Hold you like a doll

Inbetween Days

I walk into the kitchen around 11 o'clock to get a glass of milk and see Robert making breakfast.
"Oh good morning!"
"Morning..."
"Are you feeling better again?"
I nod and continue my search for milk.

When I finally found it I search for a glass.
"Are you hungry?"
"No. Smells delicious tho."
I pour the milk in the glass and take a big sip.
Why does he look so worried?

"I'm going to the grocery store later. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yeah why not."
He smiles and I drink the rest of my milk.
I put the glass in the dishwasher and go back to my room.

In my room I decide to sit down at the big window and read a book.
I should shower.
But I lowkey really don't want to.
Fuck it.
I get up and put my book away.
After I decided what to wear I go to the bathroom.

Once I'm there I stare into the mirror as always.
My hair could need a trim.
Maybe I could do that now.
Something like a fresh new start with a new haircut.
Yeah let's do that.

I walk into the kitchen to search for a scissor.
God damn.
Doesn't he have any?
Robert walks in while he's speaking on the phone.
"Do you need something?"
"Yeah scissors."

He raises an eyebrow, opens a drawer and gives me one.
"Thanks."
"What's your plan?"
"Haircut."
He looks confused but then remembers that he's still on the phone.

Back in the bathroom I take off my shirt.
I start cutting my hair to shoulder length.
I'm almost done when Robert walks in and immediately turns around.

"Oh my gosh! Sorry! I should have knocked!"
"It's okay."
I put a towel around my chest and continue the trim.
He turns around again and observes my work.
"Let me help you."
"Yeah I know, it's not very straight."

He takes the scissors out of my hand and corrects the mess I've done.
After like 10 minutes he puts them away.
"Looks cute!"
He smiles and ruffles through my hair.

We clean up the bathroom and then I can finally shower.
His bathroom is poorly decorated.
That needs to be changed.
It's too empty.
I get in the shower and let the water run over me.
I'm too lazy to shower but once I'm in I love it.

After I'm done showering I put on a hoodie and shorts.
It's spring and the weather is slowly getting warmer.
I put my hair in a low ponytail and search for Robert around the house.

Finally I find him on the small balcony.
He's doing some paperwork.
"Here you are."
"Oh hey! Everything okay?"
"Yeah. I just wanted to ask when we're going to the store?"
"Gimme ten minutes."
I nod and sit down on the other end of the small table.

I rest my head on my hands while I study his face.
Every little feature.
How he furrows his brows.
The little wrinkles around his eyes when he thinks.
He sighs.

"Why are you staring at me?"
A slight blush forms on my face.
"I-I'm not staring! I was just- just looking or something..."
He laughs.
"Besides we can go now."
He smiles at me and brings his stuff inside the house.

"Do you want any specific food?"
"Not really just something green."
"Green? Like vegetables or just green food?"
"Just any green food really."
He laughs.
"That's cute!"
"Why?"
"I have no clue but I just think it is!"
I shake my head.
"You think everything about me is cute, huh?"
"Cause it's true."
He has a flirty tone in his voice then he starts laughing again.

„Would you be so nice and take a look if we've still got cheese?"
I nod and open the fridge.
"Not much."
He nods and writes it down on his little paper.
"Shall we go then?"
