She felt extremely emotional by his message, even though it was an ordinary one.
"Awkward. You know how family dinners are. Are you sleeping?"
Edward went home right after the meeting was over. He couldn't properly concentrate on the work because he kept thinking about his soul mate.
"Not yet, I couldn't sleep thinking about you."
Jolene almost screamed of excitement as she felt her lover's warmth and affection through his words. She rolled in her bed for a while before she could finally gather the remaining parts of her sanity.
"I missed you Ed. I actually miss you all the time."
Edward was a coldhearted man. Harsh, distant, and all mighty like an iceberg. However with Jolene, all the ice melted away. For an iceberg, she was like hot springs, all warm and chilly. He gradually changed his old black and white self to suit her colorful presence.
"I like how expressive you are when texting. I miss you more. Sleep early my princess, good night."
"Good night, see you tomorrow."
The moon light which was reflected by the window glass paved the way for her thoughts to wander in the alleys of her mind. It took her a while before she could finally fall asleep.
In the next morning, the brother and sister went to college together. It was another ordinary day for everyone, until Chris run into Edward in the cafeteria of the Finance Department. Seeing his love rival, Chris had to ruin Ed's mood.
"You look happy Edward, is it because of Jolene?"
Ed moved his chair calmly, stood up and passed by Chris towards the exit.
Irritated by Ed's behavior, he forcibly grabbed his arm, turned him around and added in a hushed tone.
"You better fully enjoy your temporary happiness before it's all gone."
Edward kept silent, but his fierce glare made Chris retreat. He made his way through the gossip and murmuring of the audience and left, leaving Chris in the center of the attention.
"This isn't over Edward, do you hear me!"
Ed was shaking in anger. For a moment, he regretted leaving without breaking Chris's jaw with his feast. The idea of going back to punch him kept running in his mind. His ration came back when he realized the fact that he was standing near the Art department. He waited eagerly by its entrance for the only person who could calm his outrageous soul.
In a white lovely dress, the heroine shortly came to the rescue. Jolene was holding what seemed like a painting in her hand. She approached her lover and complained in a whiny voice.
"Look Ed! Liz ruined my pretty dress with paint."
She looked up to notice his pale face.
"Edward! What's the matter?"
The rage and frustration turned instantly into peace of mind at the sight of her. The sudden mood change resulted in a strong urge for a deep physical comfort.
He hugged her passionately, burying his face in her hair, and just like some kind of drug, her scent calmed his nerves.
Without further questioning, she wrapped her arms around his waist, wishing he would share all his burdens with her. She could never guess that his heaviest burden was the idea of losing her.
After a while, she calmly said while rubbing his back with the palm of her hand.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, but I would like if we remain like this for a little more."
"Sure, I'm here with you. But I want to know what's bothering you."
He sighed and held her tighter.
"There's nothing serious sweetheart, I just feel a bit tired so I'm sucking some of your energy through a hug."
His attempt to make her smile even when he felt bad was nothing new to her. Her happiness had always been a priority over his own.
After a long warm embrace, she held his arm as they walked towards the car.
It was such an unusual afternoon. They reached her house and before getting off the car she gave him a gift, a portrait of him that she drew during class.
"This is a small gift for you. It's obviously not as pretty as the real deal though."
He admired the portrait for a while, and then looked her deeply in the eyes.
"May I kiss you?"
