After the Wine

Mia is an 18-year-s an old girl in her first year of college. Usually, she is reticent and gets good grades. And that's why she never has much free time, but the little she has, she usually doesn't know what to do with it. One day decides to go out to a party on her own She Looks at her watch. It's 9 o'clock at night. Mia starts to get ready to go out; when she arrives, she meets some friends at the party, and they all dance together. They have a great time, suddenly notices that it is 4 AM in the morning the party ends at 5, but she decided to leave early At the exit, she is approached by a not very tall boy with light brown eyes and, he is only a little bit taller than her. Mia is 167. He must be 170, his name is Andre he studied architecture they talk about their life, then asks her, what are you going to do now Mia? I'm going back home, it's already 5 AM and tomorrow I have classes.

Andres asks her if you want me to take her home. I don't have any problems. Mia doubt for a few seconds but decided to accept .while he was driving ask, what do you think if we better go to my apartment? And when it's the morning, I'll drop you off. Still, I'm not telling you to do anything. I'm sleepy, and I don't want to crush my car, and if you see that building next to the construction, that's where I live, she says. If I'm honest, I'm so sleepy too, why not? I cant tell that you are not a bad guy. When they arrive, Andre says, let's not make too much noise since I live with my sister. She must be sleeping. Go to my room, sit on the bed, wait for me. I will go and prepare something to eat. Mia replied I am fine, but if you like, go ahead. After 5 minutes, he arrives with a sandwich and some soft drinks. He goes to the kitchen, Mia accepts happily while they eat, talk about their lives, and say to her if you want to play PlayStation?

Mia says, "I would love to! You know I always play with my brother and I am practically an expert. Andre says I believe you. They play for a while, and for a change, the boy wins, Mia with a clear annoyed expression, he says, you beat me. Indeed it is because I am sleepy if you want to play another round to make it fairer. In the second round, Mia wins, but just barely, they both laugh and continue talking. She asks him? What do you do? My parents have a brand of wine, Bright cellar, and at the moment I work for them doing marketing, look, do you know this brand? I'm sorry, but the truth is that I don't drink wine, so I don't know anything about wines. If you want to add me to Facebook, when she adds him, she notices that his last name is the same as the vineyard's name but whit a twist is Cuellar. They both start to feel sleepy and get into bed for sleep. He asks her do you mind if I hug you? not at all, Mia replied. She feels how her heart beats strong and how her breathing accelerates. She feels the aroma of his deodorant, soon Mia starts to feel how her eyes are closing little by little, and they both fall asleep. When they woke up, they were still hugging. Mia looked at her cell phone and noticed that it was late and that she would be late for class. She explained that she would prefer to take the subway. Before they say goodbye, Andre asks would you like to do something on Friday, Mia accepts, but two days after meeting him, she would meet the guy who will be his boyfriend for a few years.

After finishing university, she decides to go live in Europe and lead a quiet life. This time has helped her to grow as a person, to get to know herself better. One day, Mia sat down in a coffee shop and immediately noticed that a guy was looking at her and smiling. Mia doesn't know what to think and decided to continue looking at her cell phone. She sees that someone is standing next to her, she says hello, I've been watching you, and you seem nice, I know that you don't know me, but would you give me your Instagram? Mia says, why not? It's just my Instagram, add me now he insists and smiles at her, she says okay okay, so you can see I'm not lying to you, look added, she asks André is your name? yes, nice to meet you, can I ask what are you doing here alone? Just waiting for my friend he is about to arrive he was supposed to be 10 minutes ago but I'm not surprised he is always late, look here comes my friend you see him? I can see him. It's better if I leave now and let you share with your friend.

