I was biting my nails for the first time in years as I stared at Joe. I couldn't stand it anymore and I entrusted him the task of calling Rudi to know about him. I looked dismayed at my perfect nail now spoiled as my faithful Joe was doing me a favour once more.
- Amandine? Where is she?
He turned to me raising his eyebrow. I mimicked with my lips I'M NOT HERE.
- She's busy. Yep, with Farrokh. Okay, tomorrow she's talking to you. Take care.
I looked daggers at him as he put down the phone.
- Tomorrow he's not gonna hear my voice. Why did you tell him that?
- Because that's what he wanted to hear.
- That's not the way things work, Joe. Not always we can get what we want.
- I don't know why you don't trust him. He's a great guy. Good-looking, nice, polite, sexy. He has it all. Such a pity he's not gay.
- Clint also has all those things. Didn't you work things out?
- We're giving ourselves a bit of a break. Don't let Freddie know it, okay? I don't wanna hear his "older brother" speech.
- What's wrong?
- I think it's not a good idea getting involved with him.
- Why? You really liked Clint. He was the first man with whom you felt really good since Freddie. You told me that.
- I know what I've told you but there's a little detail. I'm gonna die.
- If I'm hearing that again, I will kill you myself. Tell me what the doctor told you about the reddish spot.
- I don't know, he deferred me to a dermatologist.
- So?
- I'm not going.
- Joe, don't be so stubborn.
- You're a fine one to talk. The queen of the stubborns.
- This is serious. It's your health. You look thinner and thinner.
- So do you. Being in love don't suit you fine.
- You want me to change the conversation but you won't get it.
- Tomorrow when I'm calling again, I will drag you to the phone to talk to him. He just wants to hear your voice. He's soooo cute.
- I've told you before. I lost my faith in him. It's so hard to trust again when something like that happens.
- It didn't happen anything objectionable. That relationship surely was already over. He didn't cheat on you.
- I think your idea about cheating is a little different than mine. His girlfriend didn't seem to treat me as though their relationship was over.
