"Hola,Kiddo!",an older woman with red hair opened the door to his apartment.

"Hello mother! How was your trip?",he asked.

"It was great! The people were sooo nice..."

Rick started to think about Kate, soon he was lost in his thoughts.

"But... What's up? You weren't listening to me anymore and you doesn't seem happy?",she asked.

"I... I met a gorgeous woman,she's very beautiful,and her smile is pure magic,we also watched a movie together.."

"And what's the problem then?",the older woman's asked confused.

"That was two weeks ago,I told her to call or text me if she wanna do something like that again,but seems like she's not interested in me...",he explained his mother.

"Ohhh,maybe she just had to work much in those two weeks'",she said walking upstairs, making herself ready for a date.

When she opened the door to the coffee shop ,she saw Rick sitting at a table near a window.

Should she go over to him? He's probably angry...

They didn't saw each other because she didn't call him.

She decided to go over to him, he should know why she didn't call.

After she had bought herself a coffee she walked over to him. Nervously she sat down in front of him,not asking if she could,she knew he would say no.

He looked up,and she knew at way he looked at her that he was pissed.

"Rick! I wanna explain you why I didn't call...

I... You already mean much to me, and I were afraid of loosing you, because what happens in 's life years ago, and I am broken, and because I were afraid of loosing people who mean much to me,I built up a wall inside of me,so no one could get in so no one could have hurt me again.I would love to explain you everything a bit more ,and I would hope that we could speak at your apartment,but probably you don't wanna see me again...", he saw tears built up in her eyes,and when he saw that she wanted to stand up he grabbed her wrist.

"Kate,please wait...",he watched her thinking and she decided not to go.

He took her hand and said:" I was and still am a bit pissed but I would love if you explain everything to me, because I wanna understand you... Maybe 6am at my apartment?",he smiled at her.

"REALLY?", she couldn't believe him, no one ever wanted to speak to her again after something like that.

"Yeah,really!"

"Kay,6am your apartment.",she smiled.

They talked a bit more till Rick had to leave.

She watched him leave and sat a bit more at the table at the coffee shop.

When Kate arrived at his apartment,her hands were trembling, after few deep breaths she knocked at his door.

He opened the door and let her in.

"Ehhh... we got a little problem. I forgot to go to the supermarket so would you mind if we would order something in?",he asked,his hand going through his hair.

"Of course we can order something in, I don't mind."

"Kay,the",he said blushing.

Rick noticed she was still wearing her jacket and asked if he could take her jacket. When she said yes ,he helped her out of her jacket and his hand touched her arm,because of that electric shocks went through her body.

After they called to order something in,they sat with an awkward silence on his stared at her hands because he noticed they were shaking.

"You're staring!",she suddenly said without looking at him.

"I.. What? Where? Sorry! Wanna watch TV till our food arrives?"

She nodded and he stood up to turn the TV on,when he sat down again he sat down next to her,their knees touching.

After a few minutes of sitting on the couch,she laid down her hand on his hand, when he wanted to take hers in his,the door bell ring and the food arrived.

After they finished eating she started to talk.

"You know I wanted to explain you everything..."

"You don't have to Kate!I hope you know that!"

" 'course I do! But I wanna tell you... It was two years ago. My mum,dad and me wanted to catch dinner at a restaurant to talk a bit. She didn't come so I wanted to go home, maybe she forgot it because she had to work so hard. My dad waited at the restaurant...", tears started to built up in her eyes.

"I walked home and in an alley I heard her screaming! I walked into that alley and there she laid, stapped in her stomach a few times,near death"
