Jack sighed, he wasn't happy at all, he had been planing this moment for months, he had waited for the perfect moment, and nothing was going as he expected it would.
That same morning when he woke up next to Martu, he smiled and told himself that was the perfect day to apply the so prepared plan. He caressed her cheek with love and woke her up with a soft, sweet kiss, she smiled but then took the blankets and covered herself from toes to top, it was still to early for her. But Jack was already anxious, so he got up and started walking around the room, doing nothing in particular, he ate a few m&ms and made himself a chocolatada, french chocolatada, because he liked it and that didnt make him less macho. About 40 minutes later Martu woke up and ran to him and climbed on his back.
"GOOD MORNING! NOW I'M FULL WITH ENERGY TO DO STUFF!!" she got down to the floor again "But first, breakfast"
They dressed up, took the camera with them and went out for a walk and breakfast at some Paris cafe. The croissant were delicious as usual, and Martu had a red fruit tea that was marvelous. They kept walking for a long time, they liked just walking and watching what surrounded them, taking pictures, sometimes really escrachos, but whatever nobody would see them. Mistake. Somebody would, but not now, many years from now. Jack uploaded some phone pictures to his facebook, the fangirls loved seeing pics of Martu and asked for them very often.
"Shit, it's hot" said Jack
"What did you expected.. it's summer butterfly" joked Martu.
Suddenly, Jack's phone started ringing.
"Who is it?" asked Martu, but Jack didn't answer her, he picked up, separated from Martu and started talking. About 20 minutes later, he was back.
"You sure made me wait" said Martu a little angry
"Sorry" answered Jack in a little cold way
"What's up with you now, did you get blue?" said Martu and started tickling him trying to cheer him up
"Please, not now" said Jack
"Oh come on. What's so terrible? Who was that?"
"Lauren" Martu sighed, she truly hated that fucking bitch, but didn't said it out loud, it wouldn't be proper, at least she thought it wouldn't.
"What did she wanted now?"
"Hey, easy she is Archie's mother after all" Martu didn't like this comment at all, she was trying to get angry, but she tried to be patient and kept quite listening to what Jack had to say "she started.. wel, basically.. she said a lot about you, she.. err.. she doesn't like you very much"
"I don't like her either"
"She complained about, well she said we've been here too long, that she doesn't want to take care of Archie, that she wants free time, that you want to get rid of Archie blah, blah"
"WHAT!?" Martu exploded, that was it, she could tolerate that she said those stuff about her and much less about little Archs, poor sweet child.
"Oh so you defend her now?! You agree with her!? What the fuck, pelotudos los dos!!" she shouted, she was so angry she didn't want to speak in a language that wasn't her own. She turned around and started walking, who knows where, maybe back to the hotel, or maybe not. Jack tried to take her hand and follow her "Don't you dare, leave me alone". And so Jack was left alone, confused and sad in the middle of Paris, he was pretty much shocked and he didn't know what to do, the day that was supposed to be perfect, was becoming a pile of horse shit. After a while of thinking he got up and started looking for her girlfriend, maybe like he had thought a while a go, she had come back to the hotel, and so he came back to the hotel to look for her, but when he asked if they had seen her all he got was a negative answer, she hadn't come back to the hotel, he was begining to get worried, she was alone in the streets of an unknown country, and the worst of all, she was really pissed off, and he couldn't stand that. He started thinking and thinking where could she be. And then he remembered, when a few days ago they were in a bridge watching the water scroll slowly, with the sunset light reflecting on it, he remembered when Martu said
"Good place to think" simple, spontaneous words that at the moment didn't mean something actually important, but now they were the key to find where Martu was, finally. He took a cab and went to the exact same place where he had been with her a few days ago, with all wonderful feelings inside his heart, now it was different he was nervous, sad and somehow just a little angry, but he wasnted to change that and so he did. He saw Martu's back watching the susnset, just like the other day, he came next to her.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" Martu looked at him but said nothing "I didn't mean to offend you, it's just, I feel like I have to defend her sometimes, you know, it's a complicated situation.. I feel guilty" Martu couldn't take it anymore, she grabbed his face between her hands and kissed him
"I'm sorry too, I should have been more tolerant at the moment, but when I heard all those terrible stuff she said I just.. exploded? Yeah, exploded" she hugged him "Don't worry, you have nothing to feel guilty about, she does, but all that we have to care about is little Archie, we have to take care of him. And I think you are doing a wonderful job.. And well, I don't actually like her very much, but I believe that she is not such a terrible mother, she is just an asshole" they both laughed and took a deep breath, the turned to watch the sunset again, the came back to the hotel walking holding each other's hand.
That night they had a great night, they had room service, because it's the best fucking thing ever, and its full of wonder and happiness, GOD BLESS IT. And when they decided to go asleep, when they were already in their pajamas in bed Jack whispered
"There is something I've been meaning to tell you"
"What is it silly british?" said Martu while she caressed his hand
"I hope it is the best moment to tell you, but, do you.. have you consider.. shit.. oh well, wouldyoulikemovingoutwithme?"
"I didn't understand a word of what you just said, not even a word" Jack laughed
"I said: would you like moving out with me" Martu opened her eyes, she sighed and then laughed
"Well yes, mate" she said, and againg kissed him.
