Sweet Nothing

Don't be dramatic

- Do you guys know each other? - Max asks.

- Yeah, we went to the same school as kids. - Charles says.

I still can't speak.

- Really? I didn't know you guys were friends. - Max says surprised.

- We weren't. - I say.

Max looks at me and frowns. 

- Amber! - Carlos says.

 I turn to look at him and he walks towards us.

- ¿Ya conociste a Charles? - He asks me smiling. (You already met Charles?)

- Por favor, ya hay que sentarnos. - I say looking directly at his eyes. (Let's have a seat, please.)

He frowns and nods.

We walked to our places leaving Max and Charles talking. 

- ¿Qué pasó? - He asks me. (What happened?)

- Nada, ahora vuelvo. - I say. (Nothing, I'll be right back.)

I look around for the bathroom and go directly to it. I could feel someone was watching me as I walked but I didn't turned to look. As soon as I walked into the women's bathroom I started to hyperventilate. Believe it or not but him making fun of my freckles as a kid really had a huge impact on my life, now because of that I can't go out without putting concealer on them. A girl comes out of one of the bathrooms and looks at me.

- Are you okay? - She asks.

She really seems concerned about me or whatever its happening to me.

- Yeah. - I say stuttering.

She gives me a hug which I really needed.

- What's your name? - She asks me.

- Amber, and yours? - I say still stuttering, less that before but still.

- I'm Heidi. - She says smiling softly.

We kept talking for a few minutes until I told her about what happened, about Charles making fun of me as a kid and then she told me that we were on the same table. I felt some kind of relief because now I had someone else that wasn't a guy to talk to. 

- Are you ready to go out? - She asks me.

- I think I need a few more minutes. - I says.

- Alright, see you there. - She says and walks out.

I looked in the mirror, great now the foundation I put on is ruined and I don't have any on me to re-aply. I take a piece of paper and put a little of water to take of the rest of the foundation off.  I take a deep breath and open the bathrooms' door. I see Charles right in front of me. He smiles.

- Pensavo che non avrei mai più rivisto delle lentiggini. - He says and puts his hand on my cheek. (I thought I would never see those freckles ever again.).

And once again I stay speechless just looking at him. 

- What, you're not gonna say anything? - He says.

-Amber, what's going on? - Max asks approaching to us.

Charles moves his hand, and clears his throat.

- I'm just going to the bathroom.

Seems like Max doesn't believe what Charles said, he looks at me and then after Charles walked into the men's bathroom he asks.

- What happened? 

- Nothing. - I say.

I walked towards the table, I sit next to Heidi.
