ZANDER
When I asked Shayla to spend more days with me on the weekend. She said yes even having dinner with her after school, it was all surreal to me.
There are many thoughts across my damn mind. But all I know that I want her to be near me every day. Spending our night's together takes me to paradise I really do not care.
It was not that weekend i want her but every day. All I want to do is see her beautiful face and beautiful smile. All my tiredness from meetings and other workings will go away if I am with her.
It has been two months since our set ups. I get used to her by my side. I am waiting for her to arrive from her school or work.
She just told me that she had a part time job in the Coffee Angels. After her classes and before classes. She said that it won't affect her studies.
A text from her, she will drop by to her dorm first to get some clothes for the weekend.
I occupied myself from cooking while waiting for her. I already prepared the table outside in the balcony.
I decided to have steaks for dinner and mixed veggies, wine, desserts too. Oh, I forgot the lasagna her favorite.
----
I looked at the clock on the wall. It was an hour passed and Shay still hasn't come. I was worried in a bit why she still not here yet. I done cooking the steak and some foods I already put it all in the table.
I almost walked to the center table in my living room to get my phone and call her when the elevator ding sound heard.
Shay walked out from it with her back pack and saw me smiling at her. She is really beautiful even without make up on.
"Hello gorgeous!" I kissed her lips longer and heard her stomach growled.
She laughed. "My unbelievable stomach is growling."
"Come on baby, let's eat." I took her back pack and placed it down on the couch.
She saw the dining table was empty and I laughed.
"Where?" I saw her face blankly.
"There," pointed out in the balcony. "I want us to have our dinner in the balcony and look at the surrounding even in the sky." I said and she clapped her hands. "Go ahead and I will bring the steak."
I know I spoiled her too much since we decided with this and I will always be grateful that I met her again. She walked towards the balcony.
"Oh, my goodness!" She exclaimed as she saw the settings and sat happily.
I giggled as to imaging her face with what she just discovered. Well, I did place new table in the balcony. I made it more pleasant to stay whenever we want and just gazing under the stars. I even turned on some love songs music as a background.
Getting the steaks from the kitchen I am overjoyed. Now I want to do it tonight I just hope she will approve. It was not just now I have been thinking as in deep thoughts about it. The results will always the same. I will do it now because it is so perfect.
Walking towards her with a tray in my hands. Carrying my steaks, placing it in front of her carefully.
"Wow, it surely does smells delicious, Finn. Gosh, I can't wait." She exclaimed, seeing her excitement face. Slicing the steaks for her so that she will just eat it right away.
"Well, go ahead, sweet pea. I made it delicious and special just for you." I smiled at her.
"Then, I will not hesitate." She gave me a big sweet smile. Shay took a bite as I watched her. "Hmmm... It is so good and tender and delicious." She gave a thumbs up. "Thank you!"
I smiled. "You are always welcome, babe." Taking a bite too. We were eating in silence. Feeling the love in the air. I prepared all this with a purpose.
We started talking about our day. What we were been doing? And other stuffs just like we always do. We always like this and I want it to know our whereabouts.
We cleaned up the table and washing the dishes together. This is one of the reasons I want to go home every night.
The purpose for this special dinner we had was for me. To make it sure what I really want. To figure it out what is going on with me.
I know Shayla is different from any women I met. We grew up together. We had sex couple of times. But this time I am talking about feelings.
I recalled myself after I left her for college. We were not in relationship but we were exclusively hooked up that time.
I may be confused but when we were far away from each other. I realized she was more than a friend with benefits. She was more than that.
However, I thought it was better to focus on other things than my feelings for her. It will not work if I pursue it because we were miles away. And it was blessing in disguise when my phone was lost.
I never stop thinking about her even I almost tried to ask my mom her number. But I erased that thought because she needs to grow up and find what she wants in life. Well, we both are.
We were still not ready yet. I was not ready for a long-distance relationship. It was too risky. I do not want to lose her if I insisted to be with a relationship with her.
I knew back then we both had something we feel like special. We both just could not speak about it. Maybe we both know the reason.
Long distance relationship will not work.
Now, I know being with her is my best moments I could feel and it is for real.
