Hotel California

‘‘Hand me the pop corn’’
‘‘Here’’
‘‘So… when are you and Tom getting together again’’
‘‘I don’t know Monday after school I guess, how are you and Greta whore going?’’
‘‘Well not so good, she only wants to talk about French couture and I insist that there is more to France than just clothes’’
‘‘She is a cheerleader’’ I said taking some popcorn to my mouth ‘‘She can only think of clothes and boys.’’
‘‘Don’t you think about boys?’’
‘‘No, well yeah… but they’re not the center of my universe.’’
‘‘And what boys do you think about?’’ Asked Mikey smiling and drinking from his glass.
‘‘Don’t do that mikes, its like I asked about what girls you fantasized with… ZERO so it wouldn’t be fair.’’
‘‘You think I don’t fantasize about girls??? Of course I do!’’
‘‘Eww Mikey don’t break my heart!’’ I said laughing ‘‘I thought you were a sweet innocent kid… now you’re just sweet.’’ We both laughed and he said.
‘‘I'm not a kid.’’
‘‘Yes, you are’’ We started joking… ‘‘To me you are just that cute six year old kid I met in first grade.’’
‘‘Awww you are so sweet Alex, I love you too’’ We kept watching the movie we had chosen hours ago.

Because you know choosing movies was not our best gift, we loved horror movies that we always watched and got scared shitless after doing so. And it had starting raining… and it wasn’t just a little rain… it was a full blown torment!!!

And it made the movie 3 times scarier.

‘‘Can I stay here?’’ I asked a little nervous.
‘‘Huh?’’
‘‘If I can stay here to sleep? I’m too scared to go home.’’
‘‘It was just a movie Alex’’
‘‘It’s not just that… I get scared when it rains like that.’’
‘‘I thought you where scared of earthquakes But I don’t think my parents have any inconvenient with you staying… just call your mom.’’

I took out my cell phone and I dialed my house’s number and because it had been a while since me and Mikey had stayed at each others house to sleep my mom was a little surprised when I asked her.
‘‘You want to sleep at Michael’s house?’’
‘‘Mikey mom… Mikey and yes I’m scared to go home’’
‘‘God Alexandra, you are too big for this kind of things.’’
‘‘I know, but that doesn’t make me feel any better… so can I stay?’’
‘‘What did his parents say?’’
‘‘That it was okay’’
‘‘I’ll pick you up in the morning.’’
‘‘Okay thanks bye’’
‘‘Goodbye Alexandra’’

I hung up and I turned to look at Mikey with a big smile on my face.
‘‘This is going to be fun!’’ I said with the best gangster face that I could muster.
‘‘I know… another gory movie?’’
‘‘Yup’’

Okay I know, being scared was fun… sometimes, so Mikey and me never got tired of watching scary movies.
The little ‘rain’ stopped at midnight of so… I could hear it cause I couldn’t sleep yet. It was really strange like I was nervous of sleeping in the same room as Mikey. He was sleeping next to me on the floor so I could have his bed. In a moment of sheer curiosity I looked down and I saw him illuminated by the moon light that escaped from his windows. He looked so… cute without his glasses and his eyes closed, he looked really peaceful.

‘‘Are you asleep?’’
‘‘No’’
‘‘What are you doing up so late?’’
‘‘I could ask the same thing you know’’
‘‘I don’t know I just can’t sleep, you?’’
‘‘Same’’ he stretched his hand and turned on the lamp beside his bed, then he looked for his glasses and put them on again.
‘‘You look good without the glasses’’
‘‘Really? I can’t see shit without them’’
‘‘Buy some contact ones’’
‘‘I wouldn’t get used to them, I have always used this ones’’
‘‘What would I look like with reading glasses?’’ I asked a little curious. ‘‘I think I would look smart’’ We laughed at my stupid commentary.
‘‘You look good now, if you used glasses I wouldn’t be able to see your beautiful blue eyes.’’
‘‘You think my eyes are beautiful?’’
‘‘Here we go again!!!… Yes your eyes are really pretty and so are you.’’
I started to blush I could feel it, so I tried to hide my face.
‘‘You’re blushing’’ Said Mikey smiling. ‘‘I think I found your weak spot’’
‘‘Which one?’’
‘‘Telling you how pretty you are’
I blushed furiously again but now I smiled and jump down on him tickling his sides, I knew his weak spot too you know.

‘‘No… Alex no!!!’’
I kept tickling him, until we where both on the floor laughing our asses off.
‘‘Sometimes I feel like we are still little kids.’’
‘‘Never forget your inner child Michael’’
‘‘And don’t forget your baby Alex that lives inside you’’

I know, bad joke but hey it takes a fly on the wall to make me laugh.

We kept talking until I don’t know which one of us fell asleep.
