Say your mine

Evi:
I woke up the next day and got ready for work.
Today it's my turn to make the drinks behind the bar and Alicia does the tables.

Before costumers came in I told her everything that has happened between me and Bill.

"So you guys are together again?"
"Uhm, yes, I think so?"
"You think so?"
"We haven't really said the words. But we both said 'I love you'."

She nods. "I hope you wont regret this. He really hurt you."
"Yeah I know. But.. I know he could have done things differently, but.. I love him."

"I'll support you no matter what, Evi. Just be careful. I know you love him, and I hope he loves you to."

"He does." I say with a confident nod.
"I really believe he does."

The day goes by fast and I'm already on my way home from work.
It's a little chilly and I regret not bringing my scraf.

I open the front door and walk straight to my room, knowing no one is home anyway.
I open the door to my room and stratle for a moment when I see Bill sitting on my bed.

"OMG BILL! What are you doing here? You scared me."

"Waiting for you." He says with the most sweet and innocent smile on his face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"How did you even get in here?"
"Your mom let me in before she left."
I nod, walk towards him and press a kiss on his lips.

"How was the studio?"
"It was fine." Bill says and kisses me back.
"How is the new song?"
"I didn't really have time to work on it."

"I can't wait to hear the full song, I already love it."
I put myself on his lap, wrapping my legs around him and softly press my lips on his.

"What do you wanna do tonight?" I ask him and lean back a little.
He shrugs his shoulders. "I'm pretty tired. Maybe we can just stay here? Or go to my house if you want."

"Nick can't see you here.. I haven't told him anything yet."
"Maybe we should tell him together? Or I can talk to him?"

"Maybe it's better if I talk to him, alone."
"Maybe, Nick hates me."
"He does not hate you. He is just very protective of his little sister."

"Maybe he has his reasons." Bill says as he puts his hands on my hips and pulls me closer to him while he genlty bites my lower lip.

A soft moan leaves my mouth and I close my eyes. "Hm, maybe." I say, kissing him back.

Way to soon I stop the kiss and look at him.
"You should go home, Nick and my parents will be home any minute. I'd like to tell them first before they see you."

"Your mom let me in, remember?"
"I know, but still. I don't think Nick will take it that easy."

"I don't wanna miss you all night." Bill mumbles and looks at me with a pout. "Maybe we can go to the club?"
"Okay. I'll ask if Kim and Alicia are free. You ask the rest. But you really have to go now. See you at eight?" I ramble and stand up, pulling Bill off the bed.

"Okay, see you at eight." He kisses me one last time before he leaves my room.

I had dinner with my family, got ready and waited for Alicia and Kim to pick me up.
We drove to the club together and got inside.
Bill texted me they earlier that they are already inside, waiting for us.

We walk up to the bar, get some drinks and look around the club until we see them standing at a table on the side of the club.

I immediately get a smile on my face when I see Bill and walk up to him, followed by Kim and Alicia.

"Hi." Bill says with a cute smile on his face while he puts his hand on my waist.
"Careful, we are in public, remember?"
I look at him with a grin on my face and gently stroke his chest with my fingertips before I turn away from him.

An hour has passed and the club is getting more and more crowded. It seems like the music is louder then usual, but that might just be me.

"Hi." I hear a familiar voice say next to me.
I turn my head and see Tom, smiling at me, clearly a little uncomfortable.
"Hi," I smile back at him. "so you and Leen, huh?"
I try to break the ice.

I gesture towards Leen, who is dancing with some other girl I haven't seen before.
Tom looks at Leen and then looks at me again.
"She's very pretty, you obviously have good taste." I try to easy the tension between us.

He laughs and nods. "Yes I have."
I put the empty glass on the table next to me.
"Are we okay?" I ask him as I look for eye contact.

"Why wouldn't we be okay?" He looks at me, wondering what I mean.
"I don't know. It's not like we really talked lately."
"I know." Tom sighs.

"I thought we could still be friends." I say softly, but loud enough for him to be able to hear me over the loud music.

He looks at me in surprise.
"Of course we are still friends. I was just-" He takes a little pause before he continues.
"I was just giving you and Bill some space."

"So, we are okay?" I say with a little smile on my face. "We are okay." He nods and pulls me into a tight hug.

Bill:
I see how Tom puts his arms around Evi.
An uneasy feeling rushes through my body.
It seems to last forever before he finally let's her go and I walk her way, grabbing her arm and pulling her with me.

"Bill? Where are we going?" I hear her yelling behind me.
I pull her with me into the toilet booth, lock the door behind us and start kissing her firmly as I grab her face with both hands and push her against the side of the booth.

She kisses me back, wrapping her arms around my waist, pulling me closer.

I bury one hand in her hair and my other hand strokes gently up her thigh, sliding under her dress.

A quiet moan leaves her mouth and she moves her hands to the edge of my jeans, undoing the button and zipper.

I stop the kiss and open my eyes as I remember this is the exact same booth where Tom and Evi had sex. The time I heard her..

She starts kissing my neck, her hands sliding over my back.

I try to push this thought away, try to not picture them together in my head, try not to remember how she moaned his name while he..

I pull my hands away from her body, look into her eyes, before I look away and open the door. "Bill?"

"Sorry, I can't." I walk away from her, softly slamming the door as I leave and quickly fix my jeans before I leave the restroom.

I walk through the crowd, making my way to the exit. Ignoring Georg who yells my name.

The fresh air catches my breath, which was already accelerated.
"Bill?" I hear Evi calling my name.
I keep walking and lower my eyes to the ground, my hands in the pockets of my jeans.

"Bill, it's freezing, you don't have your jacket!" She tries to stop me. "Bill, what's wrong? Can you please just stop walking!"

I slow down my pace, so she can keep up with me. She grabs my arm and pulls it, making me stand still. "What's wrong?" She asks again.

"Why were you hugging Tom?"
She looks at me, confused by this question.
"It was just a hug, I have hugged him before."

"Before you didn't have sex with him." I snap at her.
"Bill, we've talked about this. We are just friends."
"Friends don't have sex."
"So you and Brenda were not just friends than, huh? Because that's what you always said, but you had sex with her to!"

"I'm not hugging her right now, or am I?"
"Me and Tom are just friends. You can't expect me to pretend he doesn't exist."

"You had sex with him in the exact same booth.." I remind her. "All I can think about is you and Tom. It's hard enough as it is, I don't need to see you hugging him."
