Three

Almost 5 months passed since that day. Soon I would finish college and I had already met a very nice guy, Derek.

Derek was friends with one of my best friends, Patty. Lately we had been sharing a lot of time together.

Patty was a brunette with curly hair and big honey eyes, with a carefree look and a scandalous laugh. Melissa had a beautiful skin, blond hair to the waist and a huge love for science, we were the best friends, we knew each other since we were little. And about Derek ... Derek, he was very handsome and also very witty, we always had a good time together.

I will not deny that I forced myself not to think about him, and I succeeded most of the time, I tried not to see him in everything. Karen, her mother kept calling me constantly, we were good friends and that's why she avoided talking to me about her son. My friends always supported me and gave me a lot of love while the most difficult thing happened. Now the only important thing was to finish with the school and the graduation trip that we organized with Zack and Garret, their boyfriends.

Another two months passed and it was finally over, I was ready for the trip to Mexico. We would go to Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco. I was very excited and excited about the adventure that meant being able to do it with my two best friends ...

My dad knocked on my door:

Darling, this has come to you ...- He handed me an envelope, his gesture was doubtful, just like mine. -You don't have to open it if you do not want to.

-Oh ..- It was a letter from Eddie.

-You know? We can keep it until you come back from Mexico ...

-No daddy. It's okay ... thanks- I smiled.

-Ok, I'll be out there in case you need me- kissed me on the forehead.

I sat on the bed and with a little doubt I finally opened it ...

"My dear one:

You know, Belle?

It has been a long time and I still don't understand your decision, however, I think it has stopped hurting. I heard your message on the answering machine a couple of days ago ... you're right. And I will be, on the shore, waiting to touch your hand again.

According to my memory, you are concluding the uni in these days and I want to congratulate you, I am sure that from this moment there will be nothing more than all the success you deserve. Things around here are very good, I think you would feel proud of the most of them. I hope.

Life works in very strange ways, and everything is happening very fast, I hope you are enjoying yourself a lot and you still being the same angel, always. If you ever think about visiting Seattle, call me, I wrote my number behind the photo.

I'm finally getting used to the weather, it's not that bad. And well, the band is called Pearl Jam, do you remember the story?

Be happy, Isabelle. I love you forever.

Eddie "

I sat for several minutes, with the sheet in my hand ... what was that?

I lit a cigarette, some tears spilled from my eyes ... I put my hand in the envelope there were two more things. It was the picture of us, sitting on the sand, he was hugging me and we were both smiling, spilling love through his eyes. The other was a slightly wrinkled sheet, it was a song called "Black"

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

And all I taught her was everything I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything All the pictures have, all been washed in black Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear? And twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head I'm spinning,  I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away?

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures had, all been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All I'll be

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why can't it be mine?

"I thought in called it "Belle" but was kind of bad name, right?"- he added at end of the sheet.

Wow ... so this was...a song after years of relationship and it has to be just a song of heartbreak ... well done, Eddie. I dropped it on the floor.

The next morning I said goodbye to my dad and my dog, Luca. I took my suitcase and got into the taxi to the airport.

From the trip I can say that everything was perfect, even what I did not expect to happen at all.

While we shared a bonfire on the beach of the hotel, Patty and Mel had a romantic time with their partners, Derek and I smoked a cigarette and had a beer. Looking towards the sea, in the middle of a silence nothing uncomfortable, Derek spoke to me:

-Isabelle ... Belle, Chabela, as the mexicans say ...- he smiled

-Aw, right! It sounds funny ...- I smiled back

-Look, Belle ... I want you to know something, you're not obliged to answer, ok?

-Oh, how much mystery- smile- tell me

-I like you very much, it's very easy to feel good by your side and I don't know, I just wanted you to know ... I don't lose hope that one day you'll look at me.

-Derek ...- I smiled stupidly ...- and?

-And this ...- said approaching to give me a long and warm kiss. It was tender and I felt something that I never thought to feel again in my stomach, nerves and emotion.

We stared at each other for a moment, smiling with some complicity.

-You are really beautiful, Isabelle ...

