I wake up, totally disorientated. I look around and see that I'm lying on the couch, with my head on Lee's lap. He smiles at me.
"What�? How�?" I stutter.
"You fell asleep right after the movie ended," he says. I hear a weird noise. When I hear it again, I realize it's Lee's stomach.
"I'm sorry it woke you up," Lee says blushing heavily.
"Hehe, it's okay. I'm sorry I fell asleep on you," I grin. "How long did I sleep?"
"About one hour."
"OMG! You shouldn't have left me lying on you. I'm sure you're aching all over now," I call out.
"No, it's okay," he shakes his head and gets up from the couch. He almost falls on the floor. "My leg's just sleeping a little bit," he smiles sheepishly. "What do you want for dinner?"
"I don't wanna have dinner," I shrug.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, than I'll make something for myself, if you don't mind," he says and disappears to the kitchen.
After he had dinner he says: "I bought something you'll like." He holds up a big bucket of chocolate ice cream and two spoons.
"Aww just what I needed," I nod. We sit down on the couch with the bucket between us and start eating loads of ice cream.
"How did you know?" I ask with my mouth full.
"I eat it too, when I'm sad," he admits, blushing slightly.
"How cute!" I smile.
"Aww, I'm full, but I can't stop eating," I sigh after a while.
"Oh no! I don't want you to get sick in my bed!" he says and takes the bucket away from me.
"Please, I want another bite," I beg him.
"One!" he says and holds the bucket for me. I put as much ice cream on my spoon as possible and he puts the ice cream away in the fridge.
"Are you going clubbing tonight?" I ask when he returns.
"No!" he calls out surprised. "I'm staying here with you. Unless you want to go clubbing?"
"No. I don't wanna see other people right now. You sure you wanna stay home at Saturday night?"
"Of course. How can I go clubbing if there's a beautiful woman waiting for me at home?" he grins. I start to blush.
"I'm not beautiful, I look terrible. And I'm not much fun either," I say.
"Come here," he puts his arms around me and pulls me close.
"You're not looking too good at the moment, with the sad look in your eyes. But that doesn't say you're not beautiful. And of course you can't be much fun right now, but that's exactly why I'm not gonna leave you alone," he says looking deep into my eyes. I give him a kiss and he hugs me tight.
"So you're gonna watch 'Romeo and Juliet' with me?" I ask while taking his hand and pulling him next to me on the couch.
"Can't we watch another movie? 'Romeo and Juliet' is so�"
"Sad? Are you afraid I'm gonna cry again?"
"No. But it's so�"
"Romantic? You know I like romantic movies. Or are you scared of watching a romantic movie with me?" I joke. He starts to blush, trying to hide it.
"Aww how cute! You're blushing," I grin. "Thanks for cheering me up. But we're gonna watch this movie anyway," I laugh and put the dvd in the player.
Lee pours us both a glass of white wine and sits down on the couch next to me.
At the end of the movie I'm crying. Lee takes me in his arms and gives me a warm hug.
"Shhh, it will all be okay," he whispers in my ear.
"No it won't," I cry.
"Of course it will. Maybe one day you'll even forgive Dunk and get back together again�"
He takes me upstairs, I undress and go to bed. I can't sleep though, keep on thinking horrible things.
An hour later Lee comes to bed. He's doing really quiet, thinking I'm already asleep. He lies down next to me and puts his arm around me. He gives a soft kiss on my cheek and whispers in my ear: "Good night�" I turn around to him.
"I thought you were asleep," he says surprised.
"Can't sleep."
"Poor you. You should have come to me, I would have kept you company."
"No! and you're here now anyway," I smile. He suddenly realizes he still has his arms around me, and takes them off me.
"Please, stay close to me. Maybe than I can finally sleep," I whisper and put my arms around him. He puts his arms back around me. Than I quickly fall asleep.
Sunday I feel pretty good. We go for a walk in the park, because the weather is really nice. Luckily we don't meet anybody we know. In the afternoon Tia and Sy step by, and in the evening we watch another movie. We go to sleep early, because I have to catch and early flight on Monday morning.
Monday morning
The alarm clock rings very loud, but I turn around and put my head under the blankets.
"Iris," Lee says and gently pushes against my shoulder.
"Lee," I sob.
"What's up sweetheart?" he says worried.
"I don't want to go home."
"Why not?"
"Than I'll be all alone. I wanna stay with you," I cry.
"Aww honey! You know you can't. You have to go to college, and I have to go to work."
"No! I'm gonna stay here, in bed," I cry to his chest.
"You won't be alone. You've got your friends and family at home. And I'll be with you, in your heart," he whispers in my ear.
"But I can't talk to you."
"You can call me any time," he smiles.
"Any time?" I say with tears all over my face. He looks deep into my eyes.
"Any time. Even in the middle of the night," he wipes my tears away. "And I'll call you every day. And you can come here next weekend, or I'll come to you," he smiles sweetly.
"Thanks," I smile weakly and give him a tight hug.
"Come on babe. I'll make you breakfast and than I'll take you to the airport."
