Chapter 5

—Hiii friend, how are you? —Ale greets me and gives me a hug— where were you? It was strange to me that you weren't at home.

We went into my room and sat on the bed.

"Ah ..." I didn't know whether to tell my friend what had happened, she always tends to make movies in her mind "I went out with Matt ..."

- Are you serious friend? Ale tells me very excited, "and what did they do?" Tell me tell me...

—Well, yesterday he went to pick me up after work, I thought he would just bring me, but when we got here, he got out of the car and told me that he would stay a while, we talked for a long time, Luisa fell asleep and I put her to bed. my bed, then we watched movies - the memory of Matthew came to me when he kissed me and I smiled, but I didn't want to say anything to my friend about that - and I fell asleep next to him on the couch and ...

"Wait Abby, you're not telling me something, what is it?"

"I'm not hiding anything from you" - I get serious so as not to say anything to him - we watched movies and fell asleep, that's why I prepared popcorn, that's what I hadn't told you, "I say with a smile.

—No, no, no, you're not going to come and cut me with that cardboard knife, that's not what you didn't tell me, come on Abby, I know you very well and I know you're lying to me.

—I'm not lying to you Ale, that was actually what happened ...

"Oh no friend, if you don't tell me the truth I'm going to get mad at you," my friend says with a pout and frowning.

"Okay, but promise me you're not going to go crazy and draw conclusions that aren't," I say resigned, I hate that he knew me so much.

"Okay, just tell me ...

"Well, when I went to get the remote control, I dropped it and Matt went to pick it up at the same time as me and ... Well ..."

- What what? Mind you, don't go around any more.

"He gave me a kiss, just that ..."

"I already knew," Dale tells me very excited, her eyes were shining and her eyebrows were batting, "and how did you feel?"

"Oh, friend, I don't want to talk about that," I got up and walked from one place to another. "I'm ashamed.

- Why are you going to be ashamed of my friend? It is normal that you like a boy.

- Like? I don't really know if I like it, I'm confused, it's the first time this has happened to me.

"Friend, I think she's in love," Ale tells me with a mischievous face, "it's about time."

- In love? I don't think so, well I don't know, I'll see later ... I don't want to get excited by myself, and besides, I don't know if she likes me.

"Oh Abby, if he kissed you, it was for something."

-That does not mean anything.

 "Oh friend, you can tell that you are new to this, so I will help you."

- Oh yeah? And how? Don't go crazy, please.

—Yes friend, you only trust me.

Monday arrived, Alejandra and I went to work, as usual Matt went to the restaurant and immediately Ale sent me to attend him.

"Hi Matthew, how are you?" I say with a smile.

"Hi Abby," she got up and gave me a kiss on the cheek, "I'm not really here for lunch today," she winks at me, "I'm here to make you an invitation."

- Oh yeah? Where?

—You see, in my family we have the custom that when we are all in the city, since many travel, we meet at my uncle Roberto's farm to do sports activities and things like that, this weekend we will do it, so I want to that you go and Alejandra can go too.

"Umm, if let me talk to Ale to see if she wants to go, she doesn't like sports very much."

—Ok, but you are going to go right?

"Ummm, well, yeah right," I say hesitantly, "I'd love it."

"Well then, I'll pick you up on Saturday at 6 in the morning, okay?"

"Yes, if it's okay, we'll see you on Saturday."

Matt left, I went to the kitchen and there was Alejandra, waiting for me to tell her what I had talked about with Matthew.

"And it seems he wanted to see you, right?" Since he didn't come to eat, "she tells me, moving her eyebrows up and down and with a smile, to which I roll my eyes.

—No, he came to invite us to his uncle's farm, they are going to have a sporting activity ...

- Did you invite us? I mean, you and me? You and I? He says, pointing at us over and over.

—Yes, at two o'clock, it's not a date or something like that so I can't invite you Ale.

- And sports? Not sports! you know that I am not given to do sports friend.

"Oh friend, don't be like that, it'll be fun, you're not going to let me go alone, are you?" I always support you in what you do, it's up to you to support me.

—Ok, ok, if I go, but only for you ok, besides you know that because of my condition I can't do sports.

—Yes, yes, of course, I just want you to go with me, Matt will pick us up on Saturday at 6 am.

- That?! So early?! You know that weekends are my days to get up late, how bad you are! I kind of changed my mind.

"No, no, no, there's no going back, you already told me you'll go."
