He invited her to have lunch together. At the beginning she accepted, but at last she changed her mind. «You know what?», she said during the phone call made to inform him about her refusal. «My boss decided to bring all of us to have lunch. It's an expected working lunch. I'm sorry. I call you back later». It was not a problem. He had lunch with other people and then he was back to work. After a couple of hours his mobile rang. It was her. «I'm sorry for what happened before, but I couldn't refuse my boss invitation».
«It's OK, I understand».
«I... Yes, there's a football match today, isn't it?», she asked. As every woman she didn't find anything interesting in football, but the FIFA World Cup created a moment of curiosity. She didn't know any player, any name, but for some reason she wanted to follow the main sport event of the moment.
«France versus Germany», he answered. «I was thinking to go to watch it. Are you interested? Would you like to join us?». He said "us". He knew she didn't feel like staying alone with him. He thought it was because of embarrassment. She knew he liked her, and her, well, her was impossible to decrypt. Apparently she had no interest in him, but for unclear reasons it was her to contact him. «What game are you playing, baby?», he used to asked himself. But he couldn't find any answer. Not yet.
«Yeah, it would be great», she said. «What time are you going?».
«Hopefully at 6 o'clock».
«OK, see you there. But... where, exactly?».
«Luxembourg bar».
«It's near to my office».
«I know. That's why we chose it».
The appointment was established, now it was question of time. Unfortunately his chief asked him to work on an unexpected interview, and the man he had to talk to arranged a meeting at 6 o'clock. Her mobile rang.
«It's me. Listen, they asked my to work on something was not foreseen... An interview. Try to guess what time I meet that person...».
«Please, don't tell me... Six o'clock?».
«Yep».
«OK, no problem. We'll watch another game. Bye».
It was 8 pm when he ended with his working day. He was more than tired, he was exhausted. But he had no intention to go to sleep. He took the phone and he dialled her number.
«Hallo?».
«Hi, it's me. Can you talk or maybe...».
«No, it's OK. Tell me».
«Well, It seems this time I finished to work and I was wondering if you would like to watch Brazil football match».
«Oh, thanks. I really would like. Brazil is always Brazil, but the fact is I'm having some headache. I'll let you know later, by SMS or by calling, OK?».
«OK. See you later».
«See you, bye».
She never called back.
«It's OK, I understand».
