With his eyes red and the tears still rolling down his face mixed with the drops of rain, he looked at me with a small smile and took a deep breath "Let's go" he said walking away from his sister tombstone.
"Where are you going?" I asked confused
"I am celebrating this day correctly" he saidfrom a few steps away I hurried to him while placing the umbrella over him.
"You can take it " he said looking at the umbrella
"You are soaked in water you'll catch a cold" I informed
"Yeah and you?" he asked, then I realized that I was only covering him up while the rain fell onto my hair. "I don't get sick easily, take the umbrella" he said pushing my hand that held the umbrella
"I don't get sick either" I exclaimed forcing my hand into his way so I could cover him
He rolled his eyes while giving a loud sigh "you're so stubborn" . As the words rolled out of his mouth he took the umbrella off my hand and with his other hand he held my hand pushing me towards his chest.
This happened all so quickly that I couldn't have time to react, he took his hand over my back grabbing onto my shoulder so we were both under the umbrella.
His actions made my stomach hurt and my mind get all blurry, was this a side effect of the whiskey? Although he doesn't seem drunk, and I have seen him drunk.
By the time I thought and rethought about his actions and how close we were, and how he looked so careless of our closeness...he called my attention informing me we were near his car "take this" he said while leaning the umbrella towards me, I grabbed it unconsciously while watching him strolling in the to the other side of the car.
I got in the car still a bit taken back by everything "Where are we going?"
"Celebrating this day like supposed to"
"Shouldn't I drive?" I questioned remembering the bottle of whiskey he held a few minutes ago
"No"
"Are you sure? You were just drinking a few minutes ago" I insisted
"I said no, Eleonora " he commented with a sigh
"Don't sigh at me" I commented with a pout
" Stop being frustrating. I want to eat in peace and celebrate like I should've all this years. Can you do that?" He asked while driving
"Of course I can, what am I? 5?"
He throw off a small chuckle leaving me confused. He drove for good 15 minutes due to the NYC traffic, we stopped in a restaurant near by.
As Blaze parked the car I realized where we were.
"No way in hell I am getting in there" I informed
"Why?"
"Why are we here?" I asked while trying to deviate the look from the restaurant
"It was my sister's favorite restaurant"
"I am not getting in there"
"Are you embarrassed of going to a kids restaurant ?" he chuckled " I didn't thought you were of those "
"Of those?" I questioned making him nod " I am not embarrassed its just..." I said while bitting my lip trying to gather the courage to speak the truth
"If you're not comfortable with it, we can just leave" he said
"I was always a bit scared of the dummies of chuck e' cheese" I whispered almost to myself making a huge laugh came out of his mouth
