We eat our spaghetti and slowly it gets dark. It's starting to rain and the sun is already gone anyway... The only thing that hurts my head is me. My arm, of course too, probably broken, but except for the lacerations, it even works...
"What time is it?"
Does Marshall then ask me totally random...
So I'm looking at my watch
"Ehh...21:13"
I say, unfortunately only in German...no idea how to say that in English, that was also something I never quite understood... Marshall just looks at me questioningly, I hold my cell phone in his face and he nods understandably...
"So, what about a TV show?"
Says Marshall as he gets up and puts the empty plates in the dishwasher...
"Yeah, sure"
Yeah, why not...
"Well, we could see a German one if you want...?"
"A German one? What about Lily?"
"She needs to sleep..."
"And you? It's probably hard for you..."
"No, I'll get it..."
"Okay, why not...do you have the German television channels?"
"Uhm, yeah, but I have a question..."
"Yeah, what?"
"Your English...when did you start learning it"
"Yes, since the 1st grade... so 10 years ... Well, you can't travel to Germany and gossip about people in public without them noticing it ... "
"Ah shit..."
He laughs and I laugh a little too. Then he gets up, pushes Lily's chair back and then lifts it onto his arm...
"Lily, it's time for bed..."
"No I don't want..."
"Lily, you're 3 and it's already dark outside..."
His voice gets a little darker, no more like if he were talking to a child. Lily tries to stay, but Marshall has already disappeared with her in a room. She giggles, then he comes out of the door, turns off the light and closes the door again. He stands next to me and looks at me smiling but also inviting. I also get up and we both sat down on the sofa.
Marshall grabs the remote control and turns the TV back on. He pulls his cap off his head and leans against the backrest. I sit down a little shyly next to it and look over to Marshall from time to time...he looks at the TV, I look over at him again. But suddenly he looks at me...
"What did he say?"
Then he asks me...well, well, he can't speak so super German either...
"He just said that the next game is about to start"
"Ah, okay, thank ya'"
He smiles at me, already cute like that, he doesn't even sit 1 meter next to me...
"So, they're talking with slang...you can change the channel if you want... believe me, you'll understand nothin'..."
"Okay...but, can we talk for a few minutes?"
Oh shit...he wants to talk...about what? I'm scared...
P.O.V. Marshall:
So we're sitting on the sofa, I'm leaning against the sofa and looking at the TV. I pretend to understand at least a little bit, but actually I barely understand a single word...keeps my eyes on Josie...damn she looks really cute, I mean what almost happened earlier ...it kind of drives me crazy.
Okay, now I'm going to pluck up the courage and talk to her...about what happened earlier and that I just like her, damn she's just perfect...
"Okay...but, can we talk for a few minutes?"
"Yeah sure..."
At first I wanted to tell her...
"Uhmm... I gotta tell you somethin', well I gotta explain...so...-"
She looks at me expectantly and then nods...
"Uhmm...where do you wanna sleep tonight?"
Suddenly her facial expression softens a bit...
"I don't know...where could I?"
"You can sleep in my bed... I'll just take the sofa..."
"It's fine, I don't want to drive you out of your bed..."
"But I insist..."
"Well..."
Yes, I tried, but well, you can see what happened... I didn't dare...damn Marshall, open your fvckin mouth!
P.O.V. Josie:
Oh shit, at first I was just scared, but then he just asked me where I wanted to sleep... well, great... I had already hoped a little that he wanted to tell me something that goes more in the direction of crush and so on, but then nothing happened... he somehow just seemed confused...
Suddenly Marshall is unobtrusively approaching...I mean, I don't mind...I have supported my elbows on my knees and now lay my palms off in such a way that I only support myself on the sofa... Marshall bends forward and also supports his hands. Now our hands are only a few centimeters away from each other...slowly my hand slips away, towards Marshall, that should probably be on my sweaty palms, probably just because I'm a little stressed right now...which means stressed, rather excited...
I look at our hands and Marshall as well. His hand slips a little closer to mine, so that our fingertips slowly touch...so I look at him and he looks at me, he slightly pulls up a corner of my mouth and I can't help smiling either. My stomach is full of butterflies and I'm not at the TV at all, not for a long time, no...my thoughts are only with our hands, with Marshall and me...
He snakes his little finger around mine and I move a bit to him with my hand. Then his whole hand lies on mine, also consciously...he turns to me and I turn to him. Everything happens just like just now, our faces come close to each other, I lose myself in his blue eyes and he loses himself in mine. Our lips move towards each other and we stop for a moment. He smiles at me and I smile at him. Our lips are not an inch away from each other. And then, suddenly his lips lie on my...
