He was inside his car waiting for James to finish school. He took a look at his watch and thought "Where is he?". He was about to exit the car when from his mirror he saw James. Wait. Who is next to him? ". He knew exactly who she was. It was her. The same woman, with the blue eyes and the infinity legs, he met yesterday. Taylor.
She was getting closer holding James's hand. Joe took a deep breath and jumped out of the car. Taylor took away her hand from James's and he went straight to his uncle to hug him. Yesterday they had their first ever argument and James loves his uncle so much that he can't keep being mad at him.
Later Taylor did some gestures with her hands that she wanted to talk to Joe. He nodded and suggested James to get in the car.

As James got into the car, Joe approached the blonde lady. She was more beautiful than he could remember. He took a deep breath and spoke.

"Hey. Is everything okay? Did James do something he shouldn't?" he asked

"No no no... Everything is good I just wondered if I can talk to you for a second...about James" she says to him

"Sure, tell me. Is it something important". You could see in his eyes he was afraid of something

"I don't know I just...today in the classroom we had a discussion about a passage that we all read together. It was about love and he said something like love doesn't exist." she told him sincerely

"Yes it's true. So what?"he was confused

" Wait you taught him that? "she widened her eyes

" No but sometimes I'm just confused and I talk to myself trying to solve problems and stuff. He might have heard me saying it. It's not that big deal "he answered

"You don't believe in love? "she mumbled

"No. Of course not. At least not anymore. Love is like driving a new Maserati down dead end street and then the Maserati breaks down and you're alone there in that dead end street. There's no flowers, no happiness. Just sadness and fear and later break. That's what love truly is. It can shatter your heart into million pieces. So no, I don't believe in love. Do you? " Joe said and she was taken aback by his answer.

" Of course and I do. I do believe in love. Love is not always like what you described. Love is something pure, it can offer peace in your heart. If you take the right way with your Maserati you won't end up to that dead street alone." she said looking at him directly in the eyes

" Look... I just...i can't love anyone and nothing. Only my nephew. Except from him I-...I just don't have any feelings. Okay if I see a beautiful woman I'll say wow, she's so beautiful. But none of those women tried to take a look at Joe. I mean my inside Joe. They were only with me because of my appearance, my money and just to gain fame cause yes I admit I'm famous. But none of them looked deep into my heart to see what's hidden there. Do you know how much painful this is? "he says by talking silently at her.

"Joe... Believe me in my life I've suffered a lot... I had some fails in relationships because no one really loved me or cared about me but I never stopped believing in love. Seriously how were you able to do it. I can't. I want love. I want to absorb love from somebody just like a flower absorbs water. But I can't. I can't find the one for me. Yes they are many men that proposed me to be their girlfriend but I could see in their eyes what was about to happen. Me next month crying for losing him. It's like a blue emotion if you get it. Sadness, fear and crying. I want to feel the red one. The red emotion which is love and passion and sometimes anger but all relationships have arguments and all those things. "she said but the she thought that she was sharing too much

" I always waited to feel the red emotion as you say but it never came in my hands. "he said

" you know I think we think the same just with some exceptions. I believe in love you don't "she said
