Carlos

It was really getting late and I think we slept through the movie. I woke Max up and told him to move to my room. I was guessing that Dani is in his room already and asleep. I creeped back to my room, whilst holding Max's hand and pulling him to get to the room. I lay on the bed with him and switched off the lights.

-3pm-

I woke up hearing the alarm and I forgot that I had a test today that Dani told me to study while he was away. I wrote down on a piece of paper that to move the test in two more days, because I forgot to read. I hope he doesn't get angry at me. Lucky Max has the holiday's already. Lucky it's a private school. I got up and took a shower. While showering, I heard Max yawning. Thinking that he was looking for me, I got out and brushed my teeth, I peaked through the sliding doors and saw him looking at some books I left on my table in the closet. I dried my hair and still wearing the towel and looked for my clothes. I wanted to look grunge today, so I asked my Boyfriend.

"Max baby, can you help me again?", I asked using my little girl's voice, I shook my head twice to hear that wasn't I just said and yet he smiled and picked out my clothes. He took out a long-seelved shirt, the colors were dark blue and red, and some denim jeans, more of an 80's look I guessed. "Do you mind?", he asked nicely while pointing to the bathroom, I smirked and stepped aside. I put on the clothes and looked at the mirror. "Not bad", I said to myself and turned to the shoe area. I wanted grunge, so I took out converse. I put them on and turned to the table behind me. The books that I left on the table were my childhood pictures. I didn't want to put it in the living-room, because it was too risky and people might make a big deal out of it. I opened one of them and looked at my younger self. I was so joyful back then and now look at me, I got better. My ruined life in Jakarta was ruined and now my life is what I've always dreamt it would be like. Max came out and to see that he was already in his clothes and clean as a whistle. "Is that you?", he asked, "Yeah, that WAS me", I told him in a sarcastic tone.

"What? what's wrong?", he asked. "Nothing, I just don't like to see bad memories, the pictures gives too much flash backs", I said to him. He took my hand and closed the book.

"Let's go out", he said and held my hand.

We finally got out of the apartment, I was getting kind of hungry so he ordered a pizza, while I wait outside, reading my english lit. book.

"So a pretty maiden like yourself is sitting all alone?", a voice said behind me. I panicked and turned around slowly and looked up. "Carlos", I breathed.
