Chapter 6

Tuesday night came and Augustin and i still didn't  touch each other.We drove to the club and Lana and George was already waiting for us.We had such a good time dancing and being ingolved in the music.The one thing i hate about the clubs is the cue to the bathroom.The men's room was practically empty, as always.So i went in there, no harm done untill Augustin walked in as i was leaving.He smirked then spoke
"You know this is the men's room, right?"
I didn't  reply and walked out, back onto the dance floor.
Lana and i went to a corner to rest.
"So, did you and Augustin have a fight or something?"Lana asked.
"It's complicated..."i said with a sigh.
"Oh come on!Life is complicated, just apologize and get it over with."
"It's  not like that.It's like a competition."
"Then lose."she said bluntly
"Why should i-?"
"Cuz it never ends well.And atleast you know that you let him win.You don't  know if he'll  budge."
"Well, he's  damn close to breaking."
"Mmmhmm"she said in disbelief.

We went back and danced with Augustin and George.
After the 9th song, i desided to take Lana's advice.I took Augustins hand and led him to the centre of the dance floor.
"You win"i said as i turned around and kissed him.
Augustin gave a satisfied smile and kissed me back.
We left 01:34.
"You owe me."Augustin said as we entered the apartment.
"What?Why?"
"Because you lost."he answered.
"...what do you want?"
"I'll  think about it."he said
"Fair enough."i replied.

           

                             ...

Augustin had to work the rest of the week.And me, who was currently unemployed, only had my studies to worry about.
I went to classes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.Friday i decided to treat myself to a Hazelnut Lattè.I got Augustin a Mocha Latté.'This was 6 o'clock in the afternoon.'
...
By 10 o'clock, there was still no sighn of Augustin.I'd called his phone 5 times already, but it just went to voicemail.
I then decided to call his mom.
*Ring*Ring*
"Hello?" the sweet voice of his mom came through the phone.
"Hi, Mrs.Ellis.It's (y/n)."
"Oh hello, sweety."she said surprised"Whats going on?"
"Well, i've tried to call Augustin 5 times, but he hasn't  picked up. And I'm  getting a bit worried."
"Oh..."she said surprised."I'll go ask Mr.Ellis if he knows where Augustin is for ya."
I stood in silence and stared out of the window.
A minute later she answered again.
"(y/n)?"
"Still here."i answered.
"Mr.Ellis says that he had to do a job for him and will be home any minute now."she said relaxed.
"What a relief.Thanks a lot Mrs.Ellis, have a nice night."
"Goodbye" she replied and i ended the call.
...
43 minutes later i heard the front door unlock and jumped to my feet.(10:51)
Augustin turned the light on and nearly jumped at the sight of me.
"Hey"he said putting his keys away."I tought you'd  be asleep already."
I crossed my arm and waited for an explenation.But got none.
"Have you showered yet?"he asked now noticing my crossed arms."What?Want a hug?"he asked teasingly coming closer with his arms stretched.
He stopped a foot away from me when i didn't  move.
He looked at me puzzled.
"Are you mad at me?"he frowned and looked down at me.
"Yes"i blurted out
"Why?Cuz im late?"
I nodded.
He gave a brief smile then frowned again."i was busy with work" he said as he walked to the bathroom.
While Augustin took a shower i heated his Lattè for him.
To my surprise, Augustin entered the kitchen with only a towel wrapped around his waist and one over his neck.
"That smells good!"he said taking the Lattè from my hand and closed his eyes as he took a sip.
"Mmmm..." he paused when he saw my buldging eyes.
We normally didn't  walk around half naked infront of each other.
He looked down at his exposed skin and said
"Oh..." as he looked back at me.
My face must have been beetroot red.
He gave a grin then walked to the bedroom.
I sat down on the sofa, replaying the image of Augustin in only a towel in my head.
After a minute Augustin sat down next to me, still sipping his Lattè.
We were silent
"....did-uhm...Were you so busy at work that you couldn't  even pick up the phone?"
He stared at me from behind his Lattè.
"i left my phone in the car..."
"...I was worried about you... I tought you were in danger or in an accident or something."
He smiled.
"It's  not funny!"
"I know.But it's  cute the way you care about me." his grin grew.
My face started burning and i reverted my eyes to the wall.
Augustin put down his Lattè on the coffee table and took my chin in his one hand.
"Hey, I love you."he said out of nowhere.
I pouted and said
"I love you too."i said softly
And Augustin gave me a light peck.We stared into each others' eyes.
"I know what i want."he said
"...what?" assuming  he was talking about the bet i lost and now owe him something.
"You"he said in a low voice.
I flinched at the word and started to panick.He only smirked.
"Tomorrow, roadtrip."he said and i could breathe again.
