Bed of Lies

12.

"So are you gonna pack or not?" Lando asked as he smiled at me.

"Uh-y-you still want me to go with you?" I stuttered.

I expected him to be mad, that he didn't want anything to do with me anymore, but it seemed as if he didn't care that much.

"Yes of course, guess we have to get to know each other better anyways"

Well that was true. We definitely had to know each other better.

"And eat an hamburger together?" I chuckled. "Oh that's definitely the first thing we are gonna do" he laughed.

He grabbed his phone, scrolled down and did something.

"Molly is deleted and blocked" he said as he gave his phone to me. "Now Ivy, can I have your number?"

"Well of course you can" I nodded, held his phone and put my number in it. I gave him his phone back and that was that.

We didn't talk about it anymore. He didn't mention it anymore.

But I knew it would still bother him, which was normal.

I don't know what they talked about, but knowing Molly, it probably weren't only casual conversations.

But whatever. He was right, we shouldn't talk about it anymore. We should focus on us instead of Molly.

—————————————

So that's exactly what we did. We flew to Belgium together.

I was nervous about it, I didn't know anyone, didn't know Lando all that much either.

Lando booked another room for me, which I was happy about. I like him a lot but not that I want to share a room immediately.

It was also weird to have his number, to text him. But it also felt so good, so familiar.

Lando

Are you in your room?

Yes I am

Okay good then I'll be there in 10
Hopefully you haven't eaten yet?

Oh I didn't
Is this what I think it is?

If you're thinking vegetables...
Then ur wrong

Awww
Too bad
I wanted some carrots

Lando did knock on my door 10 minutes later, with a bag in his hand. He smiled as he held the bag up next to his face. "I brought food"

I opened the door a bit more. "Oh that's the way to my heart"

"Oh really?" He looked at me. "Should've told me that sooner"

I just chuckled, shook my head a little. "What food did you bring? Please tell me it's a hamburger"

"Oh definitely" he nodded, walked to the balcony of my room. It was raining, but we still sat outside. "And a lot of fries"

"Aren't you on a diet?" I laughed nervously. Yes I was still nervous around him, which wasn't that weird I guess.

He was incredibly handsome after all.

"It can be our little secret" he laughed as well.

We had such an amazing evening. We ate the food, which was much better than all the vegetables we usually ate when we were around each other.

It felt good that I didn't have to pretend to be Molly anymore.
That I didn't have to lie to him anymore.

And he wanted to be around me, for me. Not because he thought he was talking to Molly.

But she was gonna figure it out pretty soon, she would know I told him everything.

She wasn't gonna be happy about it.
