Honestly, Dimi felt as if she was the last one standing. Everyone seemed to have someone these days. Emily and Liam were married. Even Jools and Mick were looking for a new place to reside.
"Well, you could live here, if you wanted," Mick had said ever so casually.
Dimi only sighed. Maybe she should. Really, she didn't know what to do. They could just find their own home. They were married now. Why did it feel she was her own worst enemy?
Naturally, it was nice to see people happy, but could that be her? It was true, she wasn't sure how she felt about Bishop. After all, he was pretty much his silent self. It was as if she had to figure it out all on her own. And she hated it. Why was life such a bitter pill?
Sure she smiled at her brother. She had to be happy for him and Jools. What else could she do?
Of course, Bishop had said that one time about them getting married, but it felt to her that it had fizzled out. Was he just waiting on her?
Here it was May. And she felt more alone than ever.
"It's all up to you," Jools had said. "Maybe you like being alone."
It made her cry a river now. Still, the past caught up to her. It had ended so badly with Cash. God, could she even say his name now.?She didn't want to know what he looked like. Could she be the same to Bishop too?
"What are you doing?" She called Bishop on her android as if he bitter give her an answer.
"Waiting for you," he said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Dimi blurted.
"What do you think it means?" His question hurt. "Is it because I'm not who you want me to be?"
"No." She practically wailed as she paced her bedroom.
"I'm not perfect. We both know that," Bishop told her.
She nodded. He was silent.
"Do you want me to come over?" He finally asked.
"Well." She wasn't quite sure if he should, but if he did....then what?
"Look, let's see if we can live together," he finally suggested.
"You and me?" She couldn't. Could she?
"Well, after your brother and his husband move out."
She nodded.
"Did you just nod?" Bishop asked.
She cleared her throat.
"I think you're becoming me," he laughed. Dimi laughed too. Bishop might be right.

May ... love time :-)
ReplyDeleteAaaaw...poor Dimi, but it does sound like it may work out with Bishop? I hope things work out for her:)
ReplyDeletePS Ellie, thank you so much for the well wishes! It's so scary, but because we are all fully boosted, so far, things have been manageable. Fingers crossed I don't get it, but at this point, who knows? And so glad to hear you liked the Alice painting too. That has to be one of my most fave paintings to date. That's awesome to hear you got to do some watercolour too, and that you crocheted two hats!
I loved the chapter. It's strange that everyone around you is becoming adults and that feeling is "because I'm not at the same stage"

I'd been wondering what happened to Dimi and Bishop! I know Bishop is an acquired taste, but I thought that he and Dimi were good for each other. So, I was psyched to read this installment's ending: ' "I think you're becoming me," he laughed. Dimi laughed too. Bishop might be right." So subtle, so sweet.
ReplyDeletePerfection!
I almost missed my leopard in the collage. At first I thought it was flowers! Once again, your creativity knows no bounds. :)
