Love Is Made For The Foolish (English version)

Chapter 23 The Plan II

What the hell was Nick thinking when he came to Matt's apartment to serenade me? He's asking for a beating! Matt hangs out at the gym as soon as he has some free time and hell, the man can spend hours hitting the punching bag without looking tired.

Nick smiles as soon as he sees him open the door, Matt doesn't give him time for anything else, I see Nick fall backwards onto the side garden.

-You deserve that for coming to my window at dawn to sing ridiculous songs to my girl!- Matt's voice is thick and powerful, but I've never heard it loaded with such fury.

His hands are clenched, ready to deliver another blow with the same intensity.

The only thing I manage to do is place myself between them, at the same time, Nick stands up, wiping the blood from his lips.

Matt huffs like a bull, but his shoulders relax a bit when he feels my hand on his chest.

-¡Come on, hit me now that I'm ready!- Nick challenges him, undoubtedly pretending to be brave because I know he doesn't like violence at all. I'm almost positive that he wouldn't even endure a hit from my hand.

-Shut up now Nickolas! You've said enough. What the hell! what were you thinking? Do you want Matt to put you in a coma? -

I hear Matt's mocking laugh and admit I feel like laughing too.

-I just wanted you to know that I love you and I'm going to fight for you! I didn't think it would be so literal, but that's what it is.-

-Pffff, as if you could compete against me! - Matt says crossing his arms, containing all his anger because I 'm between them.

-Well, and did you think this was the best way? Nick, we are no longer crazy and impulsive teens, you can not go by another man's house and serenade the woman with whom he has ... something! -

-I know, I'm sorry, it's just that I want another chance; it's all I ask- His voice has something of a plea and apology combined.

-I think the best thing is for you to go, we can talk later, okay? -

-You should do it,- Matt's voice breaks the silence that was now becoming too long.

For a moment I think he's talking to Nick, however when I turn around ... He is looking at me.

-What?- Nick and I ask at the same time.

-Look,- Matt says, passing his hands thru his hair as if his thoughts irritate him. -Although right now I just want to hit him, this hippie proposes something interesting ... it is clear that we are both crazy about you, and you have feelings for both of us.-

He looks at me and I don't know if he expects me to confirm or deny it, as I'm silent, Matt continues.

-We will both do everything to win you over and you ... will have to choose one of us. The loser must accept it and not bother you anymore, meaning disappear from your life.-

-What are you talking about, Matthew Joseph Levy?- I yell at him, -Are we in high school? Oh my God!-

-Well, I accept! - Nick says ignoring me and holding out his hand, Matt accepts it with a firm squeeze. -See you soon doll,- Nick tells me with a wink.

Matt turns and walks into his apartment, leaving me alone, not understanding what just happened.

When I walk in, I find Matt sitting at the bottom of the stairs, he seems to be in a deep thought process.

-Tomorrow I will go and stay at my parents' house, so you will have time and space to think, obviously I don't want you to go to your apartment, this is still the safest place.-

He gets up, kisses my forehead, and without further ado, goes up to the guest room and locks himself in.

-I live in a teenage novel,- I say to myself with a sigh.
