"Astra.."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4qNxh9aF6
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJkkm1NdcG
" Hey what time is it.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLdPhRDQyS
" You only slept for about an hour so no worries. I just finished with the last of my group."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWZDGp1zxo
"Sorry I didn't think I would pass out.."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQo5d0Q47p
" You needed the rest and you look better for it. So ready to go .?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCgYREsi5t
" Go ?.."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKP5d4lPk
" 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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmIiK8uT7T
"So quiet Astra what stories do you have.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyzSJaGPni
"Stories?...Like a comic full of superheros or something.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFSA2uauU
That laugh of hers was cute and dangerously contagious.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdCKFpzx5q
" Sure tell me about....the hero Astra."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SKK5d4em
" Oh...can we not put it that way that's so embarrassing..."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IuSH30LiS
" Stalling must mean our super hero Astra lived like the other super heros...Which makes me curious what secret do you hold."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDo2JnaeXI
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBuwCZlUee
" Alright I will tell you anything just stop with the super hero Astra bit please ."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR6ANf5vhi
" 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."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7axchyIcv
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MPHozRHlN
" Earth to space hero Astra...."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJbTMOzT0t
"Huh oh sorry Gina..."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj9RzRG8Lq
" It's alright so how about we settle for some food then relax to a nice soothing bath.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rqZyQOaQ0
" Where are we gonna get food at in a bath house?."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xivCBYk6v
"Upstairs...where I live of course."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLWGFwZvWX
" Wait you live above a bath house is that why......"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGGNnTybE
Don't you dare finish that sentence Astra...keep the eyes on her face please.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yskbvgy5g
" Well come on let's go have some dinner and talk."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HcZeVxzlh
She had to know where that was heading why didn't she finish it......and When's the last time I had a date ...
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhKRD6XXDS
"wait is this a date"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVdUqJU45
Shit I spoke that out loud.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87dbPUluNQ
" Yeah if you don't mind we can count this as a date."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMyhPZgpg
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYitsMZW62F
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUlDgNKBU
" Hey how's the cooking need any help."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJztFS4RCD
" Nope this is a date remember. I have to show the kitchen skills and be impressive."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOFit8Y5lH
"Ha I think impressive is covered easily enough by you. You could let me help ."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJauBruI4Hd
"Could but I am almost done so grab some plates and take a seat and look you are helping..."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDv4jvjRzP
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOQO5vutSZ
" Hey no need to space out Astra I have arrived with food."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITMOm0sal2
"Uh..Sorry Gina, thanks it looks great."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdTl6Vn5tt
" Well dig in tell me what you think."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVd9lGs9Cy
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO3hIQp03C
" It's amazing Gina what is this.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONKnraxgrq
"Stir FRY with a twist...family secret and all that jazz.. So you been spacing a lot today everything alright .?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqMW8B7QR
And here it comes the talking part something I don't know how to really do...
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHpBjlhCu4
"Just a rough night sorry I keep spacing out.."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlJ9e6s7si
" 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.?"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyjCwp1rJ6
"Yeah you could say that."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLuNcmX10X
" Wanna talk about it I am a pretty good listener you know."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChhCnfqmQs
" 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."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9qA6W0qSt
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..
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP5FzCIUDV
" 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."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1PGZr33ZC
I think I am tired.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILgmgH7mJv
" 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..."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sa6ZzeB9F
" 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."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfuScX4kVE
" Yeah that's probably the best summary of how it is for me but I just wanted to save her....... I just"
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPlnizx1rW
Interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket I just answered it...I thought it was Cait calling finally..
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8wBsyKQyb
"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 ?."
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvJCpCiCr
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...
