list of worries
The recording has started.
---beep---
The recorder started with it's meant to sound sexy monotone voice.
Sounds so chaos and bursting of balloons came from the living room. As a guy dressed in white shorts and a yellow striped t-shirt, leaning against the kitchen counter appeared in front of the screen. He reached out to get the biscuits from the shelf above while staring into the lens, making other snacks shift.
"Watch out." The girl holding the hand cam said.
He gave a lopsided grin catching the box of biscuits with his hands and an empty Tupperware on his head.
The girl took some steps back and went towards the chaos. Doors and doors. Wooden shelves lined with hardbound classics and tables dressed in printed cloth with heavily blossomed girls in a various dance pose. The house itself looked awkward with it's a new company.
The girl went ahead and stopped in front of a polished wooden door. A perfectly French manicured hand, highlighting a delicate gold bracelet appeared in front of the screen and carefully opened the door as if scared to break it.
"Oh sorry", the girl to two shocked, red and out of breath faces. "You probably don't know where the birthday boy is, do you?"
"I don't know where that rat is, get lost!"
"Thanks" the girl whispered and went on her way.
White heels clicked against the tiled floor and a dusty blue skirt flickered in the frame. The girl went around the house, with dancing people, drunk people, staring into space people and making out or about to make out people until she again reached the kitchen.
The guy had left and the Tupperware played on the breakfast bar. Three wallflowers lining next to each other looked into the lens and one of them gave an empty half wave and then pointed towards the pantry.
The door of pantry opened and one silhouette came into frame standing under a shelf filled with more Tupperware.
"I can't do this anymore!" The boy whispered. "You note everything freacking thing, our home is covered with lists then why can't you?"
"Aye! Can't you let it go today?"
"Make a list." The guy ordered handing over a box. "Make a list of your worries."
The hidden person placed a figure on the other's chest, "I tried, alright! I tried my best to make a bloody list."
"Then where is it, huh?" The guy whispered holding onto the finger.
"I tried, but I ended up worrying if we have enough paper for this."
The hidden person shoved the box back to the dumbfounded guy and walked past blocking the camera with a hand.
"Delete this."
