/Astra pt 3./

"Astra.."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbXdGMGSLT
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjANXgiS0J6
" Hey what time is it.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxdHarEwO
" You only slept for about an hour so no worries. I just finished with the last of my group."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YJiCUpCI
"Sorry I didn't think I would pass out.."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0b8i1wYma
" You needed the rest and you look better for it. So ready to go .?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvAmf1xvUb
" Go ?.."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJ3VwSmHJ
" Come on it's not far and trust me you could use it."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUQHgZ3nqh
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWuLgsO2f
"So quiet Astra what stories do you have.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR1eLv0TYI
"Stories?...Like a comic full of superheros or something.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AIye25Tqr
That laugh of hers was cute and dangerously contagious.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68tBa41pt
" Sure tell me about....the hero Astra."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHB0gfWuQX
" Oh...can we not put it that way that's so embarrassing..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKQOYeRoSs
" Stalling must mean our super hero Astra lived like the other super heros...Which makes me curious what secret do you hold."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBol68VQr8D
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iekPJZbuo
" Alright I will tell you anything just stop with the super hero Astra bit please ."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3a7QrKAMI
" 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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2uu0qFFXg
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6BkoRDbet
" Earth to space hero Astra...."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjssmvmHZsz
"Huh oh sorry Gina..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiP7yVzMuf
" It's alright so how about we settle for some food then relax to a nice soothing bath.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKqTX4Z2N5
" Where are we gonna get food at in a bath house?."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIDwyIHp6a
"Upstairs...where I live of course."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RkdjoVeFk
" Wait you live above a bath house is that why......"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8TyLUDQO
Don't you dare finish that sentence Astra...keep the eyes on her face please.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8LGhx6qrm
" Well come on let's go have some dinner and talk."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YebNkT2q
She had to know where that was heading why didn't she finish it......and When's the last time I had a date ...
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrRZix9xqU
"wait is this a date"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsN5dx8m8V
Shit I spoke that out loud.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9BUyr1G1
" Yeah if you don't mind we can count this as a date."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuNTpFVT7a
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSNUITPgwe
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaejinE2O1
" Hey how's the cooking need any help."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr6m2oznhd
" Nope this is a date remember. I have to show the kitchen skills and be impressive."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrtr1qtTTT
"Ha I think impressive is covered easily enough by you. You could let me help ."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkCeUeMnA2
"Could but I am almost done so grab some plates and take a seat and look you are helping..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQPtGk0m9I
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYZdYHkK3g
" Hey no need to space out Astra I have arrived with food."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9l9KRq59
"Uh..Sorry Gina, thanks it looks great."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY2jKWmF52
" Well dig in tell me what you think."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXcJ2iY4Mt
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmyQpEWcpB
" It's amazing Gina what is this.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSKtfiZo9h
"Stir FRY with a twist...family secret and all that jazz.. So you been spacing a lot today everything alright .?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyAiH2DGiQ
And here it comes the talking part something I don't know how to really do...
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXakDGUGoWL
"Just a rough night sorry I keep spacing out.."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXaMt2DTx1
" 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.?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecu3eEio3T
"Yeah you could say that."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty2c9fuLPc
" Wanna talk about it I am a pretty good listener you know."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDqxbhwlX4
" 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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLomIvTYW0
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..
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK00UCRgmv
" 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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPFGRwzEru
I think I am tired.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDnwqzrfK
" 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..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf5TaX3Q57
" 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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWDV7z4wrO
" Yeah that's probably the best summary of how it is for me but I just wanted to save her....... I just"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembWC6ptCN
Interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket I just answered it...I thought it was Cait calling finally..
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OvastjDWC
"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 ?."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfeKf6Wm3n
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...
