Twenty-Three

"we came for nothing"

I simply nod, and take another look around me. something about this place keeps me interested.

"not for nothing" I reply. "we did find out there's no one here" I say, staring at the apartment with the blinded windows.

after a while of not saying anything I start walking towards the car. a waste of my goddamn time.

I just down in the drivers seat,and a moment later Shawn is sitting back next to me.

I turn on the GPS and wait untill the road to Manhattan is ready.

the next few hours we don't talk much. It's not like he's my best friend and I can discuss everything with. He's still my client. I must not forget that

the only thing that we hear is the sound of the radio.

It's not an awkward silence, It's comfortable.

"So, I guess that's our trip then" he says, his eyes focused on the road. I drove the first three hours, so now it's his turn.

I nod, and lay my head in my hands.

"are you okay?" he turns his head, and looks at me with an confused expression. I nod again, not responding with any words.

It's after nine in the evening, and I feel my stomach rumbling. we've been driving for over six hours now. I've been complaining for around three hours already, that I'm hungry, but there were no restaurants on the road.

"I'm hungry...." I complain for the fiftieth time this hour.

and then, after a while, we see a big yellow M. I've never been more happy. I let out a quiet scream when I see it.

"mc donalds it is then?" Shawn chuckles. I have to admit, his chuckle is adorable.

-

I stretch my legs once again when we're in line to order. It's really busy.

people are dressed up in football outfits.

did we really arrive just after the big football game?

Shawn reaches out his arm, and slightly grabs my hand. "We don't want to lose each other, right?" he winks.

"what would you like?" he looks at me. 

I've been unhealthy for the past two days, so I guess it couldn't hurt to take a salad. When it's almost our turn, after a few minuts, our hands are still intertwined. 

I look to my right and see a big group of persons coming in. I tap on Shawns shoulder and tell him I'm going to find a place to sit, before all the seats are taken. 

before he lets go of my hand, he brushes over it with his thumb. It's a simple gesture what makes my cheeks turn red and the corners of my mouth curl up.

After walking around like a lost puppy, I finally find a space to sit. It's on the second floor, and it's a simple red and of course yellow colored booth.

I sit down, and look at the kids in the inside playground. 

"here you go" Shawn sits down next to me, and places the tray on top of the table. two big mac menu's? 

"I asked for a salad with water" I chuckle, he gave me the exact opposite. a smirk appears on his face and he takes his lip between his teeth.

"I looked for something what seemed good for you.." he starts "..but unfortunately there was no McBeautiful on the menu" 

I giggle shyly and place my hands on my cheeks to hide the redness on my cheeks. "don't hide it" he grabs my hands, which are still on my cheeks, and holds them like it's made from thin glass. 

"I really like it when you're like this" I smile.  we still haven't eaten anything. "I like it when you're like this" Emphasizing the this.

there's a short silence, but after that, Shawn lets go of my hands, and grabs some fries.

"we always end up up at the mc donalds togheter" I say quietly, and he nods.  


"I wouldn't want to sit here with anyone else"

It's 12:03 AM (or PM i'm so bad at it, when it's just before or after midnight or noon) but it's in the midnight, and I haven't slept much last night, but I really wanted to publish. Tomorrow more (I guess)
