When i open the door both girls are waiting for me on the couch .
Gi shots a small smile , the same smile she gives me every night when she sees the t-shirt i wear to bed .
And Cara's eyes flash with hurt and sadness at the sight of my shirt .
i flash her a smile , letting her know that we're in this together .
She smiles back and tap the empty space on the couch between her and Gi .
i walk towards them , and i can't help but smile when the memories go alive again .
" Judging by that smile , i can say that it was better than you thought it will be " Cara's thick British accent invade the small spave of the living room .
I look at her and nod my head yes .
" you would never imagine what happened "
i look over a Gi and she is starring at me with her mouth slightly open. i want to ask her why is she looking at me like that , but the excitement building inside of me to tell them the events of tonight wins over my curiosity .
" I got lost at first , but i kept on following ... " i started talling then the events of this eventful night .
never in a million years would i have ever dreamed of what happened today .
it's ironic really . The way i used to tell everyone that i will meet cristiano ronaldo , no matter what it will take me to do so . Little did i know that would truly happen , but with the current circumstances . and yet i can't believe it happened .
Guess you never know what life holds for you .
"... and then i bumped into this humongous security man , he scared the daylight out of me , specially when he kept on repeating the same sentence over and over again , i almost curssed him out " i let a soft laugh , imagining myself curss outloud . I never curss nor do i accept people curssing .
When they heard my laugh , Gi had glossy eyes and cara mirrored my genuine smile .
i shook their reactions from my mind and continued "And here is the highlight of the night "
It never occurred to me that the highlight of my first game at the bernabeu wouldn't be the team's win but acctually me meeting the star of the team and the guy i fantasized about .
" The guy who let me out of my misery was actually Cristiano Ronaldo "
"You're lying "
"you're fucking with us right "
they both said at the same time
" Cara!" i scowled her
"Sorry , it slipped " she held her hand
"but seriously you're just shitt - lying to us " she corrects herself
" No , i'm not . just listen , and don't interrupt"
i went over all the details about the meeting with the cristiano , and i had to swear that he really hugged me and that i gave him my number .
i don't blame them since i myself can't believe it happened .
" And then he left ? " Gi asked me
"yeah "
" you are such a lucky bit-bimbo " cara says holding her hair up in a ponytail
" hey ! i'm not a bimbo ! and what's the curssing today , you seem .."
" She fought with the neighbour , the one with the noisy kids , and called her daughter a spoiled brat " Gi cuts me off
What ?!
" Cara ! you can't go cussing and fighting all neighbours , for real ! "
" Oh cmon Ken ! i know you hate that women and her noisy little spoiled kids . It's like living next to a zoo "
i couldn't help but laugh . i know that what she's saying is wrong but right at the same time . her kids are very impolite and keep jumping and running all around the halls .
" Now i get it " Gi whispers
"What do you get ? " i tell her smilling
" This . You . I haven't heard you laugh for so long , and don't tell me you always laugh , because you won't fool me with those fake laughs you keep throwing around . Something is different in you tonight . You look more ..."
"Alive" Cara cut her off
"you are smilling ken , you are laughing , the way you kept talking about cristiano , the way you kept on describing how he held you , his smile . The feelings you felt . It's you again "
i never thought i will hear these words coming from cara . She has been sulking more than me , she never shows her sadness . but she is my best friend i know her like the palm of my hand .
I know they're both right .
I feel alive again . I missed this feeling . i know it's only temporary until i will go back to my grieving state , but better this than nothing .
For the first time i feel like i can be happy , and not feel guilty like i always do .
i held cara's hand and gave her a comforting squeeze , to comfort us both i guess .
when i turned towards Gigi the tears she has been blinking away , are pooling inside her eyes and she os smiling at the both of us .
" Come here you two " i ask them
And i wrapped my arms around them . we get into a group hug .
" i'm proud of you two " she whispers
"Thank you for making me go out tonight " i thank them
" He would never forgave me if i didn't " Cara says
Cara has never let his name out her name since he left , nor did she even spoke of him , it's the first time , and then it took every bit of me to control the tears and not let them spill out of my eyes , because i know if i let them fall , they will never stop .
"he would be proud of you , proud of us " i say
"all" i look at Gigi and she knows exactly whom am i talking about .
" He is , i know he is " cara says with a smile
After chatting with the girls for an hour , i felt my eyelids getting heavy .
"Goodnight girls " i left them with a smile , i haven't smiled this much for the past 3 weeks . and it feels good to be able to do that again .
I entered my room , and went inside the duvet , within minutes i felt myself drifting to sleep dreaming about hazel eyes and a thick Portuguese accent
