Flickering my eyes open, my vision was still blurry. A blanket was pulled over my body, my hair- my hair was in my face. I never put my hair down even though whenever I did. I received so many compliments. There was an empty space beside me, it was a single bed; what did I expect? I smiled at the thought of yesterday... Eric was actually being nice to me. I stood up yawning like an animal, thank God he wasn't here to witness that. Why do you care so much? My subconscious mocked. This was going to far, I needed to stop. I thought to myself. I had a beautiful dream that Eric had been playing with my hair. He softly ran his fingers through it. It was a good feeling I thought to myself.Looking for a hair tie around, I immediately found one on my desk. I had a stack of those because my hair was always in a ponytail. It suited me best. My eyes then flickered to a diary looking journal that laid there. I didn't waste time opening it. I immediately cringed. - By twenty-five I should be m
Hey sugar tits. x I received a text and immediately knew who it was. Only one person called me sugar tits because he would always say he loved how perfect and perky they were. I didn't know if I should be happy that Robbie was finally giving me attention. I was also trying my level best not to have... thoughts about Eric even though, he was right next to me. Fuck guys!"Should I take any brand of milk?" Eric brought me out of my thoughts. We were running my parents errands, after having dropped off his luggage back home. We had to go to Walmart to buy a few things. "My dad is a little picky actually-" like replied. "Let's take the dairy farmers brand." I said immediately going back to my phone. This was something I had always wanted... Robbie's attention. "You better not be talking to that arsehole." Eric clicked his tongue pushing the trolley past me. Someone clearly wasn't in the mood. "And if I am?" I sassed away. "Then you're an imbecile and guess what? He will just continu
"You got a freaking tattoo wow Lee, I never thought I'd live to see that day.." Laura let out an exaggerated reaction. Everyone in Starbucks kept giving us looks. I was a bit embarrassed but I was used to it. Laura was sweet, just a tad bit loud. "Yeah with Eric.." I muttered my hand laid on my chin and a comfortable stance. "I figured, he was the only force that could have triggered this." She smiled widely, she seemed happier than I was. "Yeah... he really is something." I smiled."Are you-" she gasped. "In-love with Ricky?" "What?!" I gave her a scowl. "No no no.." She wiggled her eyes brows at me and I ended up laughing. She let it slide this time as she changed the subject. "Well tell me what you have been busy with?" I took a sip of my cappuccino, it was absolutely delight. My mind immediately drifted to Eric, I wondered what was he doing right now? It was getting harder and harder to be away from him. I didn't want to be this attached but I couldn't help it not with his c
Dinner was awkward.Well at least for me not knowing what plans Eric had for us tonight. At the back of my mind, I had to tell myself... he couldn't have been joking. He always loves getting a reaction out of me. I was excited and nervous. Eric blended in with my family fast, he wasn't even a guest anymore judging by the way he talked and joked with my father about everything. This time he offered to do the dishes with my mother and I told them I was going to shower for a bit, I clearly didn't miss the wink he gave me. My father had to leave for his night shift at the hospital. He was a busy man, you could say but he always made time for his family. He was and is very passionate about his job and that I admired about him. On my way up the stairs, I heard my mom and Eric giggling when she said she wanted to show him my childhood photos. I groaned, could this get anymore embarrassing- I had a nice warm bath, where I shaved my legs and my gem. I wasn't expecting anything but I just wa
Knock knock knock Knock knock Knock! "Eric dear, it is Sunday and we better prepare for church. I just need to wake up my heavy sleeping daughter." I heard my mom's voice echo from the passage. At first I thought I was dreaming until it dawned onto to me how much shit I was in. I quickly woke Eric up, I was sleeping on his chest. He was sleeping soundly but it was the wrong time to day dream. "Mrs. Winters, I will be right down." Eric yelled staying stagnant in bed pulling me close to his chest. He didn't seem to be in knock mode like I was. "I'd like to wake Leona up myself, there is something I'd like to tell her." He added. I giggled, he then kissed my forehead pulling me close. "Oh alright dear. Make it snappy alright. Church is starts at eight and ends at twelve. Be sure to wear appropriately, I want to introduce you to our close relatives." I felt like telling her, alright mom now is the time you walk away and continue with your day. "Eric?" She called again. "Yes, Mrs-
"Oh my word, Leona is that you... lost all the baby fat huh?" Addie came to give me a hug, I felt so awkward. She just loved teasing me but I had grown accustomed to it. In a way she was the older sister I never had. Her hair was back to blonde and she wore a nice... appropriate dress. It was all a shocker.She looked like a totally different person. "Hi, Mrs Kurt Cobain." I teased her back. "Oh please, don't make Jeremy here jealous." She said giving her fiancé a quick smile. It was cute. The man who stood beside her, had brown hair and a bit of beard. I never understood this trend of thinking men with beard were sexy. I just didn't find it appealing.. "I would literally walk you down the isle and give you to Kurt Cobain, freaking legend." He said in a deep Texas accent. I now understood why they understood each other. Addie had a huge obsession with Nirvana and Kurt Cobain even though he had passed away way back. She just loved him so much. On her eighteenth birthday Laura and I
"Search for him on Facebook!" Laura suggested, I had already done that on my own before. I shrugged deciding let me just give it one more try. No results. "Okay, maybe he has a middle name or instead of Eric Michelson try Rickey Michelson. He clearly loves that name more." She said taking a large bite off her apple then jumping on her bed where I sat with her MacBook. I didn't want to spend anytime with Eric so I told him, I had plans and yes I did have plans. To hang out at Laura and Sam's cute apartment until dawn, like the good old days. Was it weird that I was just leaving him alone with my parents? Well my dad was at the hospital all the time and my mom had held a book club every Monday and Wednesday's. He has a car so he probably went to pick up some ladies like he had said earlier. It kind of bothered me."No results again, but there are other Rickeys just not that Rickey. He did say he wasn't interested in social media and all." I shrugged."And you believe him?" Laura aske
Hospitals.I was practically raised in one. I never wanted to go back home whenever my mom and I would visit my dad. I was always so amazed, amazed by what you may ask? everything is just so bland, dull and deadening. I saw it differently, I saw my father as Superman, as the best dad in the world because he got to save lives. I spent most of my days in boarding school but whenever summer came around, everyday was follow my dad to work day. No wonder I settled for being a nurse, i got the passion for this career path from my father. He just loved what he did for a living, he never complained. Many people would come from far and wide just to be operated by the greatest surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Winters. Remembering when my father got featured on one of the episodes for a show called Doctors. I watched it attentively even though at the time everything he was saying was practically gibberish. Whenever my dad and I cooked chicken we would always perform what we called the Dr. Rod and N
