– Don’t say anything, – I warned, – if the scenario proceeds like this, you will have to watch it alone at home.
I meant to sound sarcastic, but it went out sort of hurt and offended.
– You should write him, – Lizzy said, – it might be the destiny knocking on your door. You will never know, unless you make a step towards it.
– You can’t be serious, I hope you aren’t serious, because I shan’t do that. I mean, firstly, all this is just nonsense as I don’t even know the guy and I am too old for chasing movie stars, and, secondly, did you forget that there still is my life at Kevinsland?
– Your life at Kevinsland is not different from a lonely land, hon. He turns up when he needs you, to boost up his confidence and then leaves you empty when you require his attention most. You have me, of course, to get fixed and charged, but, see, as you have once said, one day some prince charming might steal me away, – Lizzy finished with a green.
I love how she can say something realistically bad and then put some star dust on top to keep you smiling.
There is a point in what she was saying of course. Kevin can’t really be the best partner, but wasn’t the two people to blame for the imperfect relationship? Maybe it was me who needed to change or to get a different perspective on our dating routines? Thats why self-development courses are always so profitable, aren’t they?
As if hearing my thoughts Lizzy proceeded.
– You know he is a narcissist don’t you? It might be hard to see it behind his blue-lagoon eyes, actually, it is not chasing stars that you are old for, but believing into something that is not there and letting yourself to be misled and used.
– You should have chosen psychology at the uni, – I sincerely utter, – would have bought us a luxurious mediterranean villa by now,
– No way, I would have died of all the unresolved problems people would shower me with, – she laughed.
– True. You take everything too close to your fragile heart, and that is why you really need a brave knight to protect you from this reality.
– And I think, – she prompted, – someone must take a step out of reality and learn that there is so much more to this world than just “hanging in”.
– I have forwarded you something via WhatsApp, take a look, please.
I grabbed my phone and opened her message to see the link to Matthew’s/Robert’s instagram account. No time to look at it though, cause we were already late for the cab! We take a quick glance around to check that our phone chargers are taken out and packed, and push the last snack packs into my suitcase. Almost running downstairs for the check out.
