CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - happy for you

╰─..★.──────────────╯

"Hey, honey" my sister said when she picked me up from the airport. "Hi." I said and gave her a quick hug. "How was Paris?" "I have a boyfriend!" "Seriously?" "Seriously!" "I'm so happy for you" "I'm so happy. I mean he is so perfect" "Perfect?" "You know he carries my bag without asking, we have a lot of great and long conversations, he knows me like extremely well, he's really romantic and just so much more" "it's so sweet how you talk about him"

"Cardio?" Jamal asked after training. "No I can't. I have to pick up my friends from the airport." "Hector?" "No, I wish. Just two of my actual friends" "Mh I see. I did also see your post. What does novio mean?" "Boyfriend" "Wait, is he your boyfriend now?" "Finally and officially, yes." He held out his hand for a high five. I looked at him with an annoyed look on my face. "Oh come on. Don't leave me hanging" I rolled my eyes before high-fiving him.

"Elisa!" "Oh hello, my girls" I said when Margot and Mariana hugged me. "Mari congratulations for the title and also congratulations for the doubles title for you both" "Thank you!" They both said in union. "oh my god. It has been ages since I've been to Munich" "Well you do have to visit me more" "You could visit us more too" "Well, Mari, I was in London just over a month ago and you weren't there" "Alright. Fair point" "Plus you know when I do have my days off, I have a boyfriend to visit" "A what?" "Boyfriend?" They both yelled excitedly over each other. "Yes, boyfriend" I said smiling. "Who is he?" "What does he do?" "A childhood friend and athlete" "What kind?" "Football" "Uh!" "club?" "Barcelona" "Oh they only have handsome players" "Mari! They are all my friends." "And one your boyfriend" "Which one is it?" "Hector. He's just so handsome if I say so myself" "Picture please!" Margot said and I showed them his insta. "Damn girl" "Your children will be beautiful" "Amen to that" "How long has he been your boyfriend?" "Officially? only a few hours" "How long have you two been a thing?" "like a month" "how haven't we heard about him before?" "neither of you have ever asked" "That is so not how it works"

I was hanging out with Margot and Mari in my room. I love hanging out with them. They're so vivid all the time and it's just overall fun. They grew up so differently and are so different, yet somehow so similar almost the same.

"Who are you texting?" "My boyfriend" "Okay let us see?" "Why?" "Because we don't know him" "And then we can get a sense of him as a person" "This is me texting my boyfriend" "Are you two sexting?" "no" "Then I don't see the problem" "me neither" "You two are annoying"

────────────────

"oh come on!" "No this is weird. You two watching over my shoulder. Not doing that." "then how are we supposed to get to know him?" "You'll meet him sooner or later" "Uh how?" "He doesn't live here" "And we don't see you a lot as it is" "We'll find a way"

"Hey, babe" "Hi, how was class?" he said and you could hear his smile over the phone. "It was good. Tell me about your day" "Well I just ate with my parents, earlier I was at training. I didn't do a lot today." "Really?" "Yeah just my day can't get better anyway if I woke up next to you" I smiled from ear to ear. "Elisa, when I tell you these kind of things, I expect a response" "Sorry, babe. Just too busy smiling" "Now that's a response I can deal with"

Hey babes

sorry but I can't come to lab

today

I have an appointment and

forgot to tell you

────────────────

reply to Paula👩🏼‍🔬❤️

it's alright

────────────────

"Ugh, shit" "What's wrong?" "Oh it's just my lab partner can't come today, so I have to probably do the work alone" "oh. How bad is that?" "not extremely, but it's easier when there's two brains and four hands working together" "Yeah, makes sense."

"Hey professor. Paula isn't going to be in lab today and I'm just supposed to let you know" "Alright. Amine's partner is out today as well, so just work with him" "Alright" okay that won't be slightly awkward. "Hey" "Hi?" "Professor wants us to work together" "Seriously? Paula left you on your own too?" "Yep" It was really awkward when we started working together. "So what do you think?" "The experiment is working. Not like at any other table." "Shit, that means we make a good team, doesn't it?" he asked. "Apparently. Oh god this is so awkward" "It is. Doesn't have to be though" I sighed, "How?" "Look our break up which wasn't really a break up, was amicable and it's been a long time" "It has" "I've moved on and you probably have as well. Though apparently you didn't have to as you were already seeing someone" he said joking. "I wasn't seeing him" "Mh sure?" "Yes. I'm serious! I barely even liked him then" "Then? Tell me more" "Why are we even talking about this?" "Because it's fun. For me at least" "This is just- nope" "oh come on. You dumped me. I get to know about your love life" "That is so not how it works" "No pretty sure it is. He was like portuguese or something, right?" "Spanish" "Right! Old friend from spain. How is the old friend from spain?" "Good" "Do you still like him?" "You seriously want to know all this?" "yes. Please tell me" "I think I'm falling in love with him" he smiled like he was happy for me, "why are you smiling?" "He likes you?" "He's my boyfriend, I really hope so." "I'm happy for you" "Seriously?" "yeah." "I don't think that's how it normally is, but okay" "Well it would be really shit if you dumped me for someone and didn't end up with him. This way, I'm happy you found someone who you like and really want to be with" "Thanks, Amine"