-Thanks- I blushed.

We kissed again. Returning to the bongalow, everything looked like something out of a chick flick movie

We kissed a couple of times until we were dancing in the small livingroom of the place.

Soon looking at us, lowered a strap of my dress, I smiled ... and kissed him as a sign of approval. He lowered the other one while caressing my shoulder.

He kissed all my chest and I took him to the bed that was lit by a beautiful bright moon.

All the time I was surprised, I mean, I had never been with another man and honestly he had made me feel too many things. His lips were soft, sometimes strong and his hands seemed to want to crawl under my skin ... the night was incredibly romantic.

-What do you think? - Asked me while lighting a cigarette.

-Not much, I just look at you ...- I remained reclining on the pillow

-I want to try whatever you want us to be, Belle. After this I'll not able to stop thinking about you for a single moment. - He smiled with some malice.

-Derek, I ... I'll be honest. I was afraid to think about having something with someone again, I thought I would never be ready, but somehow, this also surprised me. You make me feel things that I never imagined feeling again and besides, I want to try it too, because I really like you...

-Are you serious?

-Yes - I smiled at seeing his huge smile.

-I want to make love to you again ...- he turned to me and everything happened again ... it was fantastic.

Two

 Morning light hited my face warmily. I opened slowly the eyes, Eddie was beside me, sleeping. I remember I thought: "I'm so fucking lucky" 

Couple minutes after, he opened the eyes, those blue oceans and stare directly at mine, again, my heart was happy: 

  -Good morning, angel- I loved his voice after waking up. 

-Hi, sweetheart! Are you ok? 

-Sure, was a fun night, huh? 

-Yeah, your new friends are actually very kind and funny... 

-Well, you like them, so I think was a cool first meeting, right? 

-Yeah! So what's next, what are we gonna do today?  

-I have a practice with the band, we'll testing some new stuff that Matt got for us 

-Can I go? 

-Sure, babe. But first, let's take a shower, we stink! 

-Ok, come on!- I got up from bed and opened my suitcase, need some clean clothes. 

-You're so gorgeous! Come here! Let's stay in bed a little more longer...-he graped my hips and pull me into his arms. 

-Ok, but, what's this?- I smiled after feel his boner. 

-It's because of this...- he touched my breast and my ass. 

-Babe... 

-Ask for it... 

-No... 

-Ask for it, Belle... 

-I want you right now inside of me...-I was so blushed. 

-Come here, my dear! 

 After taking a shower and have some breakfast, we went to his practice...All that talent, was amazing have been noticed it. 

The band was called "Mookie Blaylock", and they were too good. Matt was this kinda bandmanager.  They practiced really hard, almost 5 hours, trying over and over again, new chords, new lyrics, new bass...I mean, they were really into it. 

That week became amazing, Eddie showed to me a lot of cool and awesome places of the city, at same time he share the pictures and records that he made along four months. By the next friday, Mookie Baylock had a show in a really big rock music bar place. 

The guys gave a incredible show, the crowd were crazy about them! Honestly, they did their best and the fact was that I wasn't the only one who thought it. Everyone were talking about their performance, and were all cool things. 

Back to Stone's place and in the middle of a chat, this girl Sasha was drunk and kind of cheeky.  

She took me by the arm and asked me to speak alone. I agreed, without much encouragement to endure her drunkenness. 

-So, Isabelle, right? 

-Yes, Sasha. What happens? What do you want to talk to me about? 

-Well, I'm just very curious. I mean, Eddie talks about you in a very ... how can I say it? ... in a very different way, you know? You're like a mystery, but I see you and you don't look like that. You look very ordinary, don't get offended. 

-Oh thanks. I suppose. And what you need to be explain? 

-Okay. You have the right to be offended, although it was not my intention, Isabelle ... 

-Look, Sasha, I don't know what's wrong with you, you can't be nice with me since the moment you met me. I don't know what's going on ... let's cope with this situation. 

-Isabelle, I just want you to know that what I'm going to tell you is an act of bravery ...- she said and then made a strange grimace. 

-Of course, no problem.- I said a little confused. 

