Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

The next day, Matt wakes me up with a message

Matt say: Hello my love. Let's see each other today, right?

Me: yes. I thought about what we can do, go play tennis, what do you think?

Matt: Yes, we can. Could it be the afternoon? I'll pass on Hebrew.

Me: no problem, about 15 hours, maybe?

Matt: Perfect.

I lie down for a few more hours, pray and start to get ready. I have lunch and watch the tennis championship. Until the time comes I say

Me: I'm ready.

Matt: Okay, I'm coming to pick you up.

I wait for Matt, he rings the intercom, I grab my bag and go downstairs,

Me: Hi love. All is well? -I give him a peck-

Matt: everything is great and with you? 

Me: Me too. How was it there?

Matt: Wow, amazing, I talked to the rabbis and they said they were amazed that I came to honor God. - he said laughing

I respond laughing: Really? Look, you see how important it is to honor God.

Matt: thanks to you

Me: All honor and glory to God.

Matt: I want to meet your parents

Me: okay we can see one day. 

Can I ask you something?

Matt: You and your questions.. HAHA

Me: hehe, so why did you break up with that girl?

Matt: oh, I was sick of the same spoiled preppy girls, switching to Caetano did me a lot of good.

Me: why?

Matt: Because I could see the other side of the coin.

Me: oh, yes. How cute

Matt: and of course, meeting you

I stroke his hair and look at the landscape, I play the song Moloko- the time is now in the car.

I look outside and see Mark being surrounded by three guys, and I scream

Me: MY GOD! STOP, STOP!

Matt gets scared and asks

Matt: what happened??? 

Me: look there - I point - Mark is surrounded 

Matt parks the car and goes out to help his ex-friend.

After that I call the police. The two start to fight with the guys, the guys get beaten up and run away.

Mark: Wow! Thanks brother, cry and hug your friend.

Matt: Nothing bro. Even though we don't agree with some things, you will always be my best friend.

Mark: Thanks bro, without you I couldn't have done it alone...

The two hug and walk towards the car, Mark sees me and is uncomfortable, but greets me.

Me: let's get out of here quickly, I called the police.

Matt races the car. Mark's belly growls, Matt and I look at each other and I say

Me: let's eat something

Matt, go to a restaurant, we sit down and order rice, beans, barbecue meat and salad.

Matt: Damn I haven't had this in a long time

Me: seriously?

Mark: He's Mr. Kosher. -he laughs-

Kosher are foods described in the Bible suitable for Jewish consumption.

Matt: wow this is really good..

Me: well, what do we do now?

Mark: I'm leaving, sorry to disturb you

Matt: it didn't hurt bro

Mark: I'll go, thanks for the help

Matt: we'll talk better later then...

Mark: No problem bro, bye

Matt: Bye

Me: Vish, it's already 6 pm, it's bad to play at night...

Matt: do you want to go home? There we do something

Me: hmm, that might be it.

We turned around and went back to Matt's penthouse.

Me: oh, I know what we're going to do.

Matt: what?

Me: Watch "Life is Beautiful" 

Matt: Oh, that's right hehe. Let's just go!

Matt takes me to the room where he watches movies and I'm impressed.

Me: damn it looks like a cinema.

Matt: that's the intention - of the laugh-

It's a 200-inch TV, coffee machine, popcorn, soft pillows. 

Me: where did you find this TV, I never imagined it could have one this size...

Matt: store specializing in electronics.

Matt: Where can I find this movie?

Me: on Stream, see if it's on Netflix, HBO or Disney. Now I don't remember...

He finds it and puts it in, prepares the sweet and salty popcorn, gets the soft drinks, picks up the things and sits down.

Matt: you can play hehe

Me: right.

I play.

Matt: he's funny, right? - he says laughing-

Me: ahem..

I look at him for half an hour, he looks serious, another half hour, crying and at the end smiling.

Matt: This movie.. is..- it crashes-

Me: what is it?

Matt: give me a kiss, AMAZING. I loved

I laugh. 

Me: I said, it's the best film ever created. Easily beat anyone by far.

Matt: man. impressive.

Me: and not just anyone realizes this greatness, they didn't see it. The film rescues a very harsh past, a cute romanticism and a humor with resilience.

Matt: Is it based on real events?

Me: worse I don't remember

Matt: fuck! worse than that.. Incredible. 

Me: Wow! 

And we watch movies all day. Until we slept in the armchairs.
