kay.
You're so cute. You're glowing, like when u do when you're around children, animals, muziek of dancing. When you're yourself. Playing a game, just... Amazing.
I sense u about to turn around, so I mess with the bowl of fruit on the table. I don't want u to catch me staring... That'd be odd!
"Have any dreams?" u ask. Your voice sounds like your facing me.
I blush. I'm not gonna tell u about the dream. It's... Just no... "Not that I remember."
"Liar," u laugh. "I know you."
"What dreams did you have?" I turn the answer onto you.
"New song and dance," u say. "Now, your dream?" u have that tell... me... the... secret look and tone of voice.
"What was the song?"
"Next week!" u Smile. "Dream of no French toast!"
"Damn you," I stick my tongue out.
u ruffle my hair. I blush and fix it. "It was about the guy I like..." Truth.
"And? Who is this guy?"
"I... I can't tell ya..."
"I wanna make sure he's right for you."
"You would approve," I give u a thumbs up.
"How old is he?"
"You sound like my dad..."I roll my eyes. "Age is just a number, that's it. It's not important..."
"Older than 18?" u ask, eyebrow raised.
What of u put things together and find out it's you? I feel tears well up in my eyes.
"Hey," u say, gently lifting my chin up with your finger. Your eyes are gentle and caring... Like u understand. I try to look away cuz u can read me like a book. "Look at me, Adds..." I can't help but Cry. "Love is blind... But... Are u sure he's the one?"
"I-I-I..." u come over and hold me in your warm, caring eyes. "I Love him so much..." I was so close to saying you.
"I don't want him to do anything innaproprate to you..."
"He wouldn't... I... I just don't know if he feels like I do..."
"Tell me about him... I'll talk to him." You'd be having a conversation with yourself.
I know you're trying to do good, but I just Cry harder. It's you. That's all I want to say. So Badly. So much. It hurts. I clutch onto u like you're the only thing in the world. Because to me u are. I want to be with u so much... Yo wipe my eyes and gently rock me, whispering all the right things. Then u kiss my tear-stained cheek. "Whatever Happens, Addiline, I'll always love you... meer than the sun and the stars. meer than anyone. Even meer than Diana! But don't tell her I zei that."
I chuckle. But my hart-, hart is pounding, fluttering. Butterflies are invading my stomach.
Your Love for Diana is stong, but u zei u Love me more. u hold me close. u gently say me me how I feel towards you. How you're Happier when I'm around and sadder when I'm not. "And I want u to know, if anyone hurts u , it'll be their ass."
"Michael..." I manage. "You know all those things u said?"
"Those things that I meant every word about?" u ask, moving my hair from my face.
I nod, sniffing. "I... I feel the same way..."
15 and 28... That maybe 13 years, but who cares?
u hold me close. I hug u tight. A giant weight has been lifted... "I Love u so much..." I murmur. "I just... wish we were closer in age, so it wouldn't be weird for the family..."
"I know..." Your voice is shakey with emotion. u tremble. I don't want u to tremble, so I hold u even tighter. "Three years..." u but your lips to my cheek. Shivers. "But, I'm so Happy u Love me the way I Love you. I could care less about what anybody else thinks.
So, now we're watching TV. I'm cuddled in your arms. Safe, warm, loved. I kiss your hand and u Smile. I tell u how beautiful your Smiles are. u blush, thank me, and then compliment mine.
The phone rings, and u reluctantly go pick it up.
"Hello?" u say. ... Then u get this saddened look on your face. "I'm so sorry... Do u wanna talk to A-"
I get up, worried. What happened? I mouth, hart-, hart getting that holy-sh!t-what-happened?! panicky feeling. u point to the phone. i nod.
"... Yes ma'am, I will." You're so polite! "Wait- No, no ma'am!" u even sound polite in your WTFNO! voice. "I mean... No, it's not that, it's just..." This sounds awkward. What is she saying?! "I never zei that..."
I take the phone away. "Mom! What the stuff?!"
She antwoorden in an odd tone, that sounds really familiar. "Honey, give the phone back to Michael..."
"Methinks you're makin him feel weird. What happened?" u inpakken, wrap your arms around me, gently stroking my hair and giving me Butterflies.
Mom's silent for a moment. "I'll tell u when I come to pick u up."
"Mom, please?" I ask.
"No." She says firmly. "Give the phone back to Michael.
"Don't make him feel awkward," I tell her.
"Kay,"
I hand u the phone and u say Hello. I can't hear Mom talking but, judging from your hart-, hart rate, she's got somethin' up. "Linda, I don't think-" I feel u tense. I Hold your free Hand, and u relax a little. "Linda, let it wait a little while... No... She's right here." u squeeze my hand. "Okay... Your mother wants u to go upstairs and make sure u have everything.
"Tell her I do," I kiss your hand.
u put the phone to my ear. "I just don't want her eavesdropping..." I roll my eyes. "Let me tell 'er..." u put your hand over the reciever and kiss my forehead. I kiss your cheek and reluctantly go upstairs.
"Don't drum on the stove, Eo," I tell you.
"That would suck," u laugh, enchanting my ears.
"And hurt,"
u agree and flip the French Toast. I ask if u want any help. u say that you've got it, and I nod and say 'kay.
