WITHOUT A BLUSH

"always thought you would miss me too much to rush
didn't take you too long to forget all about us
should i have let you be any more than a stupid crush?"

Michelle paced back and forwards in her dimly lit apartment. He said he would call her when he got home, anytime now right? Right? I mean she had already had time to unpack her suitcase, take a long bath and eat some takeaway chinese food. With spring rolls! He should've been able to call hours ago!

She plopped down of the sofa and sighed deeply. Maybe he'd just fallen asleep. He would prob-

*buzz* *buzz*

Michelle attacked the phone on her coffee table and quickly pressed answer.

"Hi?" she asked.

"Hello Michelle. Sorry I called so late, I was stuck in traffic"

"It's okay" she said and smiled at the familiar sound of his voice. "Did you make it back home safe?"

"Yeah, I miss you though..."

"I miss you too" she said. Matthías went silent and she could hear some unintelligible words in Icelandic in the background.

"I'm gonna have to go but I'll talk to you later right? Love you!" he said hurriedly before hanging up.

"Love you too" she mumbled.

Michelle slumped down in the sofa again. She had expected a bit longer call, he was probably just tired. They would get more time to talk tomorrow and then everything would be just like it was before.

Michelle cuddled up under her blanket and put on one of her favorite episodes of The Office on her tv in an attempt to feel a bit better. She almost finished the episode when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Sólbjörts face, she was trying to facetime her. She quickly brushed away some hair from her face before pressing answer. As she did Sólbjört appeared, dressed in a long-sleeved dress with flowery pattern and sparkly makeup.

"Hi Michelle!" she shouted through the loud music and chatter in the background.

"Hey, how are you?" she asked curiously.

"I'm good, were at a party"

"Really, a party? Is everybody there?"

"Uhm yeah, except for Klemens. He wanted to stay home with Ronja and Kyrja"

"Oh..." Michelle said in disappointment. Had Matthías really went to a party instead of talking to her? She didn't wanna be controlling but why didn't he just tell her?

"Didn't you know? I thought Matthías told you when he called?"

"No, he didn't..." Michelle said quietly. "He barely even talked to me"

"Don't be sad, I'm sure he has an explanation. Let's go question him right now as a matter of fact" she said in an attempt to cheer her up. "Let me just turn you around" she said as she changed the view so Michelle saw the party instead of Sólbjörts face.

"Can you see well?"

"Yeah"

"Then let's go find your moron of a boyfriend" she said as she walked around the crowded house in the search for Matthías.

"Hm not in here, look there's Andrean. Say hello to Michelle, Andrean!"

"Hi Michelle!" he shouted and blew a kiss at the phone making her smile slightly.

"Let's see if he's in the lounge" Sólbjört said and walked to the other side of the house where she slowly turned her phone around looking for Matthías.

"I don't think he- OH SHIT!" she exclaimed as they both saw him kissing a pretty brunette at the bar. This certainly wasn't what Michelle had expected.
