°° RAMI'S PVO °°
She walked across the terrace, lifting her face to the cold wind and watching the starry sky above us. God, Lucy was so young. I tried to think about where I was at twenty-four and I could not remember exactly, maybe looking for a job as an actor while working on some mediocre part-time job but there she was, so talented and working in the business from an early age, facing the difficulties in a much more mature way than I could ever do. However, fear lodged in my chest and if I asked her to live with me and she said no? And if I scared her? Because despite all the above, she was young.
- What's happening through that pretty little mind? - She told me with amusement, standing in front of me about two meters away. The gentle breeze swinging her hair
- Nothing - I tried to compose a smile
She returned me an eloquent look while raising one of her eyebrows
- Ptss, ptss - I heard from some point
God! that is not what I'm thinking. I searched with my eyes and in a dark corner, near the entrance of that terrace I managed to visualize Ben, Joe and Gwil. I can't believe it...
-What are you waiting for? - Gwil whispered when I approached with dissimulation
I shook my head, while Lucy walked on the terrace to end up leaning on the railing
- I don't think it's the right time - I said from my heart, even though it was just my fear talking
-Are you joking?! - Ben jumped
- Shhhh! - I exclaimed taking a look at Lucy who was still there
- You can't back out now - Gwil said vehemently
- Get some balls and tell her you want to move with her! - Joe pushed my shoulder
- I can hear you all whispering back there, you know?
Lucy's voice interrupted us and I stayed on ice like the boys, she had heard everything?
- You understood what we were talking about? - Gwil asked cautiously
- No - Lucy came to us - But I could hear your whispers - she mocked of us
- Rami wants to ask you something! - Joe pushed me in the back making me take a couple of steps forward
- What? No - I shied like a chicken
- And you just have to say yes, Lucy! - added Ben
Oh no, the boys could not be doing it
- Take away the suffering of this man - Gwil added in a tragic tone
Lucy watched us with amusement and confusion, as if we were some kind of Puzzle, at what moment had I allowed these crazy people to become my best friends?
- Rami, close the deal for God's sake - Ben sighed in exasperation
I watched Lucy standing there in the middle of the terrace, her head tilted with a bit of curiosity as she watched our friends. Her eyes looked greener than ever and moved from the guys to me
- And what is that you want to ask me? - Her voice sounded sweet
- I? - I said hesitantly
- Just do it, Rami Said Malek! - Joe called me out
- We even rehearsed the BAB dance and everything! - Ben shouted
I licked my lips trying to find the strength, why were this so scary?
- I was wondering if.... You want.... - I ran my hands through my hair
- Prepare your positions, BAB dance is coming - I listen to them whisper
- ... if you want to go with me to Africa after the filming
- Africa?
-What?
- Rami!
- I just received an invitation from the INSPI(RED) foundation to help in their fight against AIDS there - I hastened to say, Rami Malek you are a fucking coward
I gave a pleading look to the boys so they would not say anything, this was definitely not the moment
- And you want me to go with you? - Lucy looked confused but tried to hide it behind a smile as if she had been waiting for a proposal something different
- Yes - I said shrugging, keep your role Malek - We could even go on a real safari
- Oh - Lucy raised her eyebrows - That would be wonderful - she finish saying with a small smile of illusion
Well done! It seemed that I had escaped intact from my act of cowardice
- Attack! - I listened to the guys so that from nowhere they all came over me to start hitting me, not serious blows but strong enough to make it clear that I had been a fucking coward
- Boys! - Listen to Lucy's voice amused and alarmed
Okay, maybe I deserved it
- Guys, enough you are bothering the baby! - Lucy exclaimed, the boys stopped immediately at the voice of Lucy observing her as statues.
I knew Lucy enough to know that the serious face she was wearing would be followed by some kind of joke
- What baby?! - exclaimed the three guys at the time, Lucy looked at them in the most serious gesture and then she broke in laughter
- Me, obviously!
- THAT WAS MEAN! - Ben cried out and went to Lucy to tried to tickled her. She just ran away hiding behind my back and laughing hysterically.
- BAB dance for nothing... - Joe whispered in my ear.
Wait, they were seriously mad at me?!
