Joost And me

I can't remember anything

I didn't even realize I had forgotten my bag at his place, I only realized it when I woke up in Mia's bed.
My intuition told me not to go to my own house but to Mia's house.
I felt sad, I didn't understand why he was suddenly so angry and somewhere I also felt unsafe.

I didn't get to Mia's until seven in the morning. I first took a long walk to clear my thoughts a bit.
When I rang her doorbell, she opened the door in shock and without saying anything to each other we walked to her bed where we went to sleep peacefully together. Her alarm clock on the bedside table read 7:00 am.

When we had slept in, we walked downstairs together again without saying anything to each other. But Mia's eyes looked at me and her eyes speak volumes when it comes to emotions. She didn't seem angry, but I could see that she had a lot of questions.

I had showered with her and when I walked into her bedroom she had left a clean set of clothes for me. Not quite to my taste, but I thought the gesture was sweet. I put on the floral dress, which had an open back, and the underwear she had laid out for me.

She was sitting downstairs with the TV on and was bursting with laughter, she was probably watching Modern Family because that is one of her shows that always makes her laugh a lot.

I came downstairs and Mia turned down the volume on the TV. She grabbed her tea from the coffee table and held it in her hand as she followed my steps to the couch.
I sit down and look ahead.

"Did something happen Mara?" she asks firmly.

"Not necessarily, but I didn't expect last night to go like this"

"No, I understand, you didn't want to pass out either, but it just happened." She takes a sip of her tea before continuing to talk.
"How was it at his house and why were you back so early?"

"Was it his house? How did I actually end up there?" I asked Mia.

Mia suddenly put her tea down on the coffee table and sat up enthusiastically, something she only does when she has something nice to say.

"Okay, look, I'm going to tell you the whole story, but you have to promise me that you won't interrupt me, okay?" She said them laughing.

"Okay, I promise haha" I laughed along with her, but actually I was ashamed deep inside.

"Okay, so look, when you passed out in the middle of the audience, he immediately stopped the show. While he had only been busy for 5 minutes!! His security lifted you out of the audience and afterwards laid you down on a couch backstage, hoping that you would recover."

My eyes widened and I put my hand over my mouth in shame, I wanted to say something and then she said:

"No, no, you promised you wouldn't interrupt me." She put her hands under her legs so she wouldn't make any more hand gestures.

"So the story continues, he had stopped his show and you were laid out on the couch backstage...
Then I was taken out by security and I was asked if I knew you, so of course I said I am your best friend."

I nodded to give her confirmation that I was listening.

"You were actually not doing well at all when you lay there on that couch, you were white as a sheet and your jaws kept moving back and forth. Then Joost came running to me and asked me what had happened and whether you had used anything."

"So I said that you had used Ecstasy and he thought it was really bad that you went so wrong on it, so he offered to take you to a quieter place and let you sleep it off at his house."

"Omg, what then???" I said as I burst out laughing.

"So he picked you up and the three of us put you in his private taxi on the way to his house. He had placed your head on his lap and your feet were on my legs, when we arrived he lifted you inside and laid you on his couch."
"But you were so hot and sweaty Mara that I really had to undress you, I was afraid you would die of overheating or something."

"No, this is all so bad, Mi! I'm sorry I burdened you like that."

"No, no, it doesn't matter, but tell me? What was it like when you woke up? because of course I left to give you your fangirl moment."
She removed her hands from under her legs again and sat upright.

"You know, I'm quite hungry.." I said to Mia and I actually meant to say that I wanted to go to our favorite lunch spot around the corner from her house.

"I'm actually hungry too, let's go eat at Boutanic garden, but then you have to promise me that you will tell me everything there!"

"Okay deal! But it is not a very exciting story, rather strange.."

"Yes, it's possible, but I'm surprised that you're hungry, you must have had a wild night." Mia is now throwing herself off the couch with enthusiasm.

I answer:
"Hmm, anything but a wild night."
"Let's go"
