Red lights

chapter three

the sound of Glaive's „minnesota is a place that exists" woke me up.

My room was filled with sunlight and my clock ticked rhythmically. Clothes and memories from last night were distributed all over my floor and bedsheets.

I took my phone.
An unknown number was calling.
I had to smile, because I knew very well who it was.

„Good morning" my deep and rough morning voice greeted the brown haired dancer, even though is was 4pm.
„Dream" he softly said
„yep, that's me" I smiled

for a few seconds no one said anything and I leaned back into my pillows. Admiring the mess I made yesterday night.

„Did you sleep well?" I asked
„yeah I did, thank you. How about you?"
„couldn't have been better"

even though he didn't say anything, I knew that he was smiling and I myself was smiling like an idiot.

„you want me to come pick you up?"
„if you still want to, yes"
„ of course I still want to. I'll be there in about an hour."
„alright, see you in an hour"
„see you then, pretty boy"

I hung up and got up to take a shower.
Before leaving the house, I checked myself in the mirror one more time.

My blonde locks were falling into my face and I was wearing cream coloured shorts with a green oversized shirt, combined with my old vans.

After I got in my car to drive to George, I called Sapnap.

„Yo Dream" his friendly voice greeted me
„hey sap"
„wassup?"
„I- nothing really. I wanted to apologise for leaving you all alone yesterday" I felt kinda bad. Originally Sapnap and I wanted to hang around, but after I met George I couldn't focus on anything or anyone else

„shut up" Sapnap said and left me in confusion
„what?"
„shut up Dream. I saw you and that brunette. You don't have to apologise"
„but we-„
„I was busy with some girl anyways. We went to a strip club Dream. What did you expect? That I'll ride your dick? Thanks but no"

I had to laugh.

„yeah to that brunette" I continued
„was it good? He looked as if he couldn't wait to jump on you"
„SAPNAP DONT SAY THAT"
„Why? But tell me how much did you pay? I always wanted to know if boys are cheaper than girls"
„Sapnap we didn't fuck"

he was silent for about two second before he basically screamed: „WHAT"
„We didn't do anything, is that so hard to believe?"
„yes it is"
„why?"
„Dream you're a horny bastard and he's a prostitute"
„I'm not a- He's a stripper not a prostitute"
„that doesn't change anything about his horniness level"

I steered my steering wheel left

„fuck you, you know what?"
„what?"
„I'm on my way to pick him up. We're going to get some food"

Sapnap didn't say anything. He was probably staring at the ground in shock that I am still in contact with George

„you're still there?" I asked him
„I- yes I am. So wait- you didn't sleep with that stripper boy but you asked him out?"
„I mean.. I mean I don't think this is a date, but basically. I don't know"
„Dude you surprise me every other day. Congrats though"

Him congratulating me felt cringe.
I didn't do anything and for George this probably doesn't even mean anything"

„Bro, I arrived now. I'll call you back later or tomorrow. It depens"
„alright have fun dreamy boy" he chuckled
„shut up snapmap" I laughed back before cancelling the call.

When I turned into the Laurenstreet, I could already see the brunette and fuck did he look good.

It was weird to see him in normal clothes though.
He was wearing dark blue mom jeans with a white T-shirt tucked in.
He also wore a lot of jewerely and black converse.
He looked fantastic
