Eddie's Days: Great! Better Than Ever!

Eddie Michaels woke up that morning with a huge grin plastered on his face. He was smiling. For the past three days, his chat sessions with Alexis had been absolutely great. Eddie is being reminded that she is so much more than a pretty face. Alexis is very insightful and smart, along with being wise and witty. She’s a good listener and she understands him a great deal, but what really surprised him was that Alexis actually remembered intimate and small details from their past.

Eddie couldn’t believe how Alexis remembered what he used to promise her, how he did his hair, the way he talked, what he ordered on their first date and even his favorite color. Eddie was touched that Alexis remembered all the details of their past together and adored her for that, but at the same time he felt ashamed and so stupid because for one, by remembering all the details, Alexis showed that she actually cared for him when they were together and he felt so stupid for throwing away potentially the best thing of his life.

He couldn’t help himself from being very impressed with Alexis. She also showed that she was very sweet, being a good listener and listening to him whenever he felt emotional or when his depression overwhelmed him about Natalie. Alexis made everything better and put a smile back on the young man’s face. Alexis herself just dumped her “jerky” boyfriend, that made Eddie even want to be with her. After all he went through with Natalie; he knew he could do better with her. Treat her more than he did with Natalie.

All things aside, there is one thing Eddie Michaels knew for sure, he knew that he was in a very elative mood. For the first time, he wasn’t lazy in getting up this time. He was up from his bed in a flash. He was feeling fresh, as he opened his window and smelled the morning air. The soothing air made him smile full of satisfaction. He knew that this day is going to be a great day. Today, after 3 long years, Eddie Ezra Michaels is going to meet the woman that has done a lot in making him the man he is today~ Alexis McQueen.

He was so excited; he went straight into his wardrobe to find the perfect clothes to wear to see her. He wanted to look his absolute best for Alexis. Although he knew that Alexis wouldn’t mind him looking simple, he knew, no he wants to look good for her. He stared at his wardrobe for a while and frowned a little, when he saw his options, or lack of it rather. Then he remembered a new shirt he bought and was saving for a special occasion. “Hell, this is a special occasion,” Eddie declared. He was as excited as a young boy in a huge toyshop.

He immediately took out the long-sleeved black dress shirt, and ironed it with delight. Although not very good, horrendous rather, he whistled some song that couldn’t be interpreted, as his awful whistling corrupted it. Eddie knew how bad he was at whistling, yet he didn’t care. “Nothing is going to spoil my good mood today.” Eddie declared with a huge grin on his face. He was so thrilled, that he even ironed his Levi’s jeans. He was happy. Too happy. Natalie was not on his mind. Alexis was. She was the clearest thing in his head now. He was determined not to screw up this time.

Satisfied with his ironing job, he went straight to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, twice, shaved his facial hair, shaving off his rough chin to make him look cleaner, clearer, smoother and better. He then took his shower, shampooing his already long brown hair. He remembered when he first day in college, his hair was shaved bald and how useless and obsolete his shampoo was. He gave a light chuckle thinking of his shaven head, and he wondered how Alexis would react if she saw him bald.

After a long shower, Eddie found himself dressed and ready to go. He stood in front of his full-body mirror, and thought about his hair. He then decided the best way to go was to spike his hair. After doing a good job of spiking his hair, he stopped. His spiked hair was perfect, but he fell silent. There was a bad aura circulating Eddie as his shoulder fell. Natalie always asked him to spike his hair because she always liked it that way and wouldn’t even look at him (jokingly, of course) whenever he decided on doing other hairstyles.

There was it. His first sad note of the day. He fell silent. He closed his eyes, trying his best to suck up his pain
