Chapter 3
Although listening to others' conversations wasn't his style, but since Riley had stopped talking with him, he had to understand which was the problem and the reason for which she wanted to leave "their" home. Wow, it was the first time he said something like that.
Suddenly, the girl started to talk with their common friend: <<And now they have broken up, what should I do? I wanted to go away because seeing them together in the same house where I lived too, broke my heart, having to hear them laughing in the shower or simply imaging Mac making love with her. And I feel terribly guilty, because Desi is a dear friend of mine, but it's also true that she hasn't believed to the bottom to the good faith of Mac, leaving him when he needed the most having someone at his side. But even if I stayed what would change? Mac would keep not being in love with me and I should stay there to clean up the mess of a hypothetic future girlfriend or maybe even Desi.>>
Bozer had been trying to encourage for some time now, but Riley was afraid of the idea of losing their beautiful and deep friendship. She could stand of "just" being his best friend and seeing him with other girls, even if it was a stab in chest every time, but she couldn't have resisted of losing their friendship too.
<<Listen, Mac is a fucking genius in everything, but in love, he loses himself. I see how he looks at you and even when he still was with Desi, he didn't look at you like a friend, but with the gaze of a man in love and I think this was of the reasons for which they have decided to break up. And for what concerns your foolish guilt, just forget it, because he and Desi had decided returning friends like they were before without grudge by mutual agreement. Simply they weren't made for each other, instead of you and Mac. You do understand each other immediately and complete each other' sentences. Maybe, you can't see it, but believe me, Mac loves you, only that maybe he still hasn't told you because he is afraid of another rejection, because lastly, the both of you have been collecting a delusion after another. You are the woman Mac loves and Mac is the man you love. Now go tell him and stop thinking, also because, I think also Desi found someone more suitable to her.>> He confided her his now "trusted advisor".
<<Russ and Desi? Well, they seem a good couple. You're right Boze, I have to stop restraining my feelings, I just want to tell Mac and it is what it is.>> Mac, heard those words and at the top of joy, was heading waiting for her upstairs, since when he was surprised at his back by Mattie, who told him: <<Hey Blondie, don't you know that overhearing, is unpolite?>> Making him discover by Riley who, in the meantime, had got nearer to the door. The guy was really embarrassed for the situation and for the fact that their "current" status had become of public domain.
<<Don't worry, please make yourself at home. We are big and strange family and so we share joys and sorrows. And we couldn't stand you anymore. Blondie, try not letting her escape. She is your compass and if it hadn't been for her, maybe we wouldn't have had back our Mac. You are made for each other, so stop losing time.>>
The two of them, driven by their dearest friends, indulged in a long and romantic kiss that they have been desiring for a long time.
<<So, all of you knew about it?>> Mac asked. This time, the first speaking was Desi.
<<I got it since some time and then when your father died and you started an obsessive hide to Codex, I understood I hadn't found the right way to help you and I haven't been neither a good girlfriend. We are different, but this experience helped me to understand that, even if we're not made for each other, it doesn't mean we can't be great friends, also because I promised Jack that I would have taken care of all of you and I want to keep this promise. Here, I found you and a "mad" and big family and I'm happy that also you have finally found your soulmate. Maybe it will be the same for me. Riles, take care of him, ok?>>
<<You can count on it, friend. However, one of these nights, we have to make a party, deserved just to us.>> She told her laughing.
<<I completely agree.>> The agent replied, hugging her.
<<Ah Riley, you don't have to worry about the house because I have just taken care of it.>> Her "mommy" Matty confessed.
<<Well, to celebrate what do you say about ski ball and pizza for everyone? Then, we could videocall Jack and tell him about the new couple. I'm really interested in what his reaction could be.>> Desi proposed, making everyone laugh.
<<As a good Englishman, I'll have to show you my "great" ability.>> And all of them happy and they went to celebrate.
