"Astra.."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDWsCNPhSQ
The way my name rolled off her tongue did something to me. It was like answering a calling and just like that I just drifted awake to her face. Offering a half awake smile was about all I could do.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzY1bXZ0qU
" Hey what time is it.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hjmuBE5wB
" You only slept for about an hour so no worries. I just finished with the last of my group."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K19IpGPPf
"Sorry I didn't think I would pass out.."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl6295zxjF
" You needed the rest and you look better for it. So ready to go .?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYORvX9aL0
" Go ?.."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Aky38TaQ
" Come on it's not far and trust me you could use it."

Just like that I was swept up in her tempo, I didn't even know the steps. But I was sure an adventure was ahead of me, I wish I knew where she had gotten so much energy from... The walk was nice and the company was pleasant. Normally I try to avoid interacting with people, it always felt safer to keep people at a distance if possible.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0H1IlWhW3
"So quiet Astra what stories do you have.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex9PYUAEr3
"Stories?...Like a comic full of superheros or something.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZliyMH5U
That laugh of hers was cute and dangerously contagious.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfeTisISpd
" Sure tell me about....the hero Astra."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwBAG0q2H
" Oh...can we not put it that way that's so embarrassing..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPFIpSLG4z
" Stalling must mean our super hero Astra lived like the other super heros...Which makes me curious what secret do you hold."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjUDfzF3T
I couldn't help but laugh at her antics God why was she so adorable. I can't handle this kind of brightness...it has been so long since I have seen something so bright.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjF6H1Zw9y
" Alright I will tell you anything just stop with the super hero Astra bit please ."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgT71SGclk
" I will hold you to that..... unfortunately we have arrived you are a master at stalling. But I will surely get to the center soon enough."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaccYQBf9x
God did she just make a Tootsie lollipop joke.....she is gonna be the death of me. When we first entered this building I was really amazed that I never visited before, the decor was really nice. The air was filled with a strawberry fragrance, a bathhouse for sure. And I somehow never even knew it existed.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRHhOpbK2j
" Earth to space hero Astra...."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHRKFiouP
"Huh oh sorry Gina..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDH30Qzt7F
" It's alright so how about we settle for some food then relax to a nice soothing bath.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGCOePyE8
" Where are we gonna get food at in a bath house?."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNuVyTXURQ
"Upstairs...where I live of course."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzxcXtwAvy
" Wait you live above a bath house is that why......"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7a3duOvtd
Don't you dare finish that sentence Astra...keep the eyes on her face please.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNWlefEJhb
" Well come on let's go have some dinner and talk."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH750YsGs9
She had to know where that was heading why didn't she finish it......and When's the last time I had a date ...
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4mmDHePxa
"wait is this a date"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0ifmBS2cR
Shit I spoke that out loud.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATbvo0Qm7J
" Yeah if you don't mind we can count this as a date."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj61whAsrI
Once we entered her apartment it was definitely smaller then mine, Maybe even a studio converted into a living space. It was cozy and bright it reflected her personality so we'll. I decided to sit on the sofa while she was cooking up a surprise since I was banned from the kitchen ...and that's when I got a surprise of my own... A ball of fur popped up on my lap and made itself comfortable. It was a cute kitten with white and black spots for fur. As I ran my fingers across it's back it purred happily at the attention I gave it.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkOGKmOsoy
The smell of food definitely made me alert and famished. I couldn't help but listen to the sound of a Melody every so often while she was cooking..... it was soothing for sure .. She was definitely a happy person with tons of energy to spend without pausing. Moving the sleeping kitten off to the side I decide to peak into the small kitchen area. I swear I was in a dream this all felt so unreal to me I just couldn't even imagine this being real.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPoYMLa4To
" Hey how's the cooking need any help."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VEbPVU51X
" Nope this is a date remember. I have to show the kitchen skills and be impressive."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqQn7uNOt
"Ha I think impressive is covered easily enough by you. You could let me help ."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlBDpOdP3M
"Could but I am almost done so grab some plates and take a seat and look you are helping..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHaqGJze3B
She couldn't resist laughing and as contagious as it was I could not help laughing so sincerely it's so hard to laugh like this lately.. Following her guidance I managed to find the table ware and set the table for the date dinner...am I really ok with this...is this ok I feel so out of place but in place all at once.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdpTrS7kPH
" Hey no need to space out Astra I have arrived with food."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYLB0gy7Uf
"Uh..Sorry Gina, thanks it looks great."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGMJNOCQQv
" Well dig in tell me what you think."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRboe2ly4no
At first I didn't know what to think or expect but after taking a bite I couldn't compare it to anything.... I never cooked for myself and no one ever cooked for me so I had no reference. I just know it was really good.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS8X1Olobg
" It's amazing Gina what is this.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMlLAOOV0e
"Stir FRY with a twist...family secret and all that jazz.. So you been spacing a lot today everything alright .?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Gb9n4GVX
And here it comes the talking part something I don't know how to really do...
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJed1Z9hnj
"Just a rough night sorry I keep spacing out.."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iVw5qHt28
" No no it's fine we all space out..
So does last night have anything to do with a table, a mean right hook and a swollen hand.?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEte4O4O7
"Yeah you could say that."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5munpTM66e
" Wanna talk about it I am a pretty good listener you know."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjEFCkb1yh
" Just some old drama and wounds that shouldn't be coming back around. I wouldn't wanna spoil the date with this talk after all."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeyOoROoaz
I gave the fakest smile I could but why did I feel like every defense I built was shattering around me with her....Am I really a map after all..
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlS2bru3dj
" You are really bad at lying you know, I mean it is cute but surely you know it would help to talk about it. Bottling is really bad and leads to bad decisions."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKvgIShbY
I think I am tired.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1HRYjPr66
" Cait who joined the gym with me .. I am in love with her... ever since I met her in highschool and so much has happened through our lives it's like the world is directing everything it can at us..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLLadKtE21
" It's okay to talk about it you know..
My step dad's a lot like you. Shouldering the world trying to save everyone he can. But inside he just felt so hollow. That's you right Astra?.....Just remember even super heros needed help."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGbQHCYzdu
" Yeah that's probably the best summary of how it is for me but I just wanted to save her....... I just"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDye4U76c
Interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket I just answered it...I thought it was Cait calling finally..
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiZYtVgCqf
"Astra... It's Jean.... Cait is gone. She left her apartment and everything. Dan's driving up to her parents house to see if she's gone home..Astra can you hear me ?."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhnNAHNfLq
He was speaking but I couldn't speak and soon I just lost all my strength at once. My eyes filled with so much water I started to feel submerged in water. I couldn't speak I felt like I was choking on air while drowning. The phone crashed into the floor but I was paralyzed stiff......Cait left me without a word so what do I do now....Maybe she's here somewhere.... Yea I can still find her if I start running now...
