LEO
It's a wet and fresh day in New York, although it's May, people here always seem in a hurry and now even more.
Martha, that always prepares me some sweets for lunch, was more upset than usual.Which is impossible since you can compare her to a hyena.
But I'm a friendly person so I smile at her, I pay my strawberry cupcake and I go out.
Today everyone is nervous and Leo too.
Since when I'm in the car with him he looks annoyed. If the football makes angry so much why keep playing?
Of course I know, because it's always been his dream and he needs this to get into college. We decided to stay here, is the city of dreams, why go away? Leo is fighting to get a scholarship into a college here and I have been pretty much accepted at Juilliard but I still have to make a final audition. And it's tomorrow in the afternoon. I decide to break the silence.
<< I'm afraid to fail tomorrow. >>
<< You'll be fine and you tell me many times that you were already been accepted! >> he answers without taking his eyes off the road.
<< Yes but I have to sing a last song, a cover for one of the judges who wasn't present at my last audition, I'm thinking about Bird Set Free by Sia , what do you say? >>
<< Good...>> he answers without looking at me.
Alright, I'm going to lose my temper and If I say this it means that I will go crazy and it's very rare.
<< Leo what's going on? You're acting strange during this period and I don't think it's for the football. We can talk about this afternoon, I could come to your house and...>>
And finally Leo turns his gaze toward me.
<< There's nothing to say, I said what are the reasons and are always the same and since we've been together for three years you should know that! And I can't today. I have something to do. >>
I'm shocked for his tone and I can't help but respond.
<< And it's just because I've known you for a long time that I know you're not like that. And what you need to do later? >>
<< I don't have to tell you everything, Can I have my things to do some times?! Not that we need to do something in my house or in my room if you know what I mean...>>
Yes, we've been together for three years but we never have "slept" together.
Why? I'm not up to it, I love Leo very much but I've never felt the need. Because my love for him goes beyond this. That makes me the perfect cliché that any novel describes . For him it wasn't a problem, until today.
<< No comment your sentence, let me know when you will be more relaxed >> I say annoyed and then I continue to watch the view without looking at him for once.
Once we arrive at the parking lot of the school , Leo open me the car door and he hugs me immediately .
Suddenly he whispers in my ear.
<< I'm sorry I don't know what came over me. I don't think what I said.
I love you. See you tomorrow. Will you come back at home with Nick, right? >>
I decide to forgive him just this time. I can't be mad.I smile at him as he walks to go to the gym with his team.
I stay in here for a few seconds until I hear a gruff voice, that I know too well, behind my back .
<< Do you have any other cupcake for me or your boyfriend already eaten them all? >>
I turn and smile immediately.
<< Nick! >>
