In the other house the two boys sat on the couch having a couple of beers and pizza. The two best friends sat on the couch as if they could stay there forever and forget all their troubles. They were both lost in two different and unknown worlds but Jonathan came back first and laughed when his saw his friend staring at the ceiling.
Sam had troubles communicating with his father . He didn't know how he should tell him that he didn't wish to have a arranged marriage. Especially not with the chosen girl . This could be the death of him . His heart yearned to be somewhere else.
And as for Jonathan's heart it was still with the girl that fell on top of her the previous day. He kept on wondering when or how he could see her again and little did he know that the same girl he kept on day dreaming about was only a walking distance away from him she was actually his neighbour .He took in a deep breath as if he could still smell her coconut and nutty shampoo she'd used to wash her hair.
Sam was so out of this would that he nearly screamed when Jonathan threw the pillow at him. He'd zoned out in the middle of the movie.
He'd been calling him for several times now but he still didn't answer . A lot was running up and down his mind right now.
Sam ran his hand through his floppy and messy hair . The curtains were widely opened and its ray hit his skin together with the peach walls. His skin is usually Olive tanned but this time it was deeply tanned because they went to the beach yesterday and had a really great time with his best budd .
"Chill man . What's up with you ", he said.
"No nothing's wrong with me .What's wrong with you ? You seem lost ", he said across the sofa.
"You know what's wrong . Don't keep asking dude . You know what's wrong ", he said standing up from the couch and made his way to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water removed it cap and drank it all in one go letting the cool liquid easliy down his throat and let out a satisfied sigh .
"You should probably talk to your old man maybe he'll understand ", Jonathan said taking a seat in the opposite stool.
"I don't know . If I were you I'd say he would but I know him very well".
"Well then you can still elope go and get married with the woman you want ", he said laughing a little trying to enlighten his friend's mood but it wasn't working.
"And do you think the woman I want would still want me? I don't think so . That girl's been trough hell and back and if I think she's going to forgive me like that. I went away without saying goodbye", he sighed.
"But you were trying to protect her ".
"Well I thought I was but what if she knows already. She's not goong to think of it that way. I'm the bad guy now. And the look she gave me the other day Narisa showed up at the door step , said it all . She knows something and I'm sure about that ".
"I'm so sorry dude. I know it's tough", he said patting his friend on the back , took a banana and went back to the seating room but stop in his tracks as something outside the window attracted his attention.
"Dude!
" Sam ", he screamed. "There she is. See she's really here ", he said with the banana in his hand that was half way from getting in his mouth .
He kept his eyes on the girl wearing a white vest and peach shorts, eating an apple and made little moves every now and then . Whatever she was listening to over there must have been really good he thought.
"Who", Sam chuckled. "Your imaginary girlfriend. I know girls that have been throwing themselves at you but you never showed interest. So what's so different about this one ", he said moving from the stool to look at her.
"Hurry or she'll go ", he said not shifting his gaze from her for a slight second.
"Hahaha Ok now I think she's a ghost ", he laughed. "Ok wait she's real", said looking at the familiar girl. "But she's...-:, but Jonathan cut him off .
"I'm taking Blue for a walk ", he said placing the banana in Sam's hand.
"Right now ?".
"Yeah right now", he said getting Blue from his sleeping basket grabbed paper bags to pick after him slipped on his black Converses and headed for the door.
"Is he taking Blue for a walk or Blue is going to third wheel for him . "Puppy love", he laughed looking at the untouched banana that was in his hand and took a bite heading for the Sofa grabbed the remote and switched on Netflix. If only Freya could be in his arms right now.

As soon as Sammy came out of the gate she took out her earphones from her pocket .Connected them with her phone opened her Spotify playlist and played Therefore I am by Billie Eilish. As soon as it started blasting in her ears she walked towards the beach and it was late afternoon and people were moving from the beach, others walking their dogs ,couples taking walks and others jogging either on their own or with their friends or partner .
She continued walking while listening to the music and while replaying the last day's and today's events. Her two seconds crush that she didn't know if she would ever see .
Jonathan struggled keeping up with Sammy and started jogging a little but didn't want her to suspect anything . He still wanted to be undiscovered.
Sammy was now lost in that she no longer looked where she was going . Between the pavement and the sand was a small unrecognizable wall the blocked the sand from bwing on the paved ground .
She tripped and lost balance ready to fall on the sand with her face but she didn't. Some of her long hair touched the sand instead of her face. There was a strong arm that was now across her stomach and without even looking at the tintilizing smell of his cologne hit her nostrils and sent sparks and fireworks in her whole body and she didn't even need to turn to look at who that was.
