NINETY TWO

Alexa’s POV

It had started out as a beautiful day; I had pulled myself together, showered and had breakfast with Calan. We had talked about random stuff and he had decided that the weather was lovely, perfect for a drive around town and I had been more than happy to go for a drive.

We had stopped by quite a number of places; the mall, a café, even a bookshop. And for the first time in a very long time I had felt free, I had felt light and alive. I had suddenly felt young and vibrant and I couldn’t seem to wipe off my smile; he had taken my hand as we walked around the mall and he had insisted that I take quite a number of things I didn’t need.

And at the bookstore, I had been trying to reach for a book at the top column of the shelf and he had simply reached out from behind me and lowered the book for me. It had been like a scene from the movies, a rather cliché scene from the movies but I didn’t mind. I had felt like melting against him and of course I had begun blushing intensely.
