ARE YOU WITH ME?

Prologue

'Why don't you have any friends? ' he said as he lay on the floor and put his arm under his head, always finding a comfortable spot for himself.

''Because I am a bit miserable for these matters. '' I said frowning and playing with my fingers, I never know if this game will work or why we are doing this, whether it is necessary.

I had insisted on him to give me some tips on men, but I can't help wondering if I'll be able to do it. I say tips but it's a huge A1 level course.

"Don't start again, tell me now." He snorted.

"I will not deny that the past has scars on my heart. And that my past is full of dementors. '' I said with a shrug.

I wasn't going to deny, no, because it wasn't my fault that people in my past got in wrong with me or betrayed me. I did not choose this. Even if I did, would that justify them?

While I was struggling with his questions, I wet my neck and a little face with sea water so as not to melt at forty degrees. Why did we come to the beach in this hot weather if we weren't going to swim?

"Dementors? '' he asked with a laugh.

''It's them! '' I grimaced as much as possible. Even remembering them was boring.

"What's on your mind again?" he asked again.

''I'm so pathetic. "I groaned and dropped myself onto the hard planks of the pier.

"Come on, let's start our session again! ''

Hey i can hear you Greek god, unfortunately not everyone can be like you!

"I'm hopeless, I'm serious. '' I said. I was serious, but I couldn't help but laugh, I covered my face with my hands.

'' Come here. '' He said, then grabbed my arms and pulled my head into his lap.

"Have you ever been dumped because you couldn't kiss well? ''

"Of course!" He widened his eyes and raised his voice, as if it were in his nature, but we both knew he was lying.

He was such a perfect guy that you could hardly believe him even when he was lying. He was very good. More. How could it be so good? No, you can't pretend like it's your job to keep my spirits up and you're having fun doing it!

I rolled my eyes at him with a laugh, "You are funny."

"What do you think, I even sneezed in your face."

My God, give me strength! How could I not pull away from him even when I dreamed of this?

He scratched his nose, got serious. Scratching his nose was his way of saying i'm serious. "Their loss. I mean you, losing you."

"Let's put an end to this game, for men I'm just a toy for their huge egos. I know I'm not a toy or anything, but how can I explain, men are such egotistical beings, saving your presence, because they all have a blind buyer, they think they are as scarce as hen's teeth and act like it's their right to annoy the opposite sex. ''

"Look at me, Sylvia, you are no one's toy, nor can you be. It doesn't matter if I am here or not, you won't allow it anyway, but I will always be there for you when you need it, and I will not allow it even if you allow it. We started a game and we will continue to do so. ''

''It won't work. ''

"If it doesn't work, at least we'll have fun. Do you even doubt me? " he said, raising an eyebrow and grinning.

I shook my head and smiled at him. I never doubted it.

''Are you with me Freckled? ''
