Chapter 27
Imagine You, Imagine Me.After my lecture, I was greeted with a cup of hot chocolate and donuts.
“I got your favourite, almonds and Oreo” Kris handed the paper bag towards me. I manage to smile when I saw two of each.
“It’s your favourite as well” I said.
I thought about Kris last night. I realised that I should take in everything I could.
Even if I would get hurt tomorrow or maybe the next few days, I thought; let’s just enjoy the moment I have with Kris.
Kris smiled and took out one of the donuts and gave them towards me. I handed the paper bag over to him. “You look tired” I suddenly said without thinking.
Kris smiled again and ruffled my hair, “I was tired” He said. “But I’m not anymore.”
I pushed his hands so that he would stop messing with my hair. We both grinned and smiled like dorks.
“Do you want to go anywhere?” I asked.
“Not really, do you want to go somewhere?” Kris asked. I wasn’t really in the mood of going anywhere. I wanted to sit down and just relax. I shook my head. “Let’s just walk then” Kris said and took my left hand and holds them tightly. “I miss you, Lena. I really do”
“I miss you too” I finally admitted and glance at his face. He was smiling widely. In order to hide my blush, I hover the donut towards him. I didn’t know why I was blushing, usually I miss you is something natural.
Kris and I decided to walk over to a park where we sat on the grass, still hands clasped together.
“How is everyone at home?” I finally had the courage to ask.
“Everyone is fine. Okay, I guess” Kris answered.
“I’m glad” I nodded and continue eating the donuts.
“Everyone just misses you, Len” Kris continued, “It’s kind of different without you back home”
I never really thought I would make a difference. I always thought I blend in the crowd.
“You have to believe me when I say, you’re the reason why we are all friends” Kris said and turn towards me.
“Don’t say that” I said, it was awkward. I always thought I was the outsider, with no importance at all.
“But you are, so without you there, it’s weird” Kris continued and wiped something off my mouth. “Never change.” Kris said.
I only raised my eyebrows to indicate I didn’t understand the last bit.
“Never change, stay the way you are.” Kris smiled and rubbed my cheeks. I laughed a little at his sudden words.
“I’m still me, Kris” I answered.
“I know” He pulled me towards him. His left hand wrapped around my waist and right still intertwined with mine.
I smiled when I smell his scent, it was just like always. It was Kris’ scent. I missed that the most. I miss the comfort he gave me. I used to imagine us like this, close together, happy. I’m glad one of my imaginations came true. Kris was here next to me.
