I woke up late, it was already after 10 o'clock when I reached for my phone. Hugo let me know that he arrived well. 'Thanks for letting me know.'
I had a message from Lucas 'enjoy your day at the beach, jealous man lying here in a hospital bed.'
'I will send you some pictures later, but maybe you will only become more jealous seeing them?'
'Probably, but maybe it will give me more strength to fight.' he messaged back.
I had a message from Iris telling me that she would pick me up at 10:45.
Oh my, that's in 20 minutes. 'I just woke up; I'm going to take a quick shower. Come in when you arrive.'
'Okay, already on my way.'
I was still in the bathroom when I heard Iris enter "I brought coffee for you two!" she yelled when she entered the apartment.
"Almost ready!" I yelled back, putting on my black bikini, shorts and a white top. I took one off Hugo's old hoodies from college that he left because I wore it and went to the kitchen.
"I got you a latte macchiato." Iris said while she handed me the coffee.
I groaned, my favorite. I took a sip and savored the flavors. "Thank you, Iris."
"I got one for Hugo too. Is he still asleep?"
I pulled out some eggs and bacon "do you want breakfast?" She shook her head and took a seat at the table. "What is going on Rose? Where is Hugo?"
"Hugo and I broke up Friday."
"What? What happened? Why didn't you call me?"
"You know that I took the afternoon off Friday?"
"Yeah, you wanted to surprise him."
"He was asleep when I came in. I spent the afternoon at the hospital with Lucas. When Hugo let me know that he was awake I got home."
"What made you break up?"
"It started with an argument about him shaving off his beard."
"He shaved? How long did you ask for that?"
"That's what I said to. He shaved it because a coworker gave him a remark."
"Stupid man." Iris muttered under her breath.
"When I told him that we would be going to the beach today..." I sighed "he didn't like it, at all, I tried to explain to him that I liked the beach and that he could, for once, come with us. But yeah, you know him."
"Yep." She rolled her eyes. It was never a secret that Iris wasn't a huge fan of Hugo, she never was and vice versa, he didn't like her much.
"I made dinner, and we made up in some sort. But then..." I exhaled "he handed me a stack of papers."
