- 6th December- Zero
- Inside I realize that I'm the one confused -
"Yeah sure." My eyes wandered through the dark red painted hall when she left me alone, saying: "Have a look- if you want. Won't take long, though."
Everything was relative simple, nice-looking though. Black coloured furniture decorated by some white accessories.
I walked slowly through the small hall... There were four rooms, none but the bathroom had a door.
The nearest room to me was her bathroom. I was curious if it would look a lot like ours or the one Scarlette has. When I opened the door I was stunned. Not a tons of make-up but a handful welcomed me there. Why was I so surprised by the fact? She looked very natural. I opened a small cabinet. Just some shower, hair ornaments, shampoo and a brush. The mirror had a nice saying on it, written with lipstick:
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night...
Romeo and Julia...
Thoughtful I left her bathroom, closing the door in silence. In the hall again I saw another room: Her room. I was unsure to whether or not take a look. It's a very private one and for her, I'm a stranger. Or at least a stranger kissing her. All I saw were the green walls with a big black rose on it. Creative and lovely...
"There you are.", I said while entering the kitchen. "You've got a lovely flat. Though, she's small."
"It's big enough for me and Sulky...", she answered somehow sadly.
"... Sorry. I didn't want to hurt you or something." There was some reason for why she's living alone. Some reason she won't tell me, even if I wasn't a stranger.
"Forgiven and forget..." I sat down next to her drinking some coke, looking at her.
"So why did you kicked out your friends?" I had a theory bout that but.... I was too curious.
"Is it forbidden to want some privacy while hanging around with a cute guy, who's leaving me every time I have a million questions in my head which want to be answered?"
Cheeky girl. I grinned. "Thank you?..."
I leaned forward to kiss her, to feel her warm lips on mine. I loved the way she blushes when I kissed her, as if it's forbidden what she's doing. She came closer until there was no space left between us...

- Why don't you just go home? You were drowning in the water, so I offered you my hand, I left my heart open, but you didn't understand. But at least I can say I tried. I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life -
"Scarlette?", I said while lunch. "We need to talk."
"Yeah? What's up?", she said, obviously dreaming of herself. She held a pocket mirror in her left and a lipstick in her right.
"It's over. I don't know how I could fall in love with you but.... this isn't love anymore. You just started to go on my nerves. I just wanted to say bye."
"What did you just say!? How can you...!?", her angry voice echoed through the cafeteria.
"Sorry. You may think I'm heartless but first take a look at your own. Bye, Scarlette." I stood up, leaving her speechless behind. It would be more unfair to betray her and Ju at the same time.
"You'll regret it someday!", I heard her shout after me, but I didn't care at all...
In the afternoon I went to Starbucks for a coffee.
"Hey Ju!" A kiss on her cheek later I ordered an ice coffee, chatting with her while she was working. "How was your day?"- "I'm stressed out... I'm happy when I'm finally home, having some time to relax."
"Hmm...", I murmured, having an idea. I took a look on my clock, telling her I had to go. "I'm sorry. See you tomorrow or something?"
I could see her sadness as if it had been written on her face, she was trying to hide it, though.
"Sorry", I said once again, "Bye!"
"Goodbye....", I heard her answer.
I walked through New York, dealing the number of the only girl I wanted to talk to right now....who could help me in this situation.

- Feel the weight on your shoulder... is there anyone anymore? -
My day became a dark hole when he left the coffee shop. I was stressed out. I could not sleep yesterday after he was gone. So much to think about, so many things happened the last few days. The December was a crazy end for such a boring year. It was alright as long as I had someone to talk to these days...
When there was half an hour left to work, my cell phone rang. "Hi, Judith!" It was Rachel. "What's up?" Why would she call me during work? "Ehm... would you please come over after you're done? I need someone to talk to and Eve's not at home. Don't ask me where she is this time..."- "You know I'm tired... do I really need to come to your place?"
Somehow aggressive she said: "YES!" There was no chance to say I won't come so I gave up on that and said bye.
Then I was done with everything I took the subway to Rachel's.
When I was finally there I was so tired I just fell into her arms, wanting to sleep right now, right there. "Hey, hey, hey... Ju c'mon!" She pulled me onto her couch before she dialed a phone number. I was half asleep but I still could hear what she was saying. "We need to carry her home. ... Really? Okay, so you'll be here in a few minutes? Eve will tell you where to drive to. See you! ... Sure, sure!"
Everything was quit and I felt like I had some head ache. I was completely awake again, though. "Rachel? Tell me, where's Eve? And who's gonna pick me up...?"
"Gimme a break! Just relax, you'll see soon enough." A glitzy shine in her eyes told me everything was all right. I closed my eyes once again...
"Ju, wake up, it's time to go!" When I opened my eyes I saw Eve and Rachel standing in front of the couch. "What's going on...?"
"Ah nothing..", she whispered. I could hear someone else was there listening to what we said.
"She needs to rest. Maybe was just the wrong time to do something like that. Thanks anyway. Whatever I'll carry her home. "Zero...?"- "Yes?" I sat up to look into his eyes. "What are you doing here?" I was confuse. He carried me down the stairs and out of the house to the street. When I noticed the hot car which was parked in front of Rachel's place was his, I was speechless. "Oh my gosh..." He opened the door with one hand, leaving me in there...
When we were driving to my place, he told me what he was planning so eager. "I wanted to take you to an candle-light dinner at the Divided. As you can see: I just gave up on that. You're really too tired so I'll just bring you home."

