Morning Sunset by Daniela D. I. (ereader android .TXT) 📖

was like an offended child. I immediately tried to calm him down,
- Honey, I don’t perceive it as a joke. Simply, your behavior seems strange to me.
- From this day forward, I'll be only this way - he smiled and I couldn’t resist kissing him, but quickly, so he wouldn't have time to respond, otherwise we wouldn’t stand up from the couch for a long time. Immediately after the kiss, I quickly got up and said,
- You know, I'd probably go and put flowers in water. I don’t want them faded quickly...
- No, it's not fair - almost pleaded André, grabbing my arm.
- Not fair - I agreed - to the flowers.
- You are very bad...
- I know - I said contentedly, and then took the flowers and headed to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, I saw a vase on the table and, again, thought of Lucas, because just yesterday I threw the flowers presented by him. I couldn’t help smiling. Lucas has always liked to make presents, to arrange surprises without some reason. He always knew how to turn any day into a holiday. Suddenly, I felt a slight sadness of the fact that we had a fight. I poured water into a vase and put the flowers in it and taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself, "Everything will be fine," I whispered, "everything will be fine." "We've never quarreled with him for more than one day, we went through a lot, good and bad, but still remained good friends," I thought.
Reflecting on our friendship with Lucas, I hadn’t heard how André entered the kitchen. He came up behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist squeezing me in his arms.
- What are you thinking about? - He asked.
- Nothing interesting - I lied. André didn’t comment on my answer and I was glad.
- What shall we do tonight? - He asked, gently swaying from side to side as if he was dancing, thus forcing me to move in his rhythm - Would you like to have dinner somewhere in town?
- No - I replied without hesitation, because I was too tired to go anywhere - let's stay home, sit here together - just you and me.
- I was hoping you'd say this - he said with satisfaction between the kisses, which he gifted my neck.
That evening, we did so. We had dinner at home, then embracing we watched TV until late at night. It was so nice to lie again in his arms, to feel secure, to feel safe. That evening I tried not to think about anything else, not remember. I just lay on his chest and I felt nice and peaceful...

In the morning, when I opened my eyes, I just lay a few moments trying to remember what day it was, where I was and what happened yesterday. Looking around, I saw a familiar wall to me - it was my room. The sunlight passed through the large window and lighted the room with soft, white and warm light. "Is the rain really over?" I thought.
Approaching to the window, I saw that the sky was no longer crying and that a large, smiling sun was looking down at me. I smiled happily back to the sun, and then sat on the bed and tried to remember how I got into my room. My last memory was that I was watching TV with André.
"André» his name sounded like a bell in my head and I remembered absolutely all the events of yesterday, well, except the fact how I got in my bed. The first question that rang in my head was "Where is André?"
To my delight, the answer to my question didn’t keep itself to wait and André entered the room.
- Good morning - he said with a big smile.
- Good morning - smiling too, I replied.
- How did you sleep? - He asked, sitting down next to me.
- Very good. I don't even remember how I got into my bed.
- I brought you when I saw that you fell asleep. You even snored - he smiled.
- It's not true! - I almost screamed - I don't snore - I continued in a low voice and it sounded like a childish excuse.
- But I like it. Snoring you are even sexier...
- Ha - ha, very funny. Stop mocking me.
In response, André smacked me on the lips,
- I love when you're sleepy, you're like a child - he said with such love that I embarrassed smiled and said nothing in response.
- Will you have breakfast? - He asked after a few seconds of silence, and I nodded my head in agreement.
- Well, then change your clothes and come to the kitchen - he said, then he left the room. I silently held his gaze, then looked back at myself and realized that I was still in yesterday's dress.
When I was about to get out of bed, my eyes accidentally fell on the clock, which stood on the bedside table beside the bed. Seeing the time on that clock, my mind was horrified. I was late for work, very late, very ... At that point I woke up completely. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, on the road taking off my dress. "How could I oversleep? It is strange that Amanda hasn't called yet to yell at me that I'm late for work ", I thought on the road to the bathroom.
