Part 24

The escape… in the mirror

On the next morning I called Alice. “Hello, here is Tina. Do you intend on Friday already which, I could a friend use?” within the week Alice is always very jerky and restless, because she has “Good morning L.A.” – transmission in the radio and that again were called for it early rise. Thus it was me rather, if we met on weekend, there had we then also sufficient time. “No, Friday is good. Would you like to go out?” “No, rather not, not yet. Can we meet with me? So against 20 o'clock?” “Okay, goes clearly. Tina?” “Yes.” “I could come also immediately, if you want?” “No, Friday already is okay. Thanks.” “I am pleased, until then.” “Bye.”

I prepared a few snacks, because I know that Alice loves this small Canapés with many different sorts cheese. In addition and I believe a good red wine, am perfectly prepared I. Alice comes, as always, 10 minutes too late. She falls herself purposefully on the plate and begins the first snack to feed. “How are you?” “Correct well to time, thanks.” I began to tell it of the case of pure with Jamie and of my Chat with LonelyHeart. I wanted that she knows everything, my thoughts, my feelings and that I had decided me to live here with you further whether you is now there or not, for me you are it. Alice only listened, said no word, did not make not times the attempt to interrupt me. And so I could talk myself finally times everything about the soul, everything that I had said you in the last weeks and months, particularly however wanted I, mean resolution, to hold you as long as it goes, in this way to seal. Alice looked at me with eyes broken far. “And which you say now to it?” “Wow.”

Her haggardly view said to me that I had totally attacked it and probably even made excessive demands of. “Give me one minute, I must that everything first times process.” “Nevertheless, you still another glass wine would like safe?” “And whether, it bring along’ best equal the whole bottle.”

I got the wine cooler from the cabinet, filled him also little ice and opened a new bottle. At the temperatures there outside the bottle can stand calmly little ice. Alice emptied hastily its glass and still knows in swallowing with the finger into the empty glass. “Full, completely fully.” “Property I you much make excessive demands of now?” “Not in the slightest, Tina. I did not hear you talk only already so long any longer so much. I do not know now in the first moment exactly whether I am to be pleased now for you whether you’re realizations or whether I should make myself not nevertheless dear ensuring.” “You do not have to make yourself concerns. I am really well. I had simply only the feeling I would have times with someone about all this to talk.” “I understand well. I am pleased that you again back are. We missed you all very much, for us concerns made and … felt us evenly shit, because we could not so at all help you.” “Alice is already good. I believe it was important for me that I went this way alone.” “White I, he was evenly only a little long. And you were actually ready to give to Bette a second chance?” “I think already. Now, I do not know really, how I would react. I mean, nobody white that. But if I assume that time, which I understood now finally, what I still feel for it, then would like I that we have both a second chance.” “You know in the meantime, where Bette is?” “No, but that has to do also nothing at all with my resolution. I do not say that everything will come in such a way and I do not say also that it would become simple. I do not know evenly only that I would be ready now for it, any more, in addition, not less. Do you understand that?” “Okey-dokey!!“
