Chapter 9

After Angelica finishes her shower, Arthur borrows a pair of pajamas he wore when he was younger. She wears Arthur's pajamas, he smells like Arthur.

-Now we look a lot like a couple wearing each other's clothes don't we? (Angelica)

Arthur upon hearing this looks directly into her eyes without saying anything. Angelica, realizing she was being stared at, was a little uncomfortable, but what she felt most was embarrassment for being watched closely by Arthur.

-What are you doing? (Angelica)

-Like this? (Arthur)

- Staring at me now without saying anything. (Angelica)

-Oh! I'm sorry I ended up thinking too much. Dinner is ready. (Arthur)

-Strange... (Angelica)

Angelica goes to the table where Logan and Arthur were sitting, it was full of different foods and they all looked delicious.

-Wow! So do you guys eat this every day at night? (Angelica)

-Not. My old man ended up getting carried away and doing more than usual just because you're here. (Arthur)

-But what do you have? After all, it's been a long time since we've had a visitor who stays for dinner with us. (Logan)

-I didn't need Mr. Logan. Make so much food just because of me. (Angelica)

-Please don't have to worry about it and eat as much as you want. Plus, you don't need to call me so formally, only Logan is fine. (Logan)

They started to eat, each food was impeccably delicious.

-Wow, you really are very good in the kitchen, I've never eaten anything this tasty before. (Angelica)

-You liked it? (Logan)

-Yes I loved it. Especially these baked potatoes, they're the best stuff I've eaten in years, I've never tasted anything this good before. (Angelica)

-Actually, who made these potatoes was Arthur. (Logan)

-Hehhhh. You mean my potatoes are the best things you've ever tasted? (Arthur)

-Actually I think I overestimated them too much, they're not even that good. (Angelica)

-So I think you won't want to eat the ones on your plate or the ones on the table. I'll take them out for you. (Arthur)

-NOOO... I mean, it would be very impolite to avoid eating something you were offered just because it doesn't taste good. That's why you don't need to take anything away. (Angelica)

-Don't worry, I don't really care about those ways, if you didn't like it I won't force you to eat. Let me take them out for you. (Arthur)

Angelica holds Arthur's hand preventing him from stealing the potatoes from his plate.

-You... you really are pretty nasty. (Angelica)

-I don't know what you're talking about? I'm just trying to help you. (Arthur)

-Hahahahahahahaha. (Logan)

-What's the fun daddy? (Arthur)

-It's nothing, please continue without caring about me. (Logan)

The two started to get embarrassed and walked away from each other.

The morning of the other day, Angelica says goodbye to Arthur and Logan and thanks them for letting her sleep at their house.

-Are you sure you want to leave? Could you stay until breakfast? (Logan)

-Actually, my parents must be a little worried about me, so I think I better leave as soon as possible. Thanks again for letting me sleep here yesterday. (Angelica)

-Do you want me to take you? (Arthur)

-No need to worry, I'll take a bus. (Angelica)

-I see... be careful. (Arthur)

-Hmmmm, what is this? Are you by any chance worried about me? (Angelica)

-Tskk! You really suck. Die then on your way home, I don't care one bit. (Arthur)

-Arthur! (Logan)

-Hahahahahahaha. Bye Bye. (Angelica)

-This girl... (Arthur)

Arthur looks at his father, he was staring at him with a face that was holding back laughter to not laugh at the situation.

-What was it? (Arthur)

-Nothing... you really get along very well. (Logan)

-You! Hahahahahahahaha. (Arthur)

-What was this? (Logan)

-I'm sorry, it must be my thing, I ended up thinking about something, I'm not even sure why I laughed about it. (Arthur)

-Do I need to take you to the doctor? Maybe it's some mental illness you developed. (Logan)

-Hey! (Arthur)

-Hahahahahahaha. I am joking. (Logan)

Arthur goes into the living room and turns on the television. "-This week there were several accusations against our senator, who was supposedly embezzling money..." (television)

-Arthur I'll prepare the coffee, will you want something different? (Logan)

-Not. Same old thing is great. (Arthur)

“-Latest news, we just learned about a terrorist attack inside the territory of our country. The person in charge who was holding back this attack decided that it would be better to divulge this information, as he apparently would need reinforcements to be able to stop them from causing further trouble. This is a message left by himself for all my brothers who are willing to unite with me, come help me to save our country. I know it's kind of desperate and terrifying to join me in this battle, I won't lie, your lives will be constantly in danger and you could die at any time, but if you have an ounce of determination please help me in this fight. Help me save the country and the people you love inside it’. That was the message left.” (TV)

Arthur turns off the television, at that moment he realizes by the reflection of the black screen that his father was behind him.

-Father... (Arthur)

-Arthur... I know what you're thinking. Please think about it again and reconsider. (Logan)

-I feel like I was destined to do this, for years I didn't know what I wanted to be, maybe I finally found it... (Arthur)

-DO NOT PLAY WITH ME! Found what you were born to do? Is that what you are thinking? Can't you see that you're just making me worry for a stupid reason? (Logan)

-Father, I'm going to join the army. (Arthur)

His father, who was already agitated when he heard this, starts to cry.

-Why... why do you always take risks without thinking? You were always like this... damn! (Logan)

-I'm sorry... (Arthur)

-Coffee is ready... I'll go to my room, please eat without me. (Logan)
