Between two fires

Sophie Fisher

First morning is first morning. Everything always had its order. Long ago, when I was a little girl, the 3 boys always ran into my room and grabbed me, then ran straight to the beach with me, where they threw me into the water. Everything was that simple. However, I didn't expect that this year. I knew the boys had changed and we had all changed. Something else has become important in our lives. When I got up in the morning, I pressed my watch and checked the time. It was 7:24. I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. I heard a soft knock

-Sophie, Sophie, are you awake? --came the question from behind the door

-Yes,-- I said and pulled my blanket over me from the front. I was only wearing the little silk nightgown that Pascale bought me for my 17th birthday. It was Arthur who softly pressed the doorknob and entered my door

-Good morning girl,-- he said and sat down on my bed

-Good morning, --I said

-Don't be upset about Charles being so grouchy yesterday. A lot has changed in his life, --he said

-It's okay Arthur, --I said and smiled--
-What will be your plan today?,-- I asked when the old Arthur, who never sat idle at home, returned

-We'll go to the beach first, then we'll have ice cream, we'll have lunch somewhere, and finally I'll show you my favorite entertainment place here in Monaco. I can legally drink alcohol now, so we're going out drinking today, --he said and touched my hand. I didn't have a problem with it as it was completely normal between friends. And we were friends.

Arthur went out and I got dressed. I paid attention to every little detail on my clothes, because Charles could appear in the house at any time and say that I feel the same way about you as you do, but this sentence will probably never come from the mouth of the middle Leclerc boy. I went down the stairs and saw mother and Pascal who were preparing breakfast.

The first morning was always ham and eggs. Every first day. That's what Pascale did today. I sat down at the breakfast table and bought myself a plate. Arthur sat next to me and did the same thing I did. Charles didn't come down to breakfast

-Amber, I'm serious, your daughter is beautiful, --said Pascale during breakfast

-Don't embarrass poor Sophie in front of the boys, --said mother begging and laughing

-Come on, I can take compliments, --I said and smiled. Arthur just looked at me questioningly and I knew immediately what he wanted to ask

-Do you have a boyfriend Sophie Fisher?

-No, there hasn't been,-- I told the big truth about my life.

-I thought the boys were just chasing you, --Arthur said. And I just slapped his hand

-I'm going! --Charles came down the stairs and turned towards the front door

-Charles! , --his mother shouted after him

-What is it?, --the boy turned back

-My dear, at least have breakfast with our guests, --Pascale said, looking into her son's eyes. Charles felt his mother's gaze and put down his bag and sat down directly next to me. He took out a plate and put some ham on the plate

-Charles, what's wrong with you?, --I whispered to him, but he didn't take his eyes off his breakfast

-What are you going to do today Arthur? --Charles asked

-We're going to the beach. I thought you could lend me your boat,-- his brother said a little softly

-Take it, but carefully,-- said Charles.
--Can i go now? ,-- he asked tensely. Charles has changed. He completely ignores me and I don't want to know him anymore.

I got into the Ferrari and we went straight to the port. Arthur drove fast like no other. I was glad to have such a friend who knows so much about cars. When we arrived I could already see the Monaco flag ship. It was bigger than I expected. The side of the ship shone beautifully when the sun shone on it.

-What a ship, --it slipped my mind

-Don't deny Sophie that you don't like it. I know Charles has good taste in choosing boats.

-Yes, that's right, --I approved

When I got on the boat, I thought what if I didn't stress any more and let the moment go a bit. I remembered the habit of the first day, that I always got wet because of the boys. I couldn't have had a better idea than to throw Arthur into the water. Seriously. I asked him for a glass of water when we were further inside, i.e. farther from the port, and I took his hand and spat into the blue water.

-SOPHIE! , --Arthur yelled and I just laughed.

-What, you didn't get wet?, --I laughed as hard as I could

-You're not normal, --the boy said, but then he laughed too

Then I also jumped into the water next to Arthur. I felt my body release and I finally laughed uncontrollably. After we got out of the water we just started talking

-What does it mean that you don't have a girlfriend? --I asked the boy

-Nothing serious. I don't serve the real thing and that's why I don't have it. I think you can imagine how many girls dream of at least holding my hand.

-Yes, I know, --I answered.-
-And what about Charles?-- I asked

-Charles broke up with Felicity 1 month ago....

-I didn't even know, --I said and bowed my head.

-That's why he's been so weird lately. He has changed a lot. According to him, his life was ruined....-- said the boy .Charles was my everything. I always hoped for the first kiss of my life from him, but now that I had a girl in my life, I don't feel good enough for him anymore.
