It took me a few days to get back to the PH and when I arrived I met a worried Maud, although she was still in a bit of a bad mood, because in amidst my disappearance I ended up forgetting and I didn't go to Germany with her and Evi. She just wasn't as angry as she could have been because she told me that it was on this trip that they took the opportunity to make their relationship official and now they are girlfriends for anyone who wants to know and ask.

We were the first to arrive and she told me that Dirk and Lotte did not like the conversation they had with Yoongi, who intended to speak only with Dirk initially. Apparently Yoongi was very direct in saying that what was separating him from me was the comments from our friends and that they were to stop questioning us about our relationship.

Dirk did not like it because he thought he had the right to celebrate our relationship, despite having already apologized to me for the rudeness of meddling in this matter; while Lotte told Maud that she didn't like being prevented from asking about our relationship because she thinks that if they don't ask us, the two of us will not spontaneously tell anyone about anything and she thinks she must know, in order to protect me from Yoongi.


"I honestly don't understand why she thinks she has to protect me from him." I said in a whisper, feeling frustrated.

"I think it's prejudice, because he's always with different women. But honestly, if it doesn't make a difference to you, I don't know how it can matter to others."

"And I'm far from being a virgin maiden, right? I've had a lot of one-night stands and relationships that revolved around sex, so I can't judge his behavior. And, honestly? I feel from the beginning that his intentions with me are different from it all."

"And how do you feel about that?" She sipped her beer and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Insecure, but fine. Does it make sense? The idea of ​​a serious relationship scares me a little, but I feel great with him and I want to see where this goes."


She looked at me and relaxed, and it looked like she was tense with curiosity to know how I really was. Maud has always been there for me and always listened to me. Despite her mostly playful and debauched ways, she has always been a very faithful friend who really respects my individuality.

After she updated me on the events of the past 10 days when I was absent, I got up for the first cigarette of the night.

The street was cold and we were at that time of winter that it looks like it will get more and more cruel, until temperatures rise again. It is at this time of year that I most want to quit smoking. It is true that the bar has an indoor smoking area, but the smell of that room makes me sick and that's why I find myself huddled here, shaking my legs to try to keep myself curled up and feeling the cold bite my naked hand while I hold my cigarette.

As I dragged on my cigarette I decided to go to the end of the sidewalk and balance myself on the curb. As I take one step after another, I look straight ahead and then see a figure all in black walking towards me with a quiet smile on his face almost buried in the collar of his coat.


"I'm glad you're here! Coming here without you is not as fun. "

"I came afraid of regretting it, but so far everything is fine. There's only Maud in there yet." I looked to the bar's large window and saw her with her head down, using her phone. "Are you going to smoke now? I didn't want to leave her alone for much longer..."

"No. Let's go in, it's too cold out here." He held out his hand to me and waited while I put what was left of my cigarette out and threw it away.


We established a routine quickly and well. We arrived separately and left together. We had dinner somewhere or at one of our houses and spent many nights together.

Being with him brought me a new tranquility, a sense of familiarity in each new discovery. We let go of control and everything fell into place naturally.
