A very difficult start

A very difficult start

I woke up very early the next day and ran to check my phone but nothing, not even a message from her, maybe this is over without even having started, I couldn't leave it like that, I had to talk to her so I took a shower, got dressed and at about 9am I left in my car to Gentil's house, when I arrived I rang the bell to see if anyone opened or left the house but no one came out so I decided to get out and go directly to knock.

I knocked twice and finally they opened the door and it was Gentil's father.

Hello sir I'm sorry if I woke you up I'm looking for Gentile.

Don't worry, I had to get up anyway.

Gentil is not here, he left very early to his cousin's house in Madison County.

Can I have the address please?

Daughter, Madison County is more than 2 hours away from here, she will be back in the evening.

I'd still like her address.

I'll write it down for you.

He came in and wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to me and I left and tried all day to talk to her but nothing at that moment April wrote

Hello friend you disappeared or you lost my phone number

I replied with another text

Friend I have so much to tell you this is more difficult than I thought it is gentle she doesn't want to see me because of jhos asshole and he doesn't answer my calls or my messages

But what is going on?

I explained to her the facts from the beginning, that is, from jhos' party to last night's date, I went to her house but outside I saw jhos' father's car and I didn't want to go in.

She told me

You should be careful jhos suspects something is up and I'm writing you because last night he wrote me asking me a lot of questions about Gentil and anthony so you better not be so obvious in your unbridled quest to see Gentil today or you will be the one who ends up getting caught yourself.

Last night I thought he was there I drove by your house and saw jhos' father's car.

She stammered a little and said

I meant he's here.

I didn't think anything of it and told her

April I need to explain to her what happened she blocked me from calls from messages

Give me her number

What for? To call her from my phone I will talk to her

And I dictated it to her and from there I went to my house and when it was lunch time April came home

I immediately took her up to my room closed the door and asked her

Could you talk to her

Calm down.

Yes I did talk to her but she says she is confused

Confused why?

She says she felt something very bad yesterday when you were kissing jhos and that she doesn't want to feel something like that again because she's afraid of this relationship she has with you.

I have to explain her that that kiss was from jhos to me and I couldn't reject it because there was a time magazine photographer there

April took me by one hand and asked

Are you sure you want to get into such a complicated relationship besides your engagement is a fact it was already published in time magazine in the end don't you think that she is the one who will really suffer because you are not going to end your relationship with jhos?

Yes I will I am just looking for the perfect excuse and the right time.

April I swear I am in love with her and I have never felt this for anyone it's unfair that she just ended me without letting me defend myself

Well then get dressed so you can defend yourself because we are going to Madison county for the love of your life

I screamed with happiness and hugged her asking who will take us and with what excuse we are going to Madison County.

My mom and dad are going to Madison County today for a charity cocktail party for the abandoned children's foundation at the Madison County mall and I came to get you to come with me because it's super boring.

I didn't think twice about it and went to take a shower, I told my dad but he said as long as I didn't want to go back alone because of the boredom that was it.

I could wait for her to come back in the evening but I was sure that Jhos would be at home and I was not going to find a way to go out to see her.

I took the address that Gentil's father gave me and it took 2 hours and 20 minutes to get there and Abril's parents came downstairs and she told him

Dad I will walk to the mall while you go in to your meeting with mom

Ok daughter but no leaving the mall

Ok dad and how long is the meeting

One hour to two

Well in an hour and a half I'll be here

She grabbed my arm and as soon as her parents entered the mall offices we ran outside and took a cab I gave the address to the driver I asked him

How far is it?

Not at all about 10 minutes away from here but it's not a very nice place to visit.

We got a little scared but I wasn't going to go back without talking to her.

The neighborhood was lonely and lacked any paved streets

until the cab driver said this is the house I'll wait for you ?

Yes please (I said)

I got out and knocked on the door and it was Anthony himself who opened the door.

Gentile come run!

She looked out and said

What 's up?

He still with the door between closed without her even being able to see that it was me outside said

I do believe she loves you, in fact I assure you she does

She said from inside

What are you talking about

And he stepped back as he opened the door wide, her face when she saw me was one of surprise and at the same time I felt her excitement and my heart could almost be heard up to where she was standing.

I said to her

I'm not leaving until we talk

She smiled and said

You've gone crazy how can you come so far by yourself

I smiled too

I didn't come alone I came with April

She looked at me with that perfect smile and replied

Alone or with April it's the same thing

I leave and look for my jacket

And so we got in the cab to go back to the mall she and I sat in the back and I held her hand tightly all the way

We got to the mall and I decided that the best thing to do was for her and me to go up to the kitchen fair we sat at the back of the fair where the terrace was we looked at each other

And I said

Let me talk

Everything that happened yesterday was nothing more than Jhos' stupid inventions to win me over.

She told me

And the kiss and the press, you won't be able to stop it and what I felt yesterday was something very ugly, a helplessness that made me want to cry and I don't want to feel something like that again.

I extended my arm on the table to take her hand and I told her

Give me time I will find a way to break this commitment but please don't leave me I love you I swear I felt like I was suffocating for not knowing about you I didn't even want to have an appetite.

I love you

She smiled and asked

How do you know it's love

For it's the most beautiful and terrifying feeling I've ever felt in my whole life

And I just need to have you close to me so that everything around me magically disappears and time goes faster than normal.

She pressed my hand and looked at me

I had never felt the need to give myself to someone only with you and the truth is that I love you too and that's why I'm scared because I don't want to get hurt yesterday for the first time I knew for the first time what jealousy was and it feels very ugly and when I got home I cried and I'm very afraid to feel something like that again.

I promise I won't make you have a bad time like that again.

We'll give each other another chance

She smiled and covered her eyes with one hand and said to me

Of course

Let's give each other another chance

Two hours passed and I didn't even feel it April sent me a text message

April: Come on let's go my parents are already out

I didn't want to leave but I had to come back with them or my parents got mad at me

I told her

I have to go April's parents are already out

Maybe we can go to the bathroom

I want to give you a kiss before I go

She didn't answer she just got up and walked to the bathroom and I followed her we went in there were two ladies and as soon as they came out I grabbed her by her waist and leaned her against the bathroom door in case someone wanted to come in she couldn't.

She wrapped her hands around my neck and our lips met it was a soft kiss but it lasted about two minutes when they started to push the door and we separated we ran out of there and laughing I said to her in a very low voice almost without a sound letting go of her hand to divert me to April.

Bye I love you

And she just stood there smiling at me

And I left I didn't even manage to feel the almost 2 and a half hours on the road just thinking about her as she had already unblocked me she sent me a message

Gentile: I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love youooooooooooooooooooooo

I laughed as I read it and April's mom said

That youthful love that you transmit your smile assures me that it's jhos who wrote to you

I looked at her as my happy face changed to one of having to play along and said

If it's jhos I want to see him already

We arrived first they let me April downstairs with me and I told her

Thank you April

No samy we are friends and this way the way is free for me and newton

Hahahaha we laughed

I told her

Thanks to you I spent the most beautiful and unforgettable afternoon believe me you will be my friend for the rest of my life
