Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 19

"Hey man! You are really happy to see me!" Alex exclaims amused looking down.

"Oh come on !!!" I cover myself with my hands shaking my head.
Jo got me horny and I didn't think anyone else could be at the door right now!

"I wanted to ask you for advice, but if it's a wrong time..." he chuckles "Is there Jo by chance?" he looks around suddenly in alarm.

"No, tell me..." I snort

"And you were like that for... ok, forget it!" He continues to laugh and sits on the sofa.
I take a chair and settle down, hoping that this erection will pass quickly, since it is not really the time to show itself in all its glory...

I take my cell phone to warn Jo, in case she thinks of coming here like I did before with her...

Hero: Alex is here, see you later?

But I probably don't make it in time because there is a knock on the door just as I press - Enter -

"Wait..." I get up and go to open the door again...
This time it's Felix!
Is there a party in this room and I didn't know it?

"Ah there you are! Are you finished?" he smiles at me entering "Hey Alex! What are you doing here?"

"I wanted some advice... two will be even better!" He gets nervous on the sofa as Felix joins him and I go back to sit in the chair...

Alex takes a deep breath and runs his hand over his face, closing his eyes...
"I have no idea where to take Mia to dinner tonight, I'm terrified of screwing up... you know I'm not good at these things, I panic!"

We burst out laughing, remembering the various disastrous outings of Alex "Nothing will ever be worse than the bowling green..." Felix rages

"Or the sports shop, when you had to buy a pair of socks and it took you half an afternoon..." I add laughing

"You really are friends uh..." he snorts "I'm serious!"

"Ok, ok... let's be serious!" I compose myself for a moment "You could take her to the restaurant, easy..."

"Yes, but which one?"

"One particular..." I open google on my mobile and start doing a quick search "Wait..."

"And don't be so nervous, it's Mia... she's the easiest going girl I know!"

"But if you've known her for 2 days like me..." Alex points out and a smile escapes me as I continue to look for the right restaurant...

There is a knock on the door again and I get up to go and open it, always with my eyes on the phone screen...

I look up as the door opens and find myself in front of Jo in a black t-shirt, a red checked mini skirt and boots.

Those boots.

The ones that go up to her knee and that gave me an embarrassing erection in the middle of an interview in Paris.

Those boots, exactly those!

I gasp staring at her like a fool, unable to make any sound.

"Hey..." She smiles at me

I hurry to close the door behind me, so as not to show her to my friends...

"Oh my God Jo..." I take a breath

"What's up?" She looks at me mischievously.

"There are Alex and Felix in here..."
I turn quickly pointing to the door
"And I..." I look at her again from head to toe and lose my breath several times...
