The next morning, I woke up in my same old bed, in my same old bedroom of my same old penthouse, located in this same old city on this same old planet…
Yet something is different.
There is another person in my bed, a woman I love, waking from in my cuddle. Naked.
She puts up a sweet smile as she gives me her first greetings in this brand new morning, “Good morning, Henry.”
With a smile on my face, I put a kiss on her forehead, “Good morning, Jamie.”
She closes her eyes and snuggles in my arms, “It is like a dream to wake up beside you...”
Gently, I caress
I take out an extra toothbrush from the cabinet for Jamie, after we brush our teeth, we start to kiss again.“Your kiss smells good.” she smiles.I chuckle, “Back at you.”I carry Jamie up and put her onto the bathroom countertop. We put our tongues into each other’s mouths.She grabs my shoulders and pulls me close, she spreads her legs and wraps her legs around my waist.In my ear, she whispers, “I want you inside me, Henry.”As I hear her seduction, my heart thumps hard and fast, my breath accelerates, a
It is the moment Jamie discovers the mole under the tail of my left eyebrow when she jumps down from me and dashes out of my bathroom with a complicated expression on her face.It was the water from the shower that washed off the concealer I applied on my mole.She picks up the towel and wraps her body up as she walks away from the bathroom. When she turns around, she sees me coming out of the bathroom putting up a towel around my waist.“Don’t come here! Stay back!” Jamie screams as she swipes her wet hair to the back. She picks a magazine up from the table next to her and points at me, “I said stay back! Henry Nosrevi!”Nervously, I put up my hands and show her my palms, telling that
After Jamie left, I returned to my penthouse and put on my clothes. I grab my phone, my keys, and dashes out of my penthouse again. I get in my car and head to Minerva, where I thought she would be.As I drive, I keep calling her. I called her several times, yet not once did she pick it up.Her phone keeps directing me to her voicemail box. I want to talk to her personally, yet I can’t do it if she doesn’t answer her phone.I keep calling, and calling, until suddenly, the call can no longer be connected. She has switched off her phone, I can no longer reach her.“This is the voicemail box for the number…”The
Before I knew it, the sky had turned dark.I am at a fountain at the end of the street, I sit on the black marble fountain basin with a bottle of opened beer next to me.I look at the bottle of beer, finding it is still almost full. Bitterly I chuckle at myself.Now I know how bad it is to be a man who is not able to drink. I don’t want to stay in my penthouse, or the bar, or anywhere filled with people I know. I want to be by myself just with a bottle of beer that can allow me to forget things.But I can’t drink in public. I’ll start to undress myself.I am a miserable man, yet I can’t even drink… How much sadder can it be?
I spent the following days waiting for Jamie to return my call.On the other hand, as my boss, Jamie hasn’t yet fired me, so technically, I am still her secretary. Although it was the weekend, I reported to work as usual.Not as Henrietta Chandelier anymore, but as Henry.The big Donald Duck plush I won from the funfair last night, I brought it here and placed it on Jamie’s couch. I wasn’t trying to please her with that, it’s just, I knew she likes Donald Duck, and I want her to be happy, that’s all.Jamie hasn’t been showing up in Minerva, yet I bought her favorite ristretto and grape wine lamb and porcini lasa
“Daniella…” I called her from behind as I caught her red handed, “What are you doing with my phone?” I questioned in a dubious tone.“Henry…” while Daniella puts up a smile on her face as she sees me, “I was just checking your phone, it is bad if the juice destroys it, right?” she then passes the phone to me, “But it’s all fine. I’ve wiped it for you, as clean as new. Here you go.”I remain my eyes on Daniells for a second before I take my phone back. I unlock it and check my phone, nothing abnormal is going on.My phone is fine, it seems like what she said was true, she didn’t touch it, she was just checking if the juice caused damage to it. Moreover, she wasn’t hiding wh
The rain became so heavy when we were done eating and walked out of the restaurant.People walk along the street with umbrellas in their hands, while we stay under the canvas awning outside the restaurant. We look at the rain pouring down, the cold wind blows and wraps us up. Before we know it we are standing so close together to provide each other some warmth.I insert both of my hands into my jeans pocket. In my head, I start to think about Jamie again.I wonder what she is doing right now… Will she feel cold? Does the cold weather make her feel uncomfortable? Is there someone by her side to warm her up and take care of her? Will she think of me at a time like this?…
It was the moment when I walked out of the bathroom after I cleaned my stained clothes in Juicy Punch, I saw Daniella holding my phone in her hands, she was looking at the screen…It happened then, didn’t it?Jamie’s message came in at the time when I was in the bathroom cleaning my clothes, and Daniella saw Jamie’s message come in.As she makes the payment for the umbrella at the cashier, I give her smiling face a glance.Daniella Greaves…She said she was just checking if the fruit juice that splashed across the table destroyed my phone, but the truth is...She saw