-I'm falling in love with Eddie ... we're roommates and it's not like we have anything, we're just friends, but I'm feeling things for him ... I'm not trying to get in the meddle of your relationship. Just, from girl to girl, you are very lucky. 

-Oh thanks... 

 -Babe! Here you are! - Eddie hugged me from behind. -Are you having fun? 

-Yep! - I hugged his arms. 

-So, Sash, how you doing, buddy? 

-Everything, Eddie. We just talked a little, girls stuff. - she took a big sip of her drink. 

-I interrupted something? - He kissed me on the cheek 

- Not at all, Edd.- Sasha was ahead to answer 

-You smell so good- Eddie said kissing my neck. 

-Honey! - I laughed a little uncomfortable at the presence of Sasha. 

-I'm sorry, it's just that I miss you so much already 

-Don't be exaggerated, it's still here- Sasha smiled genuinely. 

-Oh, if you knew how much I need her here. Her smile, her arms, her voice before sleeping ... never leave, Belle... 

-Ok, guys. See you later- she walks away. 

-So. What were you talking about?- he suddenly asked. 

-Well- I stopped- Did you like her? 

-Uhm, she's a nice girl. Sometimes she's a little quiet, but we're kind of friends now, she trust a lot on me...I don't know, I guess I like her, why? 

-Just, I was wondering how was your relation with her... 

-Are you jealous, baby?  

-No, at all. I have to admit that she's a very pretty girl. But, nothing more... 

-Ok...she's just a friend, babe. Besides, you're the most beautiful girl on earth- he kissed my nose. - And I will not cheating you yet, 'cause I'm not a rockstar already...I'm so poor to make something like that. 

-Aww- I laughed 

After two beautiful weeks in Seattle, I had to return to reality,  university and job.  

I didn't feel uneasy when I left, after all Eddie was fine and everything seemed to go well with the band, in two months they would have their first presentation, they still worked on the name of the band and on the songs of the first demo that they would promote in some bars in the city. 

At the airport we were joined by Stone (I had a good friendly chemistry with him), Mike, Liz and Sasha (with whom I couldn't speak because she always seemed indisposed) 

While we were driving there, Stone asked Eddie something: 

-So Eddie, do you plan to get married?I mean, with the wedding, the priest and all those stuff ... 

-Do you believe in marriage? - Mike asked. 

-Well, buddy. There is only one person in the entire universe with whom I could try that, the only one, that if she asked me to, I would renounce any belief I had. On the other hand, I don't know if I believe in traditional marriage, I believe in commitment and in celebrating it. - Eddie gently squeezed my hand and kissed my cheek. 

- Aww, come on, Edd! Why you have to be so perfect together! - Liz was so cute. 

-So, would you marry him? - Mike joked 

-With him I would go to the end of the world- I squeezed his arm with some gratitude. 

-How old are you, Isabelle? - Sasha suddenly asked 

-I'm 20- I answered kindly.- And you? 

-24, same as Eddie. In fact my birthday is two weeks before his. 

-Can celebrate together this year! - I smiled- true, honey? 

-Wait ... 20??? Eddie, did you make her your girlfriend at age 15?! I mean, you were 20!! - Stone was incredulous. 

-16! And I want to clear up that! I'm not a pervert, nothing happened with Belle until she was 18! 

-What !? - the others seemed not to believe him.  

Sasha looked at me with a strange strange gaze. 

-Guys, please! - Eddie laughed- when I met her I knew that she would be the woman who would steal my sleep all my life, and that's how it was. And I was lucky that she looked at me. And she deserved all the waiting and patience of the world. This beautiful woman who holds my hand and my back is the nicest and most beautiful spirit that has ever crossed my life. So those 2 years waiting were worth every second ...- he added looking at me with some tenderness. 

-I like you, guys- Mike said with a funny grimace on his face. 

I left Seattle with a huge smile on my face. My confidence in Eddie was still clear and definitely the time we spent together was valuable to both of us, we were able to fully enjoy it. 

It had been another two months since that time. I went back to stay for a weekend and everything went well, however, when I got back home, something strange began to happen in the next few days.  

