Antwoord - Joost Klein

5.

"What do you mean you only have one bed?" I asked the receptionist at the motel.

(I just cringed at myself as I wrote that, but I have never used the most famous phrase in the Wattpad history, so I felt the need to do it)

"Sorry we are all booked up because of the truck convention tomorrow morning" She answered while pointing out on the numbers of trucks that were parked outside of the motel. They were lined up like candy.

After we called for roadside assistance, they drove the car off to a mechanic but said it would first open in the morning, so we had to find somewhere to sleep for the night. A motel wasn't far away so the man drove us to it. However, we stumbled on a new problem.

"Is it at least like two twin beds that have been pushed together?" I asked in hope, but she gave me nothing as she shook her head 'no'. "It's fine, we'll take the room" I exhaled loudly.

I looked back at why we were here in the first place. Joost sat on the couch as he ate the last few bites of that motherfucking cinnamon bun. I swore cinnamon buns had and would always haunt me.

He looked so pleased with himself as he was enjoying it. I swore my hatred for that man just grew 10 more inches. I dangled the keys to get his attention to which he piped his head up.

"Why do you only have one key?" He questioned.

"There was only 1 room, but you are more than welcome to stay here in the lobby which you rightfully deserve since you're the reason why we are here in the first place" I made my annoyance clear, so he understood how done I was with his bullshit.

"If you had just driven like a proper person then we wouldn't be here in the first place" he said but he damn right knew it wasn't now he needed to fuck with me.

I gave him a quick glance before grabbing my backpack and computer. He followed close behind me as I checked for room number 69. We had to go upstairs to find our room at the very end of the hall.

When I unlocked the door there was a queen size bed in the middle of the room. There was a desk with a chair up against the window with a tv in front of the bed. There was a small bathroom at the end. It was a motel, so I didn't expect much, but compared to paying 60 euros to be here, it was overselling it.

Joost threw himself onto the bed with open arms as he bounced on it. I rolled my eyes as I set up my work computer at the desk.

"So, who gets the bed?" Joost wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Just take it, I won't bother you too much" I said while looking at him from the side.

I opened the computer as I got ready for a long night filled with work. If I wasn't able to sleep, then I could at least catch up on the work that I would miss since my trip had already been shortened so far.

"What do you mean? Do I not even have to fight for it?" He questioned while plopping his elbows up so his head could rest on his hands. His feet behind him then started dangling in the air.

If it wasn't Joost Klein, then I would almost have called him baby girl from that position he was in.

"No, my boss's friend says that I have to have a whole tour planned out by the time I get back to Berlin so I can't really waste it on sleeping" I explained to him.

"Well..." He hesitated for a quick moment but decided against it. "Fine with me. I need my beauty sleep"

"You definitely needed" I uttered under my breath but loud enough for him to hear.
