FRIDA' S LIST

Chapter 18 RAINBOW

On the morning, the sun was flooding the room when I woke up in his arms. I was the first one to wake up. I went to the bathroom to take a shower, and brushed my teeth. When I came back, Anthony was still sleeping on the couch, and I couldn't resist. I leaned over him and smelled the odor of his hair. He smelt SO good. Louise cleared her throat behind me to let me know that she was there and that she witnessed everything. I jumped, like an absolute moron.

"I swear to God, you're a psycho, Crow," she said, shaking her head.

She walked across the living-room to the kitchen. I followed her.

"I'm not a psycho," I murmured.

"Oh, yeah! You are!"

She nodded and poured herself a cup of coffee. I watched her.

"Do you want some?" she asked.

"No, thanks. I don't drink coffee, remember?"

"Then stop staring at me! I won't let you sniff my hair! Forget about it."

"Ah, ah," I replied, faking a laugh.

"Anyway, thanks to you, I know there's hope for everybody."

I grunted in reply. She took a look at her wrist, and sighed.

"I forgot. Have you seen my Laruze watch?" she asked.

"The white one?"

"Yeah, have you seen it?"

"No. Why?"

"It's weird. I 'm pretty sure that my watch was in my room."

"Maybe you forgot it at your place."

"I've already checked it, dummy. Matt's gonna be angry," she frowned.

"Why?"

"He bought it for me when..." she stopped. "Hey, Anthony. What a surprise!" she said, looking over my shoulder."

"In the flesh. Hi," he said behind me.

His voice was still thick with sleep. I turned to him and looked at him in silence. He was SO attractive even though he had just rolled out of bed. His hair was quite a mess, and I liked it.

"Hi," I said like a retarded.

"Can I take a shower?" Tony said, rubbing his eyes.

"Sure, make yourself at home. The bathroom's on the left, near the bedrooms. And we've got extra toothbrushes under the sink," she said.

"Thanks," he nodded.

He left the kitchen and we watched him like two hungry jackals.

"Crow, your boyfriend's way too hot. I don't know how you did it, but you did it. And for that, I'll always respect you," Louise said.

"Stop, Louise."

"You really have to think about some stuff. He's a young guy, you know," she said, looking me right in the eye.

"Knock it off," I snarled.

My ears were hot as HELL.

"Okay, I gotta go. By the way, shouldn't you be at school?" she said, taking a look at her cell phone.

"I didn't hear my alarm."

"Yeah, I bet it. Anyway, go to school! It's important. Don't forget it."

"I know, I know. Don't worry. It's under control," I nodded.

I was sick of people telling me what to do, especially when nobody listened to me. I wasn't a kid anymore! She looked me up and down.
