It was a Thanksgiving day in the United States, we tried to follow the tradition in Bulgaria, it was Friday and no one had shooting in the morning, which made it easier, we rested, we did tests to make sure everyone was without Covid, we waited to know if everyone was fine, but we took care of ourselves a lot and the negative result confirmed that, so we agreed to make a lunch to thank all the good things we were experiencing, despite this difficult year, everything was incredible.

After lunch I had agreed to make a video call with the M-Boys, who had just left football practice:

"Hey man!!!"

"Hey!"

I heard several screams and everyone spoke my name together, each trying to appear on the tiny cell phone camera, they were all sweaty from the game, asking questions and I was completely unaware of what was happening, but very happy to see my friends together.

"Hero, we miss you, come back soon!"

"I'll be right back, we're finishing the shootings..."

"But then, how is everything? Are you already speaking Bulgarian?"

"Are you kissing a lot?"

"And closing your eyes this time?"

"How's Jô?"

"Yeah! Bring her to meet us!"

I roll my eyes and answer:

"Shut up!"

"Hero will going back to London dating!"

"We lost a soldier!"

I can't stop laughing, good that Jô was in her room when I decided to call the guys:

"Man, I didn't understand anything! But I miss you too." I said.

Felix takes out his cell phone and runs away, leaving the others behind:

"Okay, now, Hero talks to me, so how's it going there? Are you managing to shoot? Are you taking care of yourself? You're not coughing in Jô, right?"

"Yes, we are taking care, I am taking care of her too..."

Without realizing I was smiling like an idiot, startled when I realize, I see the guys looking at each other with smiles in the corner of their mouths, why do they do that? Félix answers for everyone:

"We know!"

"It is very cold here, I think it will start to snow... The hotel we are in is surreal! You have no idea! We have a lot of parties here, we drink a lot, sometimes I can even train a little..."

"And... We want to know... Are you finally with Jô?"

At that moment there is a silence in the call, everyone stops and looks at me:

"I... I think we're getting along..."

"She tied you up, man!"

"Yeah... We really lost a soldier!"

"And... Do you know how you're going to do after the shootings?"

"Don't ask that! Hey Hero, do you know the gender of the baby yet?"

"Get out man, Hero, wasn't the reason you didn't stay the first time because you live far away?"

I was thoughtful and nodded:

"We still don't know what we are going to do... If we are going to continue..."

"JEEZ, I've heard that before..."

"Yeah... Shit, right..." I say.

"But Hero, think that, when do you want to have sex in Los Angeles you already have a little body."

"Shut up man! Hero, don't listen to him!"

"Jô is much more than a body, one day who knows if you behave I will introduce her to you..."

I hear knocking on the door as soon as I say this:

"Wait a minute. Who is it?"

"Me!"

My heart freezes, I look at the guys who are staring at me and realizing what had happened.

"It's her!"

"The time has come!"

"Show her to us, Hero!"

"Fuck no!" I say without thinking.

"Yeah! Let us tell her what you do when we're together!"

"Yes! Let us tell her that you suck your finger and sleep clinging to a teddy bear!"

"And has bad breath in the morning!"

"Don't be stupid, everyone has bad breath in the morning!"

"How do you eat too much..."

"That even Jô must already know..."

I roll my eyes again and answer:

"No, shut up, I'm going to hang up."

"No!!"

"I miss you guys, I can't wait to go back and see you all!"

But I stop for seconds and rethink what I just said, and I think they already know what I thought, Félix is ​​the first to speak:

"Stop H., enjoy it, we're holding the team here, we've won all games so far and we want you to play in the final with us, focus on the movie, on Jô, it's not always that we fall in love and live a romance, and stop being big-headed..."

I try to answer but everyone starts to say goodbye, with obscene faces and gestures, hang up quickly without letting me answer Félix's comment, but, I think I was happy for not having to say anything... I open the door for Jô:

"Hey."

"Hey." She was not alone, I look behind her and I saw that Chance, Carter and Kiana were with her:

"We are going to see the snow, do you want to come with us?"

They were all hooded and anxiously awaiting my answer.

"Yeah, Okay!"