The presentations of the band began, now with the name of "Mookie Blaylock", the favorite player of the boys. His repertoire was short 5 own songs and 2 covers. Apparently they were drawing public attention and Matt, his representative was moving fast in the flourishing industry of the area.  

Something was happening, I soon felt that the distance between Eddie and me was huge, when I needed him he was not, and deep inside I understood that the band demanded a lot of his time in those moments, I swear, I really understood it, but what I couldn't explain was the fact that he didn't have 10 minutes to call and hear from me. 

  Things in school and in the job were very difficult, also with dad's crisis. The girls tried to be with me, but come on! they also had a life ... 

I began to have doubts about ourselves, it was the first indicator that something was failing, and that was my fear. At night my head was filled with doubts and twisted thoughts. Is he with another girl? He loves me or he don't love me anymore? And if everything was a youthful fantasy? 

Why he has not called? 

  When we were talking on phone everything seemed fine, until the moment of hanging up, sometimes neither of us knew what to say, that was another alert that I knew how to face in time ... 

Days gone really hard and slow...my head was about to explote and my chest felt cold... 

He was living a stage of adventure and perhaps the most supportive thing that I could do for him was to give him the space to enjoy it to the fullest. 

I had been thinking for days about how to say it, how to speak it without looking like a crazy jealous, I knew it was not insecurity, it was letting him enjoy freely, I mean, doing everything he had to do without thinking about how it would affect me...was har to find words. 

 Finally my phone rang:  

 -Eddie! - I was happy to hear it.  

 -Belle! Hi! - He seemed a little discouraged.  

 -Hello, babe! How are you? How is everything? 

 -Well, I'm a little tired, you know ... But everything is going well, we are very excited. There are many talented people everywhere, but there is no competition, you know? It's more like a huge musical studio, with alcohol and drugs everywhere ...  

 -I can imagine, there are many young people. And you? Do you join those parties of uncontrolled alcohol and drugs?  

 - Not really, I just don't use hard drugs, you know that.  

 -I'm glad, honey. You're not a rockstar yet, you cannot waste the money on that way...- I laughed.  

 -Belle, what's wrong? Something in your voice is killing me... - he fired.  

 I felt a seething fear rising from my stomach to my chest.  

 -It's not easy, baby...  

 -Come on, Bellie, tell me...  

 -You know I love you, right?  

 -I know and I love you too, my love... now tell me what's wrong?  

 -Edd. I want to talk about something I thought... - I hesitated to say it. 

 -Tell me... 

 -Well, do you remember when you told me that a girl got naked in your bed, and those girls who wanted you? 

 -Yes, nothing important. Belle. Are you ok? 

 -Eddie, I think we need to give us a time. I mean, before something bad happens... you know? I have doubts at night and it is unfair to overshadow this fantastic moment in your life... 

 -What are you talking about, Isabelle? 

 -Eddie, maybe you need to live alone this moment. It's costing me a lot of effort to endure all this. I'm finishing with the uni and everything is very busy, the job, everything is complicated at home. I need you, but you're not here. You never pick the phone...think about it, I don't want to destroy what we have... 

  -You're feeling something for another man? - He interrupted abruptly. 

  -No! God, Edd! Don't say that, my dear. Just, maybe we should just have a little rest of all this madness ... 

  -Belle, I know this is not an excuse, but ... if sometimes I don't call you, it's because I'm really tired and I just want to rest and write ... please don't take it in the wrong way. I think you also understand that we must continue doing things in our personal space ... Honey, everything is happening very fast, but that doesn't mean that this care less to me, or that you stop being that person who gives meaning to everything, angel... . 

  -Eddie...did you hear me? Are you listening to me?- I couldn't contain the crying. 

  -Belle, dear ... please, forgive me ... I'm a fool. Don't make a decision for both. 

  -Eddie, don't get rid of the best we have, please, babe ... 

  -Darling, don't say that. Please, give me the opportunity to repair it ... 

  -Eddie, no. Listen, we need this. If we continue with this, we will hurt ourselves, honey. 

