Sian sat down at the table that was in her hotel room that they were staying in. She wanted to write Sophie a post card to let her know she was thinking of her and for something to keep as a memory of some sort. She found herself staring at the blank card in front of her.
“There’s no combination of words I can put on the back of a postcard,
No song that I can sing, but I can try for your heart,
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoe box of photographs
With sepiatone loving”
“What’s that ya got there Sian?” she suddenly heard a voice from behind her.
“Oh hey Chloe. It’s just a box of photos of me and Soph. I take it anywhere with me when I’m not with her. Well, I plan to. This is the first time I’ve left her actually”, Sian giggled.
“Awww that is sooo sweet Sian”, Chloe squealed as she bent down and took a few pictures to look at.
“Yeaa. It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving. I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together.....”
FLASH BACK (SIAN’S POV)
I saw Sophie run out of Ryan’s flat. Why did she have to come at the exact time when Ryan grabbed my hand? I ran out to catch her without thinking twice. I found her leaning against a wall by the building yard. I went over to her cautiously and called her name.
“Sooopph”, she didn’t react. “Sophie?” When I had reached her she suddenly turned away and avoided my eyes.
“Get away from me”, she mumbled. I was shocked by her words.
“Whaat?”
She turned back flicking her hair and I knew I was going to get an ear full. “You know, you knew everything he was planning.”
“He wasn’t planning anything.”
“Oh I can hardly say no after everything he’s done for meh”, she mocked me in the funniest voices I have ever heard. But I couldn’t laugh because I was s’pose we were s’pose to be having an argument.
“Well I couldn’t!” I replied in a high pitched voice.
“You wanna get back with him don’t ya?” she said accusingly. She was always the jealous type. In a way it was kinda cute, it showed that she really cared for me, but soo annoying at the same time.
“No! I don’t!” I shouted back trying to get the message through to her.
She pushed past me and went through the gates and sat on the steps. I followed her in there. I was determined not to let her go that easily. I tried to explain everything to her while moving around a lot.
“He means nothing to meh!” that seemed to shut her up a little. When she had calmed down a little I continued to win her back. “You’re the one that I love. No one else, not ever” I said while stroking her arm. I tilted my head and tried to look more sweet. “You better believe me.” I think it worked cuz she was smiling again. She looked down at my lips and pouted slightly as a way of asking me if we could kiss now. I was more than happy to her let her. “C’mere” I mumbled as I pulled her closer and our lips connected softly.
END OF FLASHBACK
“And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now”
“I’ve gotta see her Chloe. I can’t....I have to show her how I feel. Words won’t be enough”, Sian shouted nervously but having a wide smile across her face at the same time.
FLASH BACK (SIAN’S POV)
The morning after. THE morning after. The MORNING after. The morning AFTER!!! God I can’t stop thinking where I am and why I’m here. I’m in Sophie’s bed our bodies still touching from last night. I can’t believe that we had actually done it. It was soo amazing. Sophie is way more tender than Ryan. Ryan was a sex, Sophie was love.
I could feel her eyes on mine. I loved the fact that she was looking over me but I felt really conscious.
“Stop it”, I mumbled. It was a way to let her know that I was awake as well.
“What?” she replied innocently.
“Looking at meh”, I replied as if she didn’t know what I was on about.
“I like look at ya. You look very pretty when you’re asleep.”
“Aye, you’re saying I’m ugly when I’m awake?”
“Mmm??” she was trying to wind me up and she done well. I quickly turned round to face her. “Gosh you’re a minga” she joked sarcastically.
I just giggled and turned back so she could spoon me again. She went in for a kiss but something stopped me from letting her. “Noo your mom”, I hummed. She looked really disappointed.
“Sian? Are you okay with all this cuz.....ya know if you’re not ready then ....... “ I could tell her voice was getting ridged so I finished it off for her.
“No I am just feels weird is all”, I said, picking my words carefully.
“Well that’s the thing I don’t want it to feel weird.”
“No like......” I pulled myself up and leaned on my arms. “.....weird in a good way, like a new pair of shoes”, I said trying to put it in a good metaphor.
“Oh thanks.”
“They’re gonna be amazing but you just have to wear them in a bit.” Nice save.
“Well I just don’t wanna push ya that’s all”
“No you’re not”, I reassured her. She gave me a look. “I love you”
“I love you an’ all”
END OF FLASHBACK
“I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.”
Sian couldn’t help but smile as she looked out the plane window and down onto the huge lands pace below. She knew it was only a matter of hours before Sophie would be in her arms once more.
