Bittersweet

The kids from yesterday

"You're pretty heavy", Bert said after I sat on top of him for a while.

I frowned
"Are you trying to say that I'm fat?", I asked jokingly bouncing on top of him

"No of course not you're perfect. Maybe you gained a bit of weight during the last weeks but not much", he shrugged.

I let myself fall sideways so I was no longer straddling him.
I looked down on me.
Actually I did have gained weight.
Probably because of all the food Bert brought to our dates.

"Maybe I should start a diet?", I murmured pinching my tummy

"No, baby don't say that", Bert groaned, "I'm sorry I mentioned it just forget it"

I frowned but decided not to go further.

"So what are we going t-...", Bert was interrupted by his own phone playing 'TNT' by AC/DC.
An incoming call.

He groaned again and checked his screen.
Faster than expected he turned the screen away from me and I tried to tell myself that he had just lost the grip on his phone.
Bert wouldn't keep a secret from me.

"E-Excuse me", he murmured and got up quickly and disappeared in the bathroom to actually receive the call.

Should I...
No I shouldn't spy on him...
But...

As quiet as possible I got out of bed and sneaked to the closed bathroom door.
I didn't even want to listen but my mind just couldn't help itself.

"I know I'm gonna be home soon", Bert said In a sweet, soothing voice

Home? Was somebody waiting for him?

"I'm out with a friend", I heard him say

Unfortunately I couldn't hear the other person on the phone

I felt a little sting in my heart.

Out with a friend
That's not really what I wanted to hear.

"Yes I'll hurry up.", a little pause, "I love you too"

I frowned
Who the hell was he talking to?

But before I could actually think about it I heard Bert sigh and end the call.

Shit

As fast as possible I jumped on the bed and threw the sheets over me
Right when I actually laid down the bathroom door opened and a rather annoyed Bert stepped out.

I didn't want to seem to curious when I asked "Who were you talking to?"

"It was... My mother", he said picking up his shirt and putting it on, "I'm sorry baby but I need to go home now"

"Did something happen to your mother", I asked worried

"No she just wants to spend some time with her favourite son", he chuckled nervously, "I'll text you later okay, babe?"

"S-Sure", I frowned as Bert leaned over me to peck my lips before he disappeared through the front door as fast as he had stepped in and I was alone again.

I sighed
Maybe I could take a shower to kill some time
But I already took a shower...
But I could really use another one
My skin felt way too sweaty...

"Oh fuck it", I said to myself knowing that I didn't have anything better to do anyways and decided to take another shower

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bert didn't text me that night.
And he ignored all of my texts.

I didn't know why though

Did I do something wrong?