  -Are you leaving me, Belle? 

  -Eddie ... 

  -Are you leaving me, Isabelle? Tell me... 

  -Just lets take a break, there's a lot happening around us. 

  -Belle, please, sweetheart ... there's someone else, right? 

  -No, my love. Don't go with those twisted thoughts. 

  -So? I cannot understand what is happening! I did something... Belle, there's no sense in what you've told me ... 

  -Eddie, it's just a time ... if we don't stop we'll stumble. I am beginning to feel jealousy and doubts. You too! Open your eyes, please. If we don't take some time, we will destroy it. 

  -Are you talking about that guy in the office? Belle don't compare, he told you that he is in love with you and works with you, you eat together, daily! ... it's not the same, my dear... 

  -Can you see it now? Eddie... we need this. 

  -No... you need it. And you clearly don't need me to make a decision ... 

  -Eddie, please. Let's do this in the best way, the right way. 

  -What are we doing right, Belle? Throw you into the arms of another man? Honey, think about it... you're going to break my heart if you don't come back ... 

  -We'll be fine, you can always talk to me when you want, and we can talk about everything... you can have fun, Edd... live your moment. I will be here, forever, for you. 

  -I love you, Isabelle, but stop saying bullshit! Fun???  what kind of fun?  

 -I don't know babe, there's a lot of parties and girls and... 

 -Really, Belle?- he interrupted me with some anger. 

 -Eddie, don't be so rude withe me, I'm trying to think of both and the best for us, for this... 

 -Belle, I don't need that kind of fun with any other girl... don't need any space. But I will respect your decision ... 

  -Eddie, we love each other, right? 

  -I do, but I'm not sure about what that means to you now- He was hurt. 

  -Edd, I love you. So much. 

  -Belle ... goodbye- he hung up. 

  I called again, a lot of times. Eddie never picked up the phone again. 

I left a message on his answering machine: 

  "Eddie, I love you, I will always be there for you, no matter the time or the distance, my heart and my soul belongs to you. 

What I did was for both of us, you will see that time will prove it. Take care and keep reaping the success you deserve. 

 You are the love of my life, Edd. And I swear to you that we will hold our hands again in another moment of our lives. 

  I know it hurts, but it was not a goodbye, darling. 

Be a good boy and enjoy the days that run in your heart. "

One.

I used to live in San Diego, California. I practically lived there all my life. When I was 16 I met my boyfriend Edward, or Eddie as all people use to call him, even now. He was four years older than me but definetly he was my best friend.

We used to spend all day at beach, he loved surf and I tried my best for learn at least the basic  of that sport.  

After 4 years of a pacefully relationship, something big and new came up into our lifes...something for we wasn't ready to, at least not me...

Everything begun that amazing noon at beach, was saturday and I was talking about college, after 3 years working hard at it, I had the  chance for get some job at a music in a magazine. Eddie was kind of quiet, he he seemed kind of distance too...

-Hey, Eddie, are you listening to me?- I finally asked with some confusing smile on my face.

-Sure, babe. It's amazing, I mean it's an amazing opportunity...

-I guess, but the thing is that I'll need to finish the uni first. Annoys me!- I joked  

-Keep chill, babe...- he was too serious.

-Hey, Edd. Look at me. What's wrong, baby?  

-Nothing, I'm just kind of tired. Just that, don't worry Belle, keep talking to me about it...

-Nope. I know you, what's going on?

-It's just...remember when I told you about this band project with this guy on Seattle?

-Sure, keep going...

-Well, dear. It's just maybe I'll have to go over there in a couple weeks..but-

-Eddie! Thats awesome, my love!- I interrupted him

-Yeah, but...

-What?- I looked at him confused.

-Belle, I'll probably have to move to Seattle...

-Oh...Wow!- we stood on silence like for five minutes.

-Tell me something, Belle...

-Well, I think it's pretty amazing. I mean, it's what you want and I know how much you dream with this proyect...

-What about us? You know how much I love you. And I don't wanna leave without you

-Hey, don't put us on this...I mean, we can make it work...- I felt a cold air on my chest.

