The next day I woke up late, it was almost noon. I looked around the room and at my body. I was naked under the sheets. I quickly walked out of the bed to my clothes which were neatly folded and was put on the table beside the bed. By the time I was finished with dressing, Tyler walked into the room.
Hey! I thought you were still sleeping. Since you’re up, how about I make something for you to eat?
Ugh!
What’s wrong? You don’t look good, are you okay?
Tyler hastily ran towards me.
It's my head. It's like someone is hitting it with a hammer.
That's a hangover you get if you chug all that wine down at once, doll.
He was mocking me. When I looked at him, all the things, we did last night flashed in front of my eyes. I turned my eyes away, placing both my hands on my head and started whimpering in pain.
I will make some coffee for you. It will help with easing the pain a little.
He walked out of the room and came back with two coffee mugs and sat beside me on the bed.
As he handed me the coffee mug, he placed a kiss on my forehead, that kiss made me feel all fuzzy inside. We didn’t speak until we finished the contents of the cup. I was the first to speak.
Can you hug me, Tyler? I think I need a tight hug.
Of course, doll. In fact, the pleasure is all mine.
His body was warm, and he smelled like soap, did he take a shower? We didn’t talk, but it was not awkward but comforting. In his little bedroom where the only light was from the sun which was projecting all different colours because it was passing through stained glass windows. We could hear our breaths, it was comforting silence. I have never hugged anybody before, I have always longed for intimacy. My parents were affectionate, but they were not the type to hug people, they mostly kept a safe distance. I like it when people hug me, hold my hands and kiss me to show their affection. This hug was all I needed, I guess.
Umm… [Tyler]
What is it?
Are you okay, do you feel pain anywhere? Umm... Will you be able to walk?
At the end of his question, I chuckled and said aren’t you overestimating yourself.
Well... last night someone was crying their eyes out...mph.
I place my hand over his mouth shouting “Stop! Don’t discuss it”.
Well, then did you enjoy it?
I didn’t answer him. He looked at me with a smile, pulling me closer to him and started placing kisses all over my face.
When I heard my phone ringing, I broke from his hug and picked up my phone to see it was a reminder. I have promised my dad that I will make a video call today.
Tyler, I need to call my dad.
Okay, you can have the room all for yourself.
No, I have to do a video call. Can you please give me a ride to my apartment because my dad might call me anytime now.
When I opened the apartment door, I was startled mille was sitting on the sofa and staring at the door. I thought she was not there, I said hello to her and ran into my room and immediately got on line with my dad. The phone call has continued for 2 hours or so, I guess. I was tired, after the call ended, I lay down on the bed staring at the ceiling. Thinking of all the things that happened in the past few months I have moved out and how things changed so quickly. I made new friends, got a boyfriend, it was fun and all, but am I really happy? I thought I would be happy if I got friends and being sociable, but I still feel hollow inside.
