Chapter 5

*** Few years later ***

-Who is that?

-I dont have a clue, but i mean, come on, he is so sexy!

-Wow! I think you are having a crush!

-Am i?

-Aha. You have a drool on your chin.

-My glass is empty, i need another one!

Lilian stepped closer to the bar.

-What can i get for you?- bartender asked.

-Martini, please.

-One Martini coming right up!

She turned around and the guy she was drooling over stood next to her.

-Jesus! You scared me!- she said.

-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

He was hiding one of his hands in his pocket. His metal arm. Yes. He survived the explosion, but all his bussines went down with it.

-What ever she is having, it's on me.

-Uhm, i do not think...

-I insist.

-Well thank you.

It striked him. The words she had just chosen. It wasn't enough that the was dead ringer of Lexy, she said the excact same thing in excact same voice tone.

"How can this be possible?", he asked himself.

Lilian took her glass and went to sit with her friend. The club was kind of empty this evening, and girls were there just a few hours.

-Music is shit!- her friend Agnes said it like a statement.

-Yup, it is. But...

-That guy is still there, ya know!

-Oh, c'mon! Just because i called him sexy does not mean i am thinking about him.

-Are you not?

-Ok, fine! Stop it!

-I told ya! This is bad for you!

-No. Don't do that!

Lilian emptied her glass and stood up, walking to the center of dance floor. She danced to the rythm, trying not to fall in those heels she was wearing.

-You here alone?

He had scared her again.

-Do you have to do this every time?

-Sorry! I just...

-Couldn't help yourself?

-You could say so...

-As answer to your question, nope, i am not here alone, my friend is with me.

-Aha. What is your name?

She turned around to face him.

-Uhm, sorry, i don't usually say my name to strangers.

-Well, i was just thinking, how can a beautiful girl like you be here alone... So...

-Well, i am dancing...

-Can i dance with you?

-I don't think that's a good idea, i mean, i am a bit drunk so, i would not want to get you all dirty.

-Why would i be dirty?

-After a few minutes you would just be on the floor, cleaning it!- she laughed, her laugh was just like hers.

And she spinned around enjoying the music.

He had to calm himself, not to take her here and now, it was too much.

Lilian turned around and he was gone. She came back to sit down.

-Did you see him?

-Who? I just came back from bathroom, sorry.

-Nah, it's ok, let's go home?

-Yeah, and i think it's early enough.

-Hah! My sister will call me a douche, just because i will be home a few mins after midnight!

-Tell her you are a cinderella!

Both girls laughed, even on the way.

-I will get the keys,- Agnes said.

-Thank you.

-You are very welcome,- she laughed again.

-Shh, people ar sleeping!

They entered their apartment, suprised that all lights were on.

-Amy? Are you here?

-Yeah, in the kitchen, are you guys back? So early?

-Yeah, the music was shit...

They both entered the kitchen finding Lilian's sister chilling with cuppa tea.

-Any cute guys?

-Nah, but... There was one.

-Nice! How did he look? Did he have the sexy demon look?

-What is that?- Lilian didn't understand.

-I was joking!- Amy laughed.- how much?

-Just a few glasses.

-Martini?

-Hell yeah!

-I am off to bed, you guys, see ya tomorrow!

-Sleep tight Agnes!

-Oh, believe me, i will!

Their friend left the room amd Amy talked.

-Tell me more about this guy!

-Uhm, i didn't even talk to him, so...

-Ah, that's a pitty.

-What? Why?

-You should finally find a boyfriend!

-I am better on my own, but, yeah, thank you for your advice.

Lilian took a sip from her sisters cup and went to her bedroom, shouting the same, goodnight for a few times.

-Yeah, you too!- Amy said back.
