"So what you wanna know" He asked.
"I don't know... what you wanna tell me?" I said.
"Let's see... I'll tell you about my family, that will tell about me."
"Ok" I said.
The weather was getting worse and the wind making the trees shaking in the road.
He put a love songs cd and started his story.
"So, my father, Jack Belmont met my mum in a diner. Her were the waitress there and she changed his order with another costumer and so they started talk for the first time, and after that he asked her to go out. In a few months Jamiey Pleckwill became Jamiey Pleckwill Belmont. They merried in the Hawaii alone, and they are very happy. My father is a businessman and own lot of stores around america. My mum always liked diners and he gave to her this little diner were you came. He called it the City of Fruits because he says that after he met her he started to see the world with new eyes and this city became a happier city to him.
After 2 years they had me. Let's say they were so happy that they didn't know what to do, and so hired so many babysitters that I never had the change to have a mum and dad relationship. I study in the Habor High School and after that I said I wanted to work in my mum's diner."
"Wow... is sad that you didn't had the change of have your parents by your side." I said sadly.
"Yeah... but I don't think of that, they love me and also do I. You can stuck with bad thoughts, they only dind't knew what do to me, back there."
"That's true..." I said and stopped. I looked trought the window, was raining so much that I realized that go to the beach was something impossible. "So... is raining, I don't think we can go to the beach today."
"Don't worry. I said that were I wanted to take you is on the beach, but not
on the beach." He said laughing. "I hope you brought clothers"
"Well, I didn't. I thought we were going to visit the beach, not some place near the beach."
"You're lucky I brought clothers and one blanket."
"Why? We're staying for the night?" I said surprised.
"Yeah! I think I told you that, didn't I?"
"No! Josh! I have to work tomorrow!"
"Sorry Dan. But I think you'll have to call your boss and say you are terrible and can't go to work." He said laughing "By the way, what I want to show you is only in the early morning."
"I hope Richard bit this thing." I said while I dial in the cellphone.
"Don't forget you have to tell me about you." Josh said.
"Hello?... Hi Richard, is me, Daniel... Yeah, well not everything, I'm not felling well so I was wondering if I can miss work tomorrow..." He said a lot of things like, -You're lucky you have Kirsten,and she can replace you for tomorrow, but try not be ill.
(If you know when you're gonna get ill) "Ok, thanks Richard. Good morning"
Josh looked at me with his deeply blue eyes and said "So...?"
"You're a lucky man" I said laughing.
"See?! I knew you were going to stay the night!"
"Yeah... you're full of... - I stopped and look at him - smile" I finished.
"Really? Is that bother you?Because if it does I can stop..." He said laughing.
"I don't want, I like to see your smile" I said while I looked the road.
"And I like yourse" He said looking at me. His crooked smile was perfect. He was more beautiful then he was and I couldn't stop looking at him.
"Well I think is your turn to tell the story" He said.
"Are you sure?" Looking at him was away better.
"Yeah, I wanna know about you" He said.
"Ok... I'll tell you like, a short short short party" I said laughing.
"There's no funny. I wanna know everything."
"You'll know. Quick"
I changed the cd and put No angel from Dido. The rain was falling as a waterfall.
"So, My mum Abgail met my dad in the school and merried him in two weeks, and you see..." I was interrupted.
"You're saying your mother got married two weeks after she met your father?"
"Is pretty much that" I said laughing. "Well as I was saying, she wasn't happy with him and wanted broke up, but then she got pregant of me and she forgot the break up thing, after I born she break up and after that we never saw him again. Some says he died after a few weeks, but I don't believe. She worked as a attendant in Wal-Mart store and became a vice president after some years. I finished school and started working at this store and I started some theather school but I quit. That's pretty much about me, I guess."
"Yeah... I was hoping something like And then a alien came and brought me to my mum..." He said laughing.
"There's not funny Josh" I punched his arm.
"Ok! You don't need to punch me..." He said with his crooked smile.
"Sorry...'
"Don't worry. Anyways, you're sucks like a punisher"
"Hey!!!"
"Sorry..." He said laughing. "So... we're here!"
I can't believe I thought. It didn't passed three hours with this little talk...
"You really could stop with joke" I said looking at his eyes.
"I'm serious, I didn't said that it was on the beach... Is out there." He turned the car to a little road, and even that was 10:30 a.m. was really dark. We only could see the grass illuminated by the light of the car. It took us about four minutes to get there. Then I saw.
"So... What you think?" He said after he stopped the car.
"It's beautiful! I always wanted to see one."
"So your dream came true"He said.
I never though it might be a lighthouse the place he wanted to show me.
