"Uh, o-okay mom. I'll get it in my room, you can hang up once I get on." I stutter while walking back to my room hearing my fast heartbeat in my ears. I shakily pick up the phone, because I was just so excited.
"Hello?" I say into the receiver and I hear my mom hang up in the kitchen.
"Hi my love." I hear the voice I've been missing for the past 24 hours. I know it had only been a day but still, I missed him like crazy.
"Hi! It's so good to hear your voice!" I say in a happy tone.
"You too, love. So how're you?" he asks me.
"Uh, I'm okay I guess. How are you?" I stutter again, and answer him uneasily, not sure of what to say.
"Ah just okay? I'm okay too." he says with a weak laugh and sounds a bit concerned. Am I actually okay, is that the word to describe how I'm feeling and how I am right now, because I don't know if it is. Nobody ever says "I'm horrible, I'm a wreck", when somebody asks how you are and I especially, because I keep a lot to myself.
"Yeah.." I mutter, honestly not knowing what to say. I wonder where he's calling from. "Wait shouldn't he be on his flight right now?" I think to myself, but I have no way of knowing for sure because I don't know when his flight was at, other then sometime this morning.
"How was your day sweetheart?" he asks me. I wish he wouldn't of asked that, what am I supposed to say? I don't want to lie to him, but I can't say that it was horrible and I'm so relieved school is over for the day.
"It was fine I suppose, like any other school day. How was yours?" I answer finally, leaving out how today was a wreck and how I cried in the bathroom because I missed him so much.
"My day was alright, really boring though. I've been inside all day, not having much to do." he says and I don't understand what he meant.
"Inside all day?" I question him confused.
"Oh yeah, I have great news! Our flight got delayed till tomorrow sometime because of the bloody snowstorm." he says to my surprise and I can hear the smile in his voice.
"It did?! That's great, haha I mean well you know what I mean." I say with a laugh and just hearing what he said had instantly changed my mood.
"Haha I agree love, it is! So what're you doing?" he asks me.
"Writing a report on some book for English." I mutter with a groan.
"Ooo it sounds like you're having loads of fun! Um how about you meet me at the cafe? An excuse so you won't have to finish that bloody report." he says with a laugh and I throw my books on the ground, jumping at the opportunity to see him and to also not be stuck in my room doing homework.
"Yeah, that sounds superb! Meet you there in hmm, 15 minutes?" I ask him and I'm already so excited to see him.
"Alright love, I'll see you in 15! Bye love."
"Bye Paul!" I say and hang up the phone. I change into a nicer outfit, because I was previously in my comfy pajamas and i get my bag and leave the house to head for the cafe. Thank you so much snowstorm.
