Away From You

"Outside?" I was dumbfounded, not sure if I heard him right. And I felt a strange sensation in my stomach, something that I've been experiencing a lot recently.

This may seem strange but I swear that I could hear the smile from his voice when he answered me. "Yes. Outside."

I sprinted towards the window and my jaw dropped when I looked out to see him leaning against a car while holding his phone to his ear. "Since when have you been standing there?!"

"Hm?" He looked up then waved with a bright smile when he saw me. "Since I called you."

This might sound really cringey, but that smile just brightened my morning as effectively as the sun that was peeking through the clouds which can also be seen from my window.

It might even put the latter to shame.

'Haile stahp eet!' I reprimanded myself and tried to look at something else to distract myself.
