The early morning sun is smiling down on me as I move down the concrete sidewalk. I keep on expecting to see him show up and when I don’t see any sign of his tall frame and dark, lethal green eyes, my heart starts to ache again.Like something is missing. I desperately wish to stop this gnawing shitty feeling inside the pit of my stomach, but I can’t and I don’t know why.
“You’re in love,” a woman’s voice says through my one earphone and I realize it’s just a healthy lifestyle podcast I was listening to last night on Spotify.In love with a crazy person,I added.
I inhale deeply and head down the few blocks toVibe & Bliss.Hopefully, I’ll be too occupied by the end of the day to even think about him.
Neela Raj our yoga instructor is probably set on killing me along with the other victims today by stretching our bodies until we can’t stretch anymore.
I’m expecting hardcore. I need something to destroy my core. But today Neela gives us a break and decides to do calming poses to help with everyday stress, which is exactly what I don’t need.Or at least I think so.
So we start with the child’s pose, stretching our arms out ahead of us, whilst keeping our legs tucked under our butts.
Neela then shows us the extended puppy pose, the standing tree pose, and the triangle pose before she ends the session with a hero pose, where we have to be on our knees with our feet flat against the floor and our arms on our thighs.
We stay in this position for five minutes straight until Neela finally dismisses the class.
I don’t realize how relaxed I feel until I head to the locker room and have a hot shower, exfoliating my skin with a sticky honey scrub. The hot water rushes over my body and I breathe in the steam rising from the showers around me.
When I’m done, I lather my body with my strawberry-scented lotion and then change into a pair of skinny black suit pants and a silky white blouse.
I stare at myself in the mirror as I do an elegant chignon with a few strands of my dark blonde hair loose at the front. My eyes drift further down and then I see it. A reminder that the medallion he gave me is still around my neck. I haven’t taken it off yet and I don’t know if I will. My fingers trace the delicate gold medallion sitting around my collarbone.
Without pondering much on it, I quickly apply a matte nude shade of lipstick and do my cat eyeliner, before I leaveVibe & Bliss, feeling like a million bucks.As you should, babe,Lex would have added if she was here.
Anyway, I have more important things to do today. Like, keep my nerves down about my internship interview.
So before I can grab a cab to go to Gulliver Books, I stop at the nearest Starbucks to get my caffeine fix of hazelnut frap with almond milk before facing the day ahead. It can only get better from here on.
