Safe Place; Andrey Rublev

Chapter 6 THE GUEST

I couldn't stop smiling, I didn't even realize how much I was smiling to the screen during my conversation with Andrey until my face started to hurt. I took the phone away from my face, tucked myself to bed and contemplated the ceiling still with a smile on my face, something on him was different, intriguing but... calm, there was such a peace in the air every time I ever crossed word with him, even if he wasn't in the same room.

I didn't realize when I fell asleep as I was trying to figure Andrey out.

Next morning...

7am

Jules<3:

>Hey Al, you awake?

You:

>Yeah, I am now

>Everything ok?

Jules<3:

>Yes, just letting you know the schedule for today

>It's a day off but not really so, breakfast at 8

>I was thinking on going to the gym first, it's going to be hard to get a practice court before the first matches start, you know the seeds have preference so, we've got to wait

Before the first matches start, you know the seeds have preference so, we've got to wait

Jules<3:

>What have you done?

You:

>What? What do you mean?

>Nothing I just said what I think

Jules<3:
>Do you? So, you're not acting cool to try to change the routine?

You:

>No, of course not, I wouldn't change the routine, I trust you but... what about asking for a permission?

>Pleaseee, I got invited to watch a friend's match and it's at 12 am, I promise I'll be back as soon as the match ends to start the hitting session.

Jules<3:

>You have friends?

>Alex, not again please

You:

>Very funny ha-ha-ha. I do have Friends, more than you think.

>Please

Jules<3:

>As soon as that match ends, you're on the court, clear?

>I'll text you the details.

You:

>THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE YOU
