ABOUT A BOY | SEBASTIAN VETTEL

06

Camilla would describe herself lucky that after she had taken a long nap, Vic had already left. Sure she had enough to explain to him and with him knowing that she had to explain a lot to him, she couldn't let it wait for that long anymore. Penn stayed the night and told her how Vic had watched Jonas' favourite movie, Cars, with him and right before dinner he left. He, of course, left a text message for Camilla to read after she woke up from the nap, asking her if in any way they could talk as soon as possible. The only answer she was allowed to respond with was a yes, but with every suggestion of day Vic gave to her, Camilla felt like it was too soon. She didn't felt ready to tell him. It wasn't fair to Vic. Camilla knew that, but that didn't keep her from cancelling every time they were supposed to go out and talk about it. She wasn't ready for confessing about the big mistake she had made. But when Camilla was busy at work she couldn't help but notice a grinning Anja who came walking back to her desk.

"You and Vic seem to be seeing each other quite a lot nowadays," she said as she sat down on her office chair. Camilla looked at her confused as she hadn't seen Vic since that night that he got to her house without any notice before hands, which has slowly become a week ago.
"What do you mean by that?" Camilla asked instead of ignoring it and keep her attention to her work. She had tried to avoid the topic, Vic, like he was some sort of a bullet. But both Anja and Penn kept trying to talk about him. Penn mostly with the question if she had already told him her story and Anja mostly how the two of them were doing. Camilla had dug herself a hole that only caused more problems with it.

"Well the boy is standing right at the front of the office like a lost puppy," Anja laughed. A shock that went through Camilla's whole body made her sit up more straighter.
"He what?" Camilla asked as if she hadn't heard it the first time. Anja who hadn't noticed the way Camilla suddenly felt unsettled, kept on talking.
"Yeah I walked up to him and when he told me he was looking for you I told him that I was gonna get you. So maybe you wanna help the boy out." Anja hinted, making this time even Oscar look up at Camilla. 

"You said I was here?" Camilla asked in a way that doesn't sound like she wanted him to be here.
"Yeah..." Anja said as she was getting confused with Camilla's behaviour. "You guys aren't fighting or anything, right?"
"No..." Camilla said as her eyes went to the clock that was hanging on the plain white wall. "I just don't have time for him right now." Anja followed Camilla's eyes that was still looking at the clock. When she turned around again to Camilla Anja looked even more confused with her friend.

"We're done in literally five minutes," Anja said as she already started to pack her things up to prove a point that told Camilla that those five minutes doesn't matter to anyone. Camilla decided to just ignore it. She didn't want to start a fight with her friend just because Anja didn't know what was going on. Camilla's eyes concentrated back on her papers in front of her, but sadly her mind wasn't thinking the same thing. She felt Anja giving her a look before she walked away and afterwards Oscar stared at her also. 

"I don't know what is going on, but do you want me to call security to get him out?" Oscar asked carefully. Camilla finally looked up to meet Oscar's eyes. She smiled at him, showing him that she was appreciating his help compared to Anja.
"No, it's fine. But thanks though," she said as her focus was trying to go back to her papers. When she was finished with her work she was one of the last people to go. Oscar had left too and she expected for Vic to be gone too. But when she walked over to use the elevator, he was still standing there. Waiting while being on his phone and leaning against a wall. His eyes shot immediately upwards as he came to notice Camilla. However, Camilla decided to not give him any attention and instead click on the elevator button, hoping for the first time since she worked her that the elevator would be busy. Obviously that wasn't the case as an empty elevator waited for her to get in. She got in and clicked on the lowest level button where she had parked her car. Her eyes stayed down as she saw Vic walk in too. He hadn't said anything yet-.
