"What we have to lose"

20

The following week started relaxed. We had two days at the factory and fly out to Bahrain on Wednesday. I had already packed my suitcase on Sunday but re-checked what I put in there today again. I had appointments at work with the boys as usual and everything was how it's supposed to be.
I decided to go grocery shopping because I want to take some snacks with me to Bahrain. I grabbed all of it and drove back to my apartment.

I had a long session with Max on Tuesday due to some problems on his knee. After working with it for a while I decided to tape it. He thanked me afterwards and asked if he could come over later so we can drive to the airport together tomorrow. I agreed on that and walked out of the factory. Arriving back home I placed my suitcase in the living room, putting all the important things nearby so I won't forget anything (as you can see, always double checking). The door bell rang and I opened it. Max came in, placed his suitcase next to mine and said "Look I brought sushi.". We sat down on my couch, turning on the TV for some background noises and enjoyed the sushi.
"Daniel told me you were at his place a few nights ago, I want you to know you can always call me ok?" Max says. "I know thank you so much for that, in general both of you are taking so much care of me." I replied. "So what's with you and Daniel?" Max asks interested. "What do mean with 'you and Daniel'?" I ask in return, pointing out the 'You and Daniel'. "You cannot tell me that nothing happened between the two of you." Max replies. "Why does anyone think that, Blair thought that as well." sarcastically laughing I wonder how they come up with that. "Sorry just a random question." Max answers but I saw the little smirk on his face.

We kept the conversation going, talking about our parents and friends we have back in Holland, finding out that we live close to each other and that some of our friends from Holland know each other. "Shall we go to bed?" I ask Max and he nods. I changed into my pajamas and laid down in my bed. Max laid down next to me and we both drift off to sleep.

Daniels POV:
Today is Wednesday, we fly to Bahrain today. I got ready and grabbed my suitcase, taking the elevator to floor 3. I stepped out and rang Amilia's bell. We didn't talk about it but I thought we could drive to the airport together. When the door was opened I saw an unexpected face - Max. "Oh hi Daniel, Amilia is ready in a few." he says, smiling at me. I don't know why but I didn't expect this. I thought Amilia would open the door and I would see her beautiful smile. "So you stayed the night?" I ask, trying not to sound to concerned or jealous. "Yes i practically invited myself because we all know I would miss the flight if I have to get up by myself." Max says laughing. I just laughed as well and agreed on that. Stop interpreting things that are only made up in your head Daniel. I had to admit that I felt jealous when Max opened the door. I know that he really just wants to be friends with her but my head made up scenarios that made me question that. "Daniel hi, I'm almost ready just need to find my shoes." Amilia smiles at me while coming out of the bathroom.

We drove to the airport and I calmed down about the previous situation. I decided to ask Max later today about it and it'll be fine. I never thought that she'd stay in my thoughts like that. When she first arrived here and was introduced as our physical therapist I was happy because we got along very well from the beginning. Never did I imagine that I kinda got feelings for her. I don't know in which ways but there is something between us. And she can't deny that either. I saw her looks when she was in my hotel room in Australia. There was a short moment where I thought she feels the same. I know I interrupted it back then, but since then I can tell the feelings evolving.

Amilia's POV:
We sit in the plane now on our way to Bahrain. I listened to music while checking the work plan for the rest of the week. I wasn't able to concentrate though because I had to think about the look on Daniel's face this morning. Max opened the door because I was panicking finding my shoes. When I saw Daniel he looked kind of...disappointed. Was it because he didn't expect Max to open the door? Was he jealous because he thought there was something going on between Max and I? Since I couldn't find the answers to that I tried to focus on my laptop.
Do I have feelings for him?....I remember that one moment when he looked deep into my eyes in the hotel....there was a second where I thought that we'd kiss. Anyways....
