So It's Still You

Chapter 16

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Janine's POV

Hey gorgeous, are you still up for tonight? Just wondering.... Maybe we can have some movie or something. What do you think? :)

That's Adam's text message to me about an hour ago. I still haven't replied yet. I wasn't sure about this day. I feel like there's something bad that will happen. My phone beeped again for the nth time.

Babe? You there? Please reply :( I'm anxious. I don't mind if you'll say no.

I scribbled a simple text message saying, Yeah. Still here. It's a great night to spend it with you. How about movies? Or something casual I guess. Formal dinners are gonna kill me :(

And sent! He replied seconds after I sent my message saying, Sounds great. How about movies in my place? Or we could go out if you want.

Me: No, no, no. We're not going out. I hate going outside although it's fun. My feet are going to kill me. Movies in your place.
Him: Movies it is. And lots of cuddles.
Me: Lots of cuddles?
Him: Just kidding babe. Just be prepared this 7:30. I'll fetch you there and have some clothes pack. We'll have some 'sleepover' ;)
Me: A sleepover? Just for tonight?
Him: Yes. If you want to make it two nights, then I won't say no. Maybe we can have sleepovers forever. Just kidding. Go start packing babe. I can't wait to see you.

I smiled at his last text. I love this part of Adam where he could be so sweet and charming. I went to my walk in closet and started packing my things. A grey sleeveless top and white shorts for later, a comfy nightgown, pants, some tees and other important necessities. I placed everything inside my turquoise colored backpack. I looked at the clock on my bedside table and found out it's still 2:48 pm. Time can always fly fast. Since I have nothing to do, I changed my clothes and went out.