-Babe, it will take to you another year to finish the school...one entire year...

-I know. It sucks, right?

-I don't know what all this means, Belle...

-Me neither, Edd...- both were kind of sad.

After a long while without talking I tried to figured out that words

-You love me, Belle?- he suddenly spoke.

-I love you more than nothing, honey. Why you ask?- I smiled funny.

-Because I love you more than I love myself and I'm sure we can go through this together...

-Kiss me, please...- I felt his lips on mine, his breath and his touch holding my face.- I really love you, Eddie...

-I know and that makes me the luckiest man on the earth...and please don't cry, dear. We'll be ok, I'm sure about it...

After three weeks, the day that we drifted apart had arrived.

I took him to airport in my old yellow jeep, I promised myself not to cry. After all, we could make it, isn't?  

-Promise that you'll give me a call when you arrive Seattle- I keep holding his hand while we walked into the place.

-I promess, Belle. And you have to promise that you will takke care yourself like I do. Ok?

-Yes. I mean, it's not like if we'll never see us again.- I hugged him

-Take, read it when you're home- he gave me a red envelope- I love you, babe. I'll be back soon with cool news, hope so...

-I know you will. Nice flight! Call me. I miss you already!- we said goodbye...

When I came home, I opened the envelope. Where three paper sheets, written for both sides. I remember how clumsy I felt getting so excited with every word. Some parts put my heart out of my chest and some tears in my eyes, I was totally touched:

"Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, I look at you and you're sleep. I study your face, with all those perfect circles and I can't help feel the way I do. You're the best gift that life ever could give me, Belle. You came deep as any ocean, my heart beats next to yours"

"Thanks, angel, for being so persistent in my ways. Thanks for trust in me, and to care about me. This new adventure will means nothing without you..."  

"...in any other words, I belong to you, Isabelle, always and forever"

"This four years walking next to you seems just like a few days..."

I was totally in love of Eddie, now, for first time we have to be separated for more than one week, more than a month...I had no idea of how hard that would be...for both of us.

Next day, i received his call:

-Belle, hi, honey! How are you?- I loved hear his voice.

-Eddie, I miss you already! I'm cool, you know, school stuff and some paper work, but everythings it's fine. What about you? Tell me everything!- I was so excited.

-Well, I met this guy, Jeff. He's a pretty nice dude, you know. I like him. I'm staying at his place, with another band guy, Stone...

-Stone? What kind of name is that?- I laughed.

-I know, but he's pretty nice guy, too. I mean, I really like him, probably is too soon for say it, but I feel it, you know. Kind of this vibe, make me feel enthusiastic about this proyect.

-I'm glad to hear it! You'll see, Edd, everythig it's gonna be ok. You're so talent, sweetheart, you have to trust hard in you!

-Thanks, baby. I wish you could see all this snow, it's a madness. We're like at -14°, it's pretty cold out here. Remember when we were in Chicago that Christmas? Well, it's a really similar scene.

-Ow, soon! Take pictures for me, do a story for me, please! I miss them a lot!

-I will definetly do it, babe. I'm really excited, you know? It's like if suddenly everything worth it...I'm trying not to have this thought, but, you know? All those missing parts in my life, it's like the life were trying to put them on together. I mean, I made a bet on this and now it's all about me, about my capacity to do this better, to finally reach at some point myself...

-And I know you'll do it, Edd, just don't be so hard with you. You have to understand that sometimes things come so different of that we expected, but doesn't mean they're not good or positives...they're just differents, and you know it, just don't refuse it, babe, don't be such a stubborn.

-So, he listened the tape with Stone, they liked it. They were talking about a band with some other guys that are kind of orphans musicians- he laughed some- I hope meet them this week. Would be nice!

-Hahaha, orphans musicians! Don't ever do it again! Please! Bad joke!-I keep laughed- Cool, buddy! Go for it! Let it be, they gonna like you too!  And how's Jeff's place? You like it?

-Well, it's very ok. I mean, it's clean and safe, I would say perfect. But, you know? I'm thinking already about getting a job...

