I stood there, at the door way, as if planted to the ground. The stranger had his bag on his laps and he was staring at me. He was awake and I never planned on meeting him awake. I didn't know what to do next, it would have all been easier if Noa was here to talk to the stranger.“Hi, I'm Darwin, please, can you tell me where I am." He said, his voice was deep and song-like, he sounded like Noa. I was still watching him, his skin had taken his normal whitish glow. He was healthily tanned. He had developed facial hair, it made him look rougish... All in all the stranger was good looking. What did he say his name was?. I didn't get that part right. He turned his head to his side and he stared at his bag that was now laying on his temporary bed. I watched him fidget with it before bringing out a small book. He read through it and he frowned, it was a tour guide book and he couldn't read it. Was it supposed to help im situations like this?. “Do you speak any English?." He asked
While i was walking back to the house i could see that Kai was not outside. I felt that vibe, that somone was in, maybe a visitor. But we rarely had visitors. I walked to the house and i dropped the game on the ground. From where i stood i saw Kai, he saw me to but he didn't acknowledge my presence, surely there had to be a visitor in our house. I stood in the door, Noa was talking to someone, i could see his back, he was sitting on our couch. Suddenly he turned to me and i got lost in his icy blue eyes. Not just his eyes... Not just his eyes but something else. His details, it was as if i was staring at myself in the mirror but how come i had blue eyes, but it wasn't me. It was the stranger. For a very long time nobody spoke, if i were to break the silence what would i say, for long i had been trying to see what the stranger looked like when he was awake, i saw what he looked like and my mind couldn't wrap around it.“Hi." He said and it made me smile. But he didn't
“Noa," Kai said sternly. “Keep your voice down." " Welcome home, mother. “ Kai said. " I'm sorry, i'm so sorry i left you both without an explaination and i'm sorry it took me this long to return home, it took too long to pay back my debts.“ Their mother said." Where have you been?." Kai asked. " With the medicine man. “ She answered. " Bullshit. You're fucking lying, don't think you can leave and just return with your same shitty lie and think that we'll take you back.““Noa, you've changed, you've grown so much and i understand your agressiveness, and i know it's my fault." Their mother said. " You weren't expecting a grand entrance, were you?. “ Noa said harshly. I understood him, he was a sweet boy, he was just angry right now. “Noa, I don't want to tell you to bring your voice down again, it's your mother you're talking to." Kai shouted. Now all three of them were crying. I could see that Noa was about to say something. “Why don't you both just keep quiet and we'l
“Ará, what were you doing at the bar last night?." He started like an overprotective boyfriend. “I went to have a drink." I told him. “A drink, it seemed like you had more than a drink."“It was just a drink Toby." “You were drunk, what if I wasn't there at the exact time, you didn't even know where you were going, what if someone else got you..."“I'm fine now, thank you for helping me." I said with a small smile. He hasn't really changed much. He uses to fuss over me then and he's still doing it now. “You don't have to say thank you, we both know I would always love to be of help to you.""It's been like what, six years?." I asked him." Long enough for you to forget who I was. “" Tobias, I didn't forget you, you just changed so much. “" You also changed, a good change and I could still recognize you, no matter what. “ He still had that look in his eyes, the I-want-you-badly kind of look. I was not comfortable with him staring at me like that, I looked around the roo
“It's been ages." He said smiling. He hadn't changed much, he just got older and more beautiful with age. He looked neat and poise.“I never thought I would see you." I said to him.“Like they all say, it's a small world."“How have you been?." I asked him.“I've been good. I'm still good, how about you, how have you been?."“I've been good too."“So, did you continue acting?." He asked me.“Uhm, no, no I didn't."“Why, what did you do after getting your degree?." “I got married." I told him. It wasn't at all a lie.“That's interesting, to who?." I wondered if I should tell him. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I fell back into my chair, trying to sit more comfortably and I rubbed my hands against the hard wood table. All the other workers had gone and the cafe was a little busy. I looked around at all the people but never seeing their faces, just scanning them.“To Anderson, I got married to Anderson." I finally spat." You mean Anderson Cooper Andersons, my then roommate
There were just three rooms in the house. It was night time and I had started to feel sleepy. I thought about Ará, it was the first time I had thought about her since I woke up. I felt guilty for not thinking of her for long... But as I thought about it, I wondered why she wasn't the first person I thought of. “Darwinson, I think my mother has something to tell us, she hasn't said anything yet." Noa said. He was sitting across from me. I didn't even notice when he had entered the sitting room, formerly I was alone in the room. He was never scared to pass down his thoughts and I admired it about him.“I don't think there's anything to tell, Noa, the fact that we look alike is merely coincidence, questionable, but just coincidence. Nothing links me here and I'm sure your mother doesn't even know who the Fuck I am.“" I find it hard to believe that anything is merely coincidence Darwinson, formerly, Kai would stress about the topic to me and still I wouldn't believe him, but now, he
“It's actually the other way around."“What?."“The Anderson Cooper Andersons, that I knew very well, always knew when someone had a crush on him, even though a tiny crush, he would know. He was an expert in reading emotions and body languages, even if they were faint. “ I watched Asher's face, he thought about it for a long while before he said. “I thought I knew him, turns out that I didn't know him, I only thought I did." " Anderson is like that, a wolf in sheep's clothing, smart yet acts like he's naive. “" What happened after the both of you got married?. ““A lot of things happened."“Tell me, we have time."“We do, don't we?."“Yes, we do." Then I thought about it. Why would I tell him now when I could just postpone it. It would leave him no choice but to meet up with me another day, maybe there might be a chance that we would become fond of each other.“I would have told you now, but I don't feel comfortable spitting out the truth now, I'll leave it for another
“What I'm going to tell you might put you off, everything. But the truth is vital in starting up a relationship." I told Asher." You want that don't you, you want us to have a relationship. “ " Shamelessly I do. We're lying naked under this cover.“" And I still want you. “" Maybe you might not want me after I tell you my story. I pray you do. “" Bridgette, tell me, we'll see where we go from here. “ He told me brushing my arm with his fingers. I stared at the thin air and I tried to hold onto the memory of what happened after I and Anderson got married. After we were declared husband and wife. " Our wedding day was...Grand like we had planned. I called a bunch of my friends from school, my aunts and uncles and cousins that I had never even seen before had attended it, the friends I had lost contact with came just to see what an Andersons wedding would be like and they were not put off, all their mouths were held open through out the celebration. Only that Anderson only had
