A Dream

4.

Immediately I got back into our house and asked my parents. They said that I could go over after dinner but they couldn't come with me , like I had already assumed earlier. So after dinner I stood in front of my neighbors' door and rang the bell. A woman opened it, she was a little smaller then me. "Hello, I'm Anne. Of course you can call me by my first name. Come on in. The table is already set." she said and smiled.I walked into the dinning room and saw Harry putting flowers on the table that we're perfectly matching with the dark red plates. We sat down. Anne was sitting in front of me and Harry on her right . "The cake still needs its time but we could serve you tea if you like."told me Anne. "Sure. I'd like something with fruit in it ,please." "Sure. Harry? " Anne looked at Harry, he nodded and got up to go into the kitchen. "Now , how about you tell me something about yourself ? " asked Anne curious. "Err, so I'm Anna Mayer but..." i stopped my speech and looked at her in confusion. "What's going on?" Anne wanted to know. I laughed. "I just wanted to tell you that you could call me An but that would just cause even more confusion, right?"I explained. "Yes, probably. But Anna is very beautiful. " she answered. "Thanks. Well, I'm 17 years old and..." Anne's eyes opened wide. "I know , I don't look like 17." I laughed. "I may be excused for a minute. " she said while nearly running into the kitchen. It was quiet but I could still understand what they were saying. A: "Did you know that she's 17 , Harry? " H: "No but now I do. " A: "You said that she was a beautiful young lady. I nearly asked her if she had a big sister. " H: "She is ,right? Beautiful? " A:" Yes but 17! That are nearly 10 years , Harry ! " H: "First of all between you and dad were 10 years ,too. " A: " Yeah, but I wasn't 17 back then. And your dad wasn't famous. " H:" Do you want to say that she just wants my money? We don't even know each other yet. Just because I said she was beautiful doesn't mean I want to marry her , for God's sake! " Then he got back into the dining room with a pot of tea. I wanted to say something but harry interrupted me . " Here's your tea . "
