Be strong (English Translation)

After this phone call with Olivia, Tom was as if replaced.

He laughed more. Met again with his friends to make music or just chill.

He went back to the public without "disguise". And that also pleased his fans. They've been worried around him all this time. Because usually he contacted them regularly on Instagram or Twitter. But in the last few months only barely.

Today he meets Olivia for the first time.

Because before that, they only ever talked on the phone. Since she was still busy in another city.

Tom was nervous. This was the first date with a woman since his last girlfriend, with whom he had separated at the end of last year after 8 years of relationship.

He stood in front of his closet for at least half an hour and thought about what to wear.

They went to a pretty restaurant. Derek stood behind him and watched him.

Tom turned around when he saw him. "What?" he asked with a laugh. "Oh nothing, I'm just watching you" "Now that you're already there, you can also help me find out!" said Tom.

Then they stood together in front of his closet and looked inside.

Then suddenly Willow came rushing in. Scaled the two on their side and grabbed a piece from his closet. She put it in front of Tom's legs and barked once. Tom picked it up and laughed. It was cream-colored pants. "Thank you, Willow," said Tom and stroked Willow as a reward. Derek then looked for a white shirt in addition to the trousers. And Tom got dressed.

The white shirt matched the pants perfectly.

Just in time for the agreed time, Tom picked up Olivia. She was wearing a cream dress. She wore her hair open. She looked beautiful, Tom thought.

She slowly walked to his car. He got out and opened the door for her. Olivia was very pleased. She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek as a greeting.

For Tom, it all felt so familiar. In the presence of Olivia, Tom felt good. No negative feelings. When she got in, Tom also got back in the car and they drove off, in the direction of the restaurant.

On the way, they talked little. Tom didn't really know what to say, and neither did Olivia. But the silence was not unpleasant.

The Ride did not take long. When they found a parking space, Tom first got out and held Olivia open the door.

They went to the restaurant. Their seat, which they have been assigned, was at the window, they looked closely at a river. It was beautiful as the sun set so slowly.

First, they both investigated the cards and picked something to eat. After ordering, Oliva said "how beautiful it is here! Thank you!" "That here is my favorite restaurant, here I was always with my ex." Replied Tom.

And when he said this sentence, he noticed how Olivia's gaze changed. But she said nothing. Then Tom just decided to keep talking.

"My dog, Willow picked out my outfit today. Because me and my best friend Derek couldn't decide." Olivia laughed at it. "Looks good, she chose really well." She smiled. "What kind of breed is Willow?!" "A Labrador," Tom said, showing her a picture on his phone.

"Such a beautiful dog," she said. "I also have a dog. Or rather, my mother has a dog and I take care of him in the time she is in the clinic." When she said that, she became a bit sad. "What kind of breed is your dog?" Tom asked to distract her. "a puddle," she said. "Beautiful, white and very big". Her face became happier again after she talked about the dog.

Then they both laughed.

And then came their food. Both had the dish of the day. Tagliatelle with mussels. Tom doesn't really like shells. But he took it for Olivia's sake.

It didn't look so bad, Tom thought. "Oh man, it looks good," Oliva said with a beaming smile on her lips.

They ate and talked about different things. After they were both finished, they ordered dessert.

While they waited for dessert, Tom stretched out his hand outside the table. After a while, Olivia put her hand on it. When she put her hand on his, Tom felt a warmth rise in himself.

He hadn't felt anything like that for quite a while. It was always cold in him. "You have cold hands," Oliva said with a laugh.

"Yes, unfortunately," said Tom. "Then I warm them a little, then they get warmer," she said, taking both hands from him in her hand.

When the dessert came, they split. They laughed all the time. Tom really enjoyed this time with Olivia. She made him feel the happiness.

Outside you could see the stars. It was a very clear night. Tom smelled the cold clear night air. It made him feel good.

They walked slowly down the street. Tom took Olivia's hand. She smiled and leaned her head against him. Shortly before the car, Tom stopped briefly. Olivia looked at him in amazement. "All right?" she asked him. Tom didn't say anything, he just stood there.

She then stood in front of him and hugged him. He had to grin briefly as she put her hands around him. She was almost the same size as Tom.

Tom then put his hands around her waist. And so, they just stood there for a short while and enjoyed the evening air and the starry night.

Then Tom broke away from the hug, gave her a kiss on the forehead and then they went on to the car.

Arriving at the car, they got in.
