Love Is Made For The Foolish (English version)

Chapter 26 Matt's Two Weeks

-Well, it is my turn to dazzle you,- Matt said with a sheepish smile.

I had expected anything but romanticism from Matt, but once again, he managed to surprise and confuse me at the same time. I expected even more luxuries than on my dates with Nick, but no.

Matt had changed a lot, I already knew the pretentious Matthew and to tell you the truth I like this new man much more.

The last day of our two weeks of courtship came sooner than I would have liked.

-Where are we going? I don't understand why we left so early! - in fact, not even the sun is up yet.

-Come on lazy dazy, you've been very sleepy lately.- That new nickname made him smile.

-Well, I'll sleep in the car and there's nothing you can do about it,- I say in a whimsical and pampered tone.

-You'll have to do your best dude,- he said to himself as I "slept" in the passenger seat.

After a while on the road, Matt woke me up.

-We have arrived princess,- he said next to my ear and gave me a gentle kiss.

For a moment he stared at me, with my sleepy eyes and shy smile, I felt a knot in my stomach.

I could not put words in my mouth to express the wonderful sight in front of me.

The sun rose slowly behind the ocean, bathing it in shades of orange and gold. A group of dolphins jumped from the water, birds sang good morning songs, and my heart was filled with something that I had not felt for a long time.

Matt's voice broke the song of nature:

-This is where I come every morning, since we started dating, I just stop here and contemplate all of this,- he said pointing to the magical scene.

-Why do you do it?-

-I don't know,- he paused, as if struggling to find the right words. -I think it is for two reasons; the first one, it's because every sunrise gives me the possibility of being better than the day before and that means being better for you. And the other, well, it just makes me happy and that's what I want to share with you.-

I was silent, feeling every word, the emotion was overwhelming and for the first time since I met Matt, I couldn't say anything, I just leaned my head on his shoulder and we looked at the ocean together.

-Who are you and what have you done with Matt?"- I look at him after a while and tease him.

-Hahahaha, I've asked myself the same question every day since the first night we slept together.-

-You mean the night you almost swallowed the room with your snoring?-

The memory made us laugh out loud, it was more because of the emotion that filled the air, than because it was actually funny.

We came home after spending the day together and before I could get out of the car, Matt took my hand and said:

-I don't know what decision you're going to make, and hell! I'd love to tell you to choose me because I've fallen in love with you, but it wouldn't be fair. I want you to think about what is best for you, not for Nick or for me-

I didn't know what to say, it had become a habit for Matt to leave me speechless, so I just noded.

Matt released my hand, got out of the car, and opened the door for me. With a sweet kiss on the head, he left me with a thousand thoughts.

Both Nick and Matt had said goodbye to me as if they were never going to see me again, suddenly all the weight of the last weeks and what they represented, fell on me and I felt sick.

I ran to the bathroom and emptied all the contents of my stomach, I felt very dizzy and more emotional than ever.

-Why did I have to fall in love with two great guys?- I said aloud, but who answered was not the voice inside me.

The voice that answered me was masculine and full of something that made my skin crawl from head to toe.
