I had the lit cigarette in between my fingers as I leaned against the cupboard.

I breathed out the smoke from my mouth as I was thinking.

I knew that Tom would be sensitive with talking about his past, which made it hard.

I could still hear the water run down from the shower head inside the bathroom.

Suddenly I heard someone open the door from the room to the right of the kitchen. The door creaked, me and Bill looked at it.

I could see her long blonde hair stick out from the door as she was fully dressed.

Mary now stood at the doorway. Her long hair laying down on her lower back. She was wearing a black sweater sitting tightly against her waist. She had a white flowy skirt underneath, exposing her thighs a bit. But her socks and boots covering her knees. I adored how she put on cute outfits no matter what. I had always loved fashion. But it was 8am, how was she not tired? But that didn't matter,
She looked awesome with her earrings dangling in the sun.

Her face light up as she saw me on two feet.
I was surprised as she came running towards me with a sweet smile.

"Are you feeling alright?" With a sympathetic face.

"Yeah I'm just fine!" I replied softly.

I felt warm as people were now treating me so kindly. I knew they cared for me, which made me attach to them more. I didn't know Mary that well but I could sense that I already loved her, her soul was just too sweet.

I also felt more safe when another girl was here, it felt like she could be on my side more and understand me.

She held my hands gently while speaking to me.

"I'm glad you're okay" she said before grabbing me into a hug.

She was warm and comforting.

Her arms were around my neck and mine now around her waist since she was taller than me.

I felt as they all were more careful now after.. the night at the club.

I still couldn't stop thinking about it. It made me want to cry and give up from that feeling, but I didn't.

She let go of me as she went to grab a glass of water.

She poured water into the cup from the sink.

I looked at her hands, they were slim and long. Her nails were dark red and pointy. She was so clean and organised, maybe she used to be some sort of model? She was tall and had a figure for it.

I crushed the cigarette onto a plate that stood beside me on the cupboard. I usually didn't smoke a lot, but whenever I did, it made me think of other things, to calm me down. Plus everyone else around me did so.

I continued to watch her every move. I didn't know why, she was just interesting.
I noticed something on her ring finger, just below her silver ring. I couldn't quite figure out what it was, but it was for sure a tattoo. It was small and hard to see the shape.

I came a but closer as I know was able to see what it was. It was a circle with a line and a dot in the middle. It was unique.

"I like your tattoo" I smiled while leaning against the cupboard with my hands.

"Oh yea" she laughed it off while covering it with her ring.

I gave her a confused look but I didn't think about it.

I had a tattoo on my inner thigh, it was a half moon with a small star besides it. I had got it when I turned 18, when I still lived in the uk.

My birthday was on June 12, so I was 19. Bill and Tom was still 20 but their birthday was just in a week. I knew their birthday, I had remembered it since it stood on the calandre.

I wondered if Tom remembered my birthday since 2007. Now that I thought about it, I had known Tom for 3 years without even knowing. And I still didn't know everything about him.

I looked over at Bill. And I knew that he also had tattoos. I think that it's interesting how each people has a unique tattoo and often a meaning behind it. Their own kind of permanent mark on their body that no one else has.

Bill also had a few piercings, which I found cool.

He had one on his eyebrow and nose. It was those small characteristics I loved on people. His eyes and hair were sharp and dark, but his soul light and sweet.

But Toms body was clean. He did have a piercing on his bottom lip tho. He even used to have that in 2007. It was one of the first details I found on him.

Suddenly the door from the bathroom unlocked, my head twisted towards the door.

I saw Tom walk out with a towel around his waist, exposing him topless.

He didn't have any tattoos on his chest or arms.

His black hair dripping down on his chest. Damn.

He was just angelic.

I couldn't stop staring at him.

He walked towards us while I still leaned against the cupboard.

He got closer to me while my eyes was stuck to him.

I looked up at him while feeling embarrassed that both Mary and Bill was there.

He was so close to my face that I didn't have time to think.

"Wooow get some clothes on first" Bill giggled.

I laughed as I pushed Tom off me jokingly.

He smiled before walking up the stairs.

"What was that!" Mary said with a shocked face while smiling.

"Oh shut up" I laughed.
