Martijn POV

A few days later, Thursday night - more like Friday morning

4 AM

I'm at RAI, along with all my team members, to rehearse for this evening's ANIMA show, which is coming alive.

Lasers, music, visuals turning into emotions. This is exactly what I want someone to feel when coming to one of my shows.

We are almost finished, just a couple more songs. So today I think I will go to bed at 5 AM, and consequently wake up at least at midday.

...

I hop down the car and wave at my friends, who are going to sleep too, and enter the building where I live. I am basically asleep while taking the elevator and entering.
I think I made it to the bed just in time, before falling into a peaceful slumber.
Aaahhhh. Bed, i love you.

H. 12.30

I'm awaken by my phone going off. Who's that?

Minerva, of course.

"Hey baby" I answer.
'Hey boy. Were you still sleeping? In that case, I'm sorry'

"Umm, yeah I was. But don't worry, it's 7 hours of sleep"

'Oh I'm so sorry.... But I called you to know when I can come over'

"Whenever you want, even right now if you want"

'Oh, ok. Then... I will take a shower and then come over'

"Ok dear, see you"

She hangs up and I leave my phone on the bedside table.
Minerva will be here in about one hour and I need to shower, dress up and eat something.

I immediately begin with the first task and get up from the bed to have a great refreshing shower. I carefully wash my hair and put on even a little bit of conditioner, because today I will have cameras on me and I want to look good.

Once out of the shower I dry my hair and style them with some hair wax, put on deodorant and a little cologne.
I smell good, nice!

Now that I'm clean, I walk to my room and slide in some black boxers and open my wardrobe doors to choose something to wear.

Minerva liked so much my look the other day, so I think she will appreciate if I wear something like that today too.

I mean, for ADE I have my +x t-shirt and ripped jeans, but right now I'm going to be a little dressed up for her.

I choose to wear the same sweater she saw, but with another pair of jeans that I think will look better than the black ones.

I like how these pants are fitting with my more muscular thighs. Mh, good to know.

Now that I'm ready, I make my way to the kitchen to eat something.
Since it's 1 PM, I definitely don't want to have breakfast, nor pasta or complex carbohydrates.
I think that some ham and cheese will do, and I will eat some fruit too.

While having this little meal, I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong tonight. I am a perfectionist, and I would be disappointed and frustrated if something went wrong. The only topics that I can think about right now are 'what if the music suddenly stops?' or 'what if the lasers shut off?'.

'Thank goodness Minerva is here' , I think seeing the security cameras notification on my phone.

Not much time passes when I hear the doorbell ring.

She's hereeeee!

I happily walk fast towards the door and open it, looking at the cute girl in front of me. She's wearing an hoodie and leggings, but the huge bag that she's carrying tells me that she is going to change for tonight.

"Hey dear!" I greet Miné letting her enter and closing the door behind us.

"Hello handsome boyyy! You are all dressed up today! Awww so sexy"

I can't stop laughing at her happiness little jumps and when she hugs me I just keep her there.

"Do you like it?" I ask her, waiting for her impression on my outfit.

"You are handsome.... Really, really, really sexy"

"Glad you like it, because I love it too"

"This sweater makes you look so muscular" she says touching my arms and chest and then hugging me again.
"Plus it's so soft! Great for hugs"

"Hahaha, ok then. We understood that you like it"

She nods, lowering her hands to my butt, causing me to smile and her too.

"I missed you, you know" she tells me.

"Ugh, I missed you too. I wanted to share my bed with you"

"I wanted to squeeze your ass so much..." she says going for a full hand squeeze on both of my butt cheeks.

I slowly lift up her chin and lean in, kissing her after four days of absence. This kiss isn't vigorous and hot as usual, it's slow and cute, with our tongues gently exploring the other one's mouth. The only thing that can be kinda hot is the fact that Miné is still touching my butt area, squeezing here and there before she slides her hands into my back pockets.

The kiss ends after a couple minutes, but it's fine. Super satisfying.

"Uhm... Ok, so...let me take your bag" I tell her carrying the huge bag to my room, her following.

"Thanks. Sorry, it's heavy"

"I guess this is for the whole army...." I joke with her, faking a exhausted body when I leave her bag on a chair.

"I just have a lot of outfit options for tonight"

"No dress, please. Because I know that you are going to be uncomfortable"

"Neither high heels, are you crazy? I'm not going to risk an ankle"

"Good girl. And.... I have a present for you" I tell her opening my wardrobe doors and taking out the box where I kept my new merchandise.

"Here!" I say giving it to her.

She doesn't understand at first, so she leaves the box on the bed and opens it.

"Martijn.... But.... It's the whole collection"

"Yes. This is for you. The size should be fine because I checked your own hoodie. And for the guys, they can choose whatever they want from the collection, I will send them the items for free"

"But, Martijn this is too much..."

"Never too much for you"

"Well, I have a present too actually" she says opening her bag and starting to remove her leggings.

This isn't what I'm thinking about, right?

She removes her hoodie too, but under it she's hiding the dress she meant to wear at ADE. she pulls the skirt down a little bit and takes out from the bag a pair of high heels that she immediately puts on.

"Oh! Nice present.... Really nice present"
