Call Natalie

Dialing her number as you pressed your phone against your ear, waiting for to pick up. It hasn't been that long since the two of you last met after the graduation.

The memory of being at the graduation is still fresh and vivid in your mind. You remembered attending in the biggest auditorium the university could offer. Sitting among your peers in your blue graduation garb as you sat and watched the ceremony unfolded. The principle came to the podium and delivered their speech, being all sentimental and melancholic as they would miss the seniors but also welcomed the freshmen.

Once their speech was done, they called Natalie as she would come up on the stage, presenting the entire graduates. There, she delivered a wonderful speech, coupled with her pretty face and charisma, got the whole crowd swooned. You wasn't really affected by it as you kept listening to her, listening to her sweet and angelic. Delivering a speech full of compassion and hitting every words perfectly as your eyes fixed onto her.

Eventually, she would have brief pause as she looked at you with her beautiful eyes. The two of you stared into each other's eyes for brief moment before Natalie spoke up and-

"[Insert name], how are you?" Her voice suddenly rang into your ear as you flinched and woke up from your daydreaming, getting yourself back to reality.

"O-Oh, hello Natalie" You stuttered as you could hear her chuckling from other end.

"Are you sleeping back there or are you surprised to hear me again?" She teased you as you were flustered by her words.

"N-No, I was just remembering something" You excused yourself as Natalie giggled on the other end.

"Remember what exactly?" She asked, feeling curious as you calmed yourself down and told her.

"The graduation. I know it has been weeks that happened but it feels ages for me" You joked as Natalie chuckled from the other end, feeling amused by your joke. As she usually did back then, chuckling at your joke whether funny or not. She doesn't have a good sense of humor so she doesn't know when to laugh but you like hearing her laugh regardless.

"So, why are you calling me for?" She asked as you sensed that she was in the middle of something so you decided to make it concise and brief for her to understand.

"Just asking if you want to move in with me" You told her and got silence on the other end as you felt confused and looked at your phone briefly to see if she disconnected or canceled the call before putting near your ear again.

"I would love to. Can I come tomorrow since I haven't packed yet?" She replied excitedly, with a hint of shyness as you smiled and giggled.

"Sure, sure. Take your time packing, no need to hurry" You assured her as you can sense her getting excited on the other end.

"See you tomorrow, [Insert name]. I am looking forward to seeing you again"

"See you too. It has been ages" You joked for the last time as your heard her laughing before she ended the call on her end. You fist-bumped in the air, feeling proud of accomplishing the goal as you twirled your phone and put it back into your pants' pocket, striking a pose of victory. Before presuming your tour of the house.