- I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now -
"That would have been so expensive? I never could eat in there..." She looked sadly out of the window. "I wanted to make you happy. I've no problem with inviting you because money never was a problem for my family. If it hurts you, I'll..."
"It's okay. It is your life so don't worry 'bout me." Her face turned brighter after a while. "Thank you so much for making up your mind to make me happy, but I'm happy enough with you. You're the first guy who's by my side when I want you to be there... I know you could have every girl: Rich, beautiful, a model, ..."
I was quit until we were at her place. Then, I leaned over to her and whispered: "All I want is you, Ju...nobody else."
We walked up to her door and she searched for her key. I was much faster, opening the door for her, leading her in. "Ju? I love you. This is for you..."
- 9th December- Judith
- What I like about you, you really hold me tight, tell me I'm the only one, wanna come over tonight, yeah -
This was not for real, was it? There were roses everywhere. I took a step forward and another one. "Amazing... it's so lovely." I turned around and danced back to him, kissing him wildly. "I love you, too, you don't know how much."- "Does it matter how much? You should rest, though."
"I don't want to be alone... not now. Would asking you to stay tonight be wickedly?"
"No, if that's what you want, I'll be right beside you tonight." I jumped up and down like I was a little child on Christmas eve. "A few minutes ago you were sleepy like ... like you were."
I yawned a few times before he led me into my bedroom. Roses were lying everywhere, too, but this time black ones, fitting just in because of the one on the wall.
"I never entered your bedroom before, but the rose was one of the things I kept in mind."-
"I thought you would search in every room for dark secrets." My smile was wide when he looked down on me, asking: "Dark secrets? ... You're making me curious!" He batted once, throwing me on my own bed. "Time to sleep, don't you think?"- "Hey, hey, hey! Gimme a break! I need to take a shower first... all the stuff." I stood up once again hurrying into the bathroom.
I was in such a rush it took me just 10 minutes to be back into the bedroom. "Zero?", I wondered finding no one there. He came in followed by Sulky. "Sorry, I could not resist. She looked up at me with those sweet eyes wanting something to eat..." When Sulky noticed my gaze, she ran away as fast as she could. "Never mind."
After that, I noticed he just wore a boxer shorts this time. His body ... this boy was the perfection himself...

- When it gets cold outside and you've got nobody to love...is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe -
"C'mon girl. Nothing special anyway." I sat down on her bed, waiting for her to join me. She went to the wardrobe, pulling her shirt and blue jeans off to tog into her nighty. Her clothes were distributed among the room. "...finally done? I'm getting tired, too."- "Okay, okay..."
She turned around wearing a beautiful red night dress. "You look so lovely...", he said smiling. An embarrassed "Thank you." was her answer before she turned off the light and tiptoed to the bed...
"Good Night. It's nice of you to stay..."- "My pleasure. Wish you sweet dreams, honey."
Ouch As I said. Girls gonna hurt you! "For what was that? "Honey? I'm no food! Behave yourself..."- "Are you crazy?"- "No, it was just a joke. Calm down"
"You're sense of humor scares me." She turned around and tried to look into my face, though it was all dark in here. "It's all your fault so don't make me apologize for something I can't change." Okay, what was going on now? "You've lost me."
"What I want to say is, you were the one to start. I still don't know why you chose me of all the girls you could have. I mean, I'm nothing special. I have to work so often to pay the checks and so on. My life is all chaotic and I'm living all alone with a silly dog. I couldn't give you the presents you would deserve on you birthday and... and... "
Her tears fell down in silence. One after another. I wiped them away, whispering: "Ju, I don't care about how much money you've got. I'm not in love with your money but with you! The first time I saw you, you've already cast a spell over me. You think you're nothing special? Then I have to tell you, you're a liar. You're all special. I am the one to be lucky to have found you. Whatever, there's no place I'd like to be but here with you right now... No matter what will be in the future, I'll be there for you. Okay?" ... She said nothing. I kissed her once again...

"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: For those ten seconds or less, I’m free."
Thanks

Bravo , Eileen, you will be perhaps a writer, in the future! read your inspiration is very pleasant !
It's a secret dream of mine to write a book or something since I was a child (to be honest)
...but to make my dream (eventually) come true I will have to learn so much and become better! I'm going to work hard on me
Do you have any plans or even dreams of what you want to do later?
...but thanks for your nice comment! Hope you'll have a great christmas day!

I feel that you have the love of the words and their music to each one!
my dream would have been to be a writer, I believe that it is the only thing for which I would have impassioned myself but the destiny chose differently alas !
One needs that you believe in you, always! to carry out a dream is what one does of better in the life ! I have hope for you
Merry Christmas, friend with the pretty dreams!
I wanted to answer this one hours ago but the words just won't come out right!
If writing still is something you'd like to try out, just do
...but you're very talented in photomanipulating! This is something I could never do! Never ever...
It's nice to know somebody who has hope for someone else who's dreaming of a life which is hard to live if he/she gets the chance to! Let's see what chances life offers for both of us!
