Once more in the park they could certainly call theirs, Marina and Ava, were continuing their saturday morning tradition. Something although had changed.
- Hey, why do I feel like you want to say something to me? Or perhaps you are waiting for me to say something to you? - Marina paused looking at Ava. Waitting... for her senses could not be wrong.
-No. It is nothing. She said looking around the park, noticing two man running in their sweat t-shirts towards them.
- Well, now I know I am right. Come on. Let's go eat your favourite chocolate cake and we will speak it out.
Before she had started to degustated the moist slice of chocolate cake resting on the table, Ava gain courage and poured her thoughts that much like a pot of tea had been boiling for long enough to be served.
- I don't understand. We were ok and you have been acting like you are mad at me. I don't understand.
-I am not mad at you. I could I? You are my pinguins...
-You can't do that.. Call me your penguins and brush it all of, like you haven't been cold and distant...
-I am sorry, I didn't meant to..
-That's ok, but I want to know why... Why are you like this... Is it because of Bea? - Ava was digging for an answer, for the answer she wanted to ear.
-Why would be because of her?
-Because since we met that night you started to act out, but I don't understand why, because you also have your mysterious girl.
- It's not mysterious is simply not important.
-You haven't answer about Bea.
-Look, I can't say much, I just didn't like when I saw you together.
-Together? When?
-I didn't meant that way. She is not good enough for you.
-Nobody is. Nicole wasn't good for me, Bea isn't good. Who is good for me than...
-I don't know I just want to protect you. That night, I saw her leaving your house...
-What? How? Why didn't you come in...
-I just felt stupid. I was going to do a surprise to you, after the party... Wanted to spend some time with you and then this Bea was there... Which is fine, you can do what you want to... I don't even know why I care this much...
-You don't? -Ava questioned with a lost expression in her eyes. - I see... Do you still want to come with me to LA?
-I understand if you had change your mind... Perhaps Bea would want to go, she seemed to share the same passion with you.
-Just stop talking about Bea. If you really want to know, there was no chemistry whatsoever between us.. She is nice, but that's it and the only reason why I invited in was because I felt stupid in the tent I have built for us both. There was a reason I have asked you to come to mine. I wanted to share this night with you. Just with you.
For seconds there was as a silence filled with regret surrounding their bodies.
-I... I don't know what to say...- Marina found herself with no particular explanation. She felt as if her body was being crushed against a wall and suddenly the pressure on her chest was too strong to enable her to breath.
-Forget about it. You don't have to say nothing. - She said with her eyes watery, before she left abruptly with a painful knot in her throat. Could they both be suffocating in pain? In that exact moment, it certainly seemed like it.
