Ch. 20

Jack is the first to wake up. He knows immediately that someone is in his arms and that it is Mia. One hand is clutching his shirt. Tenderly he strokes a strand of hair from her face. She is completely relaxed. No idea how long he stroked her arm when he suddenly heard a whispered and crumpled: “Come here!”. Mia's head rises. Before he can react, her mouth is on his lips. A light kiss with a slight morning smell, which neither of them bothers at this moment. His hand reaches into her hair to pull her closer. Quite a while later, they end the lazy kiss. Mia opens her eyes for the first time that day.

In the same second she is sitting upright. "What? How? You ...? “, Completely disoriented for a few seconds, his Mia looks totally sexy. You can see exactly when everything comes back to her. “I dozed off yesterday. You could have woken me up. ”“ And missed that fantastic good morning kiss? Never. “, He grins. Which embarrasses Mia. So adorable.

" What time is it actually?" "11 o'clock.", Answers someone standing in the door. Finn. “I think I have deja vu. Out with you. Summer is totally worried about you, Mia! But stay away from Emilia ... something is wrong with her. ", Then he turns to his best friend. "Well, they still know that you and the morning are not exactly best buddies."

Mia scurries away in no time at all. Finn raises an eyebrow. "I caught her yesterday or better this morning and she just fell asleep." "And who slept on the sofa?", Finn knows that no one slept there. "I haven't slept so well as in a long time.", His friend raises his eyebrows. "Oh really?" He doesn't sound convinced.

#

" Hey, there you are at last we were worried.", Summer takes her arm and pulls her into the kitchen. “Come on, eat quickly before Jack comes. It's already an hour late today. Luck for you. "In front of Mia there is already a smeared bread roll on the table. “Thank you!” “Now tell me. Did everything go well with your girlfriend? “, Summer is totally excited. “Everything went well. It's a girl Lara wants to have Sarah baptized her and ... I should be her godmother. "" AAAH! ", A stormy embrace overtakes her. "What's going on here?", Summer interrupts her ecstasy. “Mia will be godmother.” Lola congratulates her. Emilia comes in there. "Slept well?" "Yes, thank you!" "And where did you sleep?", Mia is not sure, but Emilia has such a knowing look on her face. “I stayed with Lara for a long time after the birth. At some point I nodded off. ", Now a diabolical grin spreads on her face. "So it wasn't you, this morning around two-thirty that Jack asked in?" Lola's and Summers heads turn back and forth between them. "I did not say that. It is true. I went home around two. Jack's lights were still on, so he must have seen me and asked me in. He wanted to know how the mother and child are doing and after I asked him for tea, I fell asleep on the couch. ”“ You spent the night with Jack? ”“ Did you want to hide that from us? ”“ I can get it Not. I really thought you were the fairest of them all here. ”The accusations patter down on her. “Nothing happened at all. I fell asleep, woke up and came over. I'm sorry that I didn't wake up again straight away and fell over to you. “, Emilia grins satisfied. Your plan worked perfectly. Now Mia is expelled and Emilia can join the two.

That went really bad for her. When the doorbell rings, Mia moves quickly to avoid giving the other a chance. She opens the door. Jack beams at her. "Stop doing that. Emilia saw this morning that I was with you. Everyone hates me right now. They think I only slept on the couch and still I'm the archenemy now. ", She whispers excitedly. Jack's smile immediately collapses. "What?", His reaction corresponds exactly to hers a few minutes ago.

She accompanies him into the kitchen. "Morning Jack. We don't blame you. You can't help it that she fell around your neck. ”, Emilia is now starting the operation to eliminate Mia. “You did what?” “Great, what else happened? If you've done that, what have you already done? ”, Yesterday we agreed that Emilia is a danger and that we should keep an eye on her. Now that has happened what we wanted to be careful of. It's partly their fault. She went to Jack in the middle of the night and contrary to what you believe now, they even slept in the same bed. Plus this incredible kiss.

