         The truth it was she could barely believe in her eyes. With her elbows leaned over the table top and her face on her hands, Allya was looking at the pool table ahead almost without to blink, entirely forgotten about her drink with its little pipe left inside it ahead of her, at times letting to escape out a sigh that seemed a lot as a impassioned one, and noticing Allya's behavior, her female friend sat at her side, sipping from her glass, ended saying under a breath:
         - Allya, go there. Say a hello to the guy, what's the matter?
         As if getting out from an enchantment, Allya got a fright, blinking her eyes and almost overthrowing her glass:
          - No, Missy, no, let it... Let it.
         Missy clicked her tongue, feeling annoyed, softly shaking her head, and Allya restarted to look at the foreign boy who was playing pool, and who seemed to be winning the match: He was very tall and skinny, but that kind of defined skinny, and in her dreams Allya could bet that under the white shirt he wore there was a beautiful abs, and just to think about that made her to sigh again. He was wearing a dark and tight jeans, a belt with a big buckle and in his head a black cowboy hat to which, taking it off away a time or another to itch his head, Allya could then saw his hair was shining dark blonde, and he had green eyes with attentive expression, and the face dotted with freckles, and that mouth... Allya sighed again. That enormous and beautiful mouth... And when he smiled? Or when he cleaned his lips on his shirt's sleeve after drinking? Or when he held the cigarette at the corner of his lips and made it to swing while thinking, analyzing the play? Allya let out another sigh. What a perfect man! Ah, if she had one like that... If she had the courage to get to him and give him at least a hello, if he noticed her. The girl sighed once more.
         Leaving her glass on the table, Missy crossed her arms and, to the contrary of her friend, at least trying to disguise it, she looked at the foreign man for a while before to say:
         - Who may he is, Allya? I'm sure I've never seen him around here before.
         - I'm sure as well I didn't too. I would remind it if I've already seen him. How... - Allya sighed again - How could I forget it?
          - Wow, you're pretty fallen for him - Missy spoke, looking at her friend and finding it funny.
          - Ah, but how could I don't, Missy? Look at him!
         - Hum - she looked - I didn't find him no big thing. Jack's the handsome the most.
         - Ah, wow - Allya said, a little angry, deviating from the unknown man to her friend her glance, who looked at hers too - It isn't just because you got a boyfriend you need to throw at our faces how much he's handsome, Missy.
         She took her glass and took another sip, shrugging her shoulders:
         - Ouch, I'm sorry. I just told you what I think. And I don't like smoking guys as well... And there's more, Allya, observe him: He quite seems a trouble maker, isn't?
         - I don't care - she smiled, looking to the foreign man ahead - I like confusion. The one here who likes the nice guys it's you, friend.
         - Ok - and Missy shrugged her shoulders again - So why don't you go there and try your chances? Who knows you hunt and get a little confusion to have fun around tonight.
         - No, no, no - Allya frightened herself again, and taking her glass she pulled a sip by the pipe - I'm ... I'm happy here just watching.
        - Allya, friend... That timidity of yours won't led you nowhere, y'know? - and she suddenly seemed to have made a decision, as she averted her own glass along the table - Ah, do you wanna know? That's was myself who got into Jack, wasn't it? And it worked - and all of a sudden Missy placed herself up on her foot - Yet you don't wanna go, I'll go there and talk to him in your place.
         Opening her eyes wide, Allya quickly held her arm, trying to impede her to do that wackiness, and Allya muttered:
         - Missy, your crazy one, sit right there now, what are you doing?
         - I'm being your friend - and she pulled her arm - Maybe it could work fine... You can thank me later - and without to get to do nothing, Allya saw Missy quickly going away into the direction of the pool table surrounded by guys, and covering her eyes with both hands Allya sighed, but that time in despair. Missy had been always a little crazy, but at that time, in Allya's opinion, she was surpassing all the limits. Feeling her mouth suddenly dry, Allya searched for her glass and, averting the pipe aside she took a large sip by the edge of it as she saw Missy to stop a meter far from the foreign man, as if just thinking about what to say while softly itching her red hair, and Allya took herself desiring her friend to give up and come back to the table.
