/Astra pt 3./
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQr9bvvn3
"Astra.."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQQ1LqoyF
The way my name rolled off her tongue did something to me. It was like answering a calling and just like that I just drifted awake to her face. Offering a half awake smile was about all I could do.

" Hey what time is it.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwDJAmEXxi
" You only slept for about an hour so no worries. I just finished with the last of my group."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSrSoYgnSX
"Sorry I didn't think I would pass out.."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOXRyGC71R
" You needed the rest and you look better for it. So ready to go .?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDXM47f0PK
" Go ?.."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY3gPSAPBt
" Come on it's not far and trust me you could use it."

Just like that I was swept up in her tempo, I didn't even know the steps. But I was sure an adventure was ahead of me, I wish I knew where she had gotten so much energy from... The walk was nice and the company was pleasant. Normally I try to avoid interacting with people, it always felt safer to keep people at a distance if possible.

"So quiet Astra what stories do you have.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQ7j5wZn3
"Stories?...Like a comic full of superheros or something.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgETMUTkFRK
That laugh of hers was cute and dangerously contagious.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWePE5rbww
" Sure tell me about....the hero Astra."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYwABiW7m3
" Oh...can we not put it that way that's so embarrassing..."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCNq1EFUTe
" Stalling must mean our super hero Astra lived like the other super heros...Which makes me curious what secret do you hold."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqEYhls9VS
I couldn't help but laugh at her antics God why was she so adorable. I can't handle this kind of brightness...it has been so long since I have seen something so bright.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0iNg8x17B
" Alright I will tell you anything just stop with the super hero Astra bit please ."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4Z3D1oCc
" I will hold you to that..... unfortunately we have arrived you are a master at stalling. But I will surely get to the center soon enough."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gIl3XUdmK
God did she just make a Tootsie lollipop joke.....she is gonna be the death of me. When we first entered this building I was really amazed that I never visited before, the decor was really nice. The air was filled with a strawberry fragrance, a bathhouse for sure. And I somehow never even knew it existed.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AlfZ4S7ok
" Earth to space hero Astra...."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFYjIHWJRJ
"Huh oh sorry Gina..."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstcmzSkopv
" It's alright so how about we settle for some food then relax to a nice soothing bath.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlRm9syrnx
" Where are we gonna get food at in a bath house?."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5JDxK4Np7
"Upstairs...where I live of course."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZw2SQ2fqP
" Wait you live above a bath house is that why......"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHDz9YpJSo
Don't you dare finish that sentence Astra...keep the eyes on her face please.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGC9QDQ5Sf
" Well come on let's go have some dinner and talk."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mORGIqAPM
She had to know where that was heading why didn't she finish it......and When's the last time I had a date ...
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeANWUEoi0J
"wait is this a date"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrvOiV2cwD
Shit I spoke that out loud.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojaTBkaxU
" Yeah if you don't mind we can count this as a date."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEAPVKLtMv
Once we entered her apartment it was definitely smaller then mine, Maybe even a studio converted into a living space. It was cozy and bright it reflected her personality so we'll. I decided to sit on the sofa while she was cooking up a surprise since I was banned from the kitchen ...and that's when I got a surprise of my own... A ball of fur popped up on my lap and made itself comfortable. It was a cute kitten with white and black spots for fur. As I ran my fingers across it's back it purred happily at the attention I gave it.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdEGDSjCoL
The smell of food definitely made me alert and famished. I couldn't help but listen to the sound of a Melody every so often while she was cooking..... it was soothing for sure .. She was definitely a happy person with tons of energy to spend without pausing. Moving the sleeping kitten off to the side I decide to peak into the small kitchen area. I swear I was in a dream this all felt so unreal to me I just couldn't even imagine this being real.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPj8eEA3YM
" Hey how's the cooking need any help."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwmWvZBibE
" Nope this is a date remember. I have to show the kitchen skills and be impressive."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb0uQWdPgf
"Ha I think impressive is covered easily enough by you. You could let me help ."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCztAmge0p
"Could but I am almost done so grab some plates and take a seat and look you are helping..."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9DINaHOw
She couldn't resist laughing and as contagious as it was I could not help laughing so sincerely it's so hard to laugh like this lately.. Following her guidance I managed to find the table ware and set the table for the date dinner...am I really ok with this...is this ok I feel so out of place but in place all at once.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmf3Ap9sra
" Hey no need to space out Astra I have arrived with food."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrse2h1kV0P
"Uh..Sorry Gina, thanks it looks great."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf4S2pelTh
" Well dig in tell me what you think."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnznWultQVk
At first I didn't know what to think or expect but after taking a bite I couldn't compare it to anything.... I never cooked for myself and no one ever cooked for me so I had no reference. I just know it was really good.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxhdplfSi9
" It's amazing Gina what is this.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9xCLEEI2x
"Stir FRY with a twist...family secret and all that jazz.. So you been spacing a lot today everything alright .?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwng89GuQ
And here it comes the talking part something I don't know how to really do...
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOo0gPhIFU
"Just a rough night sorry I keep spacing out.."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNLvtoX0dh
" No no it's fine we all space out..
So does last night have anything to do with a table, a mean right hook and a swollen hand.?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zfWMD8lc
"Yeah you could say that."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91QJDC4sl
" Wanna talk about it I am a pretty good listener you know."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzsQ628j19
" Just some old drama and wounds that shouldn't be coming back around. I wouldn't wanna spoil the date with this talk after all."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyRSX1n5n4
I gave the fakest smile I could but why did I feel like every defense I built was shattering around me with her....Am I really a map after all..
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOySugolts
" You are really bad at lying you know, I mean it is cute but surely you know it would help to talk about it. Bottling is really bad and leads to bad decisions."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhCC4eOPhe
I think I am tired.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KibUvCKD
" Cait who joined the gym with me .. I am in love with her... ever since I met her in highschool and so much has happened through our lives it's like the world is directing everything it can at us..."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qGA9Ekr8c
" It's okay to talk about it you know..
My step dad's a lot like you. Shouldering the world trying to save everyone he can. But inside he just felt so hollow. That's you right Astra?.....Just remember even super heros needed help."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jvtorwWU
" Yeah that's probably the best summary of how it is for me but I just wanted to save her....... I just"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTGQ00QG4W
Interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket I just answered it...I thought it was Cait calling finally..
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5dWgs8n6R
"Astra... It's Jean.... Cait is gone. She left her apartment and everything. Dan's driving up to her parents house to see if she's gone home..Astra can you hear me ?."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsoEacXMF3
He was speaking but I couldn't speak and soon I just lost all my strength at once. My eyes filled with so much water I started to feel submerged in water. I couldn't speak I felt like I was choking on air while drowning. The phone crashed into the floor but I was paralyzed stiff......Cait left me without a word so what do I do now....Maybe she's here somewhere.... Yea I can still find her if I start running now...
