The Way To New Beginnings

chapter 21

  "What? What did I do?" Oh, boys how much they like to play themselves retards. "You sit very close to me, and put your hand on me, you have a girlfriend and stay away from me!"Why do not you want to talk to me, what do not you want to be with me?"

 "What about open relationships?" "What are you crazy about?"

He laughs. "That's not what I meant, I'm not into open relationships?"

 "I just ask, do not you have a crush on me?" Rude, and I answer with a grin, "You made me laugh, I really do not have a crush on you."

"It seems to me that you are!"

 "Tell me you're with all the girls like this, does your girlfriend know about it? What do you want from me?" Listen, my Vanessa and I are not together anymore! "And I'm in total shock.

 "what why?" And put my hand in my mouth. "Do not get it wrong, it's just a pity you guys were cute together, I mean, never mind."

 "Ok!"

Returns to his question, "Do not you have a crush on me??"

 "Theo, you'll understand, you're not my type!" And he smiles with a sly smile, and I add, "We work together on special education work, not beyond that." "Okay, okay, friends?

 "Yes, friends!"

 "Well, can I invite you to lunch tomorrow?"

  "Oh well, all right!", I agreed that we would be their friend already, inviting me to lunch, what is he pleading? , He just does not stop  

  Let's have lunch, and then he holds out his hand to me to shake it and I feel like we've signed a peace agreement. He starts to get up from the chair, and I follow him, feeling ashamed, and then he comes slowly, slowly, and puts a soft kiss next to my lips. And I close my eyes, this kiss is casual but she is already doing the excitement that does not stop all the time he comes close to me intimate, I also feel a bit excited by his body language or I want him to respond the same way.

  It will not happen, I mean, of course, it will not happen, I have to stop responding like that. I open my eyes and he smiles softly and I smile and blush at his reaction, so say good so I move, and I say "Okay!" , And he still stands up and does not move so do I, until I decide to get out of the embarrassing situation, and say "Okay, then dinner tomorrow, what time?" "20:00!" ,"I will come ! ". He walks toward his friends, and they leave the pub. I go back to the girls, and they ask as an interest, "Well, what did he want?" And smiling, "Just dinner with him, tomorrow?" They startled "What?" "Yes, calm down."  

"I made it clear to him that we are just friends and that's it, he broke up with his girlfriend, and Naomi responds with her raised eyebrows

"Break up with his girlfriend, and invite you to dinner?" Liam's a little suspicious, do not you think? "

"girls!' We only eat dinner together, and besides, nothing will happen and I will not let it happen either. They say, "Okay, what you're saying."

  The next evening I get organized for dinner, but with great enthusiasm, it's just a friendly and peaceful meal or somehow trying to work on myself that's what it is, right? wearing jeans and pink flip-flops, no makeup and the most natural hair. Mother asks where I'm going? And I lie. I do not want her to know that I'm going to Theo for dinner, do not ask questions and expect expectations from that,  

  I reply, "I'm going to Naomi. We're learning psychology." 

  Ok! Pleasant learning. " I come to Theo's room, knock on his door, and he opens the door 'and puts on a white shirt that does not hide what he has under his undershirt, short khaki trousers, barefoot. Liam will stop staring at him, it's not nice, he smiles enthusiastically and says "I'm glad you came, come in." I follow him and close the door, and he says, "Dinner, you'll be ready soon," I smile sheepishly. I ordered pizza, it's ok? "And I laugh," No! No, it's all right! " "why are you laughing? 

"I invested a lot in the meal, and I also ordered a cola?"

I answer with cynicism, and he answers with a laugh and I smile like a retard, his laugh and the way he treats me, I start to have butterflies in my stomach, I need to Keep that thought away, it's not cool, it's not.

We sit down to eat, he made the table and plates, glasses, ooh, what a romantic, right?

And then, as in the past, he puts his hand on his chin, one finger outstretched on his lip, and his eyes look at me and make me feel uncomfortable, I feel like taking myself and running away. And change position and say, "Go ahead and eat," while we eat and talk about why everyone decided to become a teacher? , And I replied as usual because I love English and especially children, and Theo because he worked with boys at risk, since he was in high school and this field working with children very challenged him, and he chose to be a teacher, English teacher, and special education because it gives him giving, to them. And I think, How cute, cute and nice guy, and working with kids, it just does not work out for me, he looks like the boys who do not learn, the clowns of the class and walks around with all the girls of the class, but well he really came out with a beautiful girl. A rogue thought flying away from me!

We finish eating, Theo gets up, and suddenly takes his laptop and puts on his music, and I do not understand why he's putting music on now? I'm going to go, I do not really want to go because it's really nice to be together with him, a bit late and tomorrow there's school. Turns up the music a bit, and holds out his hand

"Will you dance with me?"
