I nervously twirled my mousey hair between my shaking fingers. When did things become like this? Were we always heading in this direction? I thought to myself as I let my hair go and reapplied my lip gloss making sure it was evenly spread. I gave myself a look over in my antique brass framed mirror and sighed in relief as I realised I looked okay. I checked my watch and I saw it was 6pm. You should be here any moment. And just like I thought I heard the doorbell resonate through the house and echo into my room. After a second of just standing still trying to gather my thoughts which scattered as soon as you rung the bell I ran downstairs as if I was super charged, eager to see you. Hesitating in front of the door I prayed that this night would be perfect and that nothing between us would change greatly. I didn’t want the innocent looks and the little games we would play to just disappear, and that any bit of normalness could be gone. I take a deep breath to ready myself and I slowly opened the door to see you standing there.
