A Dream

3.

In the afternoon on the next day I decided to test out my trampoline and draw in it. So I ran down the stairs , got to the front garden and climbed into the trampoline. After a few hours of drawing I noticed someone walking towards me. It was the neighbor I saw yesterday. I was a little scared because I didn't know if I spoke the language very well. "Hi" the neighbor said and "Hi" I answered. "You must be the daughter he talked about. I met your dad yesterday. " he tried to start a conversation. "Yes, guilty as charged. " i answered with a smile. "You don't talk very much,  do you? "He said while laughing a little. "Normally I do but normally I'm speaking German so I don't know if you understand me." I answerd a little scared. "Nooo,  your English is fine don't worry. So what's your name? " he asked friendly." "Anna... But you can call me An. What's yours? " I asked. There was a strange silence between us until the neighbor said something. "I really like your name and the shortening sounds like my mum's name. " he said with a nervous smile. "You didn't answer my question. " I said.  "Look , I know you're trying to tease me but you won't get me there. It would be refreshing to finally meet someone that doesn't know me for a change but that'll probably not be happening. " he answered finally. I got out of the trampoline and got a little closer to see where I know this guy from. "To be fully honest with you... I know you from somewhere but I don't remember quite where. " I said "Have we met before? " "Probably not" he answered the question. "I'm not really living here. I'm just visiting my mum a little. My sister will come,  too. I live in London. " he added. "We have baked some cake for you and your parents. Would you like to come over later? " he asked with a cheeky smile on his face showing his dimples. Suddenly it hit me like a car. "Wooooow.... Scary. " that was everything I was able to say at that moment. "Scary?! That's not what your supposed to say when you're close to my face. Still you haven't answered the question. " he laughed. "I don't know if my parents can come over. They're still very busy unpacking but I think I can come over,  Harry. " I smiled. And he smiled back and entered the house without a word.
