Everything's gonna be alright (English)✅

Chapter 17

There is a warm, tingling feeling in me. One thing you feel comfortable with... Then we'll break up again and look at each other. I look into his deep blue eyes with a smile on my face. He smiles at me, puts his hand on my cheek, and Zack, he kisses me again...I take my hand and put it on his neck...so long, I haven't felt so secure and happy...after a few seconds we slowly dissolve again and I start laughing easily. A short time later, Marshall also begins to laugh until we look deep into each other's eyes again...

"Oh Girl..."

He smiles at me, who would have thought it would come this far today?

I smile again and scratch my neck embarrassed...

"Uhm..."

I'm just saying, that's all I can do at the moment...shit, totally embarrassing...what is he supposed to think of me now?

Man Josie, you're really not well anymore...

"I kinda like you..."

"I think it's mutual..."

"Wha-...?"

"Uhm... I like you too..."

I really can't resist my smile...

"We should go to sleep now...right?"

"Yeah..."

"Com'on, I'll show you the bedroom..."

"Oh, okay..."

Marshall gets up and I follow him quietly...we walk past the kitchen, through a narrow passage. There is a door. Next to this one is another one to the side. This is Lily's door. But Marshall opens the other one, there is a quite small bed on the wall. The room is also not very large, but there is enough space for a bed and a desk. He enters and I also enter behind him.

"So, that's it..."

"Okay, thank ya'"

I smile at him and he smiles.

"And if you need somethin'...just ask me...okay?"

"Yeah, I will...good night..."

"Good night, hone-...uhmm... Josie"

I give him one last look and then he closes the door behind me. It's also damn weird to just fall asleep in a strange bed...well, better that way, than "home"...

Wait, I have nothing to do with... Shit...I was guaranteed not to put myself in my underwear in a strange bed...but I have no other choice. I put my sweater over my head and roll my pants off my legs. I put the two things on the chair, which is right next to the bed.

Then, for better or for worse, I'll lie down in bed. It's so strange...I'd much rather be back in Germany now...although, on the other hand, what is happening between me and Marshall is not just possible to suppress...

I turn the light with the light switch above the bed and turn to the side. Suddenly the door opens a gap and light falls into the dark room. Marshall is standing in the door. He is on a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants, which are probably a little too big for him...he has clamped a pillow under his arm...

"The couch isn't that comfortable..."

He then says something childishly about himself. I lean back with my arm and look at him...

"Uhmm..." I smile at him easily...

"Can I sleep next to ya'?"

He says then... I have to think a little bit until I answer. So, I can't imagine that the couch is so uncomfortable... probably just to find an excuse, well, why not...

"Yeah...why not..."

He comes carefully towards me and I slide a little to the side against the wall, then he lies down next to it and adjusts his pillow. On this evening, some thoughts go through my head...for example, that tomorrow would actually be school... actually...then I look at Marshall again...he looks at me, I didn't even notice that, he takes his hand and strokes a strand behind my ear. His hand moves over to my cheek and I smile at him, then our faces come close to each other again and A feeling of happiness spreads in me and I just look at him...

"What about school tomorrow?'

I'll ask him then...

"I don't give a fvck... We'll just stay home..."

He says with a voice that really fits what he said, I just don't give a fvck...

"Oh, okay, I'm fine with that..."

I smile at myself and am just happy to be at this moment, and nowhere else...a month ago I would have thought that I would take the subway in Cologne to school tomorrow, but no, how quickly everything can change...

But I've never really put so much value on school, especially here...
