Love is blind

Julia

In the shower I was able to recover a bit. I have to for Sem. I don't want him to see how much this is affecting me. That I blame myself for never noticing. That would only make him feel guilty and that's the last thing I want. I enter the living room, where Kimberly is waiting for me. As soon as she sees me she immediately stands up and gives me a hug. "Are you okay? ". I nod. "By the way, I will introduce myself. I'm Julia and who are you? ". Kimberly laughs. She looks very different. Normally she always straightens her hair. Only if she doesn't have to leave the house does she sometimes want to skip it, so now she has a beautiful bunch of curls. She also always has quite a bit of make-up on her face, which is not necessary for anything. I always enjoy it so much when I see her without makeup. She also has no make-up on and is wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. "Sorry, I'm Kimberly. I'm waiting for my beautiful girlfriend. You kind of like her." I kiss her. "I like this style. You have really beautiful curls and I really don't understand why you always wear make-up. You really don't need it". Kimberly gives me a smile. "Thank you. I will straighten my hair less often. Especially for you. I use the make-up so that when I am without make-up I can also go outside without people immediately recognizing me". I nod understandingly. "I thought it was for that. Are you sure you want to come? ". She nods. "I really want to come along. We just have to be a little careful. I don't think it's very helpful if people recognize me and see us together. So if you prefer that I don't go with you, you have to say it honestly". I give her a hug. "I want nothing more than for you to come along. So shall we go? Otherwise we will be late".

I stare out the window in the car. Kimberly put her hand on my knee. She makes me feel like she's there for me. It's so nice to feel that and to know that she's really there for me. "By the way, I will be in town with Sem later. He really needs new shoes". I start the conversation, so as not to get too caught up in my thoughts. "Do you like doing it with the three of us? Then we can go somewhere to eat afterwards. Anyway, I was going to ask you to spend the evening with three of us." I get a smile on my face. I can tell from everything that Kimberly really missed Sem last week. "That sounds like a very good plan, but aren't we just looking for the problems? ". I glance at Kimberly and see her shrug. "I don't think people recognize me very quickly now. Almost everyone thinks I'm in Italy now". I nod. I'm also really looking forward to doing something with the three of us. I really need Kimberly at the moment to keep me calm a bit. "Speaking of Italy. What came out of your meeting this morning?". Meanwhile we have arrived at the soccer club and Kimberly parks the car. "They found a location, less than half an hour from home. We'll start filming on Monday." I look at her with a smile. I'm relieved to hear that. "That sounds much better than Italy". Kimberly also has a beautiful smile on her face. "Indeed. Now I can just sleep every night in my own bed or at least in my own house". She gives me a wink. "You say it like you're not going to sleep in your own bed. Are you going to sleep on the couch?" I burst out laughing when Kimberly makes an attempt at looking very pathetic, but she fails miserably. "Would you like to sleep with me?" I shake my head. "I intended to sleep in your bed. But if you decide to sleep on the couch, then I might as well sleep in my own bed." Kimberly gets a big smile on her face. "I didn't want to assume you'd come to sleep with me, but I hoped." I nod understandingly. "I missed sleeping together. You're not the only one who sleeps better when we together. The past two nights I finally slept well after a long time. If you agree, I'd like to move up a bedroom". She gives me a lovely kiss. "I think that's a yes," I say laughing. To which Kimberly nods enthusiastically. "And now it's time to get out. The match can start at any moment." After I have said that, we first share the necessary kisses before we get out. I'm really have to remind that I can't kiss Kimberly outside the house. That is going to be quite a task.

When we walk to the soccer field I really have to restrain myself from grabbing Kimberly's hand. This is all going to be much more difficult than I thought. Sem has just finished the warm-up when we arrive at the field. He comes running towards us right away. "Kim, you're here too," he says enthusiastically. He gives her a hug first and then me. "Now I want to see how good you really are. You're going to do your best to keep me awake," she says laughing. "I will score especially for you today, but I have to go in now". He immediately runs away again. Kimberly and I smile at each other. "I don't think he likes me being there very much." I gently push her away. "Keep your distance for a while." She looks at me questioningly. "I want to do things that are not so smart". I can tell by her smile that she understands me. "I'll go to Silvia. I saw it on the other side. Then you can cool off." She gives me a wink. "Very smart. I'm going to get some coffee. Can I bring something for you and Silvia? ". She nods. "You can get me a bottle of water. I think you'll make Silvia happy with a coffee." I go to the cafeteria and Kimberly walks towards Silvia.
