Vanilla Twilight (chp.2)

Chapter 2

"A sealed promise could only be broken by fate and even so, it stays with an undying true love."

The electric kettle produced a ‘tick’ sound as the water boils to its maximum temperature. An instant sachet of Cadbury hot chocolate was poured inside that favourite mug of yours, the one you gave me as a present which has a yummy design motive with a ‘Hot Chocolate Princess’ wordings in a chocolaty font. Yeah, that one mug fits me perfectly considering my high craving on hot chocolate is way too uncontrollable. So, you have crowned me as the princess of hot chocolate and, you and I both seems to like it! Another reason to add to your liking is that you always think I would look cute sipping my favourite hot drink with it.

Sitting calmly on the comfy couch while hugging my legs, I was all eyes through the windows, watching the rain pouring down from the cloudy sky. I took a gentle sip from my mug, letting my taste buds to feel the sweet delicate taste of chocolate. “I’m here, waiting for you. For always, waiting for you to come back home. You have promised me you will.” From where I was sitting, I could see the entrance door. It was shut tight and locked as if no one was allowed to enter unless that someone is you. I still wish you would come back to the apartment through that one and only entrance door, like you did before and I’ll be smiling wide knowing that I shouldn’t be afraid on being alone anymore because you were finally here to stay beside me in the dark.

It is typical for him to come home late at night, after going through a hard days’ night on working as a full time Rock star. But it is at home where he found peace and there would be an angel expecting his arrival. The second he stepped his foot at the apartment and right when his eyes were catching a glimpse on Annika, he felt he was no longer a Rock star more like a devoted lover who’s very much in love with a lovely lady who awaits upon his arrival every single night. He knew that he belongs to her at that moment, and no one could take him away from her as he wouldn’t let it be, so.

“Baby, you still awake?” Said the rock star while he settled himself inside, hung his trench designer’s coat, throw his Audi car keys and walked straight ahead to greet me with a kiss on the forehead.
“I miss you.” I faked an upside down smile just to get his attention but indeed I was missing him like a lot since it was so hard to find him at home especially when he is busy with his band new album promotion.
“What? You miss me?” He just smiled and bent down to face me on the couch just to dance his fingers gently on my face. “I was just out for a day, my lovely. You don’t have to miss me too much.” His tone of voice was lowered which ignites his romantic side.

“It took me, a very long hour to see your face back, here.” There goes my frown again, with a sip on the hot chocolate, I pulled my eye sight away from seeing him, only to let him know I was sulking.
He landed himself close next to me, on the empty spot of the couch. “Aww..baby, don’t look away now. At least, I’m already here right? It’s worth the wait.” He tried to cheer me with his ever so working charms, while putting his arms around me which warms me up on that cold night.
I kept sipping my hot drink, didn’t ever bother to look at my precious rockstar who seemed to pull me even closer, avoiding any gaps between us as much as possible. “I can’t wait for you, forever. It will be a crucial torture for me, love.”

He then stroked my chin and turned my face to him. Our eyes met and he began to sink me in his daze, looking into my eyes as deeply as he could. “I don’t ask you to wait, if you wanna go, I’ll let you go.” And a soft peck kiss was given to my lips. “Because no matter what happens, in the end, I will be right where I belong which is beside you forever.” He just pulled an irresistible smile which immediately, driven me to pull his neck and let my lips do the magic.

His words were honest and true, pleasant enough for my ears to have a listen and my heart to be touched by. But words are only words, it is fate that we have to rely on. Some promised words spoken couldn’t be all true as it will die out if the ending of your story is pretty much different from the Cinderella’s fairy tale.
“Now that you’re gone, will you still be here by my side? Truthfully, I wish I could see your face instead to just feel that your soul is somewhere near and close. I miss your touch, my love.”
