Elizabeth was the one who always started those games. Firstly she poured my hidden alcohol away and then hid the rest of it. I think I get her point now, but back then I haven't. She was taking candy from a kid that was constantly pissed at life.

„You know that I'm doing this for your own good." Was her answer everytime.

„You know that let me drink in peace would do a better job, wouldn't you?" I asked in return. Of course, she didn't know, she had noidea that I was drinking to easily cope with the nightmares that haunted me every night.

SoI started to hide her things as well. Sometimes it was a favourite shirt or lipstick. See her running around our apartment and found her things in the weirdest spots were hilarious and that was the time we both realise that it became a game.

„Why are you smiling?" She asked suddenly and look up from her book, her blond lock fell in waves down her shoulders.

„I'm not smiling." I frowned.

„Yes,you are. Why don't you just tell me why?" She tried her puppy eyes, knew that I won't resist those.

„Was thinking about our first kiss. When was that?"

„Four years ago." She said quietly and I saw in her eyes that she was inthe same exact moment I was just a few minutes ago.

I hide one of her favourite lipstick, she was furious because she knew she will be late if she won't get out of the apartment in ten
minutes. And she hates being late.

„I know it was you! Give it back!" She accused me correctly.

„Why you want that lipstick so bad? Is it because you have a date?" I smiled.

„What?No! It is the perfect match for that outfit." But I saw herblushing.

„Alright,alright." I took the lipstick out of my pocket. She tried to snatch it from, but I was quicker. „But I want something in return..."

„Oh come on, I will be late." She rolled her eyes and sighed. „What is it?"

„A kiss." I said like it was nothing. It actually wasn't. We were roommates for years now and I always had a thing for her.

„What?!"She screamed in disbelief. „No way!"

„Then no perfect match for your outfit." I shrugged and put the lipstick back in my pocket.

I saw her inner fight before she said: „Fine! But let's make it quick." She stands up on her tiptoes so she can reach my lips andgive me a quick peck on lips. But I pulled her closer and kiss herproperly. I thought she will pull away but she didn't.

„Itwas a dirty trick from you how to steal a kiss from me, huh?." Shesmiled.

I give her a little nod.

„Well,I need some fresh air now." She stands up and stretches her back.

Ireached for my beanie, but it wasn't there.

„Lookingfor something?" Liz ask me.

„Yeah,my hat. The grey beanie." I look under the bed.

„Oh,that thing. I don't know honey, probably no perfect match for youeither." She shrugged with a malicious her lips.

„Youdidn't..."

Andwith that smile, she left the room.
