When I woke up the first thing I noticed was that the woman I had spent the night with was pulling her shirt over her head.
I glanced at the alarm clock to my right to see that the time was almost nine in the morning. The bright morning light streamed in through the beige marl curtains that hung above the large windows.
I was lying on my bed, in my bedroom. The dark blankets that covered the queen sized mattress were scattered across the bed, and the floor.
I watched her as she continued to dress, putting her shoes back on, and the way the sun glanced off her pale skin, the way she moved. The woman, who had large chocolate brown eyes, and long wavy chocolate brown hair pulled her hair back with an elastic, and turned to see that I was awake.
"Where are you going?" I asked calmly, casually sitting up against the pillows. When I was with a woman I sometimes allowed room for small-talk, if I wasn't in a rush to get anywhere soon.
"I have to be at work in about twenty minutes." She replied picking up her bag off the floor. She turned brusquely, and headed out the door.
"Wait!" I called and suddenly scrambled out of bed, tangled in the mass of sheets. She turned abruptly about a foot away from the door to the hall of my complex. I had no idea why I didn't want her to leave. She was clearly ready to never see me again-I just wasn't sure if I was.
I jumped to my feet and rushed over to where she stood. "I didn't catch your name." I breathed hastily. Sometimes I liked to know the name of the woman I had spent the night with, just so that I wouldn't mix them up in case we ever spoke again, because some women I did become friends with, but this woman was different. I wasn't sure why it seemed so important to know her name, and I knew that knowing her name would make it harder to push my thoughts of her away.
"Bella," she replied and stepped out of the door.
"Bella," I repeated quietly to myself.
I was fed, washed up, and dressed within the hour. The thing I didn't understand was why Bella had to be at work on a Sunday. I worked as an accountant at a bank and worked from Monday to Friday. To me my schedule seemed pretty normal, but she made hers seem as if everyone worked on Sundays. Which was doubtful-that or I didn't socialize much.
I walked over to one of the large bay windows in my apartment. Living in New York City was amazing-if you had a good apartment like I did. Almost all the walls were covered in windows in my apartment, because when you looked outside the view was breath taking.
My apartment-I lived on the 10th floor-had an amazing view looking out onto the heart of New York City. I lived alone-the rest of my family lived in Chicago, and I would visit them on holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
My large apartment featured two bathrooms-one connected to the bedroom, and one in the main hallway. When first entered, only the doors to the bedroom, and the bathroom are visible. Once you reach the end of the hallways the main living area that connected to the kitchen.
In the middle of the living area was a large embroidered rug, and about a foot from the far left corner was a large grand piano. On the other side of the room was a HD television set with a black leather couch. The kitchen was brightly lit thanks to all the windows, with white marble counter-tops and dark cherry cupboards. The kitchen table was small and round with a few café chairs.
I turned to look at the piano, and strode over to it. I sat on the bench and rested my fingers gently on the keys. As I began to think of what to play a tune popped into my head. I let my fingers begin to play, my right hand repeatedly hitting high A, G, F, and E.
I let myself continue to play when Bella's face popped into my head. I began to visualise her there with me, her image dancing against my closed eyelids.
I pretended she was sitting next to me, listening to the song I played.
"This one is for you, Bella." I whispered softly.
