It had been 5 years since I had last seen him and I almost regretted migrating. We met at University and I wish I could say it was love at first sight, but close enough it fell along those lines. We were both boarding- he a third year and I a first year student. Our dorms were close and we had more in common than I thought. He and my roommates seemed to have known each other from before hence an even smoother introduction.
We were introduced the first week before school started outside the dorm. He was bringing in his suitcases and I was leaving for a meeting. We talked a bit about the subjects I was going to be doing and he gave me advice on certain ones he had taken before and things just didn't work out. I took the advice to heart as I had felt the same way but there was nothing I could change at that point in time.
After the first two weeks I found we spent almost all our time together- playing chess, giving massages, reading erotic stories online, watching anime, porn and reading manga. We had so much in common yet we both failed to realize and I think it was because of so many similarities that we were drawn to each other.
"Hey, are you at the Airport now?" I asked over my cell phone. Due to circumstances I had to move and attend another University in another country while he stayed and finished up his course.
"Yeah," he began "Can you believe its five years already?" I sighed, almost relieved to hear his voice and my heart started to beat with anticipation as I was about to see him. He had moved on over the years and so had I but co-incidentally we were both single at that point in time. Hopefully the feelings hadn't changed
"I'll be outside," he said trying to end the conversation
"No, stay inside," I breathed "It's snowing outside and I don't want you dead on me."
Pressing down on the accelerator I changed gears in my trip-matic vehicle on the highway knowing deep down he might not listen to me and get frozen to death. I had just put on new snow tires so it shouldn't have been that big of a problem. I just hoped no police officers were nearby.
Rolling up on Airport road I turned onto the side of the curb outside the airport. Turning around I checked to see if there were any cops since it was illegal to park there. Getting out of the car I rushed through the snow inside- getting mush on my boots in the process.
"Marie!" he shouted from across the Airport as he waved his hands back and forth
Broadening the smile on my face I ran towards him, and wrapping my arms around his neck my feet lifted off the ground as he hugged me and spun me around. After he was sure I was dizzy he put me down and I looked up at him through his glasses
"You haven't changed at all Sheldon," I said as I looked up into his dark brown eyes.
"Neither have you," he smiled back at me, as he wiped the tears that unconsciously rolled down my cheeks.
"Has it been 5 years already?" my voice cracked as I led him toward the car parked out front. He helped me put his suitcase in the trunk
"Yes it has..." he was about to reply
"What the fuck is this?" I cut him off as I glanced at the ticket on the wiper of my car. Frustrated I kicked up the snow in my path and let out a horrible scream
After I calmed down, I looked over at Sheldon who just happened to be laughing at me
"Get in the car!" I chuckled at how silly I had just acted.
After about 20 minutes we arrived at my house. I lived in a two story house in a friendly little neighborhood. My house had 3 rooms in case my family came to visit; 2 bathrooms, a finished basement, a family room, a living room, a kitchen, dining room and a work station.
"Wow, you've been doing well," he smiled as he looked around my house
"Not as well as I hoped," I scoffed "that's why I'm going to school in the evenings"
"For what?" he asked puzzled
"To be a physician," I started to babble "you're a researcher so you make enough, unlike me."
"I see," he brushed his hair forward with his hand "I thought you wanted to be my night nurse." He joked and I couldn't help but smile. It was true I was a nurse but I wanted more behind my name. Going upstairs I showed him his room and bid him good night because I had just come from work, was tired and needed to sleep.
Next Day
He woke up to shower and unpack as he had been too tired the night before to do anything. I woke up to do my cleaning as usual; it was too expensive to hire a maid so I began with my bathroom and figured I'd pick up the pace along the way. My bathroom was in my room as I slept in the Master bedroom and Sheldon's own was adjacent from his room.
Removing my clothes I took out the cleaning agents and began to scour the bath with only my underwear on as I didn't like to get my clothes wet. I turned on the shower to wash off the soap when I heard a faint knock on my room door. It was Sheldon; he had unpacked and was ready to take a shower when he realized he didn't pack any towels for his bath
"Do you have any towels Marie?" he asked as he came in my room; I hadn't even noticed he didn't have on any clothes. Apparently he hadn't realized he had no towels until he took his clothes off and put them in the dirty hamper. Weirdly enough he couldn't put on clean clothes as he was still dirty.
"Yes I do," I responded not paying him much attention as there was a spot on the counter I was trying desperately to get out.
"Can you get me some?" he asked