With the speed of light, I took a shower and got dressed in something that the first came to hand. Having approached to the mirror, I looked for a few seconds at my reflection to make sure that I was fine, having time to think that I need to cut a little bit of my dark curls. There are, after all, the advantage of the curly hair - no need to waste a lot of time for their styling, it took only a little bit of mousse or gel for the hair to outline the curls and that's it – I was ready to go.
Entering the kitchen, I saw that André was completely absorbed in the covering on the table. He tried so hard that I felt sorry that I couldn't enjoy the breakfast cooked by him.
- Please, sit down at the table. The breakfast is ready - he said, seeing that I was standing in the doorway.
- Honey, I'm very late for work - I tried, somehow, to hint that I couldn’t have breakfast. He looked at me a little surprised, and then he asked,
- Maybe, at least you'll drink a cup of coffee?
- Okay, but just very quickly - I said, coming to the table.
- I thought that you don’t work now, well, until they make the repairs - he said, handing me a cup of coffee.
- Today we have to get new furniture and see how the repair is progressing. There is almost everything ready - I said while drinking coffee. - Honey I'm sorry, but I really have to run. Amanda is waiting for me ... - I said apologetically.
- Sure, go. If I knew I would wake you earlier.
- I know, it's not your fault - I said, getting up from the table - And you? Are you working today?
- I have some evening meetings with clients, I have to show them some houses. I struggle with them for several weeks - André said, coming up to me.
- Capricious clients? - I smiled.
- Yeah - he said, and hugged me tightly - I'll miss you all day.
- I'll miss you, too...
André kissed me and I wanted so much to stay at home at least for a little bit more. But my dreams were shattered by a phone call.
- It's Amanda - I said, seeing her name on the phone screen - I have to go - I said, interrupting her call. "She will kill me," I thought.
- Bye, dear - I bid farewell and walked with quick steps to the door, saying along the way,
- You'll close the apartment, I left my keys in my room, on the bedside table.
When I reached the door, André called me out,
- Emma! - I turned around - I Love you - With a gentle voice he said, and my heart felt very warm and pleasant.
- I love you too - I said, and to avoid the temptation stay at home I quickly left the apartment.
Coming out of the taxi, I stopped on the sidewalk and looked at the two-story building across the street - my favorite building in the city. There I felt at home, despite the fact that it was the place of my work.
I was looking at some transformed view of the building after repairs, at the sign "Ice and Flame" above the entrance into the building and I thought how I love my job, how I love my restaurant.
"Restaurant", I thought proudly, "Could it be that it will soon become a reality?” When I with the girls decided to start a business, we wanted very much to open a restaurant, but we knew that we couldn't afford that, so we decided to open a small cafe initially. With the help of family and friends we have succeeded, not without difficulties, but we succeeded. We had to go through a lot and gain a lot of experience so, after four years to implement our dream and to turn a cafe into a restaurant. A very short time remained before the opening of the restaurant and we were all excited and nervous, but it didn’t go to any comparison with a sense of joy and anticipation of the fact that it was going to happen.
- Are you admiring? - I heard a voice behind me.
Having turned around and having seen Leila, I felt a great joy and relief that she was there and, without hesitation, I almost jumped on her neck. I hugged her so tightly, as if it was the first and last time.
- You'll strangle me - she whispered.
- Sorry - I said, unclasping my arms - I'm so glad to see you. When did you come?
- This night. Our plane was late for 2 hours. Can you imagine? We landed at 3 am, and until we get home ... In short, I almost didn’t sleep...
Her melodious voice sounded like music in my ears. I missed her so much...
- In general, I'm glad I'm home - she smiled. - Well, how are you? Why are you standing here? - She asked.
- I'm just trying to make sure that it is a reality and that we are opening a restaurant - I replied.
- It's a reality - she smiled - though we still have a lot of work to do..
- It's true...
- Okay, let's leave the work for a few minutes - she said - tell me better what you you did with my brother. Amanda told me that you had a fight with Lucas. What happened?
- When she had time to tell you? - I asked surprised - You have only recently arrived.
- This morning - she smiled - a phrase that you had an argument was instead the phrase "good morning". You know how she worries for you and Lucas...
-I know, but really, couldn’t she wait for me to tell you? - A little offended I asked.
- But she didn't tell me why you had a falling out, she simply said that it happened ... So tell
