I watched as Mei walked up the stairs following my sister. This girl intrigues me. She intrigues me more than I would like. So I finished eating and told my mother that I was going to go up to my room. As soon as I finished going up the stairs, someone bumped into my chest. I look down and see Mei rubbing her nose. Sensing that I was looking at her, she raised her head and looked into mine with her hazel eyes. I stare at his face looking at every detail. Start with her bright eyes, her doe eyelashes, her rosy cheeks, her little pointy noses and her luscious lips that are moistened. I look at his lips for a second wondering what it would be like to kiss them. At this thought I smiled stupidly. Mei brings me back to earth by moving her lips to say:

-I'm sorry Valentin, I didn't see you.

-I didn't... just as I was saying this sentence my sister came out of her room with a pillow in her hand and ran towards us. Mei hides behind me to protect herself and I catch the cousin in full phase. My sister notices his stupidity and removes the cousin from my face by putting her hand over his mouth. Mei, who is holding my arms while hiding behind me, shifts her head to look at my sister and then at me. She doesn't have long to burst into laughter while looking at my sister and me in turn. My sister was not eager to join her and they both laughed in front of me. After a few minutes my sister manages to articulate:

-The face...The face you made when I came running and the cousin landed on your face. When I realized who was making fun of me I lost my temper and said.

- Does it make you laugh that I took the cousin in the face??

The girls looked at each other and before starting to laugh again Mei responded.

-Sorry but yes it makes us laugh and thank you for being my shield.

-I will leave you and your childishness alone. Excuse me.

I pass between the girls and enter my room.

I slam my bedroom door, take off my shoe and place it next to my door and sit in front of my PC to play video games and put on my headphones. After an hour I take off my helmet and leave my room to take a shower. I'm in front of the bathroom door when the door suddenly opens. I see Mei who is in her thoughts and almost collides with my chest again.Seeing my torso a few centimeters from his nose, he stops abruptly and raises his head towards me. I look into his eyes smiling and tell him.

- it will become a habit for you to bump into me every time we cross paths. She smiles and answers.

-Sorry, it seems like it's a habit that I'm in the moon every time I meet you.

-I think I noticed it. After a few annoying minutes I resume.

-Have you finished in the bathroom? Can I take it?

Mei suddenly pulled herself together. It seems like I'm having an effect on him. No, Valentin remains serious...
