TRYING NOT TO LOVE YOU

~Tenth Part~

We had been in the shower for as long as we were not cold. "I'm hungry," Marc said when he gives me a towel. "Yeah, me too," I agreed, "I'm going to prepare breakfast."
"No, I'll do it," he said, dressed quickly and left the room. I got dressed in a comfortable shorts and T-shirt and went to the kitchen, where I smell the coffee. "The only thing I know to prepare are pancakes," he laughed. "We're both bad at cooking, Marc," I laughed too and sat at the table. The pancakes were delicious and we ate everything. "Did you call Dani and say that we'll go to the party tonight?" I asked. He shook with his head. "Why not?"
"I'll call him right now," he said and pulls his phone out of his pocket and calls him. The conversation with Dani was quick. "Deal. At seven at Dani's place," he said when he hang up the phone. "I can't wait to see Dani after a long time," I said when we sit on the terrace. "Really?" he asked. I nod: "Yeah, I miss him."
He was quiet for the next five minutes so I start laughing. "What's wrong, Marc??" I asked. "Nothing. You... miss him. I mean... what should I think about it?"
"Come on, Marc!! Don't be jealous! You know Dani is my friend. A good one."
"I'm not jealous," he quietly said. "Oh, no. You're not. Look at you. You're acting like a child."
I stand up from my chair and went to him and sat down in his arms. He was still cold. I watched him and laughed at him but he didn't even twitch. "Marc, honey," I said and kiss him on the cheek. Nothing. Then I kiss him on the forehead. Nothing. On the lips. Nothing. "You're a sulk," I said and stand up. "I'll be in the room if you're going to look for me," I said and left. When I got into the room I opened the closet and started looking for something I would wear to the party. I put some dresses on the bed, but I still didn't know which one I am going to wear. I went to the living room, where Marc was sitting and watching TV. I went past him, but he didn't even twitch again. I sighed and walked to the kitchen where I took some juice and went back to the room. Soon Marc came to me and threw himself on the bed. "Not on the dresses!!" I shout when I saw that he's going to crease them. "Sorry," he said and move them away. "It's nothing. Finally you're talking again. You know I'm in love with you and nobody else," I said when I close the closet. He nods: "I know. Come here." I walked up to him and sat down in his arms. He gently kisses me. "Sorry. Again," he said afterwards. "Hmm... I don't know if I'd forgive you," I said and pretend myself that I'm thinking. He kissed me again. "Forgive me now?" he asked again. I shook my head. "Now you should!" he shouts, gently pushing me to the bed, throwing himself on me and starts kissing and tickling me. "Okay, okay, okay! I forgive you!" I said and laughed. He kissed me once again then I pushed him away from me and I crawled to him. "What about now?" he asked. I took the pillow: "Pillow fight!" In the moment I got off of him because he took another pillow and we start "fighting". We didn't stopped until the whole room was in the feather. "Mum will go crazy when she sees it," I said and sat down in a pile of feathers. "You won't let it like this. We'll clean it," he said and he gives me a hand to help me stand up but I dragged him to the feathers with me. We've been rolling around for that long until we both start sneezing. "Okay, it's enough," I said and got up. Marc followed me and he has feathers everywhere so I started to clean him. I bring the vacuum cleaner and the room was clean in few minutes.

