*Alexandria Jennifer*

What an amazing night, it's 11:00, we get out of the shower and we're happier and more in love than ever.

I get dressed and wait for him to do the same to go downstairs for breakfast.

We hear knock knock!

Liam: Yes?

Lina (behind the door): Oh I don't care about you, aunt Eliane told me that AJ is there, she's the one I'm interested in. AJ, I'm waiting for you sweetheart.

Me (amused): Give me two minutes darling please.

Her: Slow down there oh (laughs).

Lina MAYE is Liam's cousin, she is the same age as him and they are called fraternal twins. They love each other and have always been inseparable. It is with her that I get on the best and I can say that she is already a friend of mine.

I leave the room, I go down and gradually I hear voices. I recognize the voices of Clara and Lina.

To tell the truth, Clara is the kind of cousin who always has a problem with her brothers' girlfriends. She hasn't liked me since the first day she saw me and acts like I'm her rival. At the beginning, I was in a lot of pain because I am a gentle person and I did not understand how people could hate me so much; but today is fine! I ignore his provocations and it's better that way.

Me (entering the kitchen): Hello!

Lina (all smiles): Hello baby, you shine there!

Clara (with contempt): Ptdr, the princess thinks she's in the court of her kingdom, she allows herself to get up at 11 a.m., and it's called my brother's girlfriend. Unable to get up early to make him breakfast. Chiup

Lina: You shut up Clara. Stop talking like that to someone who has never done anything to you. Why are you so rude to her? Can't you see that Liam is happy? Stop pissing off!

Clara (giggling): You're the one who lets yourself be fooled by her saintly airs. Fair girls, all bitches.

Me (the ignorant): Lina, drop it please, it doesn't matter.

Lina: In your place, I would have already slapped him. You are too sweet AJ.

I know she's right but hey it's my nature, I can't do anything about it.

Lina: Anyway, when auntie told me you were there, I took advantage of making you breakfast as I know that yesterday was your 16th birthday. Your gift is on the dresser in the living room.

Me: Thank you Lina, you are an angel. I eat quickly and I have to go home to cook.

Clara: So she even cooks? To poison people?

Ah Clara, if you knew how much of a cordon bleu I am at the age of 16, you wouldn't talk to me like that. But hey, I do not react to his spades. On the other hand,

Lina: If you don't know how to use both hands, that's not the case for everyone, you should be ashamed of not knowing anything about cooking from the height of your 16 years. You have a cordon bleu in front of you, instead of throwing spades at him, ask for lessons.

Well sent! I help myself, I also serve Liam, he joins us and we eat laughing with Lina. I really disregard Clara's spikes.

*1 hour later*

I'm at home, I'm changing and I'm going into the kitchen, P-A and the parents want to eat Nyemboue and Alysha sautéed potatoes with pork chops (The white par excellence, she doesn't like our African food too much). Solène and Titis are still eating the baby jars.

I get busy and some time later we sit down to eat in a good atmosphere and then everyone goes about their business.

Tomorrow, I have class, I have to be ready so I dive into my notebooks.

*3 months later*

I'm sitting in my room with my best friend Alexia and telling her everything that's happened in the past three months.

Alexia: Liam is not coming to see you today?

Me: He's different Alexia, he no longer tries to see me during breaks, he puts his friends before me, I haven't set foot in his house for 2 months and I don't seem to miss him, since he writes to me hours late because he is supposedly busy. We all pass the first part of the baccalaureate but we have time. It worries me !

Alexia: I didn't want to worry you more than that but he has indeed changed! Ever since he's been hanging out with Junior. Besides, he even moves away from Maxime who is his best friend, it's serious AJ.

I explain to you. Junior is the kind of handsome boy who shoots anything that moves, always at parties, women's stories, tricks. Quite the opposite of Liam at the base, who is a handsome but faithful boy, everyone knows that I am his girlfriend and not touched. Liam has always had Maxime as his best friend, they are exactly the same and Maxime has been dating Alexia for two years now.

I don't understand why but for two months, Liam has been very close to Junior, and his behavior has changed considerably.

I need to talk to him.

When I get home, I make the call.

Me: Good evening L, I hope you are well, can we talk?

Him: Good evening AJ, yes but I don't have much time because I'm with Junior.

I cash in and answer: I just need to understand one thing!

Talk to him !

Me: What's up with you? We celebrated 4 years, everything was fine, today you've changed completely, I'm no longer your priority, a friend out of nowhere comes to downgrade me completely, you're abandoning me, what's going on Liam?

Him (after 5 seconds): Nothing

Me (trembling voice): Nothing and you haven't seen me for two months? Are you dodging me in high school?

Him: Please don't start your girls things. I have the right to need air, don't I?

Me (in tears): Am I cheating your air Liam? Are you no longer comfortable with me?

Him: Can the conversation stop please? I am going out.

Me: Don't do this to me Liam please, you know that I love you and that you are hurting me because of the distance you put between us.

Him (after a long silence): I said I needed some air! You're done ?

Me (very bad inside of me): Yes

Him: Very well! Click

I threw the phone away, shed a few tears and from that day on my relationship with Liam became very complex.
