I woke up smelling something good in a while I followed the smell coming from the kitchen.
Good morning I said Rhea was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She sometimes does that when she has time but it's really refreshing seeing Rhea in the apron first thing in the morning. It's like we were newly wed.
Morning, breakfast will almost be ready..she said increasing the flame of gas.
You don't need to worry about breakfast. I'll just drink some milk I said that's what I did for the last 2 years.
That's not ok. If you don't eat, you won't have any energy and when you don't have energy, you can't focus on your studies she explained as my mom did.
Sometime has passed since we started living together, and I had actually gotten pretty used to it quicker than I thought I would.
Go and Take a shower quickly
Okay.
I took a quick shower and joined Rhea on the dining table. As I took a seat Rhea handed me a bowl of rice and hot soup
Here you go . Rhea also joins me for breakfast.
Thanks for breakfast
i said
I take a bit of rice and then drink some soup over it.
It's delicious I said without thinking
Isn't it. I've been practicing to be a good bridge I am also careful about the calories, so even if you eat too much, you won't get fat Rhea said with a proud look on her face.
This is why you're a model
Yonathan you have college today, Right?
Yeah?
What time do you think you'll be home today? I think I will be late because of a shoot, but about dinner ..... she said with a concerned face.
Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out , to release her concern I said.
.... Hump she pouted her chicks.
What? Did I say something wrong?
We just started living together, so you should be disappointed she said she is explaining to me to be disappointed it's just ..... Cute.
But even if I'm disappointed, it doesn't mean you'll be able to come home sooner
do you? I asked
Well, that is true, but it's about the thought that counts. I want you to want me more, just for yourself, together like we used to be in old days she looked down as she lost her motivation.
Listen Rhea I said
What?
I really like people who work so hard at their job. I truly respect them.
Do you mean ...
Yes. You, I really respect you I know that you work hard more than anyone else to become who you are today. You are my inspiration.
Oh Come on you're just making me blush ~ Alright, fine, I'll Go do my best at work today.
S...sure if you're this easy to convince, it's a little worrying. I mumble
Did you say something?
Nope Nothing at all
Really?
to avoid further interrogation I changed the subject to daily necessities.
Oh! On the way home I'll buy some detergent I saw that it was getting low.
Thanks that will be helpful.
she said she was too simple minded or she knows that I am changing the subject i didn't know about that.
we finished our breakfast and parted our paths. Rhea still has time so she stayed back .
As I left the bus and entered college a sudden voice called me
What's up rajput it was from my friend ganesh and he continued with
You look sleepy again today.
That's because I am super sleepy. You know the deadline is coming up soon
and stuff i said
he takes out the comb from his back pocket and starts setting his hairs while walking side to me
I see you must be working hard , I am rooting for you he said
Trying although, I'm not seeing many results
Don't rush it, don't rush it, it takes time and effort for a seed to grow he said keeping his comb into his back pocket.
But it's rare for you to come to college when you're that tired
I would much rather be at home sleeping and continuing working on my project I said trying to open my eyes with my all might it's too tiring to ride the bus.
Then why don't you. Choose your priorities. Meeting my eyes he said.
I actually moved to a new apartment recently.
And what does that have to do with your work and stuff.
What I'm saying is I'm not alone anymore so if I were to do that, then the person I'm living with would know about my work and I don't want that.
So it's a girl or boy?
It's a girl
What? So you are living with your girlfriend ? He asked with a shocked face.
I can't say that but pretty much that's the case. A lot of things happened you know alot. I said
What does that mean? Don't confuse me, are you kidding me then what are you going to do about that childhood friend of yours? You...
Well, the thing is that my childhood friend is who I'm living with i tell him the case.
Excuse me? I don't understand what I thought you told me you were estranged?with a confused look he said.
Like I said. A lot of things happened and
I don't have more energy to explain.
i said
My friend that knew about my previous situation didn't say anything further and I don't intend too.
Let's go I will buy you a coffee for your hard work Mr. Writer he said
That's helps me a lot and don't call me that okay ?
