In love with my neighbor ⇝ENGLISH VERSION⇜

Chapter 24

Friday, January 25, 2019.

Today I finally see Cristina, after that news I have spent several nights without sleep or sleeping only 3 hours and with 4 exams in between. One of them just the day I could not sleep absolutely nothing.

On the other hand, and as usual, I have prepared a surprise farewell to Cristina. I know she wanted to spend today with me, but I preferred to call friends and family and tomorrow instead of her being with her family, we will be together so we can go somewhere.

It is already six o'clock in the afternoon, Cristina should be around to pick me up and go. As soon as she arrives at my house I get into her car, we kiss and then she drives off. I haven't told him what we were going to do, or where we are going, so I will be guiding him at all times.

- Park over here, it's in that bar over there - I point - We have to celebrate that you've been given this great opportunity, then we'll go back home.

- Well, it's been a long time since we went to a bar to have a drink, although I would have preferred to stay at home with you, in bed, hugging you, love...

When we parked, we got out and went to the bar. Five minutes before I had texted Talia to let them know and she confirmed that they were all ready and prepared. I open the door and as soon as Cristina enters, everyone screams.

- Surprise! - they all appear when the light comes on.

- And all this? I didn't expect it... - she blushes.

- My life, it was hard, but I managed to get everyone to come and I was lucky because your sister's friend had some uncles who own this establishment and they lent it to us all afternoon and evening.

The music starts up and everyone comes to greet her. Some people have brought her a gift or two, so while she is entertaining friends and family I have gone with Valeria and Lucia. I invited them because they have also become friends with her and I know she would be happy, because she always told me to meet them and go to a party or to the movies.

- Hey, guys, how's life? - I greet Aroa and Álvaro as soon as I see them.

- Hi, I'm pretty overwhelmed with high school - comments Álvaro.

- To tell you the truth, I'm more of the same as him - adds Aroa.

- We really miss you, we only see each other once or twice a month? - I say, a bit sad that I don't see you almost every month.

- You don't know how much I'm looking forward to finishing these two courses and going to parties like before? - says Álvaro.

- Well, I don't know if you'll be able to, because I imagine that at university it will be more of the same... - I wouldn't have any illusions about them.

- Well, on Thursdays there's always a party at the university, or so my older sister told me - Aroa adds again.

- Ah, I don't know, Cristina doesn't go to those places much - I laugh and they laugh with me.

The truth is that Cristina has only been to parties with her university friends a couple of times since I've known her, she says she doesn't like the atmosphere very much, although I think it's because she didn't go out much with Carlos before and she's not particularly excited about it anymore.

[BLACK BACKGROUND]

Hours later, many people had to leave, most of them were Cristina's family, cousins, aunts and uncles. And little by little it got emptier and emptier. It is already two o'clock at night and we are the most intimate, Talia, her friend and her uncles, owners of the bar, there are also Loli and Jesus, my parents, Cristina and me. Not counting of course the waiters. Since there are so few of us left, we decide to go home. Cristina is staying at my house tonight, so we go up to the attic.

- I can't get used to this place... - he says looking as always at all the gadgets and lights - I love this place, although maybe a little antisocial with so many consoles and video games.

- Well, I usually hang out here every day when I have nothing to do.... Imagine now when you leave, with no one to talk to? I'm not going to leave here.

- I'm forcing you to socialize, otherwise I'll send your new friends to drag you into the outside world.

- You know that since everyone started that damn high school I've become that antisocial girl I used to be. I only went out with you and once in a while with the others or with Valeria, Maria and Lucia, but almost always to do class stuff...

- You have to go out more, otherwise you're going to find my departure very tiresome, dear.

- Well... - I sigh - You'll see, won't you? - I kiss her and she nods.

This loft is only for me, the trap door has a lock and the key is only for me and Cristina. As soon as I go up to the front there is a bar with drinks, ice, soft drinks, chips and some sweets. In front of the bar there is a pool table and a few steps away a dart board. To the right, going back to the entrance there is a huge sofa, I would almost say it's a bed, in front of the sofa as there usually is in all living rooms there is a table and just in front of it, there is a long piece of furniture and above this the 72-inch TV connected to the PlayStation 4. In a drawer of the TV cabinet I have the Nintendo Switch and games for the console, in the other there are games for the PlayStation 4 and in the other drawers on the left there are several chargers, controllers, and random things that I can't remember right now.

Again at the entrance of the loft if we go to the left you find the stereo and a piece of furniture holding the router, specifically for this area of the house and in the drawers, I have several pendrives with music of all kinds.

All this is accompanied by LED strips on each of the walls. And normally, the color by preference is purple, to my perception is the perfect tone to play. And is that, another of my facets at present and which is gradually becoming my favorite, is the whole world of live, gameplays, youtubers and more... Ever since I met Maria I've been eager to create a YouTube channel and make live gameplays playing any game that I feel like playing or is in fashion and I like. She is a fan of watching live games and because of her, now I am too. I do not deny that now that Cristina will no longer be there I will not decide to create it, because I escape too much playing and without realizing it, I have started to comment on each game as if I were a connoisseur of the subject ... 

. . .

When we got to the attic and after the conversation with Cristina about having to socialize more now that she will no longer be there, we put on a movie and without realizing it we fell asleep, without even getting to see it completely.
