My heart jumps to my throat when I catch a familiar scent. 
Why does it appear around me so often these days? 
I turn around looking for the owner frantically but I can't spot them. 
-
"How do you know me?" 
"How can I not?" 
"You're quite popular, I'm not, so I had no idea you'd be into me." 
"I'm not into you. I just like making friends." 
"Yeah sure, like you haven't been practically undressing me with your eyes." 
"I have not been doing that!"

I sit on my bed, it's around 7:00 AM. I spent the whole day with Mia yesterday but she insisted I spend the night at my place saying she wanted a game-night with Will and Will only. 


Sighing, I let my body fall on the mattress and pinch my nose bridge slightly. I'm scared and I'm worried and I'm sad. I cannot stop thinking about her and I really really want to call her but wouldn't that be disturbing her game night with Will? But I miss her so it's alright. 


I quickly pick up my phone, she'll be up by now for sure. I press on the home button and her picture pops up on my screen. It was her decision that we should keep this as a wallpaper. At first, it was the one with a peace sign but after the wedding she decided on a picture of her standing at the Altair, laughing with her head thrown back like Jim.
