Nirvana woke up to silent humming and dim light, without looking out of the window or checking the time, she instinctively knew that it was sometime after midnight. Maybe a little bit past one?

She usually woke up at least once after she went to sleep, sometimes it was because of thirst, other times, it was to relieve and there were rare times like now that she had no particular reason for waking up.

It wouldn’t be long before she fell asleep again though.

Nirvana buried her face in the bed and inhaled deeply at the nice scent wafting from it, but then she paused because it was nothing like hers. She buried her nose further and took another whiff to confirm that it wasn’t her nose playing tricks on her.

She opened her eyes in alert after confirming this, but what she saw almost made a gasp fly out her lips. She managed to stop it because something told her that Severin would definitely wake up.

He was sleeping right next to her and his face was close to hers, even if it wasn’t to

    Nirvana felt as though she stepped into another world as soon as she stepped through the door when Severin was inside while staying right behind her. The door clicked shut behind them and the silence that followed was pristine—only their footsteps echoed faintly as their heels clicked against the marble floor beneath. Nirvana’s eyes couldn’t help but stop on whichever art the golden spotlight halted on in the dim, soft gallery, she stared ahead but was only met with empty halls and still art. No guards, no footsteps, just perfect silence. Severin had rented out the entire museum. Nirvana looked behind but only shadow stretched behind, she flinched when Severin was nowhere to be seen. “Severin?” She called but it came out as a question, as if she doubted his existence there at all. Severin emerged from the shadows near a bronze sculpture, hands tucked in his black coat pockets, his posture was clean and controlled like he’d stepped out of a gallery himself and what Leah said about

    “And somehow, you managed to get along so well with Severin Moore that you ended up staying over in his place countless times?” Leah asked with wide eyes, bringing her face closer to the camera as if she was hoping to get close and personal with Nirvana through the phone. “What the hell happened to Severin Moore is a perfect prick?” “It wasn’t countless times, only twice and both were situational,” Nirvana defended herself. “The first one was that rainy night that I locked myself out of my place, the last bus had stopped running, my other car keys were locked in too, the car I took to work broke down. Severin only came to my aid. And last night was because I got drunk and refused to go back to my place, you of all people know how I get when I am drunk.” “And it was when he was drunk that he took advantage of you and asked you out on a date? Should you seriously be attending a date like that? You are supposed to refuse it in the morning when he reminded you about it. A man like that

    “Ah!” Nirvana sighed and relaxed entirely against the chair, staring at the stars with a gentle faraway look in her eyes. The meat had been dealt with and the only thing that remained was the beer that she continued sipping at irregular intervals, sometimes she sipped it as if she wanted to quickly finish it and get rid of it, other times it was like she forgot that she was even holding a can of beer. “Are you sure you should continue drinking? You are already drunk and would be going to work tomorrow,” Severin asked. He was sitting next—very close—to her and he didn’t seem to focus his gaze on anything in particular. He had finally listened to Nirvana and took a can of beer and that was the only thing he had been sipping since, it was like there was something stopping him from finishing it. Nirvana waved off his concern. “That doesn’t matter, I am not drunk and if I have a hangover tomorrow, my future self will deal with it.” “That is an utterly irresponsible thing to say.” He co

    Nirvana soon found herself ringing the doorbell with the promised drinks in the grocery bags she bought with her to his penthouse, Nirvana pushed the door when she heard a mechanical beep which meant he had opened from the inside. Nirvana dropped her slippers by the door after arranging it neatly and walked deeper into his place which was as still as ever. Severin emerged from the balcony in soft, lived-in black joggers, grey long-sleeve henley slightly pushed up. It wasn’t hard to imagine that he had already started getting the things he needed for the two-man party to the balcony. “Did you start cooking without me?” Nirvana asked, heading to the balcony while he passed her to get something from the kitchen. “No, I didn’t. Even though it is not like you would help me with the cooking if you were there,” he replied from inside. Nirvana had already passed through the slide door and entered the balcony, the night air smacking her straight on the face and her hair would have been t

    Nirvana checked the time, it was a bit past nine and it was the ideal time to start making her way back home. She had agreed to get to Severin’s place by ten in order to have that barbecue party, she had readily exclaimed that she would bring drinks along but she had no drinks at home which meant that she would have to stop by a grocery store. To get the drink, and many other foodstuffs she might need later. Who knew when Severin might decide that he wanted to cook for her again? She wanted to have materials for new food ready. “Is there something new that you are particularly happy about or seeing me bring you so much joy that you can’t help the grin?” Nirvana heard a voice which made her stop and wipe the smile she didn’t know she was spotting off her lips. Merely seeing Derek always left her with a bad taste in her mouth, and it didn’t look like he was here to check out the company he was supposed to be working in, so Nirvana guessed that she would be forced to have a conversati
