Like every Friday evening, she was in her favourite Rock Club to have a drink with her friends. She was sitting at the bar when she felt someone touching her shoulder. She rose her head and they looked each other in the eyes. She couldn't move when she saw him. He was still the same, he hadn't change at all.
- Daniel... what are you doing here?
- It's been some days that I'm back. I saw you here and wanted to say "hello". Still with the old one? – he started to look at the glass with Jager and smiling.
- Well, some old habits die hard. Sit and let's have a talk if you want.
There were some moments of silence. Her phone rang and she had to answer. He was staring at her. She was still that petite girl, with that sweet face, soft curly hair, which she had dyed black again, but with the rebel soul, and now even more rebel than times before. There was still that fire in her eyes, a fire that he knew very well. That evening she was wearing leather from head to toe. He understood that he had been missing his rocker Elena so much. He went closer to her, but she was still somehow cold. They started to talk. Many things had changed, but in each other's eyes, they were still those "crazy ones". He wanted to kiss her, but she didn't let him.
- I'm sorry Daniel, I can't. – had a sip from the glass and started to smoke a cigarette.
Even the cigarettes she smoke were the same. They started to play some of her most favourites songs and she started to dance. She seemed drunk, but she was drunk with music not with alcohol.
- Elena, what about going to eat something?
- I want to drink more, at least another one.
- Okay, as you wish. Today I will do everything you want me to!
After having that other drink, while dancing under the rhythm of the music that filled her soul, she says to him:
- I want you to cook for me tonight. What do you say if we go home?
- I told you that I'll do whatever you want.
All the way he tried to keep her close to him, but she continued with her coldness. They didn't say a word and it was a strange silence for both.
They got home and went in the kitchen. He started cooking, while Elena was preparing the table. The dinner passed with some short conversations. When they finished, she filled two glasses of Jager and they sat on the couch.
Since the moment that they had got home she had starded to feel nostalgic about old times, but she didn't give in. There were some silent moments and then Daniel started to talk.
- Elena, I know that I hurt you so much. All this time I had been thinking only about you. I was waiting for you all afternoon there in the club.
- I'm really confused right now. Drinks, the music I love, your presence here, I'm drunk from all of these together. I don't know what to say. I wasn't expecting to see you.
As she was talking, her voice was trembling and tears ran through her cheeks. He went near her, hugged her and now she couldn't move away from him. She hugged him back and was crying in his arms. Daniel lifted her head, dried her tears and kissed her lips. How could she refuse him now? She was hardly waiting for that moment, she had been waiting for a long time.
He hugged her tight, lifted her up and headed to the bedroom. They lied on the bed, he wrapped her tightly in his arms and whispered to her:
- I miss so much my Elena! I love you! I've always loved you!
- Daniel, I love you! I don't know how I've been putting up with everything without you all this time!
Their eyes were shining again with a light that had been turned off some time ago. The morning found them in each other's arms. They woke up in the same time and smiled. Elena got up to prepare breakfast. It seemed as if she had turned back in time.
- Elena, I have to go after breakfast. I have to meet some people. But get ready for the evening. I'll call you in the afternoon. I'll keep every promise I made you and I didn't have the possibility to keep before.
When Daniel was gone, Elena sat there lost in some memories, sweet and painful ones...
