Phoebe Gosling lay on her bed with a smile widely plastered on her face. Various thoughts flocked through her mind. Somehow, her mind was filled with countless emotions and thoughts that had to do with cheer. Opening her eyes, she quickly scurried on her king sized bed, happily landing on the floor with gathered strength making the wooden floorboard give a loud thud.

She goes to the bathroom, connecting her phone to the beat speaker via Bluetooth, she scrolls though her device looking for a hyper song that went with her mood that morning. When she thought she had had it all, even though it wasn up to a minute, she started searching. Various songs flooded her mind as she quickly typed Bea Millers Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing(SLUT). Smiling to herself, she started brushing her teeth, moving to every beat of the song. The music was exactly three minutes and six seconds. She quietly grumbled to herself but decided not to put on another music. She then played the same song again, this time, putting it on repeat.

After brushing, she quickly pulled off her clothes and hopped into the already hot water filled tub. Soaping herself, she starts to reminisce how the day was going to be. Her boyfriend was going to be back after a full month in Spain. The utmost joy in her heart, she couldn contain. As the thoughts flooded, the music became overshadowed as Phoebe drowns herself in her mind. She starts to think of the day before he left for Spain.

**********

It was three months earlier. For some reason, Bryan did not wake up early to head to work.

”Quite unusual…and weird. ” Phoebe thought. She assumed his day before was quite stressful so he needed to rest but on the other hand, he never missed a day of work. She shrugged it off and decided to serve him breakfast in bed. She washed her face and hands in the sink and dries them. She broke two eggs, whisking them, she adds little spices and pours it into a frying pan. Bryan likes his eggs scrambled and she knows how to make it perfectly for him. She toasts four slices of bread and brews him pure black coffee. Putting the food on a tray, she heads to the room. Dropping the food on the table beside the bed, she taps him. He opens his eyes to seeing a huge smile on Phoebes face. He mirrors the smile, clearing his eyes.

”Hey babe* he greeted

”Hey ” Phoebe responded. Sitting up from the bed, he kisses Phoebe.

”You made breakfast ”

”Yeah, sure. ” She replied smiling. ”And I could not help but realize you are not up for work which is quite unusual and from the looks of it, if you still consider going to work, get ready to be cried on by Mabel. ” She laughed.

”Oh no, I cannot even imagine that happening to me again. Remember when she threatened to fire me on my first day for making it five minutes late? ” Bryan laughed.

” Yeah sure. You do not want that happening again. ” Phoebe laughed.

Don get anyone wrong. Mabel is actually a really nice woman when you get to know her. Shes a pretty blonde, three years older than Bryan, she has a very petite structure and looks younger than her age. She only masquerades her nice attitude with fierceness to ” command respect ” so she says.

” Well, I will be travelling to Spain tomorrow for a business trip. I am representing out organization for a presentation and this is a really huge gig. I would have told you last night but you were already asleep when I got home. ” Bryan said.

” Oh… ” Was all Phoebe could say. She did not know what to feel or how to respond.

” Hope you
e not mad are something? ”

” Pfft. Of course not. Why would I be? ”

Yeah why would she be mad? She is a writer, not a successful or recognized one yet though. Her boyfriend has been the one providing everything. Working as a business analyst, he is successful and money is not a problem. At some point, Phoebe decided to get a job but Bryan disagreed saying he doesn mind her being a stay at home girlfriend. She felt bad because she desperately felt the need to add something to their lives. So obviously, she should not be mad for her boyfriend leaving for a business trip. Besides, he said its a great gig meaning his monthly income will be increased if the trip is a success and the expectations are met. It was a good thing for them.

” Well, thats great. ” Bryan smiled. ” I was permitted to give myself a day off to prepare so I decided that before or after I do that, I will spend my time with my lovely girlfriend. ” He gave her a kiss. The day went by so fast and they had lots of fun together. After she dropped him at the airport, they talked and when his plane was about to depart, they kissed, tears dripping from Phoebes eyes without her even knowing.

**********

Coming back to the present, she continues to hear the music she put on repeat. Frankly, she starts to regret putting it. She laughs to herself. Coming out of the tub, she grabs her towel and dries herself up. Phoebe is not really a make up person and her dressing, one cannot exactly say it is to die for. She just applied lip gloss, put on mascara and applied blush to her face. She put off her towel and went to the walk-in closet. Putting on her bra and panties, she pulls out a black shirt and a button up shirt with one of her many tight blue jeans. After putting them on, she leaves the shirt unbuttoned and ties the lower part in a knot across her stomach. She brushes her hair . Admiring her self in the mirror, she smiles. Raven-haired, plain dressing, little to no makeup, she feels satisfied. Grabbing her car keys, she rushes down the stairs, grabbing the house keys from a table in the lobby. She heads outside and locks the door. It was a sunny day. The beautiful sun sent its bright yellow beams over the garden in front, really bringing out its colours. Phoebe took it as nature in its full glory partaking in her joy.

The journey to the airport was not so long. The ten minute drive seemed to draw out for an unimaginable amount of time as Phoebe stomped her feet impatiently. It felt like ages getting to the airport due to her joy and eagerness. Her boyfriend had been in Spain for so long and she had been looking forward to seeing this perfect day every second since he left. She imagined having that Cliche moment when they would both sight each other from afar, run to each other, give hugs and kiss before looking into each others eyes and getting lost in themselves in the middle of the airport with arms wrapped around each other. It was going to be the perfect day, so she thought.

Arriving at the airport, she walks into the arrivals area. There were people on phones, families together and people parading around, them all probably trying to locate someone. The noise was too much she could barely hear herself speak. Somehow, she made her way to the gate. She tapped her foot on the ground and fondled her fingers on her lap impatiently. She looked like a child with stage fright almost getting ready for their show and tell. She bit her lower lip and smiled as she saw a really tall man heading her direction.

Phoebe flung her arms at her boyfriend the second he got close to her, burying her face in his chest. This was the first time in over a month she felt whole. Her arms around him tightened but immediately loosened as soon as she realized he was not returning the hug. She slowly detached herself from his body giving him a confused gaze. She felt embarrassed. Various emotions clouded her head, none like earlier. These were negative. She expected Bryan to hug her back, happy to see her. She expected to see his loving eyes but what she saw were eyes void of emotions. He was looking at her like he never met her, like he never told her he loved her. This was nothing like the Bryan she knew, yet it was Bryan.

”Bryan whats wrong? ” Phoebe asked puzzled.

”We need to talk. ” Bryan replied. The words sounded so frail and empty. No emotions attached. It shook Phoebe right to the core.

”Ive watched lots of movies to know that this statement doesn end well. Im all ears. ” Phoebe said hoping this was just all part of an act or prank he saw somewhere and decided to use it on her.

”Its over. ” Bryan said, words coming out bluntly.

”What? Wait wait. Im confused. ” Phoebe said. ”What do you mean? ” She asked giving a light, nervous chuckle.

”Wasn speaking a language you don understand. This is over. You, me, done. ” He spat.

”Bryan please quit the act. Stop it. We… ” Phoebe couldn complete it as Bryan charged at her.

”Thats where you
e getting it wrong. There is no we. ” He said pointing at the both of them.

Phoebe was speechless. Tears coming down from her eyes, she runs past everyone towards her car. Jumping in and jamming the door, she cries out. This was not the perfect morning she anticipated.
