– What?! – I shouted back,
– An intro, the music, I know you are in love with it and would be very upset to have missed the first minutes.
– No, no, – I pretended not to hear a word, – the boyfriend part, I meant…
Lizzy turned fully on the sofa to face me. Of course, I couldn’t tell her about my little bout, still I felt that the Robert situation has taken a new turn and now deserved to be investigated.
– Haaa, so you decided to praise him with your attention finally? – Lizzy seated there in full glory with her lentil soup in a unicorn mug, – I have already talked to the stars about you two.
It sounded so surreal even for Lizzy that I stood there with my long green coat half still on me and half already touching the floor and the red knitted hat in my hand.
– Hey, just joking, Ally, – she proceeded worriedly, – you look as if you saw a ghost, Halloween is not there yet, honey. I just meant…do you remember my new exciting online hobby?
– Which one? – I asked in confusion.
– I knew you never listen to what I say, – Lizzy was about to turn the conversation somewhere else. And it definitely wasn’t the right time. So I brainstormed myself for her latest hobbies (those change every 4-to-10 days) and decided to have a lucky guess.
– Human design? – I proposed, looking like a guilty puppy.
– Wow, you do listen! – good, I kept her on the right track.
– Of course I do!! Now tell me all about it!
– About human design? – Lizzy asked in awe.
– No, no, about you talking to the stars and whatever else considering me and … Robert.
– Ohhhh, about thaaat! – she gained her powers back, – well, I used your birth dates, birth times and places to find out that you are … a perfect match! Like meant to be! Destiny! Stars! Fireworks!
And she began to jump ecstatically expressing the pure joy of fulfilling the God’s will.
I didn’t even bother to ask where she got Robert’s birth time. She is like a real private investigator at times!
Lizzy always loved all sorts of astrological readings and palmistry and lately that Human design thing. I am not a believer in such predictions, but the things she told me about my map and my type – the Manifestor, seemed pretty much true.
We had to postpone the rest of the Human design conversation till later, as both Chloe and Matthew came onto the screen and I, having left my outer clothing in the hall, joined Lizzy on the sofa to watch how Chloe was telling Matthew she hadn’t been ready for a serious relationship. Then the cameraman decided to award us with a close-up of Matthew’s/Robert’s face and those dark brown eyes I have so clearly seen this morning.
