Awaited Letters chapter two

A letter of fondness

Kai opened the door to his small apartment and let out a small groan.

Once again he had overloaded himself with work.

"Why couldn't I just refuse some of those pesky fishermen's offers?" He said to himself as he dumped his aching body on the ratty couch that inhabited the living room.

An uncomfortable silence filled the room, which made it quite dreary somehow. Suddenly the shrill melody of the doorbell eliminated the silence.

It continued for a few more seconds then ceased its bothersome ringing.

I pulled myself off of my dingy sofa and slowly pulled the doorknob, making the door give out an eerie groan when it was being opened.

Rolling my eyes, I tried to not be freaked out by the noise my door just emitted. My fingers twitched nervously, I was starting to wonder if this apartment was safe at night. Most of the time I had graveyard duty so I usually only slept here during the day.

But when I took a peek outside to see what was out there, my mouth opened in surprise. The letter wasn't supposed to be here until Wednesday. A small laugh escaped my throat as I picked up the envelope carefully. Small red hearts dotted the light bubblegum pink surface.

"Just like Popuri…"

I whispered silently.

I practically ran inside slamming the door in the process. Excitement bubbled up inside of me, my fingers killing to open the letter.

Finally I opened it, breathing in the fresh scent of rose perfume. Popuri always did have this habit of flooding her stationary with perfumes. She said it made them smell "Pretty." I just along with whatever she said, not wanting to make her upset.

When my eyes reached the dainty writing on the scented piece of paper, tears sprouted out of my eyes. God did I miss her. This is what she said.

Dear Kai,

You are just so sweet! Everything has been going fine down here in boring old Mineral Town. Except it was rather amusing the other day when Karen got Rick drunk. I really don't know how she managed that because usually Rick can hold his alcohol but this time he was all over the place. It was funny; I wish you could have seen it! Right now, the temperature is cooling down drastically since you have left. It seems even the weather is sad that you're gone! Okay sorry, that sounded really cheesy.

That would be positively wonderful if I could visit you for a few weeks! I would love to get a tan! For some reason, no matter how I try during the summer, I can never get one up here. I remain as pale as ever.

I look stunning in that swimsuit? Oh you're so sweet to tell me that! Now if I can visit you, I'll wear it every time I go to the beach with you! You bought me something? Ooohh! I can't wait to see what it is! I know I will like it, because it's from you! Anything from you is always perfect.

I wish you could tell me what it is, but I guess I'll have to wait until you send me that letter!

Mom is fine; she's resting upstairs right now. She wore herself out trying to cook an enormous pumpkin pie with Sasha. It was very funny looking. I don't think it tasted very good, because right when the mayor took a bite of it, he backed away and said he had some business to take care of. Hmm…I wonder what kind of business!

So you are going to take us all out on a picnic in the mountains? Mom will love that; besides that means I can spend some quality time with you.

Without being interrupted by my Irritating brother Rick. I know he means good, but still, he does get annoying when you have to actually live with him! I can't believe you see so many weird things in the city! I can't wait to get that picture. Then Ann and me can compare it to the Mayors picture!

I can't wait 'till Christmas! Oh I'll keep you warm all right…very warm.

You actually have a fur coat? Are they comfortable? I can't wait to see those either, but what I mostly want to see right now is you in person But like you said, a picture will have to suffice for now

But looking at you is so much better Kai. I miss you so much. Every time I wake up, my body is shaking in anticipation to see you again.

I will just pray that the months will fly by quickly so I can finally see you again!

Well, when you come back we are going to have so much fun, you will come home exhausted. But you better not be too tired because you still better have some time alone for me.

Ha-ha…just kidding, I won't tire you out all of the days, only some of them.

Kai I love you so much, every time I think of you coming back, my heart pounds against my chest. Some days I am afraid it might fly out!

Well, nothing else exciting has happened! Except me getting your letter!

Well, mom is calling me please don't forget me okay! And write back soon!

I love you so much,

Popuri

P.S. I'll make so many chocolate chip cookies for you that you will have gained twenty-five pounds by the end of Christmas break. No, I'm just kidding, but I will make a lot!

Love you again,

Popuri

My heart gave out a little flutter as I read the last part. I immediately grabbed a piece of paper and reached out for a pen. I started to write back, adding in all the small details I hadn't written in my last letter.

Hopefully, she would accept my gift. It was all I could give her.

A small smile grew on my face as I wrote. I was sending this first thing in the morning, first class.