Yeah yeah let's go to the cafeteria. as he said that We go to the cafeteria to buy coffee.
I kept fighting with my sleep and finished all the lectures.
After attending all the lectures I went straight to the apartment and took a nap and again started working on my project.
I heard the sound of the front door opening I looked over time in my ipad . It shows 8.15 pm, I closed my iPad and went towards the entrance.
I'm home Rhea said As if she was calling me towards her.
Welcome home I greet her.
Thank goodness Rhea said she seemed relieved and sat on the entrance
What? Why are you look so relieved I asked
That you're here yonathan
What does that mean?
If you ran away from me like you did high Jr. College that would really suck and I don't know what I will do. She said I think there was some other meaning what she said. As if I run away she will chase me down. I can imagine that
Like I said, sorry about that, I said in a cold sweat.
she gets up and starts to removed her high heels.
You definitely don't mean that she said
That's .... not true
Liar. If you feel that way then carry me to the living room
Ummmmm ...
So you are lying
Okay I will carry you .
I picked up her in the prince's carry and went towards the living room and kept her slowly on the sofa.
You're tired from a long day just sit here I will bring you some water I said and go towards the kichen.
Yeah, thanks and of course I'm tired. How many gigs do you think I was today? She said letting out a big sigh. I looked over her from kichen she seemed concerned about something or maybe she is too tired. I take a glass from the shelf and fill it with hydrogenous water and take it to Rhea.
Here, drink water for now I'll go and get the bath ready, so wait a few minutes. as I am on my way towards the bathroom
What? You're going to get in with me? Rhea said.
Don't say embarrassing things like that. Get in the bath by yourself I still have things to do. My face was feeling hot when I heard that words
Hey yonathan I noticed far now that you're always by yourself in your room what are you doing not to mention you always seem sleepy she said she seemed concerned but I know for sure this time.
I am working on a project, A college project. It's very important and difficult too.
i said
Okay. But You better not be cheating on me she said but I can feel a deep glare coming from her towards me.
That makes me the worst man on earth I said
I promise If you ever do that I won't forgive you Rhea said in a rather cold voice
Yeah if that ever happens, don't ever forgive me I said I know for sure if I did that she will be going to drag me on the road by pulling with a car.
After this conversation I sent Rhea into the bath I went back to my room, I noticed A missed call on my phone It was an unknown number and so, I called it back.
A few days later I was in the living room I felt thirsty so in order to drink some water I went to the kitchen.
Yonathan Rhea called me
WH...What? I looked back
Why are you acting strange lately?
What? I didn't , did l ? I asked
You always seem nervous, or more like you're unsettled Rhea said
Th....that's not true
Really?
Of course why do you think that?
Well fine, I think I'm going to be able to finish work around noon for the first time in a while if you'd like Do you want to go on a date? She said with a beamed smile and cherished voice
T... today? I started I don't expect to be today
of all day.
Yeah. I know that it's sudden, Are you busy? Rhea questioned in a good manner. It's not like she has a bad manner when she talks to me but I feel different today She is in a good mood.
Let's see .... today is a bit ....
Do you have a lot of work to do for college? She asked lightly scratching her eye brows looking into my eyes,
It's not but I'm a little busy. I looked away from her gaze
Hey, yonathan
Yes I said biting my lower lips inside
You really aren't cheating on me or anything, are you? A deep glare coming from her towards me with an anonymous pressure that I can't bear.
I'm not. I'm not . I Said with a panicked voice
Do you swear? She came closer to me, a sweat smell coming from her like a flower.
Of course, I swear I said
in panicked voice
In that case, good
she nodded her head in agreement.
Writer notes for reader
What do you think about male characters. He is pretty selfish doesn't he? He ignored his childhood friend for past years still keeping a secret from her. Isn't he pretty lame ? But what do you think if I change the narrator of the story up until now. I change the female character as a male character does this change the view? It's the story of a boy who becomes a famous model and his childhood friend distances him from her.
