III.

The first thing i thought in the morning when i woke up was the thing Georgina told me last night. She met a guy from LA. I sighed and went to the balcony to smoke. My view was the Eiffel Tower. That made me happy and blessed in some weird way. I haven't told anyone about you... While my thoughts swirl again and again, I heard my phone ringing inside and I pressed the cigarette into the ashtray.
-"miss Johnson?" I smiled.
-"Bonjour Felix, I didn't wake you up right?"
-"Oh, no absolutely not, I kinda fixed my sleeping schedule, I need to gain more energy from now on."
-"I love your attention. I see the progress in your actions, that's how it's done. Well done Felix."
-"Thank you so much miss Johnson." I smiled.
-"I don't have any assignments for you today. You should rest more for the runway show. Tomorrow I want you here by the morning this time, to discuss the details."
-"Absolutely got that miss. Thank you."
-"See you tomorrow."

Today I don't have anything to do. I got back to my bed and lay down. I decided to call my mom and check on my parents. So I took my phone again.
-"Hello mom"
-"Oh Felix... how are you doing honey?" My mom asked me with her warm tone.
-"I am doing great, how are you?"
-"Good baby, how's life been going."
-"Kinda stressful mom, I have a runway again, In less than a week and I'm so nervous about it, it's like my first time being this nervous about my job."
-"Oh, sweetheart I believe in you. You definitely got this okay? Don't worry, because I will as well."
-"I'm gonna try my best,mom.."
-"I know baby. Do you wanna hear your dad?"
-"Of course."
***
-"How are you my child?"
-"Hi dad, I'm good, how are you?" I smiled.
-"We're doing well. We miss you."
-"I miss you guys too. I promise after all my assignments I will come home and stay for a while."
-"You should do that for sure." My mom said. I shook my head.

I finally got off the bed and went to take a shower, I put on a white robe and got out the bathroom. I picked up my clothes from the wardrobe and got dressed. While plugging in the hairdryer to dry my hair I heard a long ring at my door. At first I thought who could it be right now, barely people even visit me. I put the hairdryer down and went to open it.
-"Hi, ugh- sorry for bothering you I wanted to ask if you have water in your apartment, because mine stopped." I got so impressed when he spoke in English. He had blue eyes and light brown hair.
-"It's okay, I do have water, maybe it's just only your apartment."
-"You can speak English?"
-"Yeah, I got surprised when you did too."
He smiled.
-"That's amazing. I live upstairs by the way."
-"Cool" I smiled
-"Okay thank you, uh.. see you. Sorry again"
-"It's okay. Bye" I smiled and closed the door behind me. When I look at other men I see just walls after him. Emptiness.

I went out for lunch with Georgina in a cafe right in front of the Eiffel Tower. We ate croissants and drank coffee.
-"Soo... today you are free..." Geo started
-"Yeah, Georgina today I am free and that doesn't mean we can get drunk"
-"Oh,come on, please Felix."
-"No."
-"Please, when are you gonna be free next time so that we can do that? " She begged
-"No Georgina, I can't get drunk, because..."
She looked at me in confusion just like yesterday.
-"Because you?"
-"Because..." I stuttered. "I just can't, I have plans."
-"Felix. You are hiding something from me and I do not like that. You know you can trust me in whatever you say, isn't three years enough for you to trust me?"
-"No, don't say that Geo, of course I trust you, it's just"
-"Just what?"
-"I.. I just can't get drunk, because I don't like.. what I say and do after I get drunk. Okay?"
Georgina laughed.
-"Are you serious? And what do you do, what do you say that we can't just spend a good night together like besties?"
I looked at her and I wanted to hesitate to tell her again but she would be really mad at me.
-"What do I do? I... speak about, my past"
-"Your past??"
-"Mhm"
-"And what's wrong about speaking about you past?"
I sighed -"Georgina... let's just talk about something else, please."
She looked at me and didn't say anything.

We went on the Louvre to take pictures and visit places I did not have time to visit, because of my job.
I included him on my day again...
