After the initial excitement caused by the arrival of the new year was over, Grietje said her goodbyes, saying that she would spend the night with her new boyfriend. Maud's co-workers took the hint and also said good night.


"OK. Evi is going to sleep with me in my room. You 6 can do whatever, there is enough room for everyone." Maud had already become the type of drunk that has no time for pleasantries and left hand in hand with Evi, who no longer spoke anything.


Dirk got up from the couch where he was sitting and pulled Lotte with him, going up the stairs behind the first two that left us. Lotte let his gaze rest on me until it was no longer possible. I followed her with my eyes until she disappeared from the living room.


"I think I want to go home..." I heard Tulip whisper to Timo. "I wanted to take a shower before going to bed, Maud spilled wine on me at least twice."

"We are going to sleep at home." Timo said to me and Yoongi. "Tell Maud and thank her for her hospitality for us?"

"Sure." Yoongi replied.


We watched the last couple leave the room and heard the front door close.

Yoongi got up from the chair where he was sitting and came to sit beside me.


"What do you want to do now?" He asked, putting my hand in his. He had the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards and I recognized his expression of satisfaction.

"I don't know, I feel tempted to stay, because it was my initial plan and because I know that breakfast will be fine." I answered bluntly.

"Can I sleep with you here?" His speech was a little unsure, maybe my previous answer was not the one he wanted to hear.


I thought carefully before answering him again.


"Yes, you can. We can sleep in the ground floor's bedroom, where the bed is bigger." I saw his smile grow on his face.


He stood up, still holding my hand, and pulled me into the room at the foot of the stairs, across the hall.

The room was also warm like the rest of the house. The heating here must be central and the heat comes from the floor. We contemplated opening a breach in the window to compensate for the heat, but in this room the window is actually a sliding door and I don't feel comfortable sleeping in an open room in a house without gates.

I sat on the bed and he sat next to me. I bent down to untie the laces on my sneakers and he did the same, but stopped shortly thereafter.


"Do you want to smoke another cigarette?" He invited me up from the bed.


I followed him out of the room until he stopped in the kitchen and picked up a bottle of white wine that had only half of its liquid left.


"Want to drink?"

"Sure" I replied sweetly.
