"There is no way she doesn't recognize you" Chase said and grabbed his drink
"It's better this way" I said and drink my beer
"You literally torture yourself"

"I know, but we were just 10 years old" "I was just a stupid little boy that loved a 8 year old girl" "Sounds stupid but it was true"

"But you left with no notice, not even a goodbye"
"I had no other choice"
"YOU COULD TELL HER THE TRUTH" Chase yelled at me

"You don't know her, I will destroy her, I already did one time" I said and got up
"Where are you going" Chase said
"Away from you and your terrible obsession with Aurora" I said
"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO, I'M HER BEST FRIEND" He yelled at me
"I WAS HER BEST FRIEND TOO UNTIL YOU CAME TO HER LIFE" I said

I left the bar and enter the car when a message popped up on my screen
It was Aurora

- Are you free tonight?
- Yes, why?, what happened?
- I just need so company and I want to thank you for all the things you did
- Don't be ridiculous
- No seriously, you were really helpful
- I know, I'm amazing
- I can agree with that, anyway do you want to come over
- Wow, you trust me enough to come to your apartment
- It will not be the first time
- Okay then, be there in 15m

Aurora

"If this goes downhill I'm blaming you" I said to Amelia and put my earing on
"Everything is go -" "OH this must be Gabriel" She said and picked up the phone
"No don't -" before I could finish my sentence the door closed behind me "go"

It has been 30m and Axel was still not here
I know that it was my idea to come from my house
Actually it wasn't my idea it was Amelia's but now that I'm thinking about it, it was a dumb idea

I was going up and down to my apartment and cleaning and fixing everything
After a while I heard the door bell
"Oh my god" "oh my god" I said and looked myself in the mirror one last time

"Hey, sorry for being late, I was with Chase" he said and entered the apartment
"Yeah...no problem" I replied and closed the door
"Wait my friend Chase?" I said surprised
"Yeah.....why?"
"OH MY GOD! That's why you look familiar" "Chase had told me about you" I said and went to the kitchen
"Really?"
"Yes" I said and paused when I realized he was looking at me
"Don't be so flattered" I said and smiled

"So what would you like to drink, wine, juice, water, Sprite, whiskey"
"Why do you have whiskey in your house?"
"My best friend's boyfriend drinks a lot" I said and closed the cabinet
"Now that I'm thinking about it I don't want to drink, I went to this new bar with Chase"
"Okay then, would you like to order pizza"
"Pizza it's always the option" he said and laughed

We ordered the pizza but while we were waiting there was the longest and most awkward silence of my life
I checked the clock every five minutes and praying that the Pizza will come early
"I know this awkward" he said and looked at me
"What..?" I said confused because I was lost in my thoughts for most of the time
"So how was the photo shoot" he asked and made himself comfortable on the corner of the couch

"It was great actually" I said and smiled
"The backstage photos were looking fire"
"You stocked my social media?" I said surprised
"Biggest fan" he said and laughed
"So you knew who is was in the club?"
"Kind of" he said and took off his sweatshirt

Underneath he was wearing a black t-shirt and on his left wrist was a silver watch and on his right hand was a black and silver ring
Every time I looked at his hands I remembered the way he hold me at the bar
I remember wanting his hands and mouth all over me and -
Oh my god Aurora focus I thought and got out of my thoughts

"What movie were you thinking of watching" he asked
"Mr & Mrs Smith" I said and got up to take some plates because while I was lost in my thoughts the pizza was here
"Are you serious" "I was thinking more about Star Wars" He said and looked at me from the couch
"As much as I love Star Wars I prefer not to watch it"
"What if we do a Star Wars movie marathon" he said excited
"But -"
"But first we are going to watch the movie you want" he said and got up

"Okay, fine" I said and laughed
"I told you, I know how to satisfy my clients"
"I'm sure about that" I replied and gave him the pizza

"We can all agree that after the 5th movie everything went downhill" she said and looked up at me

It was around 6am and the sun started rising
After the 3rd movie Aurora got tired but I didn't let her go to sleep so I just offered her to lay on my chest

"Yeah, I can agree with that but the 6th movie wasn't that bad" I said and moved a little bit
"Don't move, I got comfortable" she said and got up
"By the way what time is it" she said and checked her phone
She was standing still for more than 5m and then she started laughing
"What happened" I asked and got up
"Nothing I was laughing with the replies from the story I posted hours ago" she said and closed the phone

Last night Aurora convinced me to post a story together for her Instagram account
I wasn't convinced at first but then she told me that she will make me cake
Yeah...I was a little drunk last night because after the pizza we decided to make some margaritas
So now the kitchen was a mess and the living room table was full of tissues and empty glasses because Aurora started crying during the 3rd movie
At least the photos turned out good

"You should leave now" "I have to clean the mess and get ready because I have to go to the library" she said and sighed
"I can help" I said
"No it's fine, don't worry" "it was nice to have some company tonight"
"I was happy to see you too" I said and smiled "I will go then"
"Yeah...." she said and opened the door
"Goodbye Aurora" I said and picked up my sweatshirt
"Goodbye Axel" she said with a small laugh and closed the door
