Chapter 42
We walked with other people. Then we suddenly stood in another line. We were going to check our bags when I saw him. Eric.
Eric and I were friends. But when we were 14 he moved to Australia. I saw him with his parents standing in front of us.
I knew that hair. Blond and thick. His body was more built up and he was taller. I had feelings for him. But he was a musician who didn't want a relationship with his best friend.
He turned around. And I smiled a large smile. He turned around. But he turned around again facing me. The line was so long.
" hi!! Alice, what are you- no I don't care! Glad that I am finally seeing you!!". He said it and gave me a hug. He lifted me from the floor. Then he dropped me back again.
" glad to see you Eric. I must say you are looking great, how are you?". I didn't care if James got jealous. Eric was a friend of mine, a really close friend.
" I am fine, but perfect now Alice, cause you are standing here". My heart melted, he was a romantic guy. Any girl would be lucky to have him.
" Eric, meet James". I said to him as I turned back to James. Who was looking a bit jealous, but he was trying to hide it.
" hi, I am her boyfriend by the way". He said it like he was angry with the thought of me and Eric this close.
" hello alice, nice to see you again". The line moved a bit, and Eric's mom knew me.
Me and Eric were friends. When I was 9 I met him and since then me and him were very close. We used to have movie nights and rep on the couch. Or we went to the beach or when our parents planned a vacation together we slept in the same hotel room.
I missed those days. We grew up together. When I was 14 I thought he wanted me as a girlfriend. But he told me the truth without hurting me.
" I want to focus on school and the guitar. I want you as a friend, a really close one". I was happy when he said that cause I never felt those strong feelings.
But he was standing in front of me and those feelings were coming back. He was so hot, those blue eyes and nice tanned skin.
" Alice? Let's go it's our turn soon". James said that and I stopped looking at Eric when he was checking his bag in front of us in line.
