(3 DAYS LATER)

Flora and Eric sat opposite each other busy enjoying their cold tea in the café.
“So? Why did you call?” Eric asked now turning his eyes to her.
“It’s your lucky day, cousin” Flora smiled
“Uhhn. I’m getting anxious now. What’s it?” Eric asked now smiling
“Hope you ain’t busy today? You’ve got any plans for your shoot today or?”
“No. There isn’t any shooting today but I made plans with Alexa. Your friend”
“What? What did she say?” Flora asked almost yelling.
“What’s the matter? It’s nothing big–though I haven’t heard from her yet. She just said she nee-ded to talk”
“No. Don’t talk to her. Cancel it!” Flora retorted now bulging her eyes. She was shivering.
“Why?What’s it”
“It’s because you are gonna be busy today”
“Huh? Why?”
“Elizabeth finally asked for a d@t£!”
“Really? When?”
“Now! Now! Uh–Flora paused and swallowed ha-rd . “She just said I should keep you close by till when she calls me”
“Okay then but let me call Alexa… She might be waiting for me”
“No! Don’t! Don’t call her. Don’t say anything to her. Uhh…Let’s chill first”
“She might get tired of waiting!”
“So? When she gets tired…She’s gonna leave or don’t you think so?”
“Flora? What is happening? What has gotten into you?”
“What do you mean? Let’s just wait here. So, stay with me till Lizzy calls… plea-se, huh?” Her voice shaked.
“Okay… What’s the time first?” Eric asked with sadness now eluding into him.
“Uhh… It’s 6:28(pm)…Just give her few minutes. She will soon call”
“Okay” Eric replied staring at the window. He felt sad and awkward. “It’s gonna be 7pm soon” He thought sadly as he sighed de-eply.
*************************
Alexa bit herl-ips ha-rd as she stared at the clock.
“We both made a promise to meet today by 7pm. Where’s he seriously? I’m all alone here! Ethan is probably with his girlfriend celebr@ting his birthday. Ken might be chilling or doing something fun else where while I’m here! Just doing nothing… Well, I’ve got to wait for him but I wonder why he won’t pick his calls” Alexa lamented as she stared at space.
*************************
Laura looked at the silver wristwatch. It was 8:31 pm. She was probably late. She sighed heavily and took out her makeup from her bag. She applied little especially below her eye. Seemed she must have been crying and used makeup to cover the eye bags that could have been formed.
She kept it back in her bag and looked forward. It was the hvge door of The Skyy Boys Band. (Alexa was inside the room waiting). She stretched her hand slowly pressing the bu-ttons when she her phone rang. She paused and took out her phone. She looked at the screen and the caller was her b©yfri£nd, Ethan.
☎ I’m alre-ady at your place She gushed after picking up the call.
☎ Huh? My place? What have you been thinking about babe? I told you we should meet in the 5 star h0tel,Room 12. I’m still waiting.
Laura sighed and hunged up the call. She looked at the door again. She re-moved her gaze and walked away.
Meanwhile, Alexa clearly heard the beeping sound coming from the door. She stood up happily waiting for Eric to come in but was quite disappointed when nob©dy showed up. She walked closer to the door and pu-ll-ed it.
“Huh? Who did that? Nob©dy is here” She thought as she pushed her head out from the opened door. She looked forward and her gaze met with a tall girl who walked away slowly.
“Who’s she?” Alexa asked to no-one in p@rticular watching the unknown girl’s behind. Alexa sighed sadly and went in again.
*******************
“You c@m£ late” Ethan said coming close to her. He suddenly hvgged her ti-ghtly and smiled. “I still miss you anyways” He said
“I’ve got things to do Ethan… Let’s keep this short and quic-k” Laura said to him and left his opened arms.
“Huh? Okay” He replied surprised by her act. Ethan brou-ght out a beautiful cake and placed it on the table. They sat beside it. Ethan tried to hold her hand but Laura kept removing hers. It left Ethan sad and bad.
“Happy Birthday Ethan” Her voice wasn’t sincere. She kept looking at the fire that lit up the candle on the cake.
“Laura, What’s really wrong with–
“Your reply should be Thank You” She cut him short.
“What?” He was very shocked.
“Don’t ask for any gifts. I didn’t bring any… Let’s quic-kly b!ow out the candles… It’s almost melting. Oh, Can I also make a wish. I’ve a wish to make” Laura whispered showing him her lonely depressed look.
“Alright, Let’s make a wish. It might make you happy” He replied folding hisl-ips.
“Thank you, In 3–2–1,–Laura paused as they blew out the candles.
Make a Wish!” Ethan gushed. They closed their eyes and faced the cake.
Seconds later, They opened their eyes and looked at each other.
“What did you wish for?” Laura asked.
“No. Its supposed to be a secret” Ethan replied forcing a smile.
“Well.. Mine isn’t a secret”
“Why?”
“Do you wanna hear mine?”
“Okay then” Ethan replied
“I wished we could–She paused and swallowed ha-rd . Just then, A tear escaped from her eye. However, She quic-kly wiped it off with her palm. Ethan felt his heart skip.
