He looked at me confused, I then left his side and stood next to Clarissa
He turned around seeing his mom smiling it looked like life got back to his soul
-got ya. I cheered
He put on a big smile and said - you guys tricked me, I can't believe you.
-I'm surprised it went that well, I have to admit you make a very good actress Shakira.
-he sure looked like he was about to cry. I laughed
-alright you two that's enough.
We both started laughing, the song hit its last note and Vanessa and Zack joined us
-Hey guys. Greeted Vanessa, what's going on? She asked
-Shakira and my mother here just pulled a prank on me. He explained embarrassedly
We all started laughing
-I told you she was full of surprises man. Laughed Zack
-yeah you did, I should have listened to you man. He chuckled
-I see you two have pulled it off pretty well, Gerard here was extremely worried. Said Vanessa chuckling
-I already predicted his reaction. Confessed Clarissa chuckling
-Oh yeah she did. I said amused adding foil to the fire
He laughed nervously as his face turned bright red
-I have to admit though that, your apartment is so beautiful Gérard, it's so dreamy and romantic I'm a huge fan.
-well, why don't I give you two a tour and tell you all about the prank. Offered Clarissa
I figured it was a way to leave me and Gerard alone
-that would be great misses piqué. Thanked Vanessa enthusiastically
-thank you, madam. Said, Zack
-please call me Clarissa, it will be my pleasure, this way. She lead them and they walked away before she left she whispered something in my ear
He gave her a suspicious look then adjusted his eyes on me
Enough running for today truce.
-okay truce. I giggled
Although his reaction was priceless and very entertaining, I'll give him a break for today
-I'm shook, to be honest. He confessed
-about what? I asked sitting down as my feet were killing me, I moaned then leaned down to take my heels off and massage my feet
-of how fast you clicked with my mom, this is the first time I actually witness that
-your mom is very wise, you just need to listen, she has some interesting things to offer. I said slowly massaging my feet to relieve the pain, my toes were numb
-is something hurting, you are you okay? He asked concerned
-just my feet. I chuckled
-yeah I know how that feels walking in heels, it's such a burden. He replied making funny faces
I held his arm to keep my self balanced but he didn't stop moving
-would you make yourself helpful and stand still, you're gonna make me fall. I laughed at how silly he was acting
-if you fall I'll catch you. He grinned, like I did this morning, twice. He started laughing
-first of all. I looked up at him, you caught my phone not me and the second time you purposely stood up to make me lose my balance, technically you were the cause behind every time I fell. I replied still leaning down
-touché. He surrendered, but I still held you and I always will.
-yeah, we'll see about that.
I put my shoes back on then sat up straight
-seriously. He said calmly, I'm mind blown
I didn't expect him to react this way, she must have a very distinctive character
I looked at him intrigued
-Why mind blown. I asked
-it's just that my mom can be very charismatic and bossy and sometimes it's very hard to get a word in at all and don't get me started when she sets her head around something, it's like Mark Clark wouldn't have a chance of saving the day. He laughed
-that makes me want to know her even more. I giggled
He made the most ridiculous facial expression and we both started laughing
-but seriously. I added, maybe the fact that you can't get a word in is a sign that you have to listen, not just hear cause there's a difference between the two, Once she feels you're acknowledging her and value her every word and opinion she will most certainly value yours too.
He looked at me confused
-how did you. He froze
-I might have taken psychology classes in high school. I blurted out laughing
-nice, my I offer you something to drink malady? He said waving to the waiter
-just a lemon juice, please. I informed the waiter
-lemon juice it is. Said he replied friendly
-plus, I think you should learn a thing or two, she looks like a very wise and experienced person.
-thank you. I thanked the waiter after handing me the juice
-huh. He said mysteriously
-what? I asked looking up at him
-you are the first person who said that about her the first time you see her.
-well I do see things in people that others fail to see, even those who are close to them. I teased him sipping into the straw
-touché, what do you see in me then that I "can't see in myself". He gestured the quotes
-you wouldn't want to know. I teased again
-why not? He said upset
-just because.
-come on you can't do this to me. He whined
-I'm warning you it'll scare you off.
-try me. He dared
-alright don't say I didn't warn you. I threatened
-okay so you grew up with parents who don't get along a lot because of how opposite they are, you even sometimes wonder how in the world they got married or they've fallen in love and the validity of the famous saying opposites attract, your mom is a spirited spontaneous, explosive, luxurious and persevering person while he is a calm workaholic, hate surprises kind of guy, she always has gotten what she wanted and he never opposed to her, having enough on his plate being a social celebrity, they live like a separated couple but when they cross paths, it's like the first spark all over again, which messed with your dating logic growing up because it's different than your friend's parents stories and that's why you're not close with your mom, because you think she'll not understand you since she always has it easy and your dad works all the time, non the less your looks have always given you an advantage to hooking up with girls.
-so are you saying I'm handsome. He interrupted me
-But, you've always have had trust issues, every girl you dated took advantage of your parent's wealth. I proceeded ignoring his remark
-do you have a spy camera on my private life or something? He asked confused
I laughed no I'm just very attentive to details and every little detail about you says something about you as a person and your personality.
-damn you really are something.
-am I right though. I asked amused
-for the most part. He said giggling
-what do you mean for the most part?
-well. He said giving me all his attention and getting so close that I could feel his breath on my skin, he was standing although the bar seats were high, he had to lean down to reach my level that's how tall he was
-you missed a tiny teeny little detail.
-and what's that? I asked in a daring tone
-I won't be having trust issues when I'm with you. He replied getting even closer where our lips almost touched, I quickly turned my head the other way
-well it has been a lovely night. I said glancing at my watch noticing it was close to midnight
-why is there a pumpkin that turned into a carros waiting for you outside or something
- yeah something like that. minus the prince charming part. I grinned standing up and putting my jacket on
-ouch am I not charming enough for you? He whined
-maybe if I weren't trying to avoid your kind of princes.
-come on! this is not fair, you don't even know my kind of princes.
-oh can you stop whining, I just have some studies to catch on to since I started classes a week late and I'm getting over some jet lag situation. I said slowly approaching him to pass by him, plus I don't mix education with pleasure. I whispered into his ear then slowly walked away, he froze for a second then joined me
-you don't have to leave right now, I'm on-board on everything I can help you. I heard him saying walking behind me while I was looking for Nessa and Zack, I just had enough for that day I was exhausted, I felt like that was the longest day of my life, I felt like I was going to pass out my head started spinning and my sight getting blurry then sudden darkness where I couldn't control my body anymore, I then fell but felt something catching me...
