Love Like A Tidal Wave.
Just Give Me Something That's Real Again.
I had a really great time at that party last night. I smiled to myself as I remembered Vic, him telling me that he liked me. I silently gushed to myself. How can one person be so perfect?
It felt good to actually have fun last night, to enjoy myself, and to feel happy. I haven’t felt like that in quite a few months. I roll over in my bed to where my phone is sitting on my night stand with a couple of texts from Vic. The first one was a sweet goodnight text.
From: Vic <3
Goodnight beautiful lady. It was nice to spend time with you tonight, I meant what I said. I do like you, you’re beyond perfect. I hope you enjoyed yourself, I know I did :-) night x
I smiled to myself as I read every word carefully. Could I really be falling for this boy so quickly? I shrugged it off as I opened the next text.
From: Vic <3
I’m assuming that you’re still sleeping, lazy! :-P I hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you want to go to the movies tonight? I’d really like to see your pretty face again x
I smiled to myself once more as Taylor came into my room, plopping herself down on my bed. It looks like she was just in from last night. I’d left not long after I’d spent some more time with Vic, I was exhausted and he was too, so Taylor decided to stay the night. It was currently 12 in the afternoon. I’d slept in a good few hours, it felt good to be able to do that for the first time in months too. I smiled to myself as I started to type a reply to Vic.
To: Vic <3
That sounds great love, I’ll see you tonight. It’d be nice to see your pretty face too :-) x
“I’m going out with Vic tonight.” I mumbled and Taylor finally opened her eyes, smiling widely at me.
“Do you know how much he gushed about you to Jaime and I this morning?! You two kissed last night, he told me.” She playfully wiggled her eyebrows at me as she spoke.
“Yeah, we did. It was nice. I feel…” I paused, “happy.” I smiled at Taylor, weakly, but it was still a smile.
“Don’t feel guilty about being happy, honey.” She hugged me and I smiled, realising that she was probably right. I can be happy once in a while, I guess.
I mostly spent the day with Taylor, we didn’t do much, just lazed about the house watching films and eating almost everything in sight. I checked the time and it was 4PM, I was being picked up at 6, so I grumpily picked myself up from my comfortable spot on the couch where Taylor and I had been sharing a big blanket and cuddling.
“I need to take a bath. Could you make dinner? Order something in if you want.”
“Aren’t you going out with Vic?” she moaned, she hated making dinner, or even ordering it.
“Yes, but we’re just going to the movies, and I was gonna bring him back here to laze about afterwards… I’m assuming he’ll have already ate.”
I left the room, grabbing two towels from one of the cupboards near the bathroom. I started running my bath whilst I went into my room, searching for an outfit for me to wear. I finally picked out something comfortable, but still cute. I smiled at my choice and walked back into the bathroom. I closed the door, not bothering to lock it since it was only Taylor in and she’d no doubt need to pee sooner or later… I stripped myself of all clothing and put it all in the hamper. I stepped into the bath and let out a sigh of relief. I forgot how great taking a bath was. I’d spent about an hour in the bath and I’d realised I still had to get ready so I jumped out the bath, draining it of the water and walked out of the bathroom with my towels wrapped round me. Taylor had ordered pizza and I took a couple of slices and put them on a plate to take to my room with me, grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge also. I slipped some underwear on, taking my first big bite of my pizza and went to my mirror, pulling my makeup bags from the book shelve that stood beside me, I never really used it for much books. Mostly just CD’s and makeup and other things like that. I started to put on a thin layer of foundation, then powder. I curled my eyelashes and done a coat of mascara, before putting eyeliner on my eyelids. I made sure the flick on each side was perfect. I chose a perfect shade of lipstick to use that would match my outfit choice; I didn’t put it on until I’d finished my pizza. I took my hair out of its towel and it was already pretty dry so I decided on leaving it the way it was, in its natural curly waves. I slipped on my outfit and spritzed myself with some perfume, giving Vic a text to let him know I was ready and he could come anytime.
I started to feel incredibly nervous. I could feel butterflies dancing in my stomach and my heart racing. The thought of Vic always done that to me, the way his hair fell so perfectly, the way his eyes are filled with care and love, the way his smile just totally invites you in. I’m so happy I met Vic already, and I’ve hardly even known him. I don’t even know if you could call this a date, but I guess it was… I soon heard a knock on the door and I opened it to see Jaime and Vic. I invited them both in and Jaime collapsed on the couch with Taylor, the two of them cuddling automatically. I smiled to myself.
“Ready to go?”
“I am.” I smiled at Vic and he linked his hand with me, intertwining our fingers as we left the house. The whole way to the movies we kept our hands held tightly together and I kept catching him smiling at me in the corner of my eye.
I blushed every single time. “What?” I half smiled, half laughed.
“You’re just…” he paused and squeezed my hand, “You’re just insanely pretty.” He smiled at me and brought my hand up to his lips and softly kissed it.
“Thank you.” I blushed and squeezed his hand harder, the smile never leaving my face. Maybe Vic making me happy was a good thing, and maybe I shouldn't be feeling guilty. I just need to feel alive again.

Notes
Title credit: Westbound & Down - Of Mice & Men.I just wanted to say that updates will be much less frequent in the upcoming weeks, I've got lots of stuff going on right now, and if I'm totally honest - I don't feel myself at all, so I also don't feel like writing. So I'd rather do less frequent updates where the chapters are going to be decent than frequent half-hearted updates that are just complete shit. I'm sorry for your waiting in advance! But anyway, thank you all for reading and subscribing! It means the world to me.
Read my sequel to Come Back To My Heart if you haven't already :-)
Also! Please don't be silent readers, let me know what you think - good or bad! Why do you guys think she feels guilty about being happy? You'll soon find out in the next couple of chapters! No updates without feedback.