5:30 pm

Marc went at his home to get ready for the party, so I stayed alone in the house. I sat on the bed and thought about what dress I would wear. In the end I finally chose one so I get dressed up, do the hairstyle and make up, wear a high heels and went downstairs to wait for my boyfriend to pick me up. At the same moment, Gloria stepped through the door. "Hello," she greets and smiles, "you're so beautiful. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Dani's party with Marc," I said when we hugged. "Pedrosa?" She asked. I nodded. "Oh, I haven't seen him for so long," she said and sat on the couch in living room. "You liked him once, right?" I smiled and she nodded: "Yeah. We went to ice cream several times."
"Oooh, how romantic. Come with us," I said. "No, he didn't invite me. And I'm tired."
"Okay, as you wish. I have to go now. I'll tell Dani that you're greeting him." I kiss her on the cheek and left the house.
I walked to the Marc's house. "Marc?!" I shouted when I entered. "Upstairs!" he shouts back. "What are you doing? It's time to go," I said walking upstairs. "What shirt should I wear?" he asked and when he turned around he stayed speechless. "What is it?" I asked. "You look gorgeous," he said stepping closer to me and gives me the most beautiful kiss. "Thank you. Now it's time to dress you up," I thanked and walked to the closet where at least ten colored shirts were hung. "Let me see. I think this one would be perfect," I said and pick one of them. "You're the best," he said and quickly dressed up. When we were both ready, we sat in the car and drove to Dani's house.
"I didn't know there would be so many people," I said when we had nowhere to park. "Only the MotoGP people," Marc said calmly. "Yeah, you're used to them," I said back. He laughed. God, I love his laugh. It immediately calms me down. When we finally found the parking place, we parked and then slowly hand-in hand went to the house. Marc rang the bell and Dani opened us: "Welcome!" he said and shook hands with Marc, then he turned to me: "Sara? Is that you? Marc's cousin?"
I looked at Marc and he nods at me so I said: "Yeah, it's me. Talking about that... Well, this is a long story. We'll talk about that some other time. I'm glad to see you after a long time. My sister is greeting you." We hugged.
"Oh, greet her back. We haven't seen each other for a very long time. Please, come in," he said and closed the door. "How is she?" he asked then. "She's fine. And lonely," I answered. Marc laughed. "Really?" Dani asked shocked. I nodded: "Yeah. You should visit her." Dani nodded but then we couldn't talk anymore because the music was too loud. Dani gives us a drink and I was looking around if I could see someone I know. "Marc!" someone shouted. I turned around and I saw a girl who was familiar to me. "Laia!" Marc laughed and gives her a strong hug. "We haven't seen for years. How are you?" she asked. "Perfect, and you?" he replied. "Same. We need to talk," she said and grabs his hand. Woah, slow down, girl! I'm not invisible. Marc laughed and grabbed me around my waist: "Laia, this is Sara. My... cousin," he said after a while. Cousin? Did he said cousin? Okay, let's play the game. I smiled briefly and we shook our hands. "Pleasure to meet you. You're probably glad that you have such a great cousin, right?" she asked me. "Yes, you can't imagine," I replied, "he's the best cousin in the whole world." Marc looked at me seriously.
"Marc, my friend," someone said. This time it was a male. I turned around and saw Pol Espargaro. I smiled because I immediately thought of my best friend – she is totally obsessed with him. "Pol!" Marc said and they hugged. "Let me introduce you to Sara," he said and when he wants to continue, I interrupted him: "I'm Marc's cousin. I'm happy to finally meet you," I said when we shook hands. We've been talking for a while, and Marc was very tense and serious. After a while a men stepped to Marc so I and Pol leave them to talk on private. We walk to the terrace and I told him that my best friend would like to meet him. He promised me that we'll see each other soon. Few minutes later he needs to answer the call so I leave him and I went to the kitchen to take another glass of wine. When I walked in I saw Jorge. Jorge Lorenzo. When I was thinking about to turning around to leave before he sees me, it was too late.
"Sara, is that you?"
I sighed and turned back to him: "Hi, Jorge."
"You became such a wonderful lady," he compliments me and steps closer to me. "Thanks," I said, "it was nice to see you after a long time, but I have to go now. Bye."
"Wait. I want to talk with you. You must be proud of your cousin. He's a world champion and well... I have to admit that he's way better than me."
"I am very proud. Prepare yourself for this year. He's unbeatable," I said and wanted to leave again but he grabs my hand and stopped me. "Do you still remember our  days when we were together? And nights?" He asked.
"How not to. You were one of the most stupid boyfriends I ever had," I hiss back.
"You know, I think I will fall in love with you once again, now that you're so wild and rebellious. I need that kind of girl."
"Go find her elsewhere."
"Why? You were crazy about me once. Don't you remember anymore?"
"No, I fell on my head and lost my memory."
He laughed, but I was dead cold. How not to remember that. I think he was the only one I was crazy about. Except of Marc.
The beginning of our two-month relationship was really nice, I admit, until he cheated on me with some Asian woman. It was the end of our love relationship and also the end of our friendship. Three years have passed since that, but it still hurt.
"Sara, come on," he said, caressing my hair, "be mine again."
"Jorge, please... leave me," I said and I barely escaped from him. I returned to the living room and there was a lot of people. I wanted to go home so I start looking for Marc. When I finally found him, he was dancing with Laia. They were hugging and when she saw me, she smiled hypocritically and kissed him. 

The world starts spinning.
