Just friends?

Chapter 23

I nod. "Yes, I went to drink something with George, but I think I went a little too far."

I feel something in him changes, but he keeps rubbing my back.

"Max would be angry at me if I came in like this, so I hoped that you were awake."

"Thankfully for you I was."

We stand up. "I'll take the couch, if that's okay."

"If you want to, I could sleep on the couch as well."

"No, it's your room, and I invited myself kind of so you get in your bed."

"Okay, if something is wrong you can come to me."

"I know."

TUESDAY

I wake up to the smell of coffee, and a headache:)

"Good morning Sky, slept well?"

"Yes, but do you have some painkillers?"

"Hahaha of course, you drank too much didn't you?"

"Not funny Pierre."

He gives me paracetamol and a big glass of water. "Do you even remember anything?"

"Ehm nope, not really."

"Oooh that's hard."

"Wat do you want to do now?"

"I would like it to get some rest, yesterday was quite late."

"Yes, do you want to watch a movie?"

"Yeah sure, Stranger things?"

"Perfect."

We sit down on the couch and I cuddle up a bit. Pierre puts his arm around me. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine. Never been better."

He blushes a bit.

"Ohh, are you blushing?"

"No." He turns his head away.

"Look at me please."

"Na ah."

"Gasly, look at me."

This time he does, and I see a head like a tomato. "So you are blushing?"

He looks down.

"It's okay, we all do sometimes."

When it is time to have lunch I finally check my phone, only to see 20 missed calls and a lot of messages from Max. I call him back.

"Hey Sky, where the heck are you? Why were you not answering your phone? Where were you tonight? Why did you leave without saying anything?"

"Max, calm the fuck down."

"Yesterday I went out with George, because you told me to make some friends. I did tell you that, I left a note on the table, you should've seen that. 

I slept on Pierre's couch, because I didn't know when you were going to be back, and I still am with Pierre because we watched a movie. That's also why I wasn't answering my phone, I forgot it. And sorry that I didn't tell you that I was here."

"It's okay Sky, have a great day, bye."

"Bye Max."

Pierre looks at me. "Can we talk?"

"Ugh, another one?"

"It's okay if you don't want to..."

"It's fine, tell me."

"Why did you go out with George? And why did you drink that much?"

I get a little angry. "Why do you care? I'm old enough to know what I can and can't do. Max told me to make some friends, so that's what I did."

"But then why did you drink that much? You're nothing like that."

"Why do you care? You're not my dad, you have nothing to say about me. You're acting like Max just did, thinking that you can decide what I do, but it's none of your damn business."

"I care about you because I love you!"
