I shot up, panting softly as I tried to catch my breath. I clung to my covers and after a short while, groaned and burrowed back under them. She never left me alone...I mused absently. It was always the same place, although that was the first time she had been so bold.
Eventually I got out of bed, stretching and trying to straighten out my hair, which had taken the appearance of a birds nest. I walked sleepily to my closet and looked through it, humming in thought. I picked out a light blue blouse, and a skirt just a shade darker. I paired it with white stockings and some white flats and smiled at the cute result.
I ran a brush through my dark brown hair, and smiled as it flowed down my back, it had gotten longer over time, till it came to rest on my waist.
I then stretched and after making my bed, left my room to venture downstairs, sighing lightly. I saw my mother in the kitchen, humming as she went over yet another new catalogue, murmuring to herself as she browsed.
I shook my head, knowing over the next few days she would have ordered many new things that we would never use.
I smiled and walked over to her, hovering near her elbow as I coughed to make my presence known to her. She jumped and glanced at me, smiling at me with a cheerful expression before putting down the catalogue to hug me.
"Good morning dear, bout time you got out of that pit!" she giggled gayly to me, her eyes sparkling. I sighed lightly, a ready smile on my face. "thanks mother..." I murmured to her, before pulling out of her embrace.
She pouted lightly, sighing before smiling again "so, off out anywhere hun?" she asked with a curious look.
I nodded and smiled, feeling slightly more cheerful as I said to her "Hai, I am off to meet Garry at the cafe near mayberrow avenue."
She seemed to light up and nodded, glancing me over to make sure I looked well dressed. She had an odd habit where if she knew I was off to meet Garry she would always make sure I looked nice...although I have no idea why.
I just nodded and quickly hugged her, then backed away. I turned around and headed for the door with a slight smile, opening it and slipping out onto the porch. I walked out and closed the gate behind me, setting off down the empty street, feeling exited to meet Garry once more.
After a short while I came up to the cafe and smiled, walking in. My gaze set on a tall purple haired man was sat in one of the chairs, gazing awkwardly around before his gaze set on me. He smiled widely and gestured me over, to which I happily complied.
I went over smiling and sat next to him, and grinned when he started to chatter excitedly to me. He was wearing his usual ragged, coat, although he still protested that it was fashionable, and a blue shirt with jeans. His hair had grown quite a bit, and he tied it in a simple strip of ribbon.
He was going on about his new painting which he had worked hard on.
I smiled happily, since the gallery, Garry got into art, and he found he had a talent for it, which made me happy. i was glad one good thing came out of that gallery other than our friendship. I smiled and spoke happily to him "thats wonderful Garry-san, may I see it?"
H smiled and nodded before looking at me thoughtfully. "Ib..." he said sweetly, puppy eyes coming into show. I gulped with a wary look, sighing lightly. "yes..." I asked curiously.
He smiled and clasped his hand together. "well, I've been thinking, can we...well, If you feel ready, I really feel ready, go back to the gallery? just for a day!" he added quickly.
I blinked and my face paled as i looked at him. I breathed in deeply and gulped, smiling slightly at him. "I...guess so, It can't really hurt...right?" I asked softly with a curious look.
He grinned and hugged me, making me blush with the closeness. But I just smiled lightly, sighing. It couldn't hurt...right?
