A story.
"You've been on the computer for weeks now, how long are you gonna keep this up?" Mia exclaimed. I was too busy engrossed in the game that I didn't catch a word she was saying. "Rose!" Mia screamed my name. Still engrossed in the game, I paid no attention to her. The screen then turned black. I panicked like some geek lost all his freaking files. I looked at Mia whose fingers just left the main socket switch. She gave me a sly smile.I sighed. "What do you want?"
"You should hell know what I want. You've been on this freaking computer for days! You still dare to ask me? Lets go shopping, hang out like what we used to do! Right after that idiot Eric dumped you, you went going berserk and started playing this stupid games!" She screamed at the top of her voice. "Eric didn't dump me.. Eric just.. left the country. That's all." I looked down trying to hide away my tears. I had to accept the fact that he was gone, gone out of my life. After he left, he didn't bother to reply my e-mails or even send me postcards.
"Accept the fact Rose, he left.You can't stay at home with computer games ruining your life! And seriously, you need to bathe too.You stink! Peeyouh!" she exaggerated on the last part. I rolled my eyes back at her."You've stopped seeing guys for 2 months now, come on! I hope that flirty side of you isn't gone. I still know my Rose is there. Please? Can we at least have some quality time rather then you spending on this crappy game?" It took me awhile to answer, but I nodded. "Yay! Your the best Rose! I'll see you tomorrow then. Meet me at the mall the usual time." She chirped happily. She then left the room and I was all alone.
The mention of Eric made my heart ache so badly. I flopped onto my bed and held the key chain he gave me before he left. Tears trickled down my cheek as I remembered the memories that he and I shared. We weren't really a couple before he left. He knew he was about to leave, he didn't tell anyone.. Just wanted to spend time with me.. The last time he could with an "asian" girl. I'm half american half asian. I got my american traits from my dad. Which is the big boobs and bust.While my asian hair and face features was from my mom. In that addition, yes, I was one of the hottest girl in school with Mia.Boys would stop and stare and even some would start drooling. I didn't really wanna brag on that part, but hey, it's the truth.
I circled around the key chain and read the words written on it out loud. "It's because I love you. Even when I'm gone, I'm still next to you." I closed my eyes and that very moment, everything brought back at the airport.
The airport.
I was late, it was a few minutes till his departure. Both of us got into an argument the night before. I was scared for him to think I didn't want to see him because of that. But I just couldn't resist myself. I wanted to see him. I got out of the cab and slammed the door. The driver didn't look too happy about it but I couldn't care. I was racing for the time and for the one I love. I checked in my text messages for his departure terminal. It says terminal 3, yeah, I'm at the right terminal, but where the fuck was he?
I took a glance at my watch, it was 12.15pm. His flight would take off at 12.30pm. "Fuck!" I swore out loud. Foreigners looking at me and I felt my face hot. A hand rested on my shoulder and I reacted to it.
I turned around and saw Eric..Smiling.. My eyes went blurry and I hugged him tight. His fingers went through my hair. I looked up at him, my tears flowing down. He wiped away my tears with his thumb. Brushing his fingers against my cheek and kissed them.
"I thought you wouldn't come." he grinned. "After you know.. yesterday.." still a smile on his face. "Well.. of course I wouldn't let you leave before kissing me." I tried to make him laugh, but instead he took it seriously and he kissed me. That kiss, was passionate then any other kisses he had given me. It was hot and deep. I pressed my lips even closer. I wished that kiss lasted longer. I wanted it to be forever that way. But no, he broke off the kiss and I saw his eyes..
He looked like he was in pain, he was about to cry. He took my hand and placed a small little box and pushed my fingers to close them. I looked at my hand and back at him. He then hugged "Whenever you miss me, whenever you need me, read it out loud, okay?" he whispered into my ears. He then let go and looked at me from the top to bottom. Admiring something about me, once again.
He gave me one deep kiss and winked at me. "I will miss you, Rose." Tears started rolling down my cheeks again and I forced myself to say it. "I love you Eric, I seriously love you." I said too quick. Hoping he heard me. A playful smile appeared on his face. "What did you say? I couldn't catch that." I rolled my eyes in the midst of crying. "Nothing, nothing." I replied. He took my arm and kissed me again and said "I love you too."
The first time of in our whole lives, we confessed each other. He walked away and looked back to wave at me with a last smile.
-------------------------------------
It took me awhile to realize it was one of those random flashbacks. I looked at the keychain. Why did he give me this keychain? I didn’t want to remember him. That’s what I always say, but my heart knows that I do want to remember him. I squeezed my fist with the keychain still in it and held it close to my heart. “I wonder if you miss me too...” I mumbled to myself.
