- Hello Aly- Wrote Sir Anthropologist- ¿How are you today, my little cloud?
- A little boring… ¿And you?
Samuel smiled. During the week after the party, after the abusive fat and her panic attack, both stoped by him, Aliza had added concern for him. And he loved even more the fact that she asked how he was.
- Also a little boring. But talking to you will remove all my boredom.
- Hehe.
"Hehe" Four letters did he look at the screen as if it were a declaration of love.
- Aly, cute ¿You like video games?- He asked for curiosity.
- Yes.
- ¿Seriously?
- Yes. ¿Why do you ask?
- Because today I was going to buy a console, you know, to train and beat Elena. If you come with me, I can buy a game you recommend to me and compete a little with you ¿What do you say?
- I do not know…
- ¿What if after buying it I invite you to look at buildings?
- ¿As which? The Cathedral of San Luis I already know it.
- As the Van Benthuysen-Elms Mansion, the Magnolia Mansion and the Garden District... ¿Do you know them?
He knew the obvious answer. They were colonial buildings, architecturally beautiful and ancient, it was obvious she knew them.
- Yes- She wrote- But just for photos. I've never been to see them.
- If you come with me today, I'll take. You can see them face to face, and with me. Say yes… ¿Please?
- You're too pushy.
- I know. I love you.
A moment of pause was established. She was thinking.
- ¿You know I do that because I like to help you?- He Rewrote- And because I love to see how slowly you're improving yourself.
- Yes, Sam, Yes... we'll go... Just stop being so lapdog.
- I'm not a lapdog, I only love you.
- If I recover social skills every time you told me that, now I could lead a continent.
- You're welcome.
After going to look for her, both went to the store, where, although Amily was not comfortable, at least she did not have to interact with anyone. She only stayed away, leaving him quietly buy the console, while she watching a shelf full of video games.
Shortly after Samuel approached her, standing next.
- ¿And? ¿What do you suggest?- He asked.
- Depends you're looking for.
- Something funny… Come on, you tell me. I will buy more anyway.
- You told me you liked motorcycles... So- She took one- This.
He watched the game, one about races, with all kinds of vehicles.
- ¿Do you like racing?- He smiled.
- In virtual... Yes. Do not you dare accelerate too much with me in the car, because I do not speak to you again.
Samuel laugh loud. He had thought to do exactly that.
- ¿You were thinking of doing?- She looked at him.
- I can not lie- He laugh, closing his eyes- Yeah, totally.
- Moron- She elbowed him, slightly.
- Come on- He hit her delicately with the game- ¿What else?
- I dont know- She tried to ignore him.
- Aly- He pushed her slowly- I will not leave you alone until you choose two more.
- ¿Two? Ajjj...- She looked at the shelf.
- You also are going to play.
- Well, you like to think too- She thought, taking another- This is true to his style, I do not know if you could play the original, years ago.
- ¿Carmen Sandiego?- Was surprised- ¡Oh my God! ¡I had forgotten that this game existed! ¡By heaven I will have stolen coins to play it!
- Sutil. It is the new version. Quite new.
- You are a genious ¿You know?- He looked at her, so in love- ¿You know?
- I have problems in the field of socialization, in terms of IQ, i'm perfectly.
- You know- He moved a little closer- ¿Can I kiss your cheek?
- No.
- ¿Can I please lightly kiss your cheek?
- Lightly- She leered.
He bent down imperceptibly, to give to her a long kiss in her warm, soft and smooth cheek.
- You said lightly- She looked at him once released.
- Not my fault, you're like a marshmallow... I love marshmallows...
- I do not like them- She accommodated their huge lenses.
- I know, my little bubble. The only thing sweet you eat must have chocolate.
Aliza denied. That man remembered everything.
The Garden District and the mansions were places that abstracted her completely. She did not need a tour guide or brochure, she knew everything there, but that did not stop she to stay hours looking at everything. And Drake was looking at her. He liked to see her concentrated in her deep architectural interest, studying some other angle, or drawing among her papers for some idea that had escaped between her mind, to resume some design, some style.
- ¿Do you think I should go to a psychologist?- She asked, without warning, drawing.
- It can be good, yes...- He thought- Maybe can help you with things I do not know...
- But…- She paused, looking construction- I'd be anxious to talk to a psychologist.
- ¿Do you want me to accompany you?
- No- She redrew- It's time to me, start to take responsibility for my brain. Thank you anyway.
- It's good to have that mentality, Aly- Gently he rubbed her arm.
- Well... It's a new mentality. Positive mentality. I do not use for years.
- ¿Why not?
- Because the depressive people don't have no positive mentality, obviously. Otherwise, it would not be depression.
- Beautiful- He bring closer, a little worriedly- ¿Do you have depression? ¿Why did you not tell me?
- I had depression. Had. I do not have. I did not tell you because my obvious Asperger. I would not tell a stranger that I have depression. I would not told you at the time.
- I do not understand… ¿Did you had depression when we met?
- Yes.
- ¿Do you have depression now?
- No.
- That's a relief- Samuel sighed- It is very difficult to get out of a depression. ¿What treatment did you take?
- Any- Amily gently closed her sketchbook- Well, yes, one...
- ¿Which?
- You guess.
Aliza gently patted the wide arm of Samuel. He flashed a wide smile. She was making him clear he had helped to come out of her depression. He was healing stuff that he did not want to know she had. For a moment he felt like a huge guardian angel, proud of himself and incredibly happy for her.
