Dreaming boy - Translation

Chapter 3

- I can make an effort. I answer with a total lie. I can't wait to leave now.

-It'll do you good. She answers as she leaves my room.

Without a second to lose I get out of bed, find some clothes and put on a touch of mascara and blush.

After a few good minutes, I went downstairs and found my mother having breakfast, I'm taking the time this time to have a real breakfast.

[...]

 In the car near the car park, I think about his many dreams and I realise how small the world is. All this time he's been living in the same city as me...Atlanta is big enough, but the world is even bigger. He could have lived on the other side of the world! Or simply not exist.

The car stopping woke me up out of a deep sleep and I got out of the car immediately.

- What do we start with? She asks, almost happier than me..

- I'll let you do it ! After all, it's you who seems more excited..

Whithout a second to waste, the first thing she does is of course go to clothing stores, it was really fun or nice, I needed new clothes anyway!

We visited at least more than ten different stores, passing  this Starbucks whithout exception, and took a look each time.

But no baseball player in the one I want.

But after shopping we just had to walk around, and admire the decorations...that's I think my favorite part.

Or just walk past the food stalls that make you want to buy everything! We can't deny that it's magical.

- Don't you want to go drink something? She asks me.

- Of course! It's super cold, preferably something warm..

I thought we were heading towards a stand like we do every years but being on my phone I can't really see where we're going and telling me to follow her, it's only when I feel like we're in a room that I notice something different, when I look up I see that we are in this cafe.

  - Take me a hot chocolate, like you. She replies as she goes to take seats.

Whithout saying a word I enter the queue, I take a look, not finding the brown guy but nothing, I then continue to have my head in my phone.

The queue shortens very quickly, so quickly that in less than 5 minutes it's my turn, I quickly put my phone away and look up.

But I expected everything except this when I lifted her.

- Hot chocolate? Asks the brunette, ready to take my order into account.

I'm quite happy to see him here, I chuckly slightly.

- 2 this time. I'm kidding.

Without wasting a second he gets started.

- But I haven't seen you for 10 minutes or more?

- I have just been put in the cash register, but what a coincidence!

I watch as he moves on to writing the cups, while he wrote my name always accompanied by a smiley I remembered the most important thing but wich I am missing.

- By the way, what's your name,Mr. Baseball Player?

- I'm supposed to work not talk about my private life Faye. He answers.

Unfortunately for him, a person approaches him quickly..

- You're not supposed to be at the checkout Jaden go back! His superior shouts throughout the store.

Jaden..why in my head does it sound so damn good?

A gap forms between us but the way he did it makes me let out a slight laugh.

- It's really a shame Jaden..

Without saying a word he continues his order in silence when after finishing he hands the two drinks in my direction.

- Thanks Jaden. I replied, taking them.

Our pupils look at each other, but always a silence. I take it that our short conversation is over? 

I turn around, moving slightly towards the table that my mother has reserved, but her voice calls me one last time.

- Faye.

Turning around again our eyes meet again, my look makes him understand that I am listening to him now.

- Afterwards, he'll tell you to go for a walk, just the two of us? He asks in as fragile a voice as I've ever heard.

- Oh I'm sorry but I'm with my mother for the whole day! But we can do it tomorrow or another day, I would love it!

- Of course! Anyway I had training afterwards. He replies lying.

- Tomorrow? I said, trying to catch up, and if tomorrow I can miss classes that would be a lot better for me..

- I still have training...but you can come! It would even be great if you come!

- Great, see you tomorrow Jaden!

This time I turn around for real but with a big smile on my lips...I don't know how to explain but this boy makes me smile more than others can.
