When we finally get back home, the guys insist that we go to sleep immediately. I'm not tired, but after a couple of minutes I give in.
"I'll sleep on the couch-bed thing, than you two can take the bed," Dunk says.
"Okay," Lee shrugs and I nod. We all get ready for bed. For once Lee's the first one who's ready, and he's almost asleep when I lie down next to him. He cuddles up against me.
"Good night," he mumbles and gives me a kiss than lands somewhere in my neck.
"Good night Lee," I whisper back. Dunk's also ready now and I see he's watching me smiling. He turns off the lights and finds the way to his bed.
"Don't I get a kiss goodnight?" I whisper at him.
"Sorry babe, of course," he whispers. It's dark in the room but I can just see him coming to me. I lift up my head but at the same time he bends down to me so we accidentally kiss eachother on the lips.
"Sweet dreams honey," he whispers.
"Good night Dunk," I whisper back. I lie back and try to go to sleep. I can't sleep though� tonight was too confusing. Dunk isn't jealous at all anymore when I'm with Lee. He's just sweet and caring. But I know he's still in love with me. It must be so hard for him!
And Lee� it's like before, when we were best friends, nothing more. It feels good and secure to be with him. I'm not sure if he's still in love with me. He doesn't show it in any way. I'm sure he saw what happened between Dunk and me at the concert, but he doesn't show any jealousy at all. It's so weird! They are both too kind, too sweet, too understanding. Will they ever show their real feelings to me? I hope so! How can I choose between them otherwise? Or have I already chosen? What happened this evening was pure chemistry! But does it also mean that I'm falling back in love with Dunk? I can still taste his sweet kiss on my lips� Was it accidentally? Or did he kiss me this way on purpose? Did he feel the chemistry at the concert? Of course he did!
I hear him giving a deep sigh. I turn on my side towards him. My eyes have gotten used to the dark, so I can see that he's staring at the ceiling.
"You can't sleep either?" I whisper.
He turns his head at me. "No."
I stretch my arm at him and he takes my hand.
"I was thinking� if I get books with colors and different kinds of walls and floors and curtains and stuff like that tomorrow, than we can have a look at them on Sunday, and start planning the baby-room," Dunk whispers at me.
"Good idea! It will be great," I smile and softly squeeze his hand.
After a while I fall asleep, still holding Dunk's hand.
The next day we go to London together, the three of us.
"You really need to buy some maternity clothes, before you don't fit in any of your pants anymore," Lee says to me.
"I know," I nod.
"Shall I go shopping with you today?" he offers.
"Are you sure? I thought you didn't like going shopping with me. I can ask Tia to go with me," I say surprised.
"Nah, it's okay. And it's not normal shopping," he grins at me.
"Beware, this is much worse," I warn him.
We say goodbye to Dunk and I go shopping with Lee. "So, why did you wanna go shopping with me?" I ask him.
"Well, I don't get to see you alone that often. Usually the others are around. And when you stay over at my place, you go to bed early and wake up late."
"Sorry. I also do that when I'm staying over at Tia's. I just need some more sleep than before," I apologize.
"It's okay, I understand. It's just that it's not very often just the two of us. Aaaaand it's really cute, all the baby stuff," he smiles.
"Yeah. The only thing that is getting less and less cute is me," I say sarcastically.
"Are you kidding? You're looking cuter than ever!" he calls out. I start to blush badly.
"You really think so?" I ask.
"Definitely! Awww you're blushing," he grins and puts his arm around my shoulder.
We're really enjoying ourselves. I'm trying on the clothes, dragging Lee with me into the fitting room, than sending him out tot get a different size. He's making fun of me all the time. It's by far not as horrible as I imagined, it's quite fun actually. Time flies, and by the end of the afternoon I have most of the clothes that I need.
Lee's taking me out for dinner to a restaurant. We're talking about me, him, Dunk, the baby, my study� everything. Now I know for sure that we're as close as before. He's the best friend anybody can have!
I tell him that I'm gonna work on the baby-room with Dunk tomorrow.
"Oww, than I'd better bring you to Dunk's place now, isn't it? Because otherwise it will be a bit late tomorrow before you can start on it. I know how slow you are in the morning," he winks.
"Yeah, yeah. And I'm getting slower every weekend," I laugh. "But yes, I think it's a good idea if you drop me off at Dunk's place now," I nod. "Oh! Than you can go clubbing, it's Saturday night! I bet the others will come with you," I suddenly realize.
"Yeah, that's a good idea actually!" he nods enthusiastic. "Haven't done that for a long time!"
He takes me to Dunk's place. I kiss him goodbye and ring the doorbell. When the door opens, I hear Lee driving away.
"Isn't he coming in?" Dunk asks surprised.
"Nah, he's going clubbing," I shake my head.
"Oh! So you're staying over?" he smiles surprised.
"Yup. If you don't mind."
"Not at all. Ow by the way, don't you still have the keys? You can let yourself in next time," he points at the front door.
"Erm� yeah I still have them. Okay," I nod. He kisses my cheek and takes my coat from me.
"So how was your day?" he asks.
"Great. Did lots of shopping," I point at the bags.
"Great! I bought something too. You have to see it!" he says with a really big smile. He takes my hand and takes me to the living room.
"It's a bit early, but I h�d to buy them," he grins and takes something out of a bag.
"OMG! They're lovely! They're so cute!" I call out. He has the most beautiful, small, blue baby shoes in his hand. I put my arms around his neck and give him a hug.
"I knew you'd love them too," he whispers in my ear. I don't want to let go off him, but than he finally breaks the hug.
"Show me what you bought," he smiles.
"Sure."
After I've showed everything I sit down on the couch next to him. He was watching tv before I arrived, so I cuddle up against him to see the rest of the movie. He puts his arm around me and gives a small kiss on my hair. After only a short time my eyes get heavy and I close them.
When I wake up Dunk's lifting me up.
"Did I fall asleep?" I say with a hoarse voice.
"Yes you did honey. I'm taking you to bed," he smiles. I put my arm around his neck and he puts me in bed.
"Good night," he whispers and gives me a kiss.
"Good night," I mumble back. He turns off the light and leaves.
