-Do you understand it know? If I had kissed you that night, maybe you wouldn't want to meet me again.
-You could have controled yourself.
-I knew I could not. Don't you feel something strange when we touch?
-So you...
-I tried to be indifferent to you. I didn't want to waver. If I kissed you then, maybe I would have wanted more than that. It would have been too quick for you, right?
-Yes. But, where have you been? Why did you meet me now?
-I traveled. I needed to be far enough from you to think. And I came back as soon as I had clear answers.
-Then do you like me?
-Do you really need to ask after that kiss?
-Of course. Who was the one who disappeared after giving me mixed signals?
-Hahaha...sorry about that. Yes, I like you because you wouldn't believe me if I told you I love you, right?
-Then, today is our first day.
-I wouldn't mind if you chose the previous times we met.
-Trust me, you wouldn't want the first time I saw you.

After that, they talked and talked about trivial things. But this time, they were happy staying with each other. And some steamy kisses more.
Soraya couldn't believe herself. She knew it had been a long time since someone kissed her, but he was too good. It was so good that she answered in kind. And that was a new discovery for her. Maybe her curse was finally lifted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next days, Soraya resembled a little girl in love. Finally, a good romance arrived at her life.
Thanks to that, the relationship between Liam and Meghan survived too, probably?
Soraya and Michael met everyday. Be it at the cafe, car, a park, the cinema...and finally Christmas arrived.
They were going to watch a movie at his house. It was the first time she went there. It was a two-bedroom flat, with a kitchen, living and dinning room and two bathrooms.
And it was just half and hour apart by car from her house.
-What movie do you want to watch?
-Um...Ghost of the eighties or one of James Kond.
-I'd prefer one of action.
-Then, let's see mr Kond.
The movie had ended and Soraya was quite tired. She decided to just sleep there. Just sleep. Michael agreed. They were about to go to bed when the sounds of a key in the door could be heard.
-Were you waiting for someone at this hour?
-No. Go to the room now.
Soraya listened to him. Michael grabed a frying pan and went towards the door.
They door finally was unlocked and opened. There, someone neiher of them did expect arrived.
-What are you doing with the frying pan, Michael?
-Louise? What are doing here at this hour?
There she was, Louise, Michael previous girlfriend. She had come from a party or she was going to one right now. She was wearing a partially and sexy see-through black dress with a red coat.
-I forgot something.
-We broke up more than two months ago. I thought you didn't have my keys anymore.
-And I don't. I just asked the janitor for your emergency keys.
-What did you forget?
-My luxury bra. The one you gifted me.
-I'm sure it's not here. I cleaned up after we broke up and I didn't find anything more that what I sent you before. So please, leave now.
-But I remember it was in the room, under the bed.
-I cleaned thoroughly and there's nothing in there.
-Well, I can make sure as I'm here now or I won't be convinced.
-Don't you believe me?
-This has nothing to do with that.
-Uff...fine.
Michael left the pan on the kitchen stone and went towards the bedroom with her. He hoped she would just leave soon.
-Look there all you want.
-Thanks.
She seemed to be looking for something but she was in no hurry. Five minutes after, Michael took her out of the flat.
-Give me the keys.
-Don't worry, I'll leave them down.
-You shouldn't have come here in the first place without telling me beforehand. We're not together anymore. I don't want my ex coming in and out of my home like she pleases.
-Do you have someone new already?
-It's none of your business.
-So you do have someone. Is she here?
-You should go now, Louise. Don't come back again.
-I see. Well, merry Christmas! Bye.
Louise gave a light peck to Michael. He didn't avoid it because he knew that was her goodbye. Maybe, she had finally came to her senses. He was about to go in went the door opened from inside.
-I'm going home now.
-Why? Didn't you say you were tired?
-Being a little tired is better than to sleep with an open eye just in case your ex comes back and kill me in my sleep. Don't you think so? Luckily I went into the other bedroom.
-Don't be like this. She already returned the key.
-If I were you, I would change the lock. Can you take me home or should I just call a taxi?
-Fine, I'll drive you.
