Another World. A love story. 14.

Monique’s P.O.V

“You seem chipper this morning.” Dad greeted me, as I walked into the kitchen, a smell of fried onion, and scrambled eggs wafted through the air. I took a glimpse of my reflection on the microwave glass, my hair was an absolute mess, I almost went back to my room to fix my appearance it was that bad.

“Chipper? Dad really?” I asked him, with a laugh in my voice.

Dad handed me a plateful of food, it was strange having a family breakfast, we haven’t really had one of these since Mum passed on.

 “What? You do know you had a massive grin on your face when you came out of your room this morning, anything to do with a certain gentleman caller last night?” he pried, he thought he was ever so funny, with that remark.

“Maybe I was just excited to eat all this food, ever thought about that Mr?”

“Doubt it.” He laughed at me, while adding an unhealthy amount of salt to his meal.

“This is really good dad, I never knew you could cook, perhaps on the nights we don’t have stir fry, we can have breaky dinners.” I teased; he just whacked me on the back of my head, playfully.

When we had finished eating, I assisted with the dishes, while Dad was suiting up for work, I couldn’t stop smiling, no matter how hard I tried. I didn’t stop when I went for a shower, I didn’t stop when I watched the morning news, nor did I stop when I went back to my bedroom. I absolutely did not stop when I checked my phone either.

From: Liam.

Morning xx

 

He used two kisses.

Two!

I started to freak out right there in my room; dad had left for work already so it didn’t even matter.  I replied as quickly as my phone would let me.

To: Liam.

Good day to you xx

 

I returned the kisses.

I felt like I was floating on top of the world, sure we aren’t dating I don’t even know what he looks like, I’m hoping he doesn’t turn out to be a creep, but for now, he is my new friend. My new male friend who also happens to have an incredibly sexy phone voice.

From: Liam.

What are your plans for today?

 

To: Liam.

I thought I would stay home, and stick on a movie.

 

From: Liam

Sounds intense ;)

 

To: Liam

I know right

 

 

From: Liam.

I think I am doing the same actually.  So I shouldn’t make fun.

 

To: Liam.

You definitely shouldn’t then Mr!

 

From: Liam.

Mr makes me sound old haha

 

To: Liam

How old are you?

 

From: Liam.

20. You?

 

To: Liam.

19.

 

We continued to text for the majority of the morning, he really is a decent guy, we decided we would watch the same movie at the same time, so it would be like we were watching it together, silly I know but hey it was fun!

We finally discovered a movie that both of us owned which was…..Spiderman 3, an old favourite of mine actually.

The home phone rang, I jumped up to answer it, before Liam started his movie, I secretly was hoping the person would go away so I could watch the film already!

“Hello?” I answered suspiciously

“It’s me, Liam.” That sexy voice melted into my ears, I could feel my whole body suddenly cover with goose bumps.

 “Hey you, I wasn’t expecting your call” I told him, taking my seat back on the lounge chair.

“You got your popcorn ready?” he laughed, his laugh sounded amazing, it made me want to be funny forever just so I could constantly hear it.

“Alright Monique, are you ready to start the film?” he asked in a more serious tone.

“Ready.”

I could hear him sticking the disc into the player, I already had mine in, from before the call.

“Ok, me too, on your marks, get set, and play” I pushed play as soon as he said the word, at first I couldn’t tell whether he had turned his on yet, but when he turned the volume up, I could hear the very same movie being played.

“I think it worked” he observed

“Yay”

“Did you want me to go? Or would you like me to stay?” he asked me politely.

“Stay” was my quick response, I realised I probably sounded desperate, so I quickly added. “Unless you want to go”

“No I’ll stay.” He decides, and we watch the film together. Let me tell you that this was one of the weirdest experiences I have ever had, but I loved it. Every time he laughed, every time he tried talking to the characters, it was almost as if we were actually together, I felt lonely sitting her in my living room by myself.
