"Nice hanging out with you again, Yasmin." he says, he sounds like he really means it. "We should do this again." The smile on his face lights up the whole room. At least he wants to hang out me.

"Sure thing." I give him a hug. And because he doesn't let me go, the hug lasted for 2 minutes. His soft hair touches me cheek. I notice that his hair smells amazing as always.

Before he leaves the pub, he turns around, walks up to me and wispers in my ear: "I'll find out why you're so sad. Even if it's the last thing I do." Then he walks away. He'll find out I think by myself before I hear my phone buzzing. My mom. Shit, I almost forgot

At home

"I'm sorry I'm late, mom." I say closing the door. I can barely drag all the stuff she wants around with me. "Here is everything you wanted from the supermarket." I put all the stuff on the kitchen table, take a breath and sit down.

"It's okay, honey." I'm really lucky my mom is really patient, the opposite of me. "Where have you been?"

I swallow the piece of the cookie I've taken. I haven't changed: I'm still that "cookie monster" my family used to call me all the time. "I was with Louis."

Curious as she is she asks: "How are you two doing? Are you finally dating? You'd be so cute together." She has told me this a thousand times since I met him.

"Mom.." I'm not wanting to repeat this but my mother clearly doesn't get it. "There's nothing between him and me. I like him and he likes me. But not like that and that'll never happen."

"That kid has been in love with you since you guys met when you were 6. Believe me, I can see that kind of things."

I truly hope she's right about that but I have my doubts. "Can I do something else for you, mom?" It's tuesday: the day I have to do a lot of thing for her, she can't do herself because she's been in a wheelchair for the past 2 years.

"There's one more thing you can do for me."

I nod my head. "What is it?" What's it gonna be this time..

"Pleas tell him how you really feel about him. He might not feel the same but he's your best friend. You can't keep lying, he deserves the truth, Yasmin."