“ I'm sorry. I just didn't think last night. I was exhausted. I'm really sorry, you know that I'm not the kind of person who deliberately abuses the rules. ”Jack interferes. "What are you apologizing for? I asked you in and you didn't approach me either. We only talked until you fell asleep. "

Summer gasps. "Why are you protecting her? It's obvious that she tried something. ”What? What was clearly visible? "Your hair is disheveled, your make-up is ruined and your eyes are shiny." Lola must have seen her irritated expression. “This is how you look when you have got up and haven't been in the bathroom to get yourself ready.” They reach for straws and they know that. Something must have been simmering subliminally that they supported Emilia so quickly. "But ..." Lola begins. “Everyone has dates with Jack. Each of us has one day alone. I bet she'll get a lot closer to Jack than I did tonight. ”That clears the discussion / argument for her. "Let's go, Jack.", Shortly before they close the front door, Mia calls over her shoulder. "Think about it."

The day can only get better. She smiles. It will definitely be fun. Then something occurs to her. "Shit!", She stops. Jack ran a little further before he noticed that she had stopped. "Mh?" "I haven't moved yet and I haven't been in the bathroom either.", She moans. Mia doesn't want to go back again. "You can use my bathroom, there is sure to be a toothbrush somewhere." "And my clothes?" "I could get some for you.", Jack offers himself. Should she accept the offer? He'll be watched the whole time and how ridiculous is it that she doesn't dare to go back? "No thanks. I'll get something myself. I'll be at your door in five minutes at the latest, if not something has gone wrong. ”, She tries to make a joke of it. It does not work. Sighing, she turns around. Back to the lion's den.

Maybe they don't even see them. Maybe everyone is too busy rushing over Mia that they don't notice. After her first step into the house, Mia knows that she will not go undetected. Or never was. All three stand in front of her and stare at her. “I just want to get some things to change, please?” Emilia laughs maliciously. "No Way!", Summer looks less convinced and Lola also seems to stumble.

" Okay.", Lola finally makes room for her to squeeze through. “But that doesn't mean that I'm no longer angry. I just don't want you to stink. ”Her eyes twinkle with amusement. "Thank you!"

Half an hour later it finally starts. At this time the tourists will be lining up. "Where are you going?" Mia shakes her head. "You won't find out.", She put her little Nikon in her pocket. There's a match for the funniest photo.

#

He's still in shock. Can girlfriends turn into enemies so quickly? Sure, it wasn't fair to the others what happened, but it wasn't planned.

He's a little worried about Mia's stuff. The day before yesterday her shirt was torn and the lucky charm burned. Emilia had no reason to do something like that. Not that this is a good reason now, but it would be trustworthy. What about Lola and Summer? Are you really that quick to convince? Will you follow Emilia's example?

" We're here.", Mia's voice pulls him out of his thoughts. He slips out of the car full of curiosity. Jack sees the people standing in a row. Everyone wants to go into this house.

“ Are we going to Madame Tussauds?” “Yes!”, Mia beams from one ear to the other. Honestly? He'd only been to the wax museum once as a toddler. Back then, Jack thought it was all pretty scary. He smiles at the memory. "Here we go!"

They queue for half an hour before they are finally let in. First they are photographed next to the mayor, then you admire a car crashing through the wall. They are told that they can look at the picture at the end and buy it if they want.

Next they discover the Chancellor. Before he can react, Jack is placed next to the figure by Mia and a trigger is pressed. "Hey!", But he doesn’t really like to laugh. It's really cute how she shines and now pushes the camera into his hand. They take a few photos of the politicians and them. Then they reach a wall with handprints from famous artists. “Bon Jovi!” Mia squeaks and puts her hand on the singer's print. Yours is much more delicate and smaller. "Take a picture!"

You meet the violinist Garrett, the basketball player Nowitzki next to the Mia looks like a child and one of the Klitschko brothers. Totally enthusiastic, Mia put on a boxing glove and threw herself into a pose. And that's far from the end. Behind a corner they discover Albert Einstein, five paces further there is a Sissi in white.

