Her sister

Today, yet another day. But yet at the same time, none other like it. I slowly stretched my arms, rubbing the eye booger out of the corner of my eye. Gently to the side I rolled off my bed. Strangling over to my computer, I turned it on. The blue glimmering lights shined to fill the darkness of my room. As the computer booted up, I scrambled into the shower. Quickly soaping myself, shampoo, rinse, and I was out. I dried myself off and clustered on my clothing. I grabbed for my toothbrush and squeezed on some toothpaste to brush my teeth.

Wide awaken now, I walked back to my computer. As I reached my computer, I noticed that someone had messaged me. They left me a message on MSN. I sat down and read it. It was from the lovely lady, Tina. This lovely lady, lovely yet dangerous at once. You know what they say, love is but a double edge sword. One side cuts into their flesh, the other into you. I fiddled my fingers on my computer desk, leaning my head back thinking of what to say to her. She was still online and left me a wonderful message.

Thoughts ran through my mind, questioning myself to say something encouraging. Something that would lurk her into my neck of the woods. Something creative, yet at the same clueless. Something like the excepted but it was buried under thousand of yells of ancient civilization ruins. My mind raced from place to place, around the world I went. Then again, nothing came through, so I dived into the deep blue sea with a hello.

Never the less, she was still awaiting at her computer. Or I would like to think that she was waiting for me, since she replied rather quickly to my response. I know, I know, I'm getting too over confident about this, she probably was busy doing half a dozen other things. Then at the tinkering sound of my message she just by chance happen to misclick onto my window. That's how it happens in the Korean Dramas but here we were in reality. Where magical things don't happen unless you make it happen.

With welcomings said and done, we continued on with our usual. We would ask how each other did, if the other ate yet, what are you going to do, what are you doing, and so on so forth. The usuals. Things quiet down for a few mintues, I didn't want for her to think that I was some total loser that didn't know what to say to her. So I prickled myself into a question, "Hey Tina, would you get on cam for me?"

"Sure thing," she replied with a gesture, "but you'll have to cam too." Thinking quickly to myself, I look like a scrub. "Oh, brb, I need to do something quickly," I typed back to her. Quickly I scrambled myself together, fixed my hair a bit so I would look like a bum. You know, my dad always says my hair looks like a bird's nest when I don't comb it. Didn't want her to think the same. I quickly went to my closet and grabbed a nice shirt so I would look good on cam. "Back," I proclaim to her.

Soon enough we were on cam, busy smiling at each other. It was like the first time when a boy and girl catch eyes on each other and you can't stop smiling. The lips don't even cover your teeth, no matter what color your teeth are or what's stuck in it. You just keep smiling on. These are the magical moments that you wouldn't want to forget. Felt just like I was in some Korean drama, but an online verison and reality, not just movies.

I keep staring on at her, noticing her beautiful smile glimpsing at me. Then I noticed someone in the background. "Who's that?" I asked her. Tina told me it was her younger sister. Thinking to myself, wow, she has a younger sister. Wondering if she looked a thing like Tina. "Hey, could you tell her to get on cam for me?" I shyly asked Tina. I watched as Tina turned around to ask, but her sister was gone. "She went downstairs," Tina told me. Ill fated me, didn't get the chance to see what her sister looked like.

Thinking today was my lucky day since Tina got on cam for me, I thought I would take a shot and ask for her number. "Here goes nothing," I told myself, "a girl like her, what are the chances?" "Um, Tina," I slowly mumbled on the chat window, "Would I?" I press enter without finishing my sentence. "Would you what?" she questioned in return. "Would I be able to get your number?" I filled in the blank. She kindly gave it to me with no questions asked, except for one clause, I had to not call block. She doesn't accept block calls. Then she told me she would have to go help her mom for a while and she's be back later. I gave her my kind farewell and let her go.

Now, my luck was rolling in. I felt like I could gamble the world and still win it back. I could take a one to a million odds and still win. Only thing was, I had to wait till 9pm to call her. Since free minutes didn't start till then. How boring, how troublesome. Time ticked so slowly, hours went by and yet, not even time yet. My watch was going slow, my clock was slow, my everything was slow.

Finally it was time, I dialed, beep boop teep teep beep boop beep toop teep beep. The phone rang as I cleared my thraot so I could make good first impression. A voice picked up, "Hello, who's this?" My mind impressed with her voice. It was like angels singing, like that sweet drop of honey that you just can't have enough. You drink it till it runs dry, yet this river of a lovely voice never stopped flowing. My heart never skipped a beat and I nearly forgot to take a breathe. Her voice was marvelous, so beautiful and deadly, I could sleep to it. "I'm Peter," I answered, "Who are you, is Tina home?" "Oh, I'm Debbie, hang on," she explained to me. "Um, err, could you waait," I stopped her. "What, I thought you wanted to talk with Tina?" she questioned me.

Now my mind was senselessly uttering, her sister had caught me in a tranch which steals me away with no return, no way back, not even Dorthy's red heels saying, "There's no place like home"...
