Storm (11)

Hey guys SORRY I have been really busy. But here you go and ENJOY.

By the way... this is a picture of Angela's HOME TOWN.
Wolongong, New South Wales, Australia.
Its not too big... but her parents use to work in SYDNEY. She never saw her parents because they would work in SYDNEY and she would be in WOLONGONG.
but she was born and had always lived in Wolongong.

I woke up, I hear thunder, but the thing that woke me up was the stroke of Chris hands through my hair and on my cheek. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Chris lean on his arm, he leaned down and we connected lips.

The way he kissed was like a sweet, sweet cookie that you could only eat once a year. You miss it when you don’t have it and you love it more and more every time they give it to you. I finally, broke away.

"Hmm, a nice morning to wake up to." I said as I stretch and then snuggle closer to Chris. Even though everything outside was grey, dark, cold and freezing... IN MY WORLD everything was SUNNY and WARM (only when I was with CHRIS).

"Yeah, waking up next to you seems like a dream come true." Chris said while leaning down and reconnecting his lips with mine. After a minute, Chris regretfully broke away the kiss, but started kissing my neck and nibbled on it.

I turned my head and looked outside the window and saw that it was probably worse, more lightning and thunder. I kissed him on the lips one more time and regretfully sat up.

"So... you wanted to talk to me?" I asked remembering the conversation Chris and I had before we passionately kiss.

"Yeah. First let’s talk about your parents. Can’t you tell me what happened?" He said as we both got comfortable on the bed ready to talk.

"Well, they told me that the doctor took some tests and apparently they only have a few weeks to live. And they want me to be with them before they die." I said while my eyes get watery, but I wasn’t ready to cry.

"Angela, why don’t you ask them to come here? I have enough Rooms for everyone. And you said they haven’t seen Seattle. So... they could come and everything will be all right."

"I don’t know. They might want to be at home with their friends and family, but...That might just be a good idea. I’ll call and ask"

"Yeah. I’m a Doctor, so I could check what they have and see if I could do anything." Chris says while I grabbed the phone from the side table and dialled my mom’s number.

"Yeah. That’s GREAT." I said while holding the cell phone to my hear. The tone turned into a HELLO.
Chris stood up and went towards the kitchen.

"Hi MOM" I said quietly with a sad tone.

"Hey Honey. So... what do you think... about visiting us?"

"Umm... I thought about it and I don’t want to visit. But... I want you to visit me. I have a friend that is a brain surgeon, he’s the best doctor in Seattle he could check and see exactly how many days you have."

"Hmm... well I don’t know. I have to do some paper work on renewing our will. But, ok I’ll think about it and I’ll call you back, after I talk about this with your father." She said with a happy voice, but still weak and tired.

"OK moms, think about it and call me back, but don’t take too long."

"Ok I’ll call later. Take care. "

""bye mom." I said hanging up the phone.

I sat on the bed for a couple of minutes thinking. I stood up and called, Nathan.

"Hello?"

"Hey Nathan, Its Angela."

"Hey Angela. What’s up?"

""Oh nothing. Just called to ask if you could check the weather and tell me how everything’s going. BELLSOUTH is trying to fix our power, and with these conditions I doubt the power we’ll be back." I said with a little giggle while looking outside the window.

"Sure. Just hold on. " He, said. In the background I could hear him, going to the TV. The weather lady is talking, but I couldn’t really pin point to what she was saying. Nathan turns off the TV and brings the phone back to his ear.

"Yo Angela. They say that the Storm will hopefully stop tomorrow. It will still be dark for a couple of weeks. Just one percent of precipitation which means no rain or anything, but... don’t be expecting the sun anytime soon."

"NO SUN... ugh but at least the rain and snow will stop. Thanks, I’ll see you later Nathan. Bye"

"Bye" Nathan said while we both hanged up. I threw the phone on the bed, and I walked out towards the kitchen. I could smell eggs, bacon and toast. I wondered how he cooked that. There is no power.

"Chris? How are you cooking with no power?" I said while coming towards the stool to sit.

"Oh. While you were on your phone. BELLSOUTH called my cell and told me they fixed the power. They say it might come and go, but that’s because their still trying to work on it." Chris said as he kept stirring the eggs. As I sit one of the stools.

"Well, that would have been good news before I called Nathan." I said, as Chris lets go of the spatula and turns around.

"Why... did... you call Nathan?" He said with a curious and frustrating tone.

"I Just to ask him if he could check the weather. They say the storm might stop tomorrow, but dark all week." With this, Chris turned back around and put eggs, toast and bacon on 2 plates.

"Ok. That’s good. I get to go back to work." After Chris finished this, a sad and disappointing feeling went through my mind.

"Yeah, same here." I said thinking that we both will have to go back to our normal lives.

We both got our plates and started to eat. We ate in silence, until we finished. I got up and washed Chris’s and my plate. I dried the plate and put it away, while Chris still sat on the stool. I turned around and asked...

"What do you want to do now? My mom is going to call later."

"Well... the power is back, so... we could watch a movie."

"Hey, Chris? Don’t you have to go work?"

"Yeah... but there’s no way I could get there, under these conditions. I might go to work tomorrow"

"True. Ok, well... let’s go watch the movie." We both go towards the living room. Chris comes fast to my side and grabs my hand. The spark from his fingers travels throughout my body and goes down my spine, giving me a shiver all over my body.

I sit on the couch facing the TV. Chris regretfully lets go of my hand and walks over to the side of the TV and looks at a shelf filled with DVDs.
He grabs one and puts it in the DVD player, and comes back to my side. He puts his arm around me and I lay on his firm but cozy chest. The movie started (by the way we were watching Bedazzled with Brendan Fraser FIRST).

The day past quite FAST. After we watched a couple of other movies, it was around 8:30. The night became darker and the wind blew harder. While watching WALL-E I started to fall asleep. My eyes were becoming heavy, and the night was cold.
I could feel Chris carrying me towards his bed. I lie on the bed, and fall fast asleep.

The next morning, I could feel Chris’s arms hold my waist gently. I look outside and see the leafless tree (remember its still WINTER.) sprinkled with snow. The floor still covered in the cold blanket of snow, but the sky was dark and there was no rain or snow coming down. I could still see the sun a bit better, but the clouds wouldn`t let him out.

I turned back to Chris. I slowly lean on my elbow still hugged by Chris. I kiss his forehead, and gently said with a whisper "I love you". I softly played with his soft yet black hair. When he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly kisses me with his soft lips, then he went towards my ear and whispered "I love you more".
I looked at his beautiful hazel eyes and it was like he could see my true me. My checks felt red and I hoped he didn’t see, but to my luck he obviously saw. I quickly hugged him and kissed him.
RING, RING

I let go of Chris’s neck and turned towards the side table. I quickly brought the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Hun. Its dad I talked to your mom and well... I didn’t really like it. The matter is that I don’t really want to go to Seattle. So... I was thinking that you could come and bring your friend with you, so that I wouldn’t have to go. And face it honey, your young and I’m old I really can’t take a 5 hour trip to Seattle sitting on a plane. "

"I understand. Ok well, I’ll take the first plane to Australia today. So I’ll see you later then"

"I knew you would come. Ok then I’ll see you later. Love you and take care. "

"Bye" I hang up and put the phone down. I look at Chris and say

"I have a surprise"

"What is it?"

"WERE GOING TO AUSTRALIA"