I soon passed out on my bed from exhaustion and Mia’s nagging. My dream was nothing special, just black and white. It’s been like that and nothing more. When is it the time to dream about those stuffs? You know... those stuffs... You still don’t know? Let me give you an example like me and Eric on the bed. Okay never mind let’s not go there.
I woke up on my own accord with a killer headache. I glanced at my clock on my side table. 10.30 a.m., if I didn’t get up any moment to get ready, Mia is going to kill me. I got out of my bed and stretched and yawned like a big monkey. I forced myself into my own private toilet. Living in a dorm has its own good privileges. It has been a long time since I got really ready to go out and shop and all that girly stuffs. I used to use my thick eyeliner and use heavy mascara that it looked so faked. I just didn’t have anyone to get ready and pretty for now. I seriously need to move on.
Had a half an hour bath and brushed my teeth. I got out of the toilet naked still with my toothbrush in my mouth. Mom would have seriously scolded me for doing this, but hey! She isn’t here to boss me around. The best damn thing to be in college! No nagging mothers! Only friends though. The longest I didn’t visit back home was 4 months even though it was just a three hour drive from here to there. Mom would call me almost every day but dad didn’t call at all. He must still be mad at me because I chose the college I wanted and not he wanted.
Well I wasn’t for sure going to let anyone control my life. It has been like that since I was young. My parents would make the decision for me but I didn’t really like the control until I got into my early teens.
Dad is well known for the 2nd version of Donald Trump. If you know what Donald Trump does, you would know what my dad is earning for a living too. Well only a bit lesser. Mum was just a housewife shopping clothes and fashionable like me too.
My room is really big and spacious. It’s the biggest of all in the girls’ dorm. Mum insisted on me getting the big one and she even paid the rent. I got really pissed on that. What’s worst that she even decorated my room with pink laces and fluffy pillows and stuff toys. I sighed looking at all the pink in my room.
My smooth beautiful skin glistening against the light that shone through my window. I continued brushing my teeth and went back in the toilet to finish it off.
I got out of my toilet and brushed my hair, still nude. “Hey Rose another package for you. I wonder what’s inside here. Are they games? If they are..” Kyle suddenly barged in the door with a box in his hands with his blabbering and it came into a sudden stop. He looked at me from top to bottom with his jaw dropped. He did it three times before his face turned super red like a tomato.
What was this buster looking at? I looked at myself from the top to bottom. I stared blankly and realized I was still naked. I took my blanket on the floor and covered up myself. “WH-what do you want?!” I stammered. “I came here to deliver your package, ma’am!” He replied to quickly for me to catch what he said. But I didn’t really want to hear his excuse.
“Mm.. Just leave it on my desk.” He did what I told him to do and took a peek at me. “Uhh.. How many guys saw it..?” “Saw what?” “Saw you.. like that..” his face turns to my body and then to my face. I gave him a flirty laugh. A rumour has it that I shagged the whole school of the football team back at my high school days. “I don’t know, maybe the rumour was true? You decide.” I chuckled. “Well if the rumours were true enough, then you wouldn’t mind me looking at you then.” He grinned and laugh.
--------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, rrrright. Turn around. You aren’t getting any free show.” I said playfully. He sighed in disappointment and turned around. I walked towards the box Kyle had brought in a moment before. “Mom bought me the latest collection of Gucci?! Oh I like!” I squealed in happiness. Kyle was rolling his eyes and still trying to catch a glimpse of me. Trying some of the clothes, Kyle went on my laptop and started playing games.
“Hey don’t try anything funny alright? Not even porno. The last time I heard, your computer got billions of Trojan.” I chuckled. He turned away from the screen to look at me with a sad look “It wasn’t billion, it was a few thousand. And betch, there’s no way I’m going to watch porn in front of you. Dream on.” “You watch porn just cuz’ you just don’t wanna go to bed with anyone else but me?” I raised a brow at him with a sly smile.
Rumors too have it that he was staking his virginity for me. “Rosalie Brown, how can you believe that? Pfft.. I lost mine like when I was fourteen. I’m just.. scared of responsibilities. That’s all.” “So you play with yourself? Interesting story.”
“Hey where did you get that idea?! At least I’m not like you.” He walked over to my closet and dug his hands into my panty drawer. “Hey what th-” I stopped for few brief moments and thought of what he was trying to find.
“Fuck!” My mind screamed. “Hey stop that!” tried to move his arm but he was too strong. He was smiling and laughing as I tried to break him away. “Bingo.” His hand took out a flesh light. “How did..” ““Shh. Secret. I come into your room every night spying on you.” His eyebrows wriggles up and down. I playfull punched his arm.
