“Je voudrais ma boisson tres froide s’il vous plait, merci”. April was saying to a waiter while Micheal absentmindedly tapped away on his screen. it had been three days since Micheal had decided that he needed a break, three days since April had squealed excitedly and told him that she had truly needed the vacation for a long time now. *Flashback*‘I just couldn’t go on a vacation without you”. She had said to him.And he had asked her why of course. He didn’t understand why she would want to go on a vacation but wouldn’t because he didn’t go with her. She had shrugged. ‘I don’t know. I guess it’s the same way I feel going out to eat alone, makes me feel….lonely’. She had told him. And once again he had found himself feeling like shit. He may have been a very busy person but he was certain he could make time to eat out with the woman he had married, he was sure he could conveniently make enough time to go out with her from time to time, yet he hadn’t even attempted. He had cle
ALEXA’S POV I had returned from school, took my bath and had dinner while being conscious of the fact that it was about to rain and Calan still wasn’t back. Something told me he wasn’t back probably because he wanted me to have dinner without him so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable, and I was truly beginning to feel bad. I had been upstairs in my room trying to catch up on school stuff; I had abysmally failed to focus, and so I had headed downstairs to the living room. It was a cold evening and I surprisingly found that I was enjoying the chilly weather. I had settled down on a couch and decided that I would wait here till he returned, and when an hour passed I decided to do the reasonable thing and call him. My heart pounded with every second as I dialed his number, and my breath hitched when he answered the call, from some reason I almost had a heart attack. “Good evening, Alexa”. His deep voice came smoothly from the other side. And for a moment I didn’t know what to say, for
A quiet groan left April as her eyes fluttered open to find harsh rays of sunlight streaking into the room. She raised her hand to shield her face from the lights which sort to blind her, it felt as though her head was about to split in two. She wasn’t surprised though, it was what you got for drinking so much. Her recollection of the previous night wasn’t exactly clear but she remembered enough to know that she had been a mess; she had thrown up countless times before passing out. “You’re awake”. She blinked a couple of times to clear her vision on hearing Micheal’s voice, she knew he was walking towards her from the sound of advancing footsteps and she suddenly felt like melting. She had made a complete and absolute fool out of herself yesterday, just thinking about it made her want to choke herself. She lowered her hand when her eyes became accustomed to the lights and her somewhat blurry gaze met his. “Good morning, April”. He greeted with the faintest of smiles. She averte
ALEXA’S POV I had woken up to find the covers still drawn over my body which was normal because I had tossed and turned when I was asleep, however, what was different was the fact that the scent of sandalwood had been with me all night; for a moment I had thought Calan had been beside me during the night, but then I recalled that his coat had been draped over me, it probably had been why I had slept so soundly. I could tell it was a cool morning because I was still under the covers and I wasn’t even hot at all, on the contrary I felt rather cold. Nonetheless, I pushed the covers of myself and climbed out of bed slowly, and as I did his coat fell over my shoulders and like always; I felt empty. I let out a breath, it was too early for this, I had things to do, I had to prepare for the day and head out in time for my first class. With that in mind, I had pulled myself together and had headed to the bathroom to freshen up. And it wasn’t long before I was dressed and ready to head out,
I had taken the coat with me to the dining room, and for some reason my heart pounded heavily against my chest as I made my way there; I was just returning a coat but yet I was almost breathless, yet I was almost having a heart attack. I swallowed an imaginary lump that had formed in my throat before I pushed the door open quietly and made my way into the dining area. I noticed the table was set but void of his presence, and for some reason I begun feeling really nervous and anxious as all thoughts crossed my mind. What if he wasn’t here because he wasn’t coming? And what if he wasn’t coming because he thought he was making me uncomfortable. I was probably overthinking the whole thing but I very well couldn’t help it, I couldn’t help a lot of things these days. And just as I turned around to leave I bumped into something….or someone, I bumped into him and his hand went around me to keep me from losing my balance. I’m glad he had done that cause my heart almost leapt out of my mou
Third person's POV It wasn't like April wasnt used to drinking, it was just that she was the worst there was with alcohol, and one would think that she would learn from the excruciating hangovers but she just didn't, perhaps she would have gotten drunk if she had. It was well into the day now and it was safe to say that she still felt like shit. But of course, that didn't stop her from going out with Micheal, death wad probably the only thing that would stop her from going with him, and even if she was dead she'd probably still be with him in spirit. "We can go tomorrow if you still don't feel Alright". Micheal had said to her. It wasnt hard to notice that she wasn't quite herself; her head hurt terrebly and she kept on flinching from the slightest noise or contact, and not to mention the fact that she was slightly feverish and weakened from all the throwing up. She had shook the very head that ached her quickly and had told him sne wouldn't wait till tomorrow, she couldn't.
Alexa's POV How long had it been since I reumed classes? Nothing more than two weeks for sure, but yet it felt like forever. And what made it worse was mistakenly hearing two professors discussing about 'The President's' resumption; I guess I had somehow forgotten that resuming classes meant meeting Michael one way or another. My heart had fallen to the pit of my stomach and I had felt fairly sick to be honest, and till now my heart still faltered considerably. We had Philosophy class in ten minutes and Michael always took that particular course, I had asked him why he still had to teach when he obviously had so much to do. His reply had been simple: 'I wouldn't be heading A University if I didn't like teaching'. I had admired him for that, I still did, I liked the passion in which he taught with, I liked how dedicated he was towards making sure the lesson was understood. I found myself shifting in my seat over and over again as I waited for the ten minutes to elapse. If Mich
ALEXA'S POV On getting back home, Mildred had told me that Calan had returned earlier and she was worried he was feeling too well because he had looked tired. "You know how he can be, he insists that's he's fine". She had said. I could tell from the look in her eyes that she was so very worried about him. And her worry was contagious, I became just as worried as her or even more so, but I had to control myself, had to hold myself together so I didn't panic. I had asked where he was and she had told me he was up in his room taking a nap. Of course I had rushed upstairs, freshened up quickly and had headed to his room as fast as I could. I had knocked but as expected there was no response, so I opened the door as quietly as I could. I felt like I was sneaking around but I couldn't help it, I just needed to be sure That he was alright, plus it was the right thing to do. I made my way into the room slowly, all the while my heart pounded against my chest erratically; for a moment I
