Ch. 16

Aria was said goodbye with hugs, kisses, cell phone numbers and a few tears. Nobody would have given her that. That she is so committed to Mia. It's unbelievable how much the women have accepted her here. Aria deserves not only Mia's respect, but lifelong gratitude as well.

Mia would never have made such a fuss if it were just about her date. But then he spoke of a second chance for Emilia. That was just too much. At first she really wanted to go. But with every word Jack said and every look in his eyes, her protective wall collapsed. She painstakingly built it up in the hours before the decision and with just one sentence she simply melts away.

Sophia was also given a warm farewell. Mia is looking forward to the day off. She has to sort her thoughts and decide if it's all worth it. Of course it is, but ... your feelings are going crazy. Sighing, she gets ready and slips into the kitchen. It is unusual to wake up alone in your room. She already misses seeing Finn and Sophia cuddling or how Sophia woke her up in the morning. So far only Emilia is downstairs. She is usually the last to get up. "Tomorrow!", Now it is time to put a smile on your face. "You don't have to pretend. We both know that we will never become friends." The black-haired snake hisses. This is going well.

“ Did you know that we got really close on our photo shoot date? We laughed so much. ”That is a really weak attempt to lure her out of the reserve. “Do you remember yesterday? You almost got kicked out. Stop playing yourself. Nobody will buy that from you. ”As expected, Emilia still does not give up. "What the hell? I'm still here after all and you, my little gray mouse, almost went VOLUNTARY yesterday. Now the chance is pretty high that you will fly next week. Who wants someone who gives up because of the smallest details and almost collapses? You poor unstable thing. ”Mia has to answer that? Doesn't she lower herself to Emilia's level then?

Before she can respond to something unwanted, someone comes tiptoeing into the kitchen. "Tomorrow you two.", Lola's eyes are still half closed and it takes a moment until she realizes what the mood is. "Come on. It's Sunday. The stress-free and jackless day. Tomorrow OK? Put yourselves on again tomorrow. ”“ I won't let myself be told by a peasant trampoline who disguises himself as a slut when I have to fight my fights. ”With that she struts out of the room. "That can be fun."

Jack lay awake half the night. He can't get what happened last night out of his head. First Mia wants to leave voluntarily, then she indirectly reveals to him that she has a crush on him and to top it off, Aria gets out to give Mia her place again. She was so happy to stay here.

Somehow he imagined it all to be easier. No jealousy, no catfight, or such ambiguous feelings. Well, only two more weeks. Then the spook is over and hopefully he has chosen the right one.

" Well, my friend? You liked that, didn't you? That the women rag around you and you watch comfortably. ", Finn hasn't exchanged a word with him since yesterday. “I didn't mean that at all. I didn't do anything. I only went out with them. That that has such consequences ... "" Come on, you have to notice how critical the situation in the villa was. Emilia strutted around like a horse. Summer shone like the sun. Lola has opened up to you like never before here in Berlin and Aria has become nicer and nicer. The shy little Aria grew up because of you. Mia was a pile of misery. Jack, you're going too fast. ”“ Too fast? I just followed what my feeling told me. In addition, from now on nobody talks about the dates anymore. "

Mia, Summer and Lola have made themselves comfortable by the pool. Emilia twisted herself somewhere in the house. She's probably making plans for revenge right now, but she doesn't care. At least not yet. Mia has closed her eyes and is, as far as possible after yesterday, relaxed and satisfied. Summer and Emilia flank them and sizzle to themselves. “I'll get something cold. Does anyone want something from you too? ”, Summer stands up. "Ice cold water, please." "And a Tequila Sunrise." "I shouldn't have asked.", She disappears into the house. "I know how you feel!", She looks surprised at Lola. “Well, I also changed a lot after moving, but I did it consciously. You notice how different my two personalities are. You, on the other hand, only gave yourself to your feelings and lived. I understand why you feel uncomfortable, but the rest of it comes from feeling something for Jack. Maybe more than us. Mia you don't change. Can it be that Jack is the first for whom you have serious feelings and that everything just scares you? ”Mia listens to herself. Had she ever been really in love? In elementary school she had a crush on a boy and she got her first kiss from a guy who was totally drunk. She has to admit that she doesn't have much experience in this area. Is that why she is so hysterical? Is that why she is experiencing it so intensely? “How do you know that?” “I've already got it all behind me. Don't worry, it'll wear off soon. "

At that moment, Summer comes back. She carries a tray on which the drinks are. "Butler Summer, at your service." With an exaggerated bow, she turns off the Tequila Sunrise and the water. "Is there anything else I can do for your well-being?"

The three burst out laughing. Emilia stands out of a window behind them, her face pinched and a murderous look in her eyes.