“I wish we could break up” She completed
“What?” Ethan voice shaked. His eyes twitched and he wished it was nothing but a nightmare.
“Let’s break up Ethan” She blurted holding onto her bag. Tears rushed from Ethan’s eyes. She also couldn’t hold back her tears. She began to cry as well. She turned to leave but Ethan held onto her hand.
“Don’t go, plea-se–He paused and sniffed ha-rd trying to tuck in his runny nose. His tears ran down like an explosive volcano 🌋.
“Don’t leave me, plea-se! Laura, I really love you… plea-se, It’s my birthday for crying out loud! You know how much I suffered. You know how lonely i was. You know how depressed I was. You know how much I hated myself and even tried to commit suicide! So, Why now? Why? plea-se, Can’t you rethink this… For my sake?” He cried out like a new born baby.
Laura stared at him. She was angry, and sad too.She inhaled de-eply closing her eyes which allow more tears to flow freely.
“Don’t like me anymore. I’m not of your clas-s anymore…I don’t want you to hate me. I don’t wanna put you in danger. Because of a mistake I made, I’m drained with utmost loneliness and depression. I don’t want anyone or anything. plea-se, Stay away from me or I might try to commit suicide” She retorted with a loud yell.
Ethan looked at her and slowly dis£ngaged from her. He felt shivers run throu-gh his spine. His heart kept on palpitating now and then. Ethan wondered what she was even talking about. The sh*t he heard made him scared. Laura breathed heavily and tried walking out.
“Do you wanna know what I wished for?” He asked causing a halt to Laura’s steps.
“No” Laura replied with a slow whisper not minding to face him from her behind.
“I’m still gonna say it anyway” He replied with tears still streaming.
“I made a wish to k!ssthe woman of my dreams tonight… and that’s “You,Laura”…Can I wait till you find yourself back. I’m gonna wait” He muttered. Laura sighed and left without uttering any more words. Ethan fell down on his knees crying. He cried and cried like he was nuts.
He drank a lot that night. He bec@m£ drun!kto the extent of not being able to walk properly. However, a designated driver was called for him. The kind driver even held him close esc-rting him down to the door. Ethan paid and sat down on the floor. He scattered his hair and slammed his face. He sniffed continuously cleaning the never ending tears. He eventually stood up but in a rou-gh stagger. He looked at the door security and shaked his head trying to look at it well due to his blurred vision.
****************************
Finally, Alexa heard the beeping sound again!.
She sighed in relief. It was 9:50 pm alre-ady.
She stood up happily and waited for Eric to come in.
She saw the silhouette of the person come in. He took off his shoes and c@m£ closer.
“Huh? It’s Ethan?” Alexa was angry and surprised after seeing her uninvited guest come into light.
“Huh? Did you drink?” She asked looking at him. He laughed as he stared at her.
“Did you just laugh?” She asked
“–You laugh better, Your smile is cute. You don’t look handsome… You look beautiful” He blurted out.
“What?” She asked whispering.
“You are drun!kEthan” She added quite worried and weird by his s-en-seless statement.
“No, I’m not” He retorted
“You are” Alexa said coming closer to him. Ethan blinked his eyes as he looked at Alexa who was now next to him.
“You should go to be-d.. I’ve to go home now. It’s late” Alexa said now taking few steps past him.
“Don’t go” He whispered gr-abbing her hand.

“Why? Are you scared of the dark?” She mocked smiling as she turned to look at him.
“Don’t smile like that either” He whispered again.
“Why? It’s ugly right?Huhmmp!” She frowned
“–No,–He whispered and paused
It’s too pretty. So pretty that I might go crazy” He finally added.
“What’s wrong with you. Gosh, You are quite gross when you are drun!k” Alexa chuckled.
“I’m leaving, Goodnight!” She waved. She tried taking off her hand off his grasp but he didn’t bulge. She looked at him.
“Hey? What’s wrong with you?” She asked now worried. Ethan stared at her and swallowed ha-rd .
“I asked, What wrong with–She paused suddenly due to Ethan’sl-ips now on hers.
She opened her eyes wi-dely opened in shock. Ethan’s hand slowly left her hand and took both hands to her face. He took total possession of herl-ips k!ss!ngher de-eply.
Alexa lifted her arms up like she was surrendering. However, Ethan kept k!ss!ngher de-eply and pas-sionately. The k!ssgot intense and h0t that Alexa felt it. Her eye lids began to close slowly involuntarily. Alexa slowly took her arms down and went to his shi-t. She ti-ghtly held onto his shi-t’s w@!st line.
She felt his softl-ips against hers.His k!sswas irresistible. It felt like a cool breeze with the mixture of fragrance from beautiful flower petals. Though it wasn’t p@rt of her delightful plan, she felt the urge of sweetness.
Ethan bit her lower l!pgently, as he slowly found his ton-gue wiggling in Alexa’s mouth. He held onto her cheek’s area well trying to k!ssher more de-eply than normal.
Alexa slowly returned the de-ep k!ss. They were both out of the world and found themselves in pure blinding light.
