"Curious?" "Why should I?"
"Becuase of the surprise you asked him for"
Ruby let out an annoyed sigh and blew out the smoke as she sat on her small balcony.
"Ruby! Are you smoking?!" she heared her best friend on the other end of the phone asking in an accusing way.
She inhaled demonstratively and blew it out into the microphone so he would hear it.
"You know that will get your pretty ass sooner into your grave than it should!"
"Jak, thanks for the lesson but guess what that's not why I called you dumbass"
She could hear her friend laugh at the other end.
"Yeah you called because you wanted to know if taking a naked bath with your crush in the middle of the night was a good idea" he said and made her sigh again
"Fuck you!"
"Come on Ruru, you know what I mean. You're adult or at least a little grown up, so you can decide what to do. I ship you two allready and even though your move from last night was a little risky and could have ended bad, it did not! So please just try to get happy, ok. From what you told me he seems to be a great guy and handsome"
-"Jak! Not the point!"
"Yeah whatever...what I want to say: Don't stay in your own way! I know you for years now and sometimes you...have the tendency to...yeah...make things more complicated than they actually are...so just let it happen. See what he'll come up with and play his game this time, because he played yours last night. Unless it comes out that he's some creep, then run, but you know what I mean"
"Jak Hutchcraft, allways good for some advice" she said joking a little but got serious again "Thanks Jak. Really. I just wanted to hear what you think about it."
"I think that you deserve happiness, that's all" he said and she could hear him smile.
"Wanna meet tomorrow for breakfast?" she asked.
"Sure, I'll get to yours at ten, ok"
"Perfect! Then see you."
"And Ruby...let me immediately know when your sweetheart"
- "Jak!"
"When your sweetheart gets in touch!"
"Yeah yeah I will! And you tell me when Theo marries Adam!" she contered.
They said bye and hung up.
She really loved Jak as her best friend. She met him when she came to London a few years ago at a bar and immediately became friends with him.
She discovered later that his brother was the singer of the band Hurts from which she knew 'wonderful life' and 'stay'
She also knew Theo and Adam, the two who started the band and has been to some concerts and actually also really liked the boys.
She had called Jak because he was the only one who would not judge her for what she did last night. Not that she regreted her little naked swim with Alexander, but she only wanted a second thought on it. If she had told Jak that Alex' name was Turner she would have had a screaming and Jumping around Jak wh would have told her WHO this Alexander was, but for both it was just some Alexander.
She was glad how the last night had turned out and actually Alexander had found a place to her heart by now. He was smart, funny, a little shy at times and she could feel that he was hell of a dreamer with a huge heart who really mixed the best Margarita in whole britain.
She finished her cigarett and extinguished it into the ashtray Jak got her for her last birthday because it had the shape of human lungs and from the second they met he allways tried to make her stop, without any great success.
She went back inside when Heisenberg jumped off the couch and meowed to get his bowl filled with food. She got it from the ground and walked to the kitchen to do so when suddenly it knocked at her door. Her heart made a little jump and she put the bowl down to open the door. She expected him, but no one was there, the corridoor was empty. She went back inside, trying to stop Heisenberg from escaping when she realised that he was playing with something on the ground, a piece of paper. She smiled and took it away from him before he could crumble it up.
She got to the window to read it in the light and smiled when she saw his handwriting, written with black ink:
National History Museum 7 pm, entrance
