This belgian boy of mine // Loïc Nottet

Part two - criminal minds

So, the girl I just met asked me if I wanted to go to Belgium with her. It was strange, oh so strange, and I was going to say no, but something came across my mind. This was one chance. I would never see him if I didn't say yes.

"Why not"

I couldn't realize what I just said. It was so scary, but yet so exciting. My whole life had been boring so this was a feeling I'd never had.

The taxi driver looked at us both with a huge smile. I think we all were very suprized by what just had happend.

"Oh god", she said again. "But well, let's go then.". She smiled.

She put her huge bags in the back of the car and then we took off.

-

"Lena Eriksson", she introuduced herself. "It's a pleasure meeting you, stranger girl"

I laughed, and replyed "Hedwig Dahlgren, it's really fun meeting you too, stranger girl Lena Eriksson."

We said nothing for perhaps fifteen minutes, but there were no awkward silence, untill I asked her something.

"Lena..", I said. She looked at me curious.

"I have nothing, absolutely nothing. I don't even know you"

"Stranger girl", she said. "We get to know each other, and well, you saw my bags right? We can share. I think we have the same size", said Lena.

When I look back at it now I'm curious why I didn't think about anything more than I did. Money, passport, clothes, contacting everyone. It was all very strange. Very strange.

-

We arrived at Stockholm Arlanda. I felt nervous, really nervous.

"Oh, you know that I have no passport and um, you know.. things.", I started.

Lena just looked at me with a big smile, and said "It's okay. We can run if that's neccesary".

So, I walked into the airport with a girl I'd known for 30 minutes. We had three bags, and we where going to Belgium. It felt good.

She pointed at a store with sunglasses.

"Hedwig, we need to look cool", she said. She looked at my outfit and laughed "... and you need some new clothes"

"But hey, I have no money, remember?", I told her.

Lena did not answer me. Instead, she took the sunglasses she had pointed at, in her bag withouth buying them. I got scared. Who is this girl I'm with? A criminal?

"What are you doing?", I asked her. She smiled to me and gave me a pair. "Take them, no one will ever notice"

At this point, I should've realized something was wrong. I should've taken the bus back home. But I took the pair of glasses, in my bag, and walked away from the store. The worst thing was that it felt good.

"How are we going to solve the problem with your friend's ticket?", I asked her nervously. "I need her passport, you know"

Lena smiled too me and whispered in my ear "I have no tickets, all I have is tickets for Loïc's show"

Again, I felt nervous.

"Wait what? How are we going to do this?", I asked her.

She smiled. "This is not a criminal act Hedwig, cool down. I know the boarding people, trust me"

I was a criminal, with a stranger girl going to Belgium to meet the love of my life. And I trusted her.
