It's loosely based on Twilight, no original characters so far...
It's Sunday night, and I'm in my usual spot, at my computer following everyone's lives on social media. I'm kind of lonely, and I don't get out much, oh and my best friends are my fish. I roll my eyes as another person posts: Turns out I'm going to be a Mummy again! It's probably the 5th pregnancy announcement that I've seen this month, and It's barely halfway through the month... My Skype pops up and my eyes light up:
Frank: Hi you.
Abbie: Hey.
Frank: How are you feeling today?
Abbie: I'm better, after watching the end of HIMYM last night, I'm still letting out tears!
Frank: I wish I could have watched it with you, and kept you company.
Abbie: Don't tempt me, please.
I met Frank through a mutual Facebook group a few months back, and have been speaking most days since then, I feel like we have known each other forever. It's a distance friendship, I live in England with my roommates, and since Franks parents split up a few years back, he has lived in France and his Mother remarried and relocated with him.
Frank: My Mum wants to come back to England to see my Grandparents soon. I want to see you as well.
Abbie: But you're still miles away from me, I don't drive and I don't want you going out of your way.
Frank: I have to meet you soon, I want you so bad.
Abbie: I want you as well, do you want to Skype call?
Abbie is calling...
We spoke for a few hours, this is our usual evening routine, talking about anything and everything. We have never video chatted but we spoke over Skype call every day, getting closer and closer.
Call has ended.
Frank: Do you always give yourself to people that easily?! ;)
Abbie: Shhhh, I was trying to be quiet, I didn't want my roommate to hear me having skype sex!
Frank: But she heard you last time, you weren't exactly keeping your moans in, haha.
Abbie: On that note, I'm going to sleep. It's 1 am already!
Frank: One day I promise we will go to sleep together and wake up together.
Abbie: Maybe one day. Goodnight cutie xxxx
Frank: Night :) xxx
I turn off my computer, and look over to my king size bed and sigh, wanting the same thing every time I go to sleep. I take my glasses off, and my long red hair touches the middle of my back as I tie it off in a bun, and I get into the shower. I feel the warm water touch my face and body, I go in a trance thinking about the first time we and Frank will meet. I hear a voice and a knock at the door.
"Abbie, I know you love your long showers, but I need to go to the toilet!" Katie's strained voice seems desperate.
"I'm coming out!" I get out of the shower, wrap a towel around me and open the door smiling at her.
"Abbie, you keep me awake half the night talking to the online boyfriend who is probably an old 70-year-old man!" She glares at me.
"Kate, he is 23, the same age as me, have some faith please!" I shrug her doubts out of my head and walk past her, into my room. He is 23, I know he is. I picture his short black hair, his beard hugging his face. I smile to myself, throwing my night shirt on, getting into bed and falling asleep.
This is my first story in years, if anyone reads it and likes it, I will keep posting other chapters, otherwise, i'll keep them to myself! Ignore spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes. Thank you!