-Oh, ok...-I was speechless. -Doing what?

-I don't know, whatever. Just with enough time for music.

-Well, someone have to start the hunt inmediatly!

-Just for a little time, I want to have some cash just in case. It's not permanent, babe.

-I know, trust me, and you must get one soon. Need to feed and pay some rent, right?

-Yeah, Jeff said that he can wait until I settle down, then we can talk about money.

-What a nice dude, I'm happy for you, Edd! You're a lucky dude!

-I know...but let's keep on silence.- he laughed.

-Oh, and how it's there? The people? The streets?  

-Nothing to much special, just people wearing long john's and boots. Still blondes and a few brunettes- he laughed again, he was having some fun with my quiestions.- I'm joking, baby. Well, is just different, so different. another world. Many young people. A lot of bars and cigars...Cold and wet.

-You gonna used to it and I'm sure you're gonna love it too. I heard about night life over there, looks really funny and wild, on music topic, I mean.

-Why? I mean, why are you so good with me?

-Ow, Edd...don't say that. "More than friends", remember?

-I could never forget it. I want to make love to you right now!

-Eddie!- I laughed- Shh!!

-What!? I'm talking true

-Are you serious? Someone could be listening to you! Where are you?

-I'm in a phone booth, silly one!- he laughed- It's just in the corner of Jeff's place.

-Ok, ok. So, what you have in mind, huh?- I smiled blushed.

-Well, you know. I want to put my hand under your dress and feel your thighs and...

-And?

-You know, dear? It's not a good moment, someone it's waiting outside now- he laughed- and this boner...you know

-Ow, I wish you were home right  now!

-Soon, Belle, soon. I got to go now, but I'll call you tomorrow.

-Ok, Edd. Take care! I love you, sweetie!

-I love you too, baby. Be a good girl and think of me late night

-Ok! Call me! By-bye!

-Bye, babe!

Four months passed faster than I'd imagined. Finally I'll visit Eddie, got my ticket and enough time to spend out of college. The plan were on wheels. He moved to a new apartment with a guy called Michael and this guy was in the band too.

When I went down of the plane, he was there, with this amazing smile on his face and I felt my heart rasing.  

-Eddie!!- I jumped into his arms

-My love! I really missed you!- he kiss me passionalety

-I missed you too, babe! Look at you! So handsome!- I coulnd't stop to look at him

-You look more beautiful everyday! I such a lucky bastard!- we walked out of airport and took a cab.

Way to his place keep talking about everything, a happy and excited catching up. He told me that he already been meeting some new people and he like them. I was nervous to meet his new friends.

-Stay calm, babe. They're nice people!- he smiled with some tenderly.

-Do I look ok?

-You look beautiful, Belle. As always- he kissed my forehead.

-Thanks, baby! It's just I'm on shock! I'll finally met with your new world, and that make me nervous.

-Can't be my world if you aren't in there...

We arrived to a red building, was 9pm and was really cold and wet. Edd help with my baggage; he put 5th floor on elevator. I was a little more calm at that point. Out of the door with the number 517 he kissed soflty my lips and opened the door.

-Mike, we're here.- he put the suitcase on the floor and close the door behind me.- Come on, darling! Welcome

-Hey!- was a thin guy with long brown hair- Welcome! I'm Mike, nice to meet you, Isabelle! We were excited to know you- he shook my hand

-Oh, the pleasure it's mine!- I smiled- I'm happy to be here after son long without seeing Eddie. How he's doing?

-Well, he's a big boy. He can handdle by his self.- joked.

-I'm glad to hear it- I smiled

-So, Isabelle, are you too tired to hang out tonight?- Mike asked to me.

-Actually no, I'm in a really nice mood!- I smiled

-Are you sure, darling?- Eddie wanted to be sure

-I'm sure! Got something in mind?- I looked Mike

-Well, yeah. A welcome surprise! I'm gonna change this clothes, you can do the same, if you want. By the way, welcome to our crib!- he joked on his way to his bedroom.

-You want to change your clothes?- Eddie asked me.

