7. Come Back To Me

Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing good. This is a repost of something I did for my other book Snaps. I'm sorry but I'm not feeling so good today, combined with the heavy work load, I wasn't able to finish my update. So I'm putting this instead. Also dino days are the pits. 😣😫😭
Anyway, I hope you like this too. 😊💚

It's one of those real bad days. It's the time of the month and the dinosaur attacks are relentless. She was curled up, head pounding, with every bit of muscle hurting, feeling nauseous, and the gloomy weather outside isn't helping a bit. She was feeling miserable, alone, truly exhausted, world-weary and bone tired, physically, mentally and emotionally. All she wanted to do is curl up under the comforter and not come out til at least after a year. Maybe the world would have come to an end by then and right now, she really wouldn't mind. She reached for the remote of the radio hoping that some random station music would distract her, either that or lull her to sleep.

🎶Don't say goodbye
It's hard to let you go
Tomorrow seems so far away for me to know
If you and I will always be in love forevermore
Don't leave me with just memories
Today I heard our favorite song on the radio
I closed my eyes and saw our first hello
And then I saw the time we fell in love in each others' arms
I open my eyes and you were gone🎶

She then reached out for her phone, thinking of browsing through some funny youtube videos to divert her attention from the gnawing pain in her insides. She accidentally pressed on the first video on top of her yt screen. Lo, it was a random episode of kalye serye! It was one of her "pregnant" episodes where he was massaging her back that is supposedly aching from "carrying" their baby twins. She stares at his face, that handsome smile and gentle yet strong hands that once was her refuge. A tear fell from her eye without her even noticing it.

🎶Suddenly I realized how I love you so
And how I can't survive without your love
Since the time we'd say goodbye
It's hard for me to stay
How I wish you'd never go away
Don't say goodbye
It's hard to let you go
Tomorrow seems so far away for me to know
If you and I will always be in love forevermore
Don't leave me with just memories
All alone🎶

Truth be told, she misses him. Terribly. At times like these, he knows how to take real good care of her. Without saying anything or asking if she needs it, he'll bring it and do it. He would not laugh if he finds her crying over shampoo commercials, he would not raised an eyebrow if he finds her eating out of the tub of margarine by the spoonful. He would not wrinkle his nose if he comes in and the bedroom smells like a heady conconction of Efficascent Oil and Omega Pain Killer combined to ward off her headache, nausea and back pain. He would bring her hot soup, he would massage her head and back, he would eat ice cream with her, he would pat, tap, press and even sit on her abdomen firmly to help ease the pain. Those things he would do. No questions asked.

🎶Today I read your letters
And waited for your call
I wondered if you think of me at all
Again I turned the radio on and heard our favorite song
And then I knew you'll soon be coming home🎵

She suddenly find herself scrolling through her picture gallery. There sits their private selfies and pictures, known only to the two of them. A whole bunch of them by the hundreds that she can't find in her heart to delete or even transfer for archiving. There's a funny one where he was picking her nose, another one where she was sticking her fingers in his ears, a good one where she was snuggled in the crook of his neck almost falling asleep, and this one where he had his arms wrapped around her and she was hugging him back and they were kissing. It was the last good one before they had the big fight. She felt sudden pangs in chest that for a moment there she thought she was having a mini heart attack. It fuckin' hurts like hell. The dam broke and the onslaught of tears came unbidden.
