Never Again

Chapter 27: Invitation

'Hey, I pay him for this, he isn't poor at all!' he smiled proudly as if he had solved all of Africa's problems.

'Just go find a film, I don't want to hear anymore about this,' she used her feet to push him off the sofa. With a loud thud he landed on the floor and he shot her a deadly glare.

He sat up again and folded his arms. 'I could have broken something,' he said with disgruntlement in his voice.

She shrugged her shoulders and tried not to laugh. 'Well, you didn't.'

'You don't know that!' he shot back at her.

'Do you want me to examine you?' she waggled her eyebrows and a mischievous smile played on her lips.

He quickly got to his feet again and backed away. 'No, no, no, I don't want to die yet.'

'Alright, just pick a film then. They're in that blue box,' she said and pointed at one of the boxes that where stood next to the TV.

He finally did what he was told and started throwing DVDs through the room. It was funny watching his expression change when he pulled a DVD out of the box. His face went from disgust, to confusion and from recognition to smiles again.

A broad grinned appeared on his face when he had pulled one of the DVDs out of the box. 'This one,' he said firmly and he was waving a DVD above his head.

'Which one?' she asked, because she couldn't see what it was.

He walked back to her and held the DVD in front of her face. 'Cars 2,' he grinned.

'Oh God, why. How old are you again?' she sighed and looked up to him. When she met his eyes she felt that familiar feeling in her stomach again. His smile always got to her and she still hadn't found a way to get around that.

'Because I'm in it,' he said excitedly.

'It's a cartoon...,' she eyed him suspiciously.

'I know, but I'm one of the voice overs. I'm Sebastian Schnell!'

She stared at him and thought he was joking. 'Are you serious?'

'Yes! Look,' he pointed at the back of the box, 'it has my name on it. Do you believe me know?'

'Yes,' she grinned. She couldn't believe he had done something like this and she was now curious how he sounded in the film. 'Sebastian Schnell, really?' she said shaking her head.

'They had to come up with a name and this sounded eh, racy?' he grinned. 'You know, Lewis is in it too. He even speaks German here!'

'But he doesn't speak German?' she said sounding puzzled.

'Oh he doesn't, it sounds horrible, but it was fun,' he chuckled and he flipped over the box to look at the other side. 'Shall we watch this then? I haven't seen it actually,' he admitted.

'Alright, is Sebastian Schnell as fast as you are?'

'I hope so,' he grinned and he started the film.

'Hey, watch it,' she said when Seb had let himself fall on the sofa and he had almost ended up on her lap.

'Sorry,' he gave her a lopsided grin and he wasn't sorry at all.

'You're insufferable,' she sighed and pushed him away from her.

They sat in silence for a while watching the film. She had never seen it and she didn't really know why they owned it, but it was quite funny actually. It was strange to hear Seb's voice coming from the TV, but it was really adorable how he was talking over the film whenever a scene with Sebastian Schnell came up. He clearly still remembered his lines and he even did know some of the others.
