CHAPTER 3: Amazement
What a strange day... Robert asked me out once again... but this time I accepted. When did he stop being such a pain in the ass with me and start behaving normally...? "Or dare I say lovingly?" I know he fancies me, but why this sudden change of behavior? Or maybe not so sudden...After that day, he wasn't the same... Maybe because we opened to each other. Yes, after that day everything changed! I told him about Mark, he told me about his past... I told him my fears and he told me his. He changed after that, he stopped bossing me around and started smiling "Uh and what a warm smile...". And he changed with the others too. Not as much as with me but he smiled at them too. But not a warm smile... it's more like a polite smile, like a "I have to yell at you but it's for your own good" smile. And today he kissed me. I never thought that that mouth could be so sweet, so soft... and his kiss, such a tender yet passionate one. That man is full of surprises. In one month I found out about him more things then in the five years we spent together. He really is a sensitive man, not a "crazed cyborg" like the people at County thought. Shame on you Lizzie for thinking that about him! Am I starting to enjoy this "nickname" that he gave me?
"Lizzie." She said up loud as she turned on her left side and stared at the window. Soon she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier until she couldn't keep them open and slowly fell into a sweet sleep.
I kissed her today... Wow! It felt noting like what I imagined. This was way better! And tomorrow I'm taking her to a party AS MY DATE! Double wow! I fell like a teenager... I forgot how well it felt to have butterflies in my stomach! Her lips felt like silk and I can still taste her kiss on my lips! I fell like I have some sort of fog in my mind. Like I'm drunk... That's it, I'm drunk with her image, I'm drunk with the sweetness of her kisses. She acted so natural, like we are old lovers... She will never seize to amaze me...! I have to clear my thoughts or I'll never be able to get some sleep again after tonight!
"A shower might just do the trick..." he said as he got up and ran upstairs. "And a shave... If I feel young I might as well look young too. No more beard!" he added as he saw his image in the mirror and then rubbed his bald head "If I can't do anything about the hair..." After taking a cool shower he went straight into bed. Sitting there rolled on his back he remembered the picture of Ella and Elizabeth and closed his eyes so the image would persist in his mind until he falls asleep.
Yes this is a short chapter but I wanted then to be able to express their feelings openly! TBC! R&R!