         At that moment, the little bar boy approached the foreigner holding a cheap whiskey bottle, and Allya saw her friend giving a step back as she was giving passage to the boy, who delivered him the bottle that the foreign man placed at the floor at his feet next to the table, once again quickly returning back to the bar. And disguising for a moment that she was actually just looking at the game, Missy spied over his shoulder for an instant, and Allya found herself with both hands trembling, as she felt to sink on her chair, and when she saw Missy raising an arm and poking him on his shoulder Allya felt her eyes almost popping out, and when he turned and smiled at Missy, Allya almost let a shout out.
         Missy spoke with him, giving a half step back when she noticed he descended his glance all along through her, then carrying to talk, and tensely Allya grabbed her glass with both hands. And when she saw Missy to lift up her right hand with the index finger pointed into her direction, what made him smiling to turn into Allya and look at her, Allya swallowed, lowering her eyes, feeling her face turn red as a living coal in just a second, and when Allya finally had the courage to raise up again her eyes to them, she saw he was talking to Missy, who seeming a little angry, was talking him back, and he laughed out loud, seeming immensely amused, and Allya's feelings divided themselves inside her, who was tense and just wanting to vanish away from there, but at the same time feeling fascinated with his laughing, that she heard, and it was that what kept Allya there, impeding her to get up and ran out there before Missy to come back to the table, what she really did after to spoke him some other words, gesturing with her hands, and Allya well knew her: The ginger Missy was angry. The reason why, Allya just couldn't imagine, but all of a sudden Allya noticed she was really really curious about.
         With the heels of her boots hardly hiting the floor, Missy came back to the table and she was complaining when she reached the chair to sit down again at Allya's side:
         - What idiot - she spoke angrily, getting sat down, looking at his back, who calmly restarted to play, looking as if just it have happened nothing - The way Jack is, I would want him to tell these things in front of Jack!
         - What goes on, Missy? - Allya asked, a little afflicted.
         - Ah, what a hate! - she took the glass and took a sip - Jack would break down that face of his, shameless one!
         - Missy, could you tell me what happened? - and she finally looked at Allya, turning to leave the glass over the table again, and Allya bended her torso forward over the table top, muttering - What did you tell him? And what did he tell you back?
         - Ah - she said - I went there so completely craziness stated that I not even planned what I was about to say, and when I get there was that I realized it. But luckily, right on time the bar's boy came to deliver the bottle, and I heard him call the other one "Kreezer". Ok, I thought, what such a weird last name, but it's better than nothing - and shrugged her shoulders, Allya's curiosity reaching to the sky - Then, I poked him and said: "Hey, mister Kreezer. Excuse me, but I've got to say you something: A friend of mine is in love with you, but a little shy to come and tell it herself... It's that one, right there", and I pointed at you.
         - Oh, my God - Allya covered her face with her hands - Missy, your crazy one, did you say that?
         - I did, ouch. And I asked him if he would like to take you on a date, too.
         - Oh, my God, I can't believe it - Allya moaned - And he, what did he say?
         - The man is plain crazy. First of all, he kept on staring me while I was talking, that he put me under fear, an then, he just looked at my face again and told me "Hey, girl, what the fuck about that damn 'mister' thing? Are you from bloody England or something? " Ouch, what a jerk! - and she took her glass, taking one more sip, before to continue - So I told him that, to the contrary as him, I've got some education, just that, and I was trying to be polite, and then I asked him if he could do me the favor to answer to what I have asked him instead of keeping on acting like a jerk. Then he laughed out loud and responded he would take you for a date, yes, and me together, cause he would be up to the thing to get the two of us.
