The next morning I wake up in pain in a strange bed. In the arms of a person I like a lot, who also likes me a lot...it's Marshall. He is still sleeping and to be taken from the non-existent sunlight, it is probably just 7 o'clock or so... I turn to Marshall and look at the wound he received from my father yesterday on his forehead. Ouch, it doesn't look right. Then he opens his eyes and looks at me sleepy.
"Wha-..."
He then says...
"Uhm...good mornin'"
I'm just smiling because I have no idea what to say now... it's already a bit embarrassing...
"Oh, good mornin'"
Then he smiles at me and closes his eyes again.
"So, what do we want to do today?"
"I don't know, what about Lily?"
"Ah, I'll take her to kindergarden..."
"And than?"
"We could..."
"Go on a trip?"
Then I ask a little unsettled...
"Yeah, why not...to where?"
"I don't know, but...how?"
"I don't hav'a car..."
"Hmm..."
"At first we should eat somethin'"
"Yeah, sounds good..."
"I'll wake up Lily"
"Okay"
Marshall gets up, carefully gives me a kiss on the forehead and puts on sweatpants. He opens the door and goes to the hallway. I also get up and secretly put on my things from yesterday. I would probably be a little embarrassed to change in front of Marshall.
I'm also going out the door. The door in the hallway next to us is open. This is Lily's room. Marshall is standing in there and puts on her socks. He looks at me and I smile at him.
"Hey Josie..."
Says Lily with a joyful voice...
"Hey Lily, how did you sleep?"
"Great"
She laughs totally cute, jumps up and tries to run away. Marshall pulls her back and pulls her a sweater over her undershirt.
"Wait Lily, we aren't done yet..."
"Marshall..."
Finally, he lets her go and she walks straight through on the sofa. She almost throws herself on it. We smile and follow her. Finally, we sit at the table. My eyes wander to the clock, which is hanging above us. Oh, already 9 o'clock, but it doesn't really look like it outside. It's rather greyish, cold and foly...actually quite uncomfortable. It's already quite cold, I'm shaking slightly... I only have a T-shirt and a pair of jeans on. And in such a trailer it doesn't exactly get warm...
"You're could?"
Ask me Marshall...
"Yeah...but it's fine"
"No, no, I'll give ya' a hoodie..."
"Marshall, it's fine, really..."
"No, just wait..."
He gets up, goes to his room and comes back a few seconds later with a big gray hoodie in his hand. He holds him up to me and smiles with relief. I take him with a smile on my face.
"Can you turn around please?"
I ask him, it's kind of embarrassing...
"Uhm...yeah, sure..."
He says slightly insecure, scratches his neck and turns around. I pull my T-shirt over my head and finally throw Marshall's hoodie over...
"Okay, I'm done..."
He turns around and pulls up a corner of his mouth.
"Suits good..."
"Thank ya'"
Slightly embarrassed I smile, well, the hoodie may be a little big, but it is comfortable and warm. He also smells a little like Marshall...
Then Marshall looks at the clock and his look immediately becomes a little more frightened.
"Oh Shit...it's too late... Lily, you have to go to the kindergarden...!"
"But I don't want to..."
"You have to! Hurry up!"
He runs to Lily, puts her on a chair, puts on her shoes and jacket. He grabs a small backpack and puts it on Lily's back. He puts on a jacket and shoes and then looks at me expectantly.
"Wanna come with us?"
"Uhm, yeah..."
I hurry up and we run out of the door together. Marshall grabs Lily and sits her on his arm.
"Only 3 Minutes...we have to get the bus..."
"Oh Shit..."
We run, run until we see the bus stop. Once there, Marshall puts Lily down and we take a breather first. A short time later, the bus is already coming. I go in first and sit down in an empty 2-seater seat. Marshall takes Lily on his lap and sits down next to her...
"That was close..."
Does he think then...
"Yeah..."
Then Lily leans against Marshall and falls asleep. Kind of cute...he holds her by the back with one hand and then looks at me. He smiles contentedly and I have to smile too...