-Yeah, gonna be quickly. Where I put that?- I pointed my suitcase

-Come here, let's go to my bedrooom- he lifted the big bag

-What a nice place, Eddie! I love it!- I said while I jumped on the bed

-You know what is nicest than this place?

-What?- I put off my coat.

-Having you finally in my bed- he smiled with some lust.

-Really?- I joined the game- Why?

-Yeah. I mean, look at this...- he aproached slowly, touching my waist.

-What I should look at?- smiled

-This amazing face and this amazing body...- he kissed my neck

-And what are you thinking now?

-That I want to throw away all this clothes...

-Go ahead, show me...

We kissed wildy, I missed his hands and his mouth over the me. He put off his clothes too...

-You can't imagine how much I've thinking lately in this moment, babe...

-A lot?

-More than you know, Belle...

We made love like savages, was fast but enough long for beating those cravings of four months without seein' him.

-Guys! I hate to interrupt to you, but it's time to go. You both come, right?- was Mike behind door.

-Sure, one sec, buddy- Eddie answered to him.

-See you downstairs. Hurry up!

We walked around five 6 blocks, Mike was such a nice guy, very funny and kind. Eddie was right. He was a sweet person.

We were outside of a building, seemed desolate. But the noise inside was definetly the noise of a huge party. We came in to!

Was so unreal, a lot of people having fun. We kept walking until Mike stopped.

-Look who's here dickheads!- Mike shouted.

-Mikey!- everyone responded inmediatly.- Eddie!- added few of them.

-Hey guys! She's Isabelle, Eddie's girlfriend- introduced me- Isabelle, the crew- started to pointed at same time of he told me their names- Stone- a long brown hair guy, with a white jean vest- Jeff- blonde guy with a cool and fun outfit- Dave- another long hair guy with a black jacket on-Liz- a curly hair blonde girl, very pretty- Sasha- another blonde girl with a big smile- Debbie- an asian girl with black long straight hair.- Oh! And here's Matt!

Everyone seemed nice, everyone came close to introduced themselfs personally, except one girl, Sasha.

We were a long while chating with the guys, Stone and Matt were really funny and Jeff has a little most clever sense of humor. Dave, by other side, seemed to be kind of busy with a redhead girl.

After a while, this curly blonde hair bacame to us holding a beer in her hand and a cigarrete with the other one.

-So you are Belle, it's really nice to meet you finally. Eddie talks a lot about you- Liz was a nice girl.

-Ow, that's sweet- I smiled looking at Edd.

-I must confess, you're even more beautiful in person than on photos. Look at you, guys! Cheers!

-Thanks, Liz. You're such a beautiful girl too, I really appreciate the gesture.  

-Liz make a lot of quiestions. You definetly gonna like her- Eddie joked.

-But he didn't aswer all. He's kind of too serious.

-Yeah, that's him- I smiled friendly.

-Hey, girls, come!- she invited Debbie and Sasha to join us  .

-Hey, dude! how you doing! Isabelle, are you drinking something already?- Debbie asked smiling.

-Hey, you can call me Belle, it's shortest- i smiled back- Yeah, actually just got a new one- I showed the beer can.

-Sweet! Are you having a good time with this maniac talking head?- she joked about Liz.

-Yeah, girls. Thanks for being so cool with Belle- Eddie said kissing my head.

-So...how long have you been togheter, Belle?- was Debbie.

-Well, 4 years, a little more than...

-And you really are waiting for him in San Diego?- Liz asked

-Well, he got to do what he got to do. I'm working on my own stuff over there...maybe we can met at some point in future. Who knows?- I tried to be nice.

-Ow, you're so perfect together...- Liz hugged both of us at same time, in a clumsy way.

-Sasha, come on! are you mad or somenthing?- Debbie joked.

-No, I'm just kind of bored...

-Come on, dude! Have some fun!- Eddie joked, holding my hand and dancing at same time the music chart changed.

We danced a long while, he was so happy and me too. Then music seemed to be off. His hands were around my waist, his blue eyes on me, and he whispered:

-I could stay right in this moment forever...

Then we kissed like if there were nobody around of us...
