Ch. 5

" AAAH!" He hasn't been that hungover for a long time. How did he get into bed? Why does he only wear boxers? "Well, my friend? Survived the evening? ”The curtains open. His eardrum bursts. "Quieter!", He groans: "Darker!", A full laugh makes Jack flinch. "So you were really closed yesterday, yes?", The smell of coffee makes him open one eye. “Coffee?” He holds out his hand. "Aha. Complete sentences are still lost in your cat's chaos. Here! ”He drinks with his eyes closed. "Better!" He sighs.

“ Ready to get up” “No!” “But you have to, it's 11 o'clock. Everyone is wondering where are you going. ”“ No! ”“ Like a stubborn little child. Well, you caught me, it's only 9. You should still start to wake up. ”“ Mmmmmh. ”, Finn's steps move away.

Someone's Knocking. A door opens and closes. "You have a hangover visitor.", Finn stomps away again. “Tomorrow!” He grumbles. "I already heard that you are a bit monosyllabic today.", The voice sounds familiar. “Mia?” “Yes, I am. To return the favor for yesterday, I brought you THE remedy for a murderous hangover. ”, The mattress sinks at his side. "Come sit down for a moment.", A hand gently grips under his neck and helps him stand up. "Drink!", A cup with warm liquid. After emptying the cup in one go, he grimaces. "Sweet!" "Chamomile and grape sugar" It already helped me. "Her hand wanders down his back. Because he likes it and just needs to be touched, he opens his eyes slightly. In a flash he lays his head on her neck, hugs her at the waist and wraps his legs around her waist. "Um ... I didn't expect this reaction." Nevertheless, she continues to pat him on the back and leans towards him.

Eons later he can feel her shrug. "I think he fell asleep again.", Then Finn's voice. "Free yourself! You should go back over there! ", Jack reacts by simply not letting go. "I'm stuck," she whispers. "Or he is listening to us and just doesn't want you to move." A dark laugh sounds. Then he actually falls asleep.

#

Mia has given up on breaking free. Then his weight got heavier. She fell backwards, he on top of her. He practically made himself comfortable on her and then sighed. It has to be trapped under him. His body, warm and pliable. The stubble rub against her neckline and the satisfied grunts when he shifts a hand from stomach to hair. Or his lips feel her neck.

Every time she tries to move, he captures her in his arms.

At some point Mia dozes off.

#

Jack wakes up with a jerk. He is lying on a sleeping woman. Why does he only wear boxers? How did he get into bed?

Then the memories come. Max and Finn dragged him here. Finn, coffee, suddenly Mia and chamomile tea. Now he's on top of her. Legs knotted together, head on her heart, hands in hair and possessive on the bottom. He lifts his head, her neckline is sore from its stubble. He moves slowly so as not to wake her. "Hey! Tomorrow! Again among the living? “, Jack's head jerks in the direction of the voice. Finn. "It's 11 o'clock. The women bought the hungover man from me and Mia has to visit the baby. ”Jack looks down at Mia. She is fully clothed. “Morning!” “You clung to her like a monkey, brother. She tried to free herself for half an hour before she fell asleep. “, Jack gets up and covers Mia. "Eat!" "It's in the kitchen, you Neanderthal." "Thank you!"

#

Mia wakes up alone and disoriented. She paddles into the kitchen. Straight into Max, whose camera is on his shoulder. "Hey Max? What time is it? "" 12 o'clock. Jack is over with the others. You are with the baby from the hospital, according to the official website. "" Oh. Mh. Good to know that this is being kept a secret. Nothing happened. Unlike last night. Summer talks about his kiss and the karaoke songs all the time. ”, With wrinkles between her eyes, she takes the sandwich cucumber jar on the table and eats the rest.

" I was there last night.", Max puts the camera to one side. "Great!", The wrinkles deepen. “Jack had nothing to do with the concealment. Finn presented him with a fait accompli. ”“ I don't care! ”Max sighs.

" Today we do sight seeing followed by ice cream consumption and a visit to the cinema.", Aria and Trixi keep neutral faces.

Sight seeing goes something like this:

Trixi asks something, he answers.

Trixi asks something, he answers.

He asks Aria, who answers so quietly and hesitantly that you can hardly understand her.

A failure. Trixi probably chooses the most popular types of ice cream on purpose. Chocolate, Stratiatella and Sky Blue. Aria is less squeamish, she takes a scoop of After Eight, Roche and Amerena Kirsch. Jack chooses lemon, nut and also After Eight. This brings him and Aria into conversation. Over ice cream to cake and from there to spreads.

It is decided as a movie for Jack and the Giants. His namesake sets out to save a princess and discovers the world of giants. It really sounds better than it is.

These two dates, or is it called the double date, were a disaster. Or maybe it was him. Yesterday evening he went over the top and this morning he used Mia as a pillow.

He shouldn't punish Aria and Trixi with his behavior, after all he has swapped his original plan to go rafting for a tourist day.

“ Hey, I'm sorry how it went today. I will probably not plan any more evening dates with alcohol consumption. ”, They have just arrived at the villa. Jack takes them both in his arms. “Maybe we still have time to meet again and talk.” “I didn't think the film was that bad!” Trixi smiles encouragingly at him. “And although I live in Berlin, I have never bothered to admire the sights.” A shy smile even spreads on Aria's face. "Thank you! Thank you for taking it so easily. “, Jack gives the two of them another kiss on the cheek. Aria blushes a little. How cute.

" Come on! Tell the others how I messed up today. I'll be with you tomorrow at half past nine. ”He grins. "And won't be hungover."
