Explain Love to me

It's crazy what a dream can do to your head, I knew it wasn't my dream but I needed it to happen, and I knew it would, sooner or later, exactly as Zayn's mind could say.
- do you have any plans for today, sweetie ? - Trisha asked me, being such a nice woman.
- No..not yet. I mean, nothing serious and you ?
- I will do some shopping today. I need to change this house.
- Do you need any help, mom ?
- No..stay here with your brother and Christine.
- By the way, where's Zi and Yaser ? - I asked hoping I'd know.
But Trisha ignored my question, she looked at me smiling like it was a secret and I couldn't know..what made me even more curious and wanting even more to know what she was hiding.
- I know! I know! - Cameran grabbed my hand with his strength, catching my attention.
- Don't even say a word.. - Zayn told him, looking at me.
- Wait..do you know it ?
- I didn't say that!
- But you know ? - I kept asking Zayn.
- No..I don't know nothing.
- Do you promise ?
- I can't..I can't promise something I don't know.
- You're lying to your girlfriend, Zayn..
- Christine.. - he looked at me with his beautiful shinning eyes - I can't.
- I am going to find out anyway.
- You will! - Trisha got up from the table - my lovely ones, I have to go now, stay safe and don't catch cold outside.. I'll arrive before lunch.
- See you later, mom!
- Have a good time, Trisha and thank you.
- For what, darling ?
- Just for everything.
     We smiled at each other, knowing how thankful I was for the little things her family kept doing to me and for Zayn; after she left, we kept eating and talking about more dreams, more facts about the dreams and I explained what I learned in university about our brain and how it works when we sleep.
 
  While I was explaining, Zayn was cleaning the dishes, I was putting them in the right place and Cameran was just in his chair, listening me talking and hearing my medicine thoughts. It was adorable to see him admiring me like I was a hero to him.

- this is so cute.. - I stopped, in front of the fridge after putting back the milk and some tea.
- What babe ?
- Your brother..he was listening me so focused..much more than I was..in the classes. - I said, looking at him who was in the living room, in his pajama making some drawings in a little notebook.
- Well babe, you were focused, too focused that you explained us well..
- I actually think I'm not good at explain.
- Now, you're lying. - he stopped cleaning, facing me with his eyes. He did a little run until he reached me. - you explain better than you think.
- Why you say that in such a determined way?
- Because I know! You explain yourself so well, I wish I could be like you.
- It's not easy, sometimes I can't find the right words to say..medicine it's hard, there's some difficult words to learn.
- Babe.. - he giggled a little, making the most beautiful pause - I'm not talking about medicine.
- What do you mean, Zayn ?
- I'm talking about love. You explain that very well, you sound like a poet sometimes..
- Books help, babe, help a lot.
- Nah, it's not the books, it's your mind. I will never forget one class that we had..
- Do you still remember when we were class mates ?
- I never forget something that you were there, with me.
- Baby, see..you were a poet now.
- You taught me that. - he caressed my face - But yes, I still remember.. a class, a English class that we were preparing the Valentine's Day and everybody was doing a poems explaining love and you just looked at me..you laughed and everybody was in silence. I remember teacher asked you why you were laughing at me, and you said "that's what love does, teacher." Since that, teacher made the class stop and asked what love was to you..
- I replied. - I smiled remembering what I exactly said.
- You did and I still have every word on my mind..I think on them a lot.
- Zayn..do you ?
- Of course. You kept looking, straight in my eyes like it was everything for me.
- And it was, Zayn, love it's always about you.

   I rest my head on his shoulder and in that moment, I could see Cameran smiling at us, completing melting.
- Zayn..your brother.. - we looked at the same direction, giggling together - I think he saw us.
- Then, we explained love really well.
