With his eyes red and the tears still rolling down his face mixed with the drops of rain, he looked at me with a small smile and took a deep breath "Let's go" he said walking away from his sister tombstone.
"Where are you going?" I asked confused
"I am celebrating this day correctly" he saidfrom a few steps away I hurried to him while placing the umbrella over him.
"You can take it " he said looking at the umbrella
"You are soaked in water you'll catch a cold" I informed
"Yeah and you?" he asked, then I realized that I was only covering him up while the rain fell onto my hair. "I don't get sick easily, take the umbrella" he said pushing my hand that held the umbrella
"I don't get sick either" I exclaimed forcing my hand into his way so I could cover him
He rolled his eyes while giving a loud sigh "you're so stubborn" . As the words rolled out of his mouth he took the umbrella off my hand and with his other hand he held my hand pushing me towards his chest.
This happened all so quickly that I couldn't have time to react, he took his hand over my back grabbing onto my shoulder so we were both under the umbrella.
His actions made my stomach hurt and my mind get all blurry, was this a side effect of the whiskey? Although he doesn't seem drunk, and I have seen him drunk.
By the time I thought and rethought about his actions and how close we were, and how he looked so careless of our closeness...he called my attention informing me we were near his car "take this" he said while leaning the umbrella towards me, I grabbed it unconsciously while watching him strolling in the to the other side of the car.
I got in the car still a bit taken back by everything "Where are we going?"
"Celebrating this day like supposed to"
"Shouldn't I drive?" I questioned remembering the bottle of whiskey he held a few minutes ago
"No"
"Are you sure? You were just drinking a few minutes ago" I insisted
"I said no, Eleonora " he commented with a sigh
"Don't sigh at me" I commented with a pout
" Stop being frustrating. I want to eat in peace and celebrate like I should've all this years. Can you do that?" He asked while driving
"Of course I can, what am I? 5?"
He throw off a small chuckle leaving me confused. He drove for good 15 minutes due to the NYC traffic, we stopped in a restaurant near by.
As Blaze parked the car I realized where we were.
"No way in hell I am getting in there" I informed
"Why?"
"Why are we here?" I asked while trying to deviate the look from the restaurant
"It was my sister's favorite restaurant"
"I am not getting in there"
"Are you embarrassed of going to a kids restaurant ?" he chuckled " I didn't thought you were of those "
"Of those?" I questioned making him nod " I am not embarrassed its just..." I said while bitting my lip trying to gather the courage to speak the truth
"If you're not comfortable with it, we can just leave" he said
"I was always a bit scared of the dummies of chuck e' cheese" I whispered almost to myself making a huge laugh came out of his mouth
" the dummies?" he said with an amused smile
" those fluffy big things with those eyes that don't move " I said gesturing him what I meant
"Well I will protect you" he teased
"I don't need it, thanks" I rolled my eyes leaving the car and taking the umbrella with me
"Are you sure you don't want to back out?" I heard him say while I walked to the kids restaurant
"I'm sure" I commented
"Let's see if you can take a picture with Chuck" he teased while strolling to me, and getting under the umbrella making us real close again under the black umbrella
"Don't you even" I breathed making him chuckle. We walked in the restaurant and I felt so out of place, every adult in there had at least with them a pair of kids.
Blaze sat down smiling while roaming the place around while I begged for the big stuffed animals to not show up!
"This looks almost the same as before" he commented " I should've come here earlier " a hint of regret crossing his face
"Yeah or later" I said looking at the messy kids full of varying and ketchup on their mouths and body
"Good evening sir's. Have you decided what to eat yet ?" An old lady asked us while matching on her gum
"I will want the hotdog kids menu with extra chips and special sauce" Blaze said quickly
"Ok... you miss?" The waitress asked with an implying tone and a bit rude making me furrow
"She'll have the same" he said not letting me speak, the waitress went away and my eyes followed her, that was so rude I was about to-
"Are you always up to a fight?" he questioned making me come back from my thoughts
"What?"
"She wasn't nice but sometimes we have to let it pass..."
"She was rude"
"Maybe she was having a bad day"
"It's her job"
"Heve you never talked a bit rude to anyone at your work"
"Yes actually..." I said while he nodded back at me, as if he was right "I am rude... to you. You're the only person I am rude too. I respect my employees"
"Oh I see... I'm your punching bag" he joked
"That's so dramatic" I rolled my eyes while he smirked and looked around the restaurant
I stood for a moment looking at him and thinking... How hard could it be for him to come back to this place after all those years, the last time he was here he was a little boy in a family launch, playing around on that weird not sanitary playground. Now... he comes back after year's with me, a person who is the probably the last person on earth who he would want to share this day with, someone who didn't even know his sister, or knew their dynamic or could possibly understand it, because I have no siblings.
Of all the people he could be, I am the one here and that leaves a strange sensation in my belly, shouldn't be here someone else, someone who understands him, someone he fells more comfortable with, someone he can talk to freely about it other than me.