He is not ready for what will come next. "AAAAHH. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. You have to take a picture of us. ”, Mia hops excitedly. What do women all think about it? “I love the character he plays more. More precisely, how he always does this twist with his hip. Just awesome! “, Jack thinks that's exactly what the character is so silly. Everyone has their own tastes. He takes the photo. "Thanks!", In a good mood, she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Jack is still happy about her public display of affection when Mia grabs his arm and almost scares him to death. "There! You must love football. Grab the trophy and stand on the podium ”, he surrenders to her without replying. But with great joy. "Exactly. Now give the trophy a kiss ... Perfect how about a jump in the air? .. No? Well, then not. I would like a beaming smile from you. "

How could he not give her one? Mia holds up her Nikon. The long black hair falls wildly over her shoulders. Her green eyes shine, even her skin seems to glow. Beautiful. "You can stop grinning like a honey cake horse.", Mia laughs and gives him a light push. "There are more who want to be on the podium."

Jack looks to the side and almost tripped. Max pointed his camera at her. With Mia, it's really easy to forget that this is all being filmed. His new buddy smiles at him. Jack nods to him.

" Oh hey! Look how huge Thomas Gottschalk is. He looks kind of smaller on TV. Will you take a photo? ”He presses the shutter release. Completely enchanted by his date. "Do you finally have it?" "Uh ... Uh ... Yes, of course." Now he stutters too, still how embarrassing!

But that is quickly forgotten when he finds Günther Jauch in his 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' chair. “I've always wanted to sit on this chair. But I don't think I'm intellectual enough for the questions. ”He sits down and examines the figure's facial features. They retouched a few creases, otherwise a really good job. "You? Not smart enough? You are a lawyer. Of course you are smart. I know that. ”His heart opens again. Mia has so much faith in him. That's really cute. "OK. I took a few pictures. Let's go on. ”She holds his hand naturally.

The next thing that catches your eye is the 'TV Total' logo. Stefan Raab's figure looks greatly rejuvenated. "I don't like him.", Jack can only agree with Mia. They also run past Bully from (T) spaceship Surprise.

“ The Beatles. You have the Beatles! Max, come here. I know that you are really keen on a picture with these four. ", Jack turns around in surprise. Max's ears have turned red. "You like the Beatles?", But in reality he wants to ask: How long did you talk to Mia that she knows such details? "My dad loves them and apparently I've adopted his taste." He positions himself in the middle of the group and puts his arms around the figures. "Uuund ... done. Do you want to take a look? “, Max is about to nod when he sees the expression on Jack's face. "No thanks. I believe that it is a good photo. ”With that he takes his camera from one of his people. "Do you want one with them too, Jack?" "No, thanks for asking." As if she felt something was wrong, she gave Jack a short hug. "I love to be here ... to you!", She only whispers the last words. Jack gives her a kiss on the temple.

#

Mia doesn't know exactly what it was, but Jack suddenly seemed a little upset. She calmed him down with a little hug. Judging by the lips on her temple. "Let's see who's waiting for us next," she takes his hand possessively. Women stare at him all the time. She doesn't really care whether it's because of the cameras, his level of awareness through the show or just his appearance. The main thing is that you understand that it is not available. Mia happily lays her head on Jack's arm, but only for a few seconds because then she sees: "Freddy Mercury!", She admires this man. He had fantastic lung volume. It's just a shame that he had AIDS and his immune system was so weakened that he passed away in 1991 because of a lying infection. Mia hands the camera to Jack before studying Mercury. Here he is in his younger years, portrayed as if he were on stage with Queen to perform. He would have liked that. Once she puts her hand around his on the microphone, then strokes his hair. She saves the best for last. With her imaginary microphone in hand, Mia stands next to the legend and sings “We are the Champions”. At first very softly towards the chorus, getting louder. She is stared at, but a few join in and it develops into a small choir. Some of the spontaneous reactions from us humans are simply indescribable.