André says goodbye, when the friend arrives he asks, who was that guy, is handsome, ah? Yes, he is attractive, but I don't know where he came from. I can tell he is a little bit crazy. He asked for my Instagram; let's look at his Instagram. Mia opens Instagram to look at his profile. Notice is a film student and enjoys travel as much as she does start to see that they have many common things, Mia friend says it seems interesting, yes he looks interesting. I have met guys who appear to be exciting and end up being very dull, hey but don't be so closed-minded, give him a chance, besides studying film. You have subjects in common, and if you don't like him you can be friends, relax a little, in two years you haven't met anyone, you've had a couple of dates, but you're still single, don't you think it's terrible to lead such a lonely life? You should be looking for someone to make you happy. Mia doesn't say anything. Deep down, she knows that her friend is right.

When she gets home, she starts to look at the guy's pictures, thinks it's just how I like them. At that moment, she receives a message from Instagram. It's that guy. He apologizes for how he was too abrupt with her at the café. As days go by, she converses more with him. She realizes he is friendly and even funny. They begin to know each other a little bit more each day, they become friends. Still, they never manage to get together in person. She is always busy with her projects. Barely has time, just to sleep. He is also at the end of the semester, full of exams.

Months go by, and one day he tells her I think we've been talking for a couple of months, and still, we don't hang out in person. I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with me. On Friday at 8 o'clock? Mia agrees, Friday at 8 o'clock ? is fine with me.

When the expected day arrives, Mia doesn't know why but she is nervous. She never feels anxious when it comes to men; when she looks at her phone, it is 8 o'clock, he sends her a text messes saying I'm outside, she is surprised that he is on time. When they arrive at the Italian restaurant, they sit at the table, and both have a great time. They talk about their projects and what they want to do when they finish college. At one point, Andre ordered two glasses of merlot from the brand Bright cellar. She says I don't usually drink wine, but somehow, this brand sound familiar Andre just smiles at her. When they finish dinner, Andres says, Mia, I want to tell you something since I saw you at the café. But still, I don't know-how's, worried. She asks Does something wrong happen? Why are you acting so weird? a few seconds of silence is formed, and he asks, do you remember me? Mia, confused, ask, What do you mean I remember you? I don't understand, he looks at her without saying anything, you and I met a couple of years ago at a party and then we went to my house, do you remember now? She says, yes, I remember, but how are you here now? I don't understand, the truth is that soon after I met you I realized that you started a relationship, and well I came to study here. One day I saw you walking in the park, and I remembered you immediately, but you never saw me. You just looked at your phone, had a cup of coffee, and left. And I thought you hadn't changed at all, and I realized that I wanted to know you better this time. I opened Instagram and tried to add you, but I didn't. I was embarrassed, I thought you wouldn't remember me, so I made a plan. I saw that your friend, the one you always hang out with, I added him to Instagram. I told him that I had known you for a long time and that I wanted to meet you again, your friend immediately said yes. I know that you have been single for a long time, and well, don't get mad at him, and now that I have you close, I don't want to let you go. I know it's a little early, but we have been talking for a while, and I feel we have chemistry. That's why I would like to see if you would allow me to get to know you even better. Maybe it will work out, perhaps it won't, but at least I want to try, what do you say? Mia hesitates because she was very hurt by her old relationship, not to mention that his personality reminds her of her ex-boyfriend. She is afraid of falling into the same trap twice and thinks my conclusion was proper. He is a little crazy. Mia says, you caught me off guard, and I don't know what to think. I don't understand why you didn't say it from the beginning. It doesn't make sense, Andres reply because if I said it initially, I knew you weren't going to talk to me much. I wanted you to know me as something from zero, and I wanted to see if, before everything, you were going to like me or not. I wanted to feel safe, not to mention that your friend told me that you tend to get bored quickly and not take practically anyone into account. .I wanted to see if it was going to be different with me. Well I know about your ex-boyfriend, everyone knows what happened, well it's not strange that you got hurt, he's immature, I know him too, in fact, I shared many times with him, we belong to the same circle of friends, everyone knows what he did. You were the only blind one who saw him as a saint, but well, I don't want to get involved in your life. Mia, surprised, tells him the truth that after all this time of knowing him and talking whit him every day, she likes him too, and yes, and wants to give him a chance, maybe it will work out, perhaps it won't. You never know, but we don't lose anything in trying
