Unexpected Stranger (EN)

*4*

*Harry*

I still can't understand what I'm doing. I'm sitting in a car with a man, whose music I love and heading to a nearby cafe. The reason for this meeting is my partner's alleged apology. We sit next to each other, both of us busy in ourthoughts. So there is peace and quiet in the car. It's not an unpleasant silence, on the contrary, we both have something to think about. This strange atmosphere was disturbed only by the sound that came from the radio. My favorite song started playing. Specifically known as Walls. I completely forgot that the owner of this amazing song is sitting next to me. Without permission, I added to the volume and started singing along with the radio. I ignored the fact that Louis looked at me like a fool and kept going. What surprised me was the fact that Louis joined me and started singing too.

This is how we continued to the cafe. Louis parked the car and opened the door for me like a gentleman. With quiet thanks, we went inside. Since I chose the place to sit, we walked into my favorite Caffe. It's called Beachwood Caffe. The local barista knows me like her shoes. So it was not unexpected that as soon as I entered, she smiled like the sun and was walking towards me. I said Louis to sit down and sit at the table too.

"Hi Harry so what's it going to be today?" Doris asked me before I could greet her. "Hi, I'll have a cappuccino and brownies today, thank you." I placed my order and turned my attention to Louis. "Please latte for me, as well as brownies, thank you." He said his request and turned his attention in my direction. Meanwhile, Doris went to prepare our batch of caffeine and the desserts.

"So, you wanted to talk to me, go on then" I cleared my throat, when his staring at me didn't stop. He blinked a few times, as if waking from a trance and scratching his neck nervously. "Well, probably the first thing I want to mention is that I couldn't stand up for you back then. There were too many journalists and my company has a huge problem with confessing to bisexuality. Well until recently. I changed my agency half a year ago and everything is fine with it. " he sain everything on one exhale and waited for my reaction. I had no idea how to answer him.

"Look, Louis, I get it why you couldn't but that didn't mean you had to stop Kevin when he wanted to help me," I snapped at him with a neutral expression on my face. "I had no choice," he sighed and rubbed the bridge of the nose. "You know, it wasn't as easy as most people thought. They threatened me that if I applied to the same sex, my family would take it badly. I couldn't let that happen. "He looked at me desperately. I just stared blankly, trying to see if he was just kidding. But I didn't find any indication. How anyone can do this. Restricting a person is one thing but still threatening to harm him and his loved ones? This is disgusting.

"Oh my god, Louis, I didn't know that. I'm sorry and I totally understand, why you had to do it. Don't worry about it anymore. The main thing is that you got away from them and you can finally live freely. "I finished my monologue and showed him my holes in my cheeks for the first time. His eyes gleamed with happiness and a little smile played on his face. But there was a secret hidden behind it. If I would know in that moment, what secret that was, I wouldn't want to see him again.

"Thank you, Harry. You don't even know, what a stone just fell from my heart. I'm glad you understand. But now for another thing. I couldn't notice that you knew my music and from the fact that you sang it in the car, something tells me that you love it. "He watched with a sly look as my cheeks turned red. Under the table, where he couldn't see it, I started playing with my fingers and figuring out, what to say as an argument and in the end I decided on the truth.

"Yes, I listen to your music and I like it, otherwise I wouldn't be at your concert but at the same time it doesn't mean that I'm a crazy fan, who is slammed into the idea of ​​a 'perfect' musician." I finished my speech and used quotation marks next to the word perfect. Louis didn't look very happy about it. What did he expect from me to be like everyone else? No, sorry. I have some dignity. 

"And are you going to one this year?" He preferred to turn away from the previous topic and ask another question. "I decided to skip them this year. I don't want to experience the same thing as last year." I said calmly, sipping my half-empty coffee. He just nodded and imitated my actions. The rest of the meeting went very pleasantly. I've learned more about Louim than the boulevard knew in the nine years he's been singing. I won't lie, it was wonderful time with him but I can't let him get too close to my body. He is not an angel, as it may seem at first glance. He's the devil in the body of an innocent-looking boy.

We spent a few hours together and there was still something we could talk about. The evening was approaching to the end and with it the time to go home. Louis was so kind and drove me home. He accompanied me to the house and with the promise that we would meet again, we said goodbye to each other. I was ready to interrogate my sister as soon as I crossed the threshold of home. But nothing happened. I tried to call to the house but no one answered. I rejoiced quietly and went quickly into my kingdom.

I had nothing to complain about. Today was one of the better ones. Of course, I didn't know what the next day would bring me. I didn't think about that now and rather started doing the math task we were given today. In fact, this subject is the least interesting in the entire world. After long and relentless minutes, I'm finally done and can visit the shower. I don't know something better and relaxing than letting hot drops of water fall on me. The banging of the door interrupts me from my relaxing moment. That means one thing. They are at home and I will not avoid confessions.

Like a mouse, I disappeared from the bathroom and tried to sneak into the room. My plan was interupted by my sister, who was sitting on my bed with her legs crossed. The only option I had now was to flip everything out, hoping it wouldn't go into much detail. After an endless half  hour, she finally left and I was free. During her questioning, it was getting dark outside. Just the opportunity to climb into warm bed and spend the last moments before sleep on social media. I have no idea how long I spent over them because I fell into a restful sleep.

Hi everyone! 

Again with another part. Hope you liked it and I will see you in the next one!

Bye! Treat people with kindness.
