Way To Live [Josh Raven] (English Version)

Chapter 5

- That's sad. - I look away and continue walking.

- Really? - He follows me.

- You have three friends and a manager at the hotel. If you walk around alone it's your choice.

- Maybe I don't want to get lost with them.

- This conversations it's pointless. - I try to walk into a small river that's down the street, it doesn't feel safe to go there but I go anyways. I notice that someone grabs my arm, I turn around and see it's Josh. - Are you serious?

- Don't you see you're going to fall?

- Can you see into the future?

- No, but that seems dangerous.

- It's not dangerous if there are footprints of people that have been there.

- Next time we'll stay in the city center.

- You are kidding, right?

- No if staying in a countryside hotel it's going to put you in risk, I'm not kidding.

- You're too extra. - He laughs. - At least get up if I can't go down. - He takes my hand and pushes me into him very quickly. I rest my hand on his chest, he's still holding me and looking into my eyes. He looking into my eyes is starting to become a thing. - Let me go? - I look at him. He takes a few minutes to understand what just happened and then he let go of me.

Once I'm free I start to make my way to the hotel, I was hopping to be alone but apparently Josh didn't want to.

- Where are you going? - I turn around and give him a stare and he smiles.

- I'm going to my room, you want to come with too? - He laughs and denies with his head. - Thanks.

When I arrive to the hotel I see Stevie.

- We're going for a walk, you coming?

- When?

- In a while. We can wait for you if you want to come. - I look at where Josh is standing and I nod.

- I'll let you know when I'm done.

- Nice. - I make my way to my room.

I get in my room and I go to the bathroom. I put my music, and get in the shower. When I'm done I get out, put my clothes in, do my make up, not forgetting my red lipstick.

I get down to the lobby where they were waiting for me Michael and the rest of them, Stevie and Sean.

- Ready? - Stevie asks. I nod. - Let's go. - Where's Josh?

We exit the hotel and get in the van. It's Stevie once again the one driving. The hotel is far away from the city so we might as well use the van.

We do a little bit of turism, we've never been here.

- What's up with you and Josh, Marchis?

- Nothing, why you asking?

- You spend too much time together.

- I spend time with everyone.

- Yeah, but most of the time is Josh.

- Well, sorry I didn't notice.

To be honest I didn't notice, I didn't think this was something that anyone would notice so that Stevie would could me out.

After spending almost the whole day visiting places, Sean ask us if we want to go there, when I get a message from Josh.

"Where are you?"

"Doing turism stuff with Michael, Sean and Stevie, why?"

"I didn't see you all day"

"I know. I told you I don't have anyone to get lost with."

"Aren't your friends enough?"

"I guess yeah. But sometimes not."

"Oh. Well right now we're looking for a place to have dinner if you want to come."

"Where are you?"

"Looking for a place that has gluten free food."

- Marchis. - Sean calls me out.

- What's up?

- We've been trying to get you to answer us like twenty times and you weren't answering.

- I'm sorry. Tell me. - I look at my phone. Josh hasn't answered.

- Where do you want to have dinner?

- I don't know, anywhere where there's gluten free food.

"Come here."- I read the message and I can't help but ask myself what does he want.

- Okay, we'll look for it.

"What for?"

"To see you." - I'm confused about him wanting to see him, I won't ask anymore questions.

"Where are you?"

"At the hotel."

"I'm coming". - I put my phone in my bag. - Hey, boys. - Everyone turns around. - Go wherever you want. I'm tired. I'll go back to the hotel, okay?

- You sure? It's far away.

- Yeah, I'll take public transport. I'll be fine, I have a good orientation.

- Okay, whatever you want. If you need anything, call us. - I nod.

- Bye.

I start walking to the public transport to get to the hotel. I'm really tired

After a long way to the hotel I finally arrive. I go to my room to leave my stuff there, when I close my door there's someone knocking there. I open the door and I see it's Josh.

- What are you doing here? - He give some a bag. - What's this?

- Gluten free food, for you.

- That's why you wanted me to come here?

- Yes.

- Thank you. - I smile. - Do you want to come in? - He nods, I move to let him get in the room to sit on the bed. - Did you do anything today?

- Yeah, I went to visit some places.

- You could have come with us, we did the same.

- I told you I preferred being alone or with the right person.

- Yeah, right. - I take a look into the bag because, in all honesty, I haven't eaten today and I'm hungry.

- I didn't know what you liked so I hope it's okay.

- It is, thank you. - He smiles.

- You're welcome, what are you doing tomorrow morning?

- I don't have any plans yet.

- Maybe we could make plans together.
