Next day, Matt came over.

"Dave, I..."

"Matt, I know you went to Brazil to tell Anne the truth."

"Yeah, she was shocked with everything… Have you talked? Is everything okay?"

"Yes... and no. Things are a little difficult for us but I don't want to talk about it..."

"Ok Dave... but I came here to talk about something else, are you free for the next days?"

"While I don't have a contract I am, why?"

"Remember I told you I was planning some stuff? So..."

"What are you up to, Matt?"

"Nothing much... just some stuff forAnne, you and me..."

"Matt, i don't know, Anne and I are not in the best terms..."

"But that will cheer you up, I'm sure!"

I was afraid of Matt's plans.

He left with Andrew to do I don't know what, and I took a nap, when I woke up it was evening, and I sat by the window to get some air, it was a hot day. I heard Anne's voice at the door.

"Dave, what song is this?"

She was holding a crumpled paper. I got it from her hand and read it. It was the song I had written to her! Where did she get this?

"Where did you find this?"

"On the floor of my living room, you left it there when you dropped your opened back pack… what song is this?"

Nice one, David. You try to be tough and she finds your weak spot on the floor. You could have thrown this shit away when you had the chance, but no. Now, deal with it. I tried to shrug.

"It's a song that I wrote! Why, is it forbidden? You're the only song writter around here by chance?"

She got the guitar and gave it to me.

"Sing it to me."

Fuck.

Anne, I don't feel like singing now... I'll do it some other time...

She insisted.

"Oh, you are singing it. I have all day long."

She crossed her arms. Ok, no way to get out of this… Why the hell did I keep that fucking paper? I started playing but I couldn't stare at her, I was looking at the guitar…

When I finished it, I looked at the window again.

"Who did you write this song to, Dave?"

She wanted me to admit it, she knew the song was for her, but I wouldn't admit it that easily. I didn't move.

"Was it for me?"

Ok, time to be tough. I got up and faced her.

"And why do you care? In fact, I don't even know why you're here… I told you I want a break from you, you didn't believe me when I said I had nothing to do with the drugs thing, You didn't trust me!"

She wasn't intimidated.

"You are so unfair, David. You must have a little memory problem... You want me to remind you when you did the same thing to me?"

WAIT! What?

"Gee David, it's like you forgot that YOU didn't believe me when I told you your beautiful and perfect girlfriend Kim was hitting on my brother! How come you don't remember, you were standing right there, by this same window! You didn't even want to hear me, you chose to believe some cheap girl you had just met rather than believe me, who knows you since forever! You had to see a tape, you had to have the truth rubbed in your face to see it was true! Now tell me, who didn't believe who first? You really think you have the right to judge me? Think about it..."

Man... Take this, David... how come I didn't remember this? I was unfair with her way before, she was right… I did the exact same thing with her first, I didn't believe when she told me the truth, I needed evidences… How did I not remember this? ASSHOLE! You're not that tough now... Say something now! I couldn't speak, I couldn't look at her, I was staring at the floor, mentally trying to dig a hole so I could jump inside and disappear… No such luck. After what seemed 2 hours, but it was actually 5 minutes, I finally admitted it.

"Of course the song is for you... who else would it be for?"

I thought she was gonna laugh at my face for being so cynical, but instead she came towards me, I felt her hands on my face, she made me look at her and kissed me.