At the end of the song there is cheering and clapping. "It was fantastic. Didn't even know that you have such guts. ”Instead of just taking a picture, Jack took the whole thing. "It just carried me away.", Mia laughs and gives Jack a smack on the mouth. He seems to be completely surprised. God she l ... really likes this man. Fascinated by the choice of figures, she follows the now winding path that leads into a new, large room. Right off the bat, she spots Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith and Justin Timberlake. With a few characters, it's really hard to find out who they are. On the left in the room is a ... "Robbie Williams", she has already laid down next to him and can be photographed. Jack wants a picture with JT and Will Smith. “I love his films. I think Hancock, Bad Boys and I, Robot are his best films. ”“ He's a natural. ”They talk about artists and shoot lots of photos. At some point one of them comes along, she no longer knows who it was, the idea of ​​simply taking a photo of herself. Just the two of them, without characters. Once they look seriously, smile, grimace with laughter, hold rabbit ears and at the end there are even two or three kiss photos of them.

It's all so much fun. From all the laughter, they stumble like two drunks into the next room and take in the air in unison. “Shrek!” In front of them there is actually a plastic Shrek four times the size of Mia. “We absolutely need a photo of the two of us with Shrek.”, She looks around for a person who should take the photo. Only then does she notice the cameras. Mia is confused for a moment. Why are they being filmed? After a few seconds she remembers the show, the villa and its rivals. "Max can you take the picture, please?" "Sure!", Together they hug Shrek's stomach.

To be satisfied with the day itself, to come out again. "Do we want to get another ice cream?" Suggests Jack. Mia realizes with a look at the clock that it is only 7pm. "Definitely.", Mia chooses a yoghurt and strawberry cup and Jack decides on a spaghetti ice cream.

They eat with relish and in silence. "Jack? I found the day with you almost perfect. “, The opposite grins. "Only almost? What was missing? ”“ A quiet morning. ”That is not exactly the truth. Mia wants a tender kiss from Jack. With what happened this morning, however, she'd better get rid of that. On the other hand, if neither of them reveal anything to anyone ... besides, the dates should be kept silent.

Jack sighs. “I imagined everything to be easier and less complicated here. Like this: All women like each other, there is no competition, I quickly find the right one among you 10, if there is one and I can stay in contact with the rest, or something. ”“ Apart from that, I don't wanted to come here, I also thought that the month goes by quickly and not everyone is so enthusiastic about the guy. ", they grin. "Everyone was a bit disappointed in their own way." "And pleasantly surprised," Mia adds.

Time flies like in flight. The ice is soon empty and they immerse themselves in their conversation about the artists, the city and themselves that they only reappear when it starts to get dark.

On the drive home, Mia leans on Jack's shoulders. "I don't want the day to end," she whispers. Suddenly Mia is pulled upright and pressed to Jack's mouth. It's a tender kiss. That's exactly what she wanted. Jack's hand has dug into her hair, the other is on her back. Her hands in his hair, she tries to get closer to him. The hand on her back caresses its way up on her cheek. “I don't want the day to end either.” They sit in the car, forehead to forehead and hold on to the moment as long as they can.

Then the car stops. They get out together. From the first moment Mia gets out of the car, she knows that they are being watched. The only question now is, is she being shadowed by all three or just by Emilia? Jack accompanies them to the door. "Thank you for this wonderful day.", She looks up at him. “Hopefully it wasn't the last. Wish me luck. ”, She nods towards the villa. His lips curl up promptly. "I don't want them to kill you." Jack sighs briefly. "Good luck! See you tomorrow. ”, A little hug, then he leaves. Mia takes a deep breath and opens the door.

The lights all seem to be out. On tiptoe, she takes off her shoes and sneaks past the kitchen. Suddenly the light comes on. “Mia!” “Emilia!” Says the beast in a sexy nightgown. “You don't really think we're asleep yet? It's only early evening! Lola and Summer have hidden in your room and are waiting for you. ”, A mean smile adorns her face. "OK! Thanks for the warning. ”Without paying attention to the O that Emilia's mouth forms, Mia pats up.

She opens her room door. “We're so sorry, Mia. We're terribly sorry. We all got hold of Jack. You can't help it that you were so tired. ”“ Exactly, Mia. Please forgive us. We don't know what ridden us this morning. ”There is only one answer to that. “Emilia rode you. Of course I forgive you. I would certainly have been suspicious too. ”They start to laugh and the three of them snuggle up in their bed.
