The three of us are sitting in Florence's hotel room. Christian and I sit in front of the TV and cuddle while Florence gets changed. I lie on top of him while he draws various shapes on my back. I feel somehow more relaxed when we told someone about our relationship. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm really glad that person is my best friend.

"Hey lovers, what are we going to eat now?"Flo shouted from the bathroom.

We looked at each other thinking really what they could do.

"I thought maybe some chicken, we haven't had it in a while." He suggested.

"I thought maybe a burger, we haven't eaten that in a long time." I reminded him, and I really like eating some.

"Let's do both. Would you like some chicken burgers?"He said looking at me to see if I wanted it. To which I just nodded.

"Have you made up your mind yet?"Flo asked as she entered the living room.

"We were thinking about chicken burgers, are you up for it?" He asked his sister.

"Hell yessss. Do we order or make here?"

We looked at each other again.Now we are too tired to get up to make, so we decided on the easiest option.

"Let's order." I said now looking towards Flo.

"I have a better idea, that you, dear brother, are going to get us food. While we talk without you during that time. I think it's perfect. Come on Chop Chop."She spoke and dragged him by the hand to the door.

"You don't have to hurry, we're not going anywhere." When she kicked him out, not giving him time to refuse, she took a beer for us and sat down next to me.

"Now...spill the tea girl. You have to tell me everything before he comes because he will say you don't have to know everything. And you are my best friend and he is my brother, who will know everything if not me."

"First of all, why didn't you tell me that he was a hopeless romantic. Secondly, I don't know where to start."

~~~~~~~~~

"How sweet this is, oh my god. I didn't know he was this romantic either. I never talked about him with his past girlfriends."

We heard the door open and Christian entered with bags.

"You didn't answer the phone, so I didn't know what else you wanted, so I took a little bit of everything."He looked at us confused. "Why are you looking at me like that? You haven't been gossiping about me all the time, have you? Do you have other topics to talk about? Just stop looking at me like I'm some puppy on the street. Let's just eat for once." He went to the kitchen with the bags. Florence and I started laughing. How cute he was when he was confused.

We sat down to eat and a strange conversation began.

"Chris, how's Diesel doing." Flo asked him and Christian stopped eating and didn't look up.

"Fuck, Christian, did you at least call her to talk to her?" He still didn't move or say anything.

"How long has it been since you came back and you still can't face her."

I don't understand anything about what is happening.

"I'm not, Florence, how can you not understand that I can't do that! She still lives with them, they control her. She will get into bigger shit because of me again. I can't do that to her, she's just a child!"

Who are they talking about? Why don't they say? It's silly of me to ask them now. I will ask Christian later when he calms down a bit.

"But she loves you, how can you not understand that! She would do it all over again. Just accept the fact that you don't hurt her, she is the best with you. She is there alone, there is no one. He can't be with me because I'm constantly traveling and working. But she is also attached to you and would rather be with you!"

"I'm afraid you don't understand! I left you there alone because I was selfish, I just wanted to get away from them." Tears began to fall from his eyes.

"You won't be able to run away forever, you'll have to face her someday. When that happens, you'll be sorry you didn't reach out earlier. The more you procrastinate, the bigger the problem you create, the terrace is in greater sorrow and pain. Which part is not clear to you? You don't even know how she looks at us. We technically raised her, especially you!" She got up and started yelling at him all furious. "She looks at you as if you were her father! It hurts more that you are gone. Aaaaahhh how can you be so stubborn!"

He got up and went to our room in this hotel. I didn't know what to do, whether to go after him or to give him space.

"Hailee, I think you should cut it short and go to him. Now he's probably going to get things for the gym. It's his way of calming down." She told me as she sat back down across from me.

"What just happened? I don't know if this is too sensitive a topic for him to ask. I don't want it to look like I'm messing around where I don't belong, but I don't know how to help him like this."

I'm starting to get annoyed now too, God, why does there always have to be a problem in a relationship.

"Let's just eat, by then he will finish his training and you will talk to him. Just don't press him, he will tell you. Arguments often happen to us, you don't have to worry about it. We usually make up in a couple of hours or days, it depends on how serious the topic is."

I sent her to work so that we ate and chatted as usual, and then I went to look for him.