It's wrong and somewhat lonely and sad. I feel bad standing here when maybe it should be someone else, maybe it should be her, although she is not my favourite person, she knows him better, better than me, and now thinking about I do feel weird sharing this day with him when maybe it should be someone else.
The day carried on and after eating on that creepy place Blaze decided we should go to one of Annalise's favorite place... The cinema.
Honestly the idea, wasn't bad, I get that he is doing this for his sister and celebrating it the best way he can other than wrinkly crying over her.
This way is much better, for me and I guess even for Annalise seeing her brother getting drunk every year at her anniversary surely isn't the best way to celebrate her day.
I'm glad this idea of changing the perspective about this day occurred because of me, I am a great person...
However eating lunch with him out of nowhere and going to the movies is honestly a bit tricky to my mind. Although I know this is NOT definitely NOT what it seems to be however to the outside, to the other people if can get the wrong idea.
This... is just for his sister.Nothing more, I should rethink about I do get a bit dramatic over things when they are not that big... Right? Right! Let's just hope Jennifer doesn't find out about this otherwise she would kill me for leaving her alone, with all the responsibilities, out of nowhere when I perfectly know she isn't capable of dealing with extreme stress and that job comes with stress, sometimes a lot of it-
"Eleonora!" Blaze shout caught my attention
"Me"
"Are you okay with horror ?"
"What?"
"An horror movie"
"Hell no"
"Actually is called In Hell" he said pointing at the movie poster of 2003, turns out this week was a repertory week, which means they were playing on old movies from all genres. I didn't even know cinemas did this
"I am not seeing that"
"I'm joking " he laughed "it's action"
"Joking ah? That's new"I said making him roll his eyes. I looked around watching the movies on display and as my eyes crossed a singular movie poster a smirk appeared on my face "we are seeing that one..." I pointed
His eyes followed my finger landing on the movie poster making a small chuckle came out of him "we are not seeing that"
"We are Blaze"
"Eleonora... I am not seeing Barbie Ra- what is that? Rapunzel? I am not seeing that"
"We are"
"We are not"
"We are because I am positively sure your sister would choose that... And after all we are celebrating her day"
"If you this k you can get away that-"
"It's a strong point of view plus it's the only movie she would be allowed to see" I stated looking at his disapproval face, while he was thinking about what I said a pretty young boy probably in his 20's interrupted Blaze's deep thoughts
"Good evenings sir... and lady" he smiled making me smile back "what movie will you see tonight ?"
"Two tickets for- honey... What was the name ?" I teased
"I don't recall"
"Oh please I just said it a minute ago... We're you not paying attention to me at all?"
"Oh yes I'm sorry... Two tickets for IN-"
"BARBIE" I said quickly as I understood his words "barbie as Rapunzel... That's the one"
"Oh so you're seeing barbie as rapunzel" the boy asked with a smile "should I add another ticket for your kid or-"
"Nope, just two adults seeing barbie" I commented making Blaze take a deep breath while giving his card
"Ok?!" the boy said almost laughing "Do you have any preference on seats?"
"Yes middle row please" I said pointing at the small map of chair and the row I preferred "in the center"
"That will be 22.30$" the boy said making me frown after paying I got the popcorn and drinks for us while Blaze was wondering around the cinema worried because the waiting line for the movie was filled with small children mostly dress in pink.
"You look tense... Popcorn?" I asked watching his concerned face
"Are we really seeing a Barbie movie?"
"It's a great movie... I mean you can tell it by the long line " I said waving at the girl in our front with a princess dress
"This was not how it was suppose to go"
"Stop looking like you have OCD and relax. This is a good movie you better be quiet and shut up" I mentioned
With a smiley and victorious expression on the movie was about to begin so the doors opened, a nice lady appear full of crowns and yellow hair extensions, as we where reaching the door she smiled "would you like hair or crown?" she asked smiling at Blaze
"We will take two crowns" I smiled while paying her for the two crowns, he walked inside sitting at our seats.
"I can't believe I am going to watch this" he commented while brushing the tip of his fingers into his forehead
"You know if anything I would say you're one of the most dramatics people I have ever met" I commented, he gave a snort and looked at me
"That's the because you haven't met yourself yet" he responded making me roll my eyes, I grabbed a crown and carefully placed it in his head, he was a bit taken back by my actions but he didn't move letting me finish my job.
I placed the crown in his head and smile "now I crown you... Queen of drama!" I said making the kids in the room look at us and laugh
"Funny" he said not very amused while grabbing the other crown in my lap and placing it over my head "I crown you... Queen of overreacting" he said with a smirk while the kids laughed at us
"It's almost the same thing for your information" I said while he adjusted himself in the seat
"Well, but it suits you better" he said smiling at the black screen making me question a lot of things that have happened through the day.
