After we finished watching the movie Ivan had come home with me and had been living with me for the last few days. As it turns out, he is gay.
On one hand it was a disappointment, loosing yet another chance to getting a boyfriend, but on the other it was a relieve, at least he wouldn't rape me. He was in love with Alex, but Alex saw him more as the annoying little brother and somehow they had become best friends. Not that Ivan was happy with that...
He had not been sleeping in my closet, I happen to have an extra bed. It did become a little crowded though and I was starting to wonder how long Ivan was planning to stay. Especially with Alex coming here all the time now as well. I would ask him that later, first I needed food.
I just got out of bed and wandered into the kitchen getting my breakfast when Ivan suddenly started talking to me. Still half asleep I hadn't even noticed him yet. I looked at him. I hadn't heard what he sad, but he looked kind of frightened.
"What is it?"
"Please tell me honestly Maria. What do you change into every two weeks?"
I looked at him weirdly, not sure what he was talking about.
"On your calender it mentions 'change' every two weeks."
I laughed. "You didn't know? I change into a dragon every two weeks."
I laughed even more as his mouth dropped open. "Seriously?"
"Of course not! You would actually believe that? It just reminds me I need to change my contacts."
"Believe me, with what I've seen in my life I would."
Yes, that concluded it. I really needed Ivan to move out. For the fact alone that my secret was in danger...
I might not turn into a dragon every two weeks, but I do change into a lovebird once a year. One who knows about my obsession for finding love might say I'm a lovebird all year round, but to change into the actual bird is only once per year on the first dawn of summer. That would be in two weeks, where 'change' had a little star.
But I was curious now. What did Ivan know about unnatural occurrences?
Although I felt as if I was positioning me on dangerous grounds I still asked. "Ivan... what did you see in your life?"
He seemed to think for a moment, then spoke: "Maybe I'll tell you some other time, dove."
