It was the same day and Miguel sad alone again. First he was afraid Tulio and Chel would see he had been crying, but when he came back to the camp they didn't seem to notice it. After that Miguel climbed in a tree to find a big apple for Altivo, just to say thank you for the comfort. Without the horse Miguel would go mad, so he had to show his gratitude.
But now he was alone again. Tulio was away with Altivo to hunt. Not that they ever caught something, but Tulio just kept on trying and kept believing that he would caught some meat someday. Chel was looking for some fruit so they had something to eat when Tulio messed up the hunt again. Miguel had to guardian the camp, but he was so deep in thought that he didn't saw Chel coming. Chel didn't even had to sneak and stood right behind Miguel. A little "Hi" was enough to make Miguel jumped up. Miguel turned around and watched Chel laughing at him.
"Your guys are so funny to scare. And so easy to scare." Miguel didn't care about it and sat down again. He just wasn't in the mood to smile.
Chel noticed it and stopped laughing immediately. She and Tulio noticed from the first day something was wrong with the guy. He didn't smile anymore and when he smiled it was a fake one. He also was silent all of the time and only spoke when you asked him something. And this very morning he had been crying. They both saw it, but decided not to say anything about it. But Chel maybe knew what was going on with the guy. Chel walked towards Miguel and sat down just before him.
"What's wrong with you, sweetheart," Chel asked and tried to look into his eyes.
"Nothing," Miguel lied and he knew that she knew it.
"Come on, just tell me," she said friendly. "I won't tell Tulio." She whispered the last part and Miguel looked at her. Could she possible knew he was in love with Tulio?
"You... you know...?" Miguel managed to ask.
"Of course I know," Chel said with a nice smile. "And it's nothing to be ashamed of. I totally understand." Miguel felt how he started to blush. It's nothing to be ashamed of? She didn't know what he was dreaming about when he dreamt about Tulio.
"And I know I'm attractive," Chel said after a while. Before Miguel could say anything she pressed her lips on his.
"Wait," Miguel said and pushed her back. "You don't understand."
"Oh, I do sweetheart," Chel said and kissed him again. "You're afraid you break Tulio's heart when you take me away from him. But don't worry, it's over between me and Tulio."
Miguel looked at her. He was confused and not only because of the kisses. Tulio and Chel broke up, that was just amazing news. Miguel started smiling bright, but then shook his head. He shouldn't think like that. Maybe Tulio felt bad about it and Miguel would do everything to make Tulio happy.
"Aha, so you like it that we broke up?" Chel said when she notice his bright smile.
"What... N-No," Miguel rushed himself to say, but the look in Chel eyes told him she looked right through him. "I try not to," Miguel said honestly. "I feel really sorry for you two."
"Don't be, honey," Chel said with a nice smile. "I don't have any problems with it. It was me who broke up with Tulio, so I'm just fine. But you shouldn't talk about it with Tulio. He just isn't really over it, you understand. Just act like you don't know about it. Alright?"
"Alright," Miguel said after a while. "But what if Tulio needs some comfort? I can help him."
"He has the horse," Chel said. "And you need some comfort too." After she had said that she bend over and kissed Miguel again.
'So Chel thinks I was in love with her all this time?' Miguel thought while they kissed. 'She broke Tulio's heart for me and now I'm kissing with her, while my heart belongs to him. Tulio, I know even though it's over with Chel now you will never love me the way I love you. But still I want you to know that you don't need to feel so lonely like I did. I love you, Tulio. I love you.'
Her hands crawled under his shirt and even though she was far smaller than Tulio, Miguel imagined that it was Tulio who kissed him. Miguel had all the time his eyes shut and dreamt about the dark blue eyes and his low voice. And after some time he started to believe it was Tulio.
