*The night before.* --- *Maia was sitting in a chair.* *With a suffering expression.* --- —Chequito... --- -Yeah? --- —How much longer? --- *Checo, sitting on a small chair to reach her hair, continued to carefully roll up strands using socks.* --- —Still a little bit. --- —Don't move. --- *He stuck his tongue out of concentration.* --- —If one gets loose... --- —It ruins the whole novel. --- *Kamui, sitting on the bed, watched the scene.* --- —Did I really agree to this? --- -Yeah. *Maia said.* —Because you're my best friend. --- —That was my mistake. --- *Checo finished a curl.* --- -Ready! --- *He gave her a happy pat on the back.* --- —It turned out beautifully. --- *Kamui sighed.* --- —Maia... --- -Yeah? --- —I remind you that my brother... --- —He doesn't understand hints. --- -I know. --- —He doesn't understand looks. --- -I know. --- —She doesn't understand flirting. --- —... --- -I know. --- —Once a girl asked him for his number. --- -AND? --- —He gave her a restaurant's phone number because he thought she wanted to make a reservation. --- *"...* " --- *Checo stopped making waves.* --- -It just can't be. --- —Yes, you can. --- *Kamui covered his face.* --- —He's my brother. --- *Checo finished the last sock.* --- -Well... --- —If it doesn't work... --- *He smiled proudly.* --- —At least tomorrow Maia will have the prettiest waves in the paddock. --- *Kamui looked at her.* --- -Yes indeed. --- —Takuma won't notice them... --- —But everyone else did. --- *Maia threw a cushion at him.* --- -BE QUIET! --- *Checo caught it in mid-air.* --- —Don't fight! --- —The waves absorb bad vibes! --- *Kamui burst out laughing.* --- —Who told you that? --- -Nobody. --- —But it sounds true. 😭🩷🧦✨
