“Please Eric can´t you put anything better?” I asked as I was tired of the crazy rap songs we listening at the first half an hour of our way back from the party.
“Change the music and I leave you right here” he said playfully threatening.
“You wouldn´t do that, I´m too pretty” I said joking causing him to laugh.
“If that helps you to sleep at night, whatever you want darling” he chuckled.
“Oh don´t be jealous kid” I retorted.
Practically all the trip was like that, I really missed joking with Eric he was the most carefree person I knew but since school started we hanged up very little.
“Umm… Cece I have a problem… We are low in gasoline” he said suddenly worried.
“What? But we have pass all stations that were in the way back!” I said freaking out.
“Well… Yeah about that… I kind of didn´t check it when we left the party and I just realize” he said with a dumbass guilty voice.
“So you think we won´t get to your house before we ran out of it!?” I yelled. There was no way I wanted to be stuck in the middle of the roadway at 3 am in the morning with no more than a Eric.
“Good you are starting to understand what is the problem!” he said jokefully treating me like a 4 year old.
“Eric we better not run out of it because I´ll murder you. And if we do you are going to buy me an ice-cream!” I said bitterly.
Since he told me that my eyes were fixed in the gasoline indicator… till I fall asleep.
“Cece?” I heard Eric´s voice waking me up yet I didn´t want to open my eyes just yet. I was begging that he was waking me up because we had arrived at his and not because… “We ran out of gasoline” I heard him said and my eyes open wide quickly.
“Great Eric just great! You are so going to buy me an ice-cream…You know we passed like 4 gas stations an you couldn’t even be responsible enough to check the fuel, so now we are stuck in the middle of the roadway very far from home at dawn…” I was saying when he started laughing.
“What´s so funny?” I asked confused and irritated
“Kid, we are a block away from mi house” he said still laughing.
“Oh. That changes things… So what do we do now?” I asked a little ashamed of my nonsenses speech.
“We got to carry it” he said getting out the car.
“You are kidding me aren´t you” I said astonished as I got off it too.

“Remember me to never be my drive back come again” I said breathless as we finally pulled the car all the way up the street to his house.
“I think Cece wants to sleep outside tonight…” he said playfully mocked.
“Tonight? It almost dawn because some genius didn´t check the gas so… He is going to get me an ice-cream” I answered.
“Oh come on I know you have fun too” he winked and headed towards the door of his house almost as exhausted as I was.
I remember my mum fetching Nate from his house while I stayed in the car when we were young though I never entered. Eric had one brother of I think 11 years old and his father had left them with his mum when he was 8. It was sad, I must admit, Mrs. Coloppa worked a lot to keep their humble house of one floor with three bed rooms. The lights were off and everyone was sleeping, luckily for us because I asked Eric to hide I was sleeping at his in fear that his mother tells mine.
“Psss Eric can we drink some water?” I whispered as we walked through the corridor.
“Of course” he said leading me into the kitchen. He took to glasses and I garb the water bottle but when I was about to pour them in the glasses Eric was putting alcohol in his.
“Do you really need to drink that?” I asked disgusted.
“Yeah, I didn´t get drunk tonight because I was driving you so you aren´t going to stop me now” he said as he shot the glass with vodka.
“What some?” he offered.
“I find no need of ruing my brain with that, and you shouldn´t as well!” I said angry.
“Honey are you home?” I heard his mum´s voice coming from one of the bedrooms.
“Yes mum I´m with Harper we are going to sleep right away so goodnight” he shouted back.
“That was close” I whispered thanking god his mum hadn´t come to greet us.

“Come on Eric this isn´t a freaking movie lend me some pants” I said standing in his freezing bedroom.
Eric laid in bed, and I already had change myself into one of his shirts but though it was big, it was still short and my bare legs were all at sight.
“What is the problem with movies?” he answered kind of checking me out. Ugh I hated him!
“Asshole” I said and hit him with a pillow “I´m freezing”.
“Well if you accept coming and sleeping with me that wouldn´t happen” he said but I simply hit him again.
“Look in the third drawer” he finally said and I put on some pants and laid in the mattress we put next to his bed.
“Goodnight Eric” I said as I put myself comfortable.
“Goodnight Cece”.

I am tired. I don´t want to open my eyes. I know the midday’s sunlight is entering through the window and I have to get up from bed. Eric is gone, as I look next to my "bed" his is empty but turning my head round I can´t believe what I see. On top of his table there is a note written with thick black marker: “I WENT TO WORK, ENJOY YOUR ICE-CREAM :D”.
I had no idea Eric worked... Oh but that was not the worst part, next to it there was a glass filled with ice and next to it a pot o cream (the cooking type). Hahaha very funny Eric.
