Catch me if you can

chapter 38

Jorge

*I was sitting in my car in front of the café, waiting for Tini to show up when someone knocked on the window. I stepped out of the car and returned her a smile*

J: Hi Stephie

S: Good evening, what are you doing here?

J: Not much, I was about to meet a friend here

S: Aha...

J: You're going home?

S: Yes

J: Alone?

S:  Uhm, not everyone is lucky to have a friend like you

J: Well-

*I started the sentence while looking around. Tini was coming from the other side with a smile. I returned her the smile quickly but Stephie noticed.*

S: Oh, you are here for...

J: Thanks for the nice talk sweetie

*She giggled and left, waving at me. On the other hand, Tini looked mad*

M: Hi

J: Hey

*I said and leaned closer to kiss her cheek but she backed*

M: So, you two were talking about...?

*Oh. Not mad. Simply jealous*

J: Oh come on, get in the car, I got a surprise for you

*She tried to cover her red cheeks under the scarf but I knew she was happy*

...

M: Where exactly are we going?

*She asked when I parked the car*

J: We gotta go on our own from here

*We got out and headed to the distance holding hands.*

M: I can hear water. The... sea?

J: Trust me, I'm not gonna drown you.

*After a few more steps, we arrived at the beach.*

M: Wow. I love the shore

J: You think that I just took you to the shore? We're going quite farther

*I pointed at the row of scullers at the port and Tini's grip got tighter.*

M: No

J: Come on, I know how to use that thing. Let's go

*We ran to the sculler and I helped her get in. Then I rowed far from land*

M: Can you see anything? It's dark

J: Not really. The stars and the moon are shining

M: Look at that one, it's called the-

J:  Leo.

M: You know the constellations?

J: Yes. I was into astronomy when I was small.

M: Well, I watched the stars every night and learned a lot of information.

J: You just started a competition. The winner chooses the prize

M: Deal.

*After ten minutes of us trying to out-star each other, she had gone out of names and I won*

J: You know what that means? Never compete with me because I am born to be winner

M: Okay okay. What is the prize that you want?

*Letting out a laugh, I leaned closer and kissed her*
