Jake ran all over the place looking for something to give to that cute Kazakh that he found cute and even more so when he stopped to watch the video that he recorded again.
"Love is trembling happiness."
—Kahlil Gibran
The idea was basic for Jake, to look for something beautiful and that does not attract much attention as the person who would give him that gift, he kept running through those snowy streets, instead of walking calmly and normally, he just looked like crazy. trying not to see himself as crazy.
He went from one place to another hoping to find a store that would catch his attention, he went from one place to another, he crossed the street like a madman, his feet were slipping down the street as he had a thin layer of ice, he was giving up He did not know what else to do his desperate feet were looking for, his eyes roamed each store, he could not believe that he would not find anything.
He was getting desperate, he wanted to cry like a child without consolation, he couldn't find what he was looking for, surely Aibek would be disappointed in him.
That thought was killing him, little by little he gave up, it was a bad feeling, until he remembered the expression of the Kazakh, so tender, ashamed but happy that he refused to give up.
-Not! I must look for it, I must look for a great gift for Aibek! - And with that new thought he returned to his immense search for a perfect store.
He had finally found a shop where they sold bear things and that lit up his face with a big smile of happy life. Jake had a kind of fondness for the Kazakh and Aibek was confused, it was only a matter of time before his feelings were completely cleared up.
Returning to the hotel where a Kazakh man was finishing taking a quiet shower covering himself with a bathrobe, he was able to sit on the edge of the bed while thinking about that encounter with a certain Canadian.
But the nightmare had returned to him and it was when he received messages from a certain Russian who seemed to "yell at him" because of the capital letters of the text.
Zinov's Message
"WHAT KIND OF STUPID JOKE IS THIS? WE DIDN'T TALK ANYMORE AND YOU GET TO GET TOGETHER WITH THAT FOOL?"
16:30 hrs.
"ANSWER BEKA! "
16:31 hrs.
"DON'T EVEN IGNORE MY MESSAGES! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE WITH THAT KING OF PACOTILLA!"
16:31 hrs.
The messages rained down on the Kazakh who surprised him by how rude they sounded, he only sighed watching the news on TV and in fact there were not only photos of when they entered the cafeteria but also when they both shared the cake.
While one was filled with concern and insecurity thanks to the news and the messages from the Russian.
Another was looking at what to give to his new friend, he had in his hands several teddy bear keychains, he saw which one Bek would like the most but he could not choose so he asked others to embroider his initials.
While they were doing it, I look on some shelves for some dark chocolate chocolates in the shape of bears and when I have them I take two bags and leave them in a basket, I take a cute necklace of bears as a couple and leave it equally, maybe that would be enough ... Or not? When his eyes fell on a teddy bear backpack, he did not hesitate to take it, it was medium and perfect for the Kazakh, I also bought a notebook, some pencils, an eraser, a pen, everything with bears, so with that I avoid buying all the store, just paid and with the gift wrapped he went with his parents who have come for him, he was totally happy with what he would give that cute Kazakh.
"Love is the greatest snack in life"
-Pablo Picasso
Soon he would give that gift to his new friend to whom he gave a great feeling of affection and something else that he did not understand was, he just knew that the feeling was there.
Once he arrived at the hotel, he did not hesitate to go up to his room and leave the impeccable gift on his bed in his hand he had one of the bear keychains to which they had put an "A" and a "K" initials of Aibek his name He left it on his cell phone so he could prepare for the competition, he was so energetic that he forgot that he had to catch up with that competition where he would compete with his great friend who finally spoke that same day.
He walked from one place to another thinking about what he would do, he thought that his friend would beat him up for venturing to give him something, but he could not simply stay with the desire to buy him whims, there was that "I don't know what" that made him too crazy for the brown-skinned boy who drove him crazy.
~ Narrates Jake ~
For the love of me! I feel so anxious! I already want to bring Beky to see her gift! I know he will like it but I'm afraid he will reject it .. What do you guys think?
Oh! I'm crazy enough to talk to someone I don't even see
I can not! How about rejecting it? Or ... what if he is offended? I can not take this!
And the king was consuming himself in his anxiety of being rejected again by someone and more when someone special was made to him.
On the other hand we return to the cute Kazakh who only suffered a pain that no one would notice, one so painful that the feeling depressed him and he knew that he should not let himself be defeated by him, less in that important competition where he would see him in the face, that it made him nauseous.
~ Narra Bek ~
Zinov is insane .. I send a couple of very strange messages .. he was supposed to have cut off communication .. but ... now he is claiming me for being with Jake ...
I had left my phone lying around and I just lay on the bed I was tired but I shouldn't show weakness today was the day where I would take the gold medal!
I had to concentrate, I had to forget that past, No one will take away my chance to win!
Jake and Bek: See you in the next chapter "The final Grand Prix"
Jake: —And they'll see how he conquered my queen! -
Bek: —I'm not your..queen ..-
Jake: "For now baby-"
