22. INSECURITIES

Ding, don.

Jeff went to open the door.

-Hi, hello Jeff-

-Charlie? I didn't know you were coming-

-I've been wanting to see you. Lately you've been hanging out with Alan all the time...remember? I'm your brother -

-What's the matter, do you miss me?- Jeff laughed.

-Sort of. I just wanted to spend some time with you- Charlie smiled.

The two sit down on the couch in the living room.

-Alan's not here?

-I don't know, he went out. He had to buy something to eat, I guess-

-Sooo...what about you two?

-What's that face, Charlie?-

-What face?-

-You want to know something, don't you?-

-Well, the other night at the club, you and Alan disappeared for a while and these days you're always together....what did I miss?

-What do you mean?!- Jeff snapped defensively.

-Come on, you can tell. Is there something or not between you two?-

Charlie was smiling. Jeff, on the other hand, was trying hard not to look at him in the face; he was blushing, and his brother knew very well why.

-There is nothing between us. We had just gone out that night to get some air-

-Just air? I wonder why I don't believe it....come on tell me. I'm your brother, I want to know- Charlie was pleading, leaning toward him.

-Okay...well....it's not like anything much happened....in short....there was only....-.

-What?-Charlie encouraged him excited by what he was about to hear.

-Just....just a kiss- Jeff said in one breath, turning to look the other way.

-A kiss?! Really?- Charlie screamed.

-Stop, don't scream!- Jeff tried to shut his mouth.

-Tell me more- Charlie insisted.

-No! Since when are you interested in such things?

-Since my little brother fell in love-

-I am not in love! Stop it!-

-Okay, whatever. Then it's just because I see you happy, and you can't deny that...- Charlie was as serious as ever.

-Yeah, maybe I'm a little happier than usual- he admitted with a smile.

-And after the kiss? Did anything else happen? -

-No. What should have happened?-Jeff pretended not to know what his brother was talking about.

-You know better than you pretend-

-It was just a kiss- He blushed.

-Okay. So... What do you think of Alan?-

-Well, he's nice... he's a good person...-

-Is that all? -Charlie raised an eyebrow.

-And he's good-looking too- He said in a low voice.

-Uhh, you like him, huh?-

-I don't know if I like him, but when I'm with him, I feel good, I feel happy...-
