Te quiero no por quien eres, sino por quien soy cuando estoy contigo

I love you not for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you.

"So, what happened with Mercedes last night, you said you had to talk to her about something and you didn't want to be interrupted?" Aaron asks, leaning against the kitchen island and facing me at the stove.
"Oh that..." i say thoughtfully, with back to him, wondering if i should share the information my sister entrusted to me in confidence.
"Yeah, what was that about?" he asks casually, and i turn around to see him throw a couple of grapes he took from the fridge into his mouth.
I watch him chew as if it was the most exotic thing that ever existed.
He watches me watch him, and raises his eyebrow.
Well?" he asks, raising himself up to sit on the white Marble island top, with a sink in the middle.
The scene is so casual, so natural it's almost unreal...i don't think i will ever get used to seeing Aaron domesticated, bare foot in the kitchen.
"Anytime now, or do you prefer to gawk and swoon over me all night" he says cockily and i throw a kitchen towel at him, which he dodges with a laugh.
"Now, quit stalling and tell me what's going on with your sister?" he asks more seriously.
"Uhmm, well.." i say, deciding what to say.
"....The thing is, I noticed that lately, she hadn't been herself, kind of withdrawn, and sad, and i guess everyone else in the family kind of noticed too, and we were all worried. Hoever, she wasn't willing to talk to anyone about it...so i asked her to come over and we had a chance to talk." i say.
He looks at me, waiting for me to continue...but i don't.
"I take it you don't want to share the details." he asks rhetorically.
"I...well.." I purse my lips.
"You don't want to talk about it? It's private? ok, i get it..." he murmurs.
"It's just that, it's not my story to share and i feel like i would be betraying her trust." i say, biting my lip.
"Got it.." he says sharply, then throws a couple of more grapes into his mouth.
"Just thought that we were now on that level you know, where we can talk about anything and everything" he says and i look up to see the obvious humor in his tone reflected on his face and i smile.
"Why? just because we spent two nights together, suddenly we are soulmates or something, baring each others secrets?" i retort and he smiles, then laughs out loud.
