Give it to me here! She said taking her phone back.
Let's go! Steve said.
No, I'm staying here. Go away if you want. Catherine told him.
She got up and Steve took her in his lap and put her on his shoulder.
Put me down, you crazy man!
You want to behave like a child, so I'll treat you like a child. Steve told her as she struggled in the attempt that he put her on the ground.
Steve took her all over the street.
Please put me down. She asked, embarrassed, because everyone was looking at them.
Steve stopped and put her down.
Let's get a cab. Catherine said.
No. We're going walking.
But we're staying at the top of the island. Catherine told him, not believing he wanted to walk.
I walked almost 1 hour looking for you. Now you're going walk with me. Let's go!
Catherine walked up the street with him. She came home very annoyed.
I hate this guy! Catherine told Julia, and then went to her room.
Julia was watching the sunset at the window.
Julia saw Steve coming shortly afterwards with a satisfied smile on his face.
I don't think it's hatred you're feeling, my daughter. Julia thought.
What happened, Steve? Julia asked.
Sorry to tell you, but your daughter is very spoiled. She ran away from me and made me search for her for almost one hour. What if something had happened to her? You'd say it was my fault.
You're right. I don't know why she's like this. This isn't my Catherine. Julia said.
At night, Julia went to dinner with her friends who lived on the island, but Catherine didn't want to go.
Catherine was in her bedroom and Steve was alone in the living room. He knocked on the door of her bedroom, and as she didn't answer, he opened the door.
Hey, I'm hungry and I'm going out to eat something. Do you want to go with me? Steve asked.
My feet are bruised. She said.
Steve came over and checked her feet and they were really bruised. He felt bad for having forced her to walk so much.
I apologize. I shouldn't have made you walk so much. But you have to agree that you weren't cool with me either.
I know. I also apologize. Catherine said.
Steve smiled.
Did I really hear you apologize? He asked.
She smiled too.
Get out of here before I regret it!
Okay, he said, leaving the bedroom.
Steve left and bought dinner for him and her.
When he returned, she was sitting outside the house, listening to the sound of the sea against the hillside.
He sat down beside her.
I brought your dinner. I hope you enjoy it. Steve said.
Thanks.
They ate in silence, contemplating the beautiful landscape under the moonlight.
Sometimes the noise of the sea is scary. Catherine said.
I've gotten used to the sea. The sea gave new directions to the hectic boat of my life. Steve said.
Catherine looked at him. He suddenly had a sad countenance. He also had a story, and perhaps there was no one to hear.
Thank you for dinner. Catherine said.
You're welcome. Steve replied.
Julia arrived from her friend's house with a girl Catherine met as a child.
Catherine, look who's here too! Julia said, smiling.
Beatrice? Catherine asked.
Catherine! I haven't seen you for a long time! She said.
Yes,It's true. Catherine said.
Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend? Beatrice said, referring to Steve.
Nice to meet you. I'm Steve.
I'm Beatrice. It's nice to meet you too.
They began to talk and Beatrice was flirting with Steve, making him embarrassed.
Steve stood up.
Catherine, if you need me, I'll be inside.
I'm going in, too. I'll see you tomorrow, Beatrice. Catherine said.
Steve, could you walk me home? Beatrice asked.
Steve looked at Catherine, who looked annoyed.
I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted. Steve said.
Beatrice was disappointed.
It's all right. There will be other opportunities. She said, leaving.
After Beatrice left, Catherine spoke to Steve.
She was flirting with you and you ignored her? I don't understand you. She's very beautiful. Catherine said.
I don't like easy girls. Maybe I prefer the difficult girls. Good night, Catherine.
