FOR YOU (PT.2)....

Ayden woke up by his phone's ring. He rubbed his eyes and removed the blanket from his body and picked up the phone.

"Hello!!"

"Hey Ayden you slept well son?"

"Yes dad, you going to sleep?"

"Yes I just took my medications, then I thought I should call you, now I can sleep without any tension".

"Yes dad sleep well".

He put off the call, stretched his hands up and went towards the bathroom. He rushed and showered and dressed up.

He stood in front of the mirror and said to himself, "Let's find Cora now!!"

He locked his room's door and went out to find his lover. He booked a cab and gave Cora's address to the driver. After 30 minutes , the cab arrived in front of a building. A old person was getting down from the stairs.

"Excuse me sir but can please tell where is this apartment?", Ayden took out his phone and showed the text message to him.

"It's the last apartment on the second floor, she is a very girl her aunt is hospitalizes right now, I don't think you'll get to see her now, she left an hour ago to meet her aunt".

"Oh she left to see her aunt?"

"Yes because I asked her about her aunt."

"Ok sir thank you!", Ayden smiled and nodded. The old man also smiled towards him and left.

Ayden thought that Cora will be late cause she have to take care of her aunt, so why explore a little.

He crossed the road and saw a small café. He entered and ordered a café latte to take away.

He occupied a table for himself and sat there. He picked up a magazine from the paper rack and was going through when the worker called his name to pickup his take away.

"Thank you!"

"Have a good day sir".

He exited the café and roamed around for 20 minutes and came back to check if she was there or not. He noticed that Cora's apartment door was closing. Without any further ado he went upstairs towards her apartment. He knocked on the door. He was giggling like a 13 year old boy in love who just travelled from New Orleans to Japan to meet his girl friend. He knocked again, Cora answered from inside

"Coming, wait please."

Cora opened the door and said , "Yes !" , without noticing his face.

"I have some work with the owner".

"Wh…", she looked at his face and she was surprised and flustered by his sudden approach to her home.

Ayden smiled at her, she was so happy that she couldn't help crying. She hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't reply any of your texts and your calls".

He hugged her back and caressed her head.

"Shhhsshh!! Don't cry! Are you gonna cry on your doorstep or gonna invite me in?"

She broke the hug and wiped her tears.

"Oh right I forgot, I'm so overwhelmed by all of this , come on in". She went inside Ayden followed her in.

"Leave your shoes here!", she gave him slippers to wear.

"Well my aunt's apartment is not so big hehe!", she said and laughed a little.

"Bullshit , it's so nice and cozy here. It feels like home".

"Have you ate anything? Cause I'm making dinner."

"I just drank coffee , I'll have dinner with you thank you".

Cora laughed, a clear ringing laugh. Ayden was staring at her. She wore her apron and started to cut vegetables for the soup. Ayden was sitting on table, he walked up to the kitchen surface and asked, "You need help?"

"No , Ayden I can do.", their eyes met.

"Well I should wait in there", Ayden said pointing at the dining table with his thumb.

"Hey can I see your apartment?"

"Yeah sure", Cora said from the kitchen. Ayden started to roam around her house. One room to another. He came to Cora's room, her room was filled with books and awards. Ayden picked took a medal from the wall and look closer, her murmured, "State level violin championship. She came first". Ayden noticed a pink diary on her study table. He picked it up and was thinking "does she keep a diary?"

Ayden was willing to open it up but he hesitated because he thought he should respect her personal space. He put his hand on his pants pocket and took out the pendent box which he bought from that shop. Ayden sat down on her bed and saw some photos on the window stool. He grabbed the photo frames from there and saw Cora's childhood picture with her mom and aunt and on the picture Cora's mother holding her in her arms. He saw some Polaroid pictures of her childhood too, he took out his phone and clicked some pictures.

"Hey dinner is almost rea…. What are you doing?"

"Nothing just clicking some picture of your childhood photos".

"Ayden no please", she blushed, "I beg you delete them!"

"I don't want to I wanna keep them in my phone plus you look so cute."

Cora tried to snatch away the phone from his hands, Ayden was taller than her he hold so he hold the phone high in the air and said, "You're short you can't up to there. Cora stood up on her bed trying to reach. Ayden took his phone on his other hand in order to get the phone Cora was trying to get down from the hurriedly she slipped and was about fall when Ayden's firm arms catches her by her waist.
