~ You should love me ~

SIX ~ Will we meet again?

"Lando and Jen were at the same high school. They were couple, but then they broke up. I don't know why. And now they suddenly met again."
I am staring at him, processing what I just hear. The wind is blowing and messing our hair. I start trembling.
"Ava, say something."
I shook my head: "She was weird, but I didn't imagine something like that."
"She should tell you."
"Yeah, she should."
"Now I'm a bad guy here," he stood up.
"Wait," I grab his hand. Oh, he is so warm.
"You're freezing," he said, sitting back.
"Hug me," I whisper. We were sitting there in a hug for few minutes.
"Don't look up, your boss is by the door," he says, hugging me tighter.
"Gosh, she never sleeps or what?!"
We laugh. He waves at her way.
"She is waving to me."
"Sure, you're a hot athlete."
"You think so?"
"Has she left?"
"Mhmm."
I look around and there is no one. I look in his eyes. His dark brown eyes.
"I like your eyes," I say.
He caress my cheek: "I like your eyes too."
"I like your messy hair."
"Well, they are not always that messy. But... I like your hair too, they smell so nice."
"I wash them before we met in the hall."
He smiles.
"I like your smile," I continue. Well, I actually like a lot of things on him. And if we're talking about the smile... His lips are perfect. And he kisses perfectly.
"Continue, my lady, just continue."
"I like your pullover," I say and he laughs.
"Okay, maybe you should stop now."
"Why? I just start."
"You're freezing, I wont forgive myself if you get ill."
"Of course this would be your fault, Mr. Sainz," I laugh.
"Come on, lets go inside."
We walk inside and he walks me to my room. When we walk pass reception, the young receptionist is watching a movie and she was so much into it so she even didn't see us.
"So, we're here," I say as we get to the door.
"Thanks for a great bedtime story."
"You're welcome. Hope you'll sleep well."
Now I step on the toes and kiss him.

I walk in the room and sit on my bed.
"Are you sleeping?" I ask Jen.
"No," she answers shortly.
"Can we talk?"
She sits up and looks at me.
"Carlos told me."
She nods.
"When you wanted to tell me? You were probably laughing at me behind my back."
"No, we're not. I-I didn't know you like him that much."
"Why were you making a fool of me? You were Googled Lando for me."
"I am sorry, Ava. I should told you."
"Yeah, you should. You probably knew that Carlos likes me, right?"
She nods: "Lando told me. Carlos is a good guy."
"I know he is, but... I don't know... I need to sleep over everything."
"Please, don't be mad at me, Ava."
"I... I need some time. I don't want to talk to you right now."
I stand up and walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
When I lay to the bed, I check the phone again. Another DM on Instagram.

Agh, you were tricky!
Aaaaaapciiiihhhhh 🤧

Then I put the phone on the nightstand and fall asleep.

Early in the next morning we wook up and go to work. It is my time today to work in kitchen.
"Carlos wants to see you," Jen whispers when she walks in the kitchen.
"Ah, I can't go outside. Tell him I'll find him later."
"They are leaving today. After breakfast."
"What? Why?"
"They have to continue with race season."
I need to find a way to talk to him before he leaves.
"Tell him we met after breakfast by the pool like last night."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
When they finished their breakfast Jen walks to the kitchen and winks at me when she puts down a tray.
"Franco, I need some fresh air, I'm getting a headache. I'll be back in few minutes," I say to the main chef.
He only nods in answer.
I rush across the lobby outside the pool. I found him leaning to the wall next to the pool.
"Hey," I say smiling.
"Hey, you came," he smiles widely and wants to hug me.
"I think I got smell of the kitchen."
"I don't care. I like smell of the kitchen, because I love food."
He pulls me into the hug.
"So, you're leaving," I say to his chest.
"Mhm. We had a weekend off, but now we're continue with races."
"Okay. I wish you a good luck then."
"I want to see you again," he caress my cheek.
"I...I don't know if this is wise."
"Why? You can come with Jen on one race. I'll organise everything."
"I cannot promise anything. We'll see."
He kisses me on the cheek.
"I need to return back to the kitchen. It was pleasure to meet you."
"Promise me, you'll think about seeing us again," he gives me a deep look with those gorgeous brown eyes.
"Okay."
"Ava..."
"Hm?"
"Before you leave... Can I kiss you?"
I smile, wrap my hands around his neck and step on the toes. We kiss.

It was really hard to say goodbye. I don't know what do I feel. I surely feel a butterflies when I see him. Well...when I saw him. Maybe we'll never see again.
I am washing dishes and thinking about him. Actually, about us. I thought on a moment when I first saw him, to the plane, when I fall into his arms on turbulence. And when we met again at the hotel. Oh, and surely when he saved me from the balcony. Our first kiss. It was only a game and I didn't have a clue that I'll thinking about him in next few days. This was the best weekend in my whole life.

"Ava..." Jen says, as she wakes me from thinking. I look at her.
"He really likes you," she says.
"Maybe I like him too."
"Are you two going to see each other again?"
I shrug: "He invites me on a race. He said you'll go on one and that I can join you."
"Yeah, that would be great. What did you say to him?"
"I need to think about it."
"There is nothing to think about, Ava."
"I am still a bit angry on you, you know, Jen."
"I am really sorry I didn't told you. I totally froze when you said you like Lando."
"I have to finish with dishes. We'll talk about that some other time."
She nods and leaves the kitchen.
