CALIFORNIA 47 cuca/emiliano´s story

What a nice evening has been the last for Emiliano, even for Cuca has been good, and accordingly to their real feelings they have dated again for the next day that is Sunday, today, and all day Emiliano is thinking where to go with the girl. He wants to please her and is thinking what to do or where to go with Maria José.

What could be the best site to talk, thinks Emiliano this Sunday morning, we are in winter, it is cold, it is raining, so it must be a site indoors, near Maria Jose´s house, as far as a short walk, so look for a place or ask you sister that knows a lot about nice sites in Madrid.

At last a place is in his mind, the California 47 Cafeteria that is situated in Goya Street, it is at ten minutes from Cuca´s house and sure it could be a nice beautiful place to talk. 

At seven o´clock Emiliano is waiting for Cuca at Niza´s corner like he was yesterday. Soon Cuca is out from her house and steps up Hermosilla Street where Emiliano is watching her as she comes to where he is.

Nice beautiful smart girl he thinks, how much I like her face and her cheerful smile.

         

Once again they are talking like old friends, easy, cheerfully, and with empathy between them. Empathy is the rule all the time Maria Jose and Emiliano are together talking, something special are between them as if there is a kind of mental connection that makes everything so easy all the time that Cuca and Emiliano are close near one from the other.

It is like a world exclusively for them, nothing more counts when they are together, things, noises, people disappear and for Emiliano only Maria Jose exists, just the same as for the girl that feels Emiliano is close to her feelings. It is so easy to talk with this boy, thinks Cuca, what a big difference between him and the other boy I was months before.

Easily talking they are going down Goya Street till the California 47 cafeteria. Previously Emiliano has said Cuca if she likes to go in this nice place and she said, yes, that could be very nice for them.

Sitting one in front the other with a little table between the two young are talking about their own life. Emiliano is so absorbed with Cuca´s talk than suddenly he has hit the glass with his drink and then gin tonic is on his trousers and on the floor, so clumsy he said, sorry dear I was out of reality listening to you. Immediately a nice girl carry another drink and dry the trousers of the boy with some napkin papers.

After a while they are laughing remembering the incident and the wet trousers of Emiliano. It is cold he said, very cold indeed, he laughs as touching his upper leg.

The two hours they were talking is one of the best time they could remember always. 

Their second date, so incredible nice and with a special air round them, has been perfect and the two future lovers go up Goya Street absolutely happy. Once they are again in Niza coners close to Maria Jose house they agree to see each other the following days. Emiliano asks the girl if she likes to go to see a movie that is now in Madrid, a famous story about a Russian Pope, and Cuca says yes, I would like to see it as I have read the book already, it is a novel of Morris West and I like the book very much.

Very well Cuca, I will get the tickets to go on Christmas, just the 25^th at seven o´clock, so we need to date sooner.

O.K., Emiliano, nice, see you then on 25^th to go to the theatre, that is right? Yes of course, I will phone you once I have get the tickets, o.k.?

Good, very good says the girl, I will be looking forward Christmas, sure the movie has to be beautiful and we can enjoy it.

I´ll be pleased seeing you Cuca, it is always a great pleasure to me having the opportunity of being together seeing a movie or going for a walk, see you soon dear. 

They are at the corner, Alcaá/Hermosilla Street,  and only shake hands, that´s enough for the moment and for the time they were living.
