Moonlight - Pause

Chapter 50

The hot water, which ran through my body, made me want to stay longer in the shower, but unfortunately, I agreed with Isaac to go to Kolov's copy. If I had known, I wouldn't have arranged anything. Bathing is a sacred moment for me.

A few minutes later I stopped the whining and forced myself to get out under the shower. I dried my body with the towel and put some clothes. I didn't even bother to dry my hair.

On the way to my brother's room I felt looks towards me, especially from the girls. Wet hair always works, it's a shame i'm not interested in anyone at the moment. When I was about to knock on the door, it opens and my brother shows up with a wonderful smile.

- Someone is happy.

- Indeed!

- Can I guess?

- You can.

- You're going to see your girlfriend - I said.

- Yeeeees - his tone of voice made me question if he really was an adult. 

- You know, I'm still waiting for you to introduce her.

- When we go back to the capital, you'll get to know her, I swear.

- Great, I want to be an uncle - Isaac laughed - I'm serious.

- I know.

We were already on the outside, when suddenly a light brown long hair appeared in my peripheral vision. A hair that I already know very well. I look directly and see Anya and her instructor, who was pulling her. Clearly they are trying to hide.

- Why did you stop talking ?

- Whatever you do, don't look now. Anya and her instructor are behind you and they look suspicious as fuck - as soon as I said this, he looked back. Why do I even try?

- They seem intimate.

- Stay here and pretend we're talking.

- But we're talking.

- Just shut up!

How do you want me to pretend we're talking, if I have my mouth shut? - he asked just to annoy me.

When I look again, Anya was kissing Elijah, he turned his hand down to her ass. Anya corresponded by pulling him closer and she pulled her hair in an intense way.

- You're rolling your eyes, little brother.

- Let's go to another place.

- Why are you upset?

- Do I need to explain?

- It's their lives.

- You know that you may also have problems because of this. She can be expelled and you will not be promoted because she is under your responsibility.

- I have the situation under my eye, don't worry.

- Whatever - I start walking to the forest and Isaac follows me in silence.

When we arrived, I sat on a rock

and he sats too. I breathe in and breathe out several times to control the anger I'm feeling.

-  Only I see a huge problem in the relationship between the two? Whether it's sex or love, it will be problematic. Why doesn't anyone else see this? Not to mention that Elijah is not a decent guy ... What does she see in him?

- Stop thinking about it.

-I'm not thinking about it.

- Of course not . Do you like Anya?

- Just as a colleague.

- It's just that you are jealous, Alex.

- Jealous?

- Yes, obviously I don't know everything but from what I've seen you don't like Anya's male friendships. First Dominick Wouston, now Elijah Prescott...

- It's not that ... I ... I don't want talk about it.

- I understand. I just want you to know that I'm here if you need me, don't let anger or sadness or your traumas consume you and don't lose valuable friendshipsbecause of stubbornness.

After saying this, he was silent and we both heard the sounds of nature. This is my refuge. I've been coming here a few times after running. Alone. To think about my life and everything thatmade me be here. If that day had never existed, maybe I would be a college sudent. Isaac would be a university student too, probably in law. Alan didn't have enough time to decide, but I'm sure my parents would support him in any of his decisions.

– Thank you.

–For what? 

– For you being you.
