EYES ON FIRE

After the “Housemate Breakdown 2015” Sana and Tzuyu 5th week cohabitating the same apartment got much smoother, and peaceful. Tzuyu still forgot about some of her chores, compensating it in the next day or so, to her usual schedule. Sana didn’t mind a little delay, but she was concern someday Tzuyu would just slack down like before. Their weekly chores plain were hanging on the fridge door. Tzuyu looked at the rainbow colored chart Sana made on her office. It was so gay and so adorable.

She knew that was Sana’s last week of her first trimester. She was doing some research, mostly on Google, as a way to prepare herself for the next changing in Sana’s body and behavior, they were very connected. She read some crazy stories on the internet, and some others who appeared to be more legit. Maybe it was time to buy some quality books on the subjective, like Sana suggested a while ago. So she researched about it too.

-------

It was the third day straight it was raining that week. And Sana was the real impersonation of a couch potato, wrapped up in a comfy blanket, lying lazily on the couch. She was watching a Doctor Who marathon, but not enjoying it too much. How was that even possible? She tried to watch some regular TV, but between the weather channel telling about the constant rain in all silly ways possible, and the news with terrible things happening in the world, she thought it was better to turn the TV off all together.

That was a slow week at the I Do Wedding Planning, Georgina insisted for her to stay at home, cause with the rain on top of everything, there was not much to do anyway. She slept until noon, and watch TV for 2 hours before taking another nap. Napping were a constantly thing in her routine now. She was glad to be her own boss, she would not have the opportunity to sleep in the middle of her work day in somebody’s else company, for sure. But after another 2 hour nap, and no will to watch any more TV, she was just bored.

In any other moment, she could text to Tzuyu, but her housemate was sleeping. Sometimes she hated Tzuyu’s schedules. When both of them had the day off, they only had a small window time of a couple of hours to be enjoyed without the other feeling tired or asleep. She could not complain to Tzuyu about this, of course not, they were just housemates. Yes, they were getting closer as the time passed, they get along very well, despise the occasional teasing and silly fights (which was not bad either) but that’s all they were. Friends.

 
She admitted how would be nice if they were something more than friends. Tzuyu was so beautiful. Inside and out. She was always doing little things to please Sana, like bring some candy from the drugstore alleging she got it for free cause it was about to expired (and was not really), letting her choose first what they were going to watch, never getting really mad when she had all the reasons to be. Not to mention the bigger things too. Like all the moving, the dress fitting, that day she took them to the lake. Tzuyu was really a wonderful person, even with all of her flaws. Even when she mocked herself for her undergraduate degree, or her lame job. It was a shame sometimes how Tzuyu could not see how capable and smart she was.

 
But even with all of that, Sana could not expect Tzuyu would look at her in any other way than in the friendly way. She was expecting a child, for God’s sake. She was about to be a single mother. Who on earth would like to get involved with someone like her? She had a very heavy baggage, so heavy that even her 5 years girlfriend was not willing to carry with her. Someone who loved her so much and for so long. Why Tzuyu, a person she knew for a few months, would even think about her in any other way? Who would like to compromise her life in a such young age to be involved in an almost formed family? The answerer: nobody.

 
Tzuyu, like Georgina, and Nayeon, were being nice to her because they were nice people, good people. They would never turn their backs to the sorrow pregnant single friend. Of course not. So, yeah, it would be amazing to be more than friends with Tzuyu. But that would never happen. That was material for Fairy Tales. She knew a long time ago how they were nothing but fiction.

 
Sana sighted, her mind was going to unthinkable places again. The less she thought about Tzuyu in any other way, the better. She decided to look at real estate web sites, looking for her permanent apartment. She had everything planned when she was living with Dahyun, but she didn’t predict the cost of another place and the loss of Dahyun’s paycheck. This was another problem she would have to solve before her baby was born. And after another frustrated hour looking at small or too expensive places, she was getting a very annoying head ache. She looked at the kitchen and decided to do something else.
