Our Time is Running Out

Ok done!

I put the pencil that I had in my hand down and whipped my head around to look at the clock on the wall.

3:50PM

I made it!

Hayden is not back and the artwork which was supposed to be a gift for him is completed.

I looked down at the result of my sweat and tears and I couldn’t help smiling. Staring at this sketch on paper made me blush a little. I guess I wasn’t sure if Hayden would like or appreciate it but…I loved it!

Wiping a little sweat off my brows, I stood up and headed to the bathroom. I need to wash my face and touch up my make up a little. Hayden should be back soon. As I felt the water on my face, I started thinking of what I should say to him when I give him his gift. Why am I feeling so nervous? It wasn’t like I was presenting some valentines chocolate to my secret crush or anything. Malissa, wake up!

“Malissa…are you home?” I heard Hayden’s voice calling for me.

Of course, I’m home!

“Yes!” I yelled back as I ran out from the bathroom.
