Missing You, Summer Blue [ebook reader for comics txt] 📗

I stared at him as he walked into my bedroom acting like everything was perfect. And let me tell you something, It wasn't.

He didn't notice me and just collapsed on the bed like he just finished cleaning the Eiffel Tower.

I cleared my throat. He jumped with surprise.   'Chrissy, I didn't notice you were here.' He said coming up to me and giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. I didn't change the expression on my face.  'So, what's new?' He said while getting a book from the shelf and sitting on the chair, next to me.. I'll tell you whats new. A black hole on your eye when I'm finished with you, I thought.    

'I saw you with Lisa.' I said finally. He shot up, looking at me with confusion.   'So?' He said, looking back at his book. I could see that 'oh no, i'm busted' in his eyes.

I rolled my eyes.   'I told you to stop meeting her.' I said, looking at him.   He smiled. 'No way, I love-'

  'You love her?' I laughed bitterly. 'Do you know what love is?' I said. 

He looked at me and shrugged. 'Its a feeling?'  

'Right.' I said, sarcastically. 'And do you know what that feeling is?'  

'Chrissy... I don't want to fight.' He said, already getting tired. 

'I don't want to fight too,Callum. But I hate it when your with her. Do you know how mad I get.' I said angrily. 

  'I can't believe your going to talk about this again.' He mumbled, putting the book back.  

'Well, lets get it done with it. Get rid of her.' I said. 'I'm your girlfriend and I have a right to say what I think is right.'  He put his hand through his hair. A way of saying he was frustrated.  

'Well?' I said.   

'You know, we are talking about a cat, right?' He said finally.

  Yep. He was right. We were talking about Lisa the cat that Callum loves.

You see, it started a few weeks ago. I'm not going to give you a flashback because I'm pretty mad right now. Callum is my boyfriend and a massive pet lover. I'm Christina. But everyone calls me Chrissy. And I am allergic to fur. Yep, believe it or not.

But our relationship was a disaster at times, but it still worked. I loved Callum and he loved me to bits that he gave his animals away when he started living with me. I'm 18 and happy.     Until Callum found a cat in the streets. Instead of giving it to the pet shelter, he made a little wooded house for the cat to live in. Wait for it.. In my garden! So here I was, getting into an argument that I would normally win in. 

'If its just a cat, why don't you give it back to the shelter?' I continued. 

'Because...' He looked down. He mumbled something quickly.  'What?' I said.  

  'I love cats, okay?' Callum said. 'I love them to bits.' He sat down, defeated.  

I would have said 'well don't you love me?' and we would have started a bigger argument than usual. But I didn't. He meant it. He loved animals but had to keep it on a down low when I came in his life.

I sighed. Maybe I was being harsh. I separated this man from his second love. Animals.  I sat on his lap and lifted his head. 'You must hate me.' I whispered.

His blue charming eyes widened.     'Are you crazy? Why would I hate you?' He said, putting my blond hair , behind my ear. 'Your everything to me.' 

'I am?' I said. He nodded. 

  'Everything.' He said again. He put his lips to mine and sent butterflies to my stomach. Even though, I kissed him a lot of times, It never got old. It was different every time.  We kissed for 10 minutes. Looked at each other for 5 minutes and then laughed about the argument for 20 minutes.  

'Come on, I want to see this cat that stole my boyfriend.' I said while dragging him out the room. 

  'No way, your allergic remember?' He said making me stop.

  'So what? I won't die from a few sneezes.' I said. He stopped completely.  'Chrissy, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bought this cat. Remember the last time? You were ill for a day, and it was my fault. I let one on my friend's dog lick you.' I laughed.  'Callum, That was when I met you. Remember? You were walking with your friend and his dog. And the dog was trying to get the biscuit off my hand.

And when I gave it, the dog licked me to death.' I said, remembering. It was the most annoying but important moment in my life. It was the day I met Callum.     'Oh yeah. Even though it was 3 years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday.' He said. 'You looked beautiful that day.' He said giving me another kiss. 

'Oh, really?' I giggled. 'How did I look?'  'Amazing.' He kissed me passionately.   We stopped when i heard Callum's stomach growl. I smiled. 'I'll get you something to eat.' I said before going to the kitchen.  'You don't have to.' He said behind me. 'I don't want you to do things for me.'

  I looked at him. He was so handsome with his black hair and blue eyes that I could stare into for hours.     'I thought its the girlfriends job to cook for the boyfriend.'

I said getting the things out to make shepherd pie.  He put his arms around me from the back and put his chin on my shoulder. 'Don't you mean its the wife's job to cook for the husband.' He whispered. 

'It means the same thing. Wife and girlfriend.' I said, too busy getting him off me but he wouldn't budge.  'So you think theres no difference between a wife and a girlfriend.' He said tightening his hands around my waist.

  'Yep.' I said. I turned myself so that I was looking at him.  

