I lay between my sheets in my comfy bed, looking up at the ceiling. I follow the crack from the right corner all the way to the middle of the roof where it ends in a little spider web-looking pattern. I've been doing this for the past two hours. I can't get myself out of bed and I actually don't want to. I don't have to work today so I can lay in bed the whole day long if I want to. I slept really bad last night, I can't believe what happened. I can't believe I run into him there of all places. Sure I've thought a lot about him in the weeks since I met him the first time, but it was more a fantasy than anything.
By now I bet Daniel knows about everything and he probably hates me. Who wants to date your friends fuck? Probably not him. I wouldn't like to date anyone Lea's slept with. I still can't believe that they are friends, what are the odds on that? Why don't I watch the news? Read the papers? So I at least could keep the celebrities in check. I've hooked up with two guys from the same team, that's just weird. Specially since I don't even follow sport. Well, Daniel and I didn't really hook up, just kiss. But either way.
I sigh as I hear my phone ring from across the room, it's actually been doing that for a while, but I've been ignoring it. I'm not here! Someone's being very persistent though. I reach out my hand and get the pillow beside me to hold it against my face. I'm not here! Why do they keep calling? I groan as I sit up irritated. I lean over to where my phone lays on the small table.
"What?" I almost yell into the phone.
"Well, hello to you too." Lea's voice say on the other end. I lay down again, taking a deep breath, calming myself down.
"Hi." I say low.
"What's with you?" She asks surprised, I'm usually a very happy and calm person.
"Bad night, bad day, bad life." I say, not sounding gloomy at all. Ha!
"Oh sweetie, what happened?" She sounds worried.
"It's all too much. I can't take it over the phone right now." I say and hope she will drop it.
"Fine, I'll be there in twenty." She say and hang up. I sigh as I set down the phone on the bed, closing my eyes. I guess it would be nice to talk to someone about this, me and my head doesn't always get along. My phone starts ringing again, why did she hung up if she wasn't finished? I wonder about her sometimes.
"What now?" I ask as I put the phone to my ear without looking at it.
"What do you mean?" The lovely voice of Daniel say on the other end. My eyes pop open. Oh shit!
"Oh, hi. I thought you were Lea." I say, feeling my voice being unsteady. Is he calling to yell at me? He must hate me.
"Oh, okey. Hi!" He chuckles. He actually chuckles? He's not mad at me? "So what are you doing?" He ask, sounding very cosy, his voice is so warm. Maybe the nameless guy, who has a name – I just don't know if it's Freddie, Thomas or Link, never say anything? Can that be true? Why wouldn't he tell?
"Nothing special. Laying in bed." I confess and look at the clock, it's noon. Not too weird to lay in bed at noon on a day off right?
"Are you okey? Are you sick?" He sounds concerned, making me smile. Maybe just a little bit weird.
"No, no. Just tired." Are we really not talking about last night?
"Good. What happened last night?" He sound a little sad and I close my eyes, why did I have to think that? What will I say to him? I can't tell the truth, can I? If the nameless guy didn't tell him, should I?
"I don't know..." I breath. I hesitate, I don't know if I can do it. I hate hurting people and this will hurt him bad.
"It's all right, love." He makes a little chuckling sound. "So, do you wanna meet today?" He ask, sounding his normal happy self. I feel so confused. I was not prepared for this side of him, I thought he would be mad or not call at all.