'So, if I proposed to you right now, nothing would change?' He said cheekily.  I kissed him on the cheek. 'Nope. I would still be the annoying fur allergic girlfriend.'   He looked at me, trying to act serious. 'But really.. what do you think?' He said. 

I bit my lip and looked at the ground. What will I think? Callum, the guy who I've been with nearly 3 years and have loved for 6 years. Yep, I will love to marry him. It's just he's never asked me. We've always joked around about it but then it goes no where. So I pretend to not care, eventhough i've always dreamed of walking down that isle and having him there, next to me.

  'You know what I think?' I said. 'I think you should make the Shepherd while I go to sleep.' I said giving him the over gloves. He looked at me like I told him to eat a wooden table. 

'What?' He laughed.  I yawned. 'I've had a big day today, finding a perfect dress for Lily.' I said. Lily is my sister. Shes getting married and is a right pain at the moment. It took 15 hours for her to find a perfect dress and still, she didn't feel satisfied.

'So, you eat whatever you want and I will take a nap.' I said, getting out of the kitchen and going to my bedroom.  He followed me and jumped on the bed before I could sleep on it. 

'What are you doing?' I said, laughing. He smiled.   'I love you.' He said while I budged him off the bed.  

'I know.' I smiled cheekily. He rolled his eyes.  'You know what we should do?' I said, coming closer to him. 

'Whats that?' He said, biting his lip. 

'We should...'   

'Yeah?' He said, looking at my lips.  'Play Monopoly!' I said happily. 

He frowned. 'Monopoly?'   'Yeah, what else?' I said, getting the game from my wardrobe.  'Fine then. I'm the shoe and your the Iron.'  I looked at him and made a face. 'Iron? Are you crazy?' 

'No your the crazy one who wants to play Monopoly.' He said helping me set them.  'We haven't played once.' I said, getting the board out from the brand new box. 'Its like we are too old to play games.'  He laughed. 'I'm 20!' 

  'So?' I said looking at him, like he said that trees make paper.

'I'm 18!'  He sat on the other side, while we both started to play.  

'The winner has one wish!' He commanded.  I rolled my eyes. 'Do you know how long this game goes for?'  'Fine, the person who gets a-'  'Lets just forget the wish, for goodness sake!'

I said, setting the thing up.  'Okay.' He said, taken back. 'Someone hates wishes.' 

'I don't hate them. I just don't believe in them.' I mumbled.  'Right.' He said, looking at me in that 'you're weird' way.  Before I could shout at him, my phone rang. 'Hello?'  'Hey, honey.' It was Mum.    

'Hey Mum. Whats up?' I said, rolling my dice.  'When are you coming?' Mum said.  I frowned. 'Coming where?'  I heard her sigh. 'You forgot? Darling, we are having an family dinner today, remember? We planned it weeks ago.'  'Oh yeah! I forgot.' I said, feeling stupid. 

'Okay well, its started so get here fast.' I got 2 on my dice and on the monopoly, I was put in jail. Callum laughed out loud. So loud that my mum heard.  'Is that Callum?' Mum said. I sighed.   'Yep. We're playing monopoly.' I said.  'Darling, what do you see in that boy? Hes making you play childish games.'

  'Mum-'  'Today is monopoly, what will it be tomorrow? Playing in the bouncy castle.' Mum said, angrily.    I made sure Callum didn't hear. My mum doesn't like Callum. Yes, when I met him, he used to be the naughtiest but not anymore. Matt works for a decent job as a architect which he only chose to keep my mother happy. He never told anyone but I know him.  'Mum, I wanted to play and we'll be coming.' I said, kind of angry. Callum is trying to be perfect for my mother and my mother doesn't care.  

'Hey, who was that?' Callum said, looking at the game.  'Mum. She said we have to go to a family dinner.'   Callum looked at me. 'Cool.' 

He got up and went to the wardrobe to find something to wear. He hates going and I don't understand why he always says he wants to go. 'What do you think I should wear?'

  'You don't have to go, you know.' I said.  'I know. I want to.' He said, giving me a smile. 'Anyways, its been a while since I met your family.'  'Callum.' He faced me. I got up and hugged him. 

'Hey, whats up, blue?' He said. He calls me blue whenever I'm sad. Its his way of saying that he understands.   'I just wanted a hug.' I said. It came out as a muffle because I was holding him so tight. 'I'm sorry.'  'For what?' He said.   'I don't know. I'm just sorry, I guess.'  He put his hands on each side of my face. 'Don't. Don't be sorry.'  I nodded.  

  'Right. What shall I wear?' He said, sounding like a girl.  

I laughed. I picked up my blue heels. 'Maybe these to match your eyes.'  He put his hands on his hips. 'Hmm, you sure about that? I was thinking red and a tiny dress to show off my curves.'  I looked at him strangely. He makes good impressions of a girl. Then all of a sudden, we burst out laughing.
