Martijn POV

I'm so tired, even if it's only 6 PM. So it's 9 hours working, because we had lunch while programming the lights. I left only a few minutes to make sure that Minerva had something for lunch too.

But now we are finally finished with this and.... Now the rehearsal is a couple days before the show.

Now I can spend much more time with the guys.

I gather up all of my stuff and go to the studio no 1 to pick Miné up.

I open the door and hear some soft music coming through the main speakers, some dope melodic house.

This is dope as fuck guys.....

But Minerva is in tears.
"Minerva.... What? What happened??? Bae!"

She turns around looking at me while drying her tears with her wrist.

"Stupid things Martijn.... Don't worry"

I throw my backpack on the couch and walk up to her, lowering at her height since she's sitting on the office chair.
"Dear, if you expect me to leave you with your worries then you are wrong. What's up with my favorite girl?"

She sighs, showing me a piece of paper.
"This exercise..... I tried it three times but the result isn't correct..."

I take a look at the huge amount of numbers written on that piece of paper, scared to know what's the meaning of all the formulas.

"Awww dear. Don't worry..... I know that you can do it, but you must be tired. It's 6 PM"

"6 PM?"

"Yes dear...."

She looks at that piece of paper another time and then at me.

"Can you help me? I want to try it another time"

"But baby I don't know if I can be useful, I don't even know what you are doing"

"I'll need you to do the calculations for me.... Please...."

She gets up to take her calculator from the other side of the table. She's basically begging me.

"Anything for you.... But I don't know what I have to do so.... Sit on my legs and guide me" I tell her sitting on the office chair and her on my lap.

"Just for you to know. This is Physics..."

"Ok.... And what are we supposed to calculate?"

"Magnetic fields generated by electric cables"

"Oh god......"

She's explaining me how the phenomena works, obviously keeping it very simple, and now I'm more interested than ever in this.

I don't know what I'm doing with this calculator, I'm just pushing buttons while cuddling Miné to calm her down, but she knows what she's doing.

"Holy shit..... Martijn we missed the Earth"

Huh....

"So?"

"The Earth's magnetic field. What's your result here?"

I do the few operations needed and show her the calculator display.

"Add this number, it's the Earth's contribute"

I do whatever she tells me to do and show her the results.

She jumps out of my lap and does a little dance, screaming
"yes! Yes, finally! Thank you Marty!"

She comes back to sit on my lap and hugs me tightly, even if I don't even know what I did.

"Thank you for what? Hahahaha. I just pushed some buttons"

"You agreed to stay a little longer and believed in me, actually.
And I'm assuming that you are great at pushing buttons, being a dj"

"Ow, hahaha. OK. Then I'm great at opening doors too. You know..... Turning knobs"

She bursts into a nice laugh and hugs me even tighter, me hugging her too and caressing her head.

Her breath on my neck is soft, almost soothing. She's washing away my stress.

She's now pecking my neck, being the closest thing to her lips. It's not like she's giving me an hickey, just some light pecks that are almost ticklish.

"Martijn..... I want to talk to you about something" she says leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Me too" I say thinking about the 'I love you thing'.

"Who's starting?" she asks.

"Me...."

"Ok then.... Tell me"

I take a deep breath and start talking, hoping that all of this won't ruin our beautiful relationship.

"So.... Today on the phone.... You....."
Why am I locking up my feelings? I don't know what's happening with me.

"I think that we are talking about the same thing. I said 'I love you'"

Oh.....
"That's what I need to know.... How do you feel about us"

"Martijn, I promised myself not to hide things anymore.

So.

I hate you so much, I just want you to get out of my life forever"

She has an evil smile stamped on her face that makes me laugh, not believing to a single word coming out of her mouth.

"You didn't sound so serious Bae..... Hahaha!"

"Yeah, yeah. I figured that out...." she says kinda disappointed of her unsuccessful prank.

"Come on, Miné. Tell me"

She's wrapped around me, engulfed in my sweater that's big on her, but she's still looking good. So cute, she's my princess.

"I'm..... I'm catching feelings about you" she shyly admits her thoughts, leaving me partially unconscious, because... She's feeling kinda the same way that I do.

"Seriously?"

She just nods, and I know that she's telling the truth by her look that's printed into her eyes.

"I thought you were going to tell me that you are in love...."

She just closes her eyes and gets up from the chair, trying to avoid me.

"I'm sorry.... I'm not letting out my emotions right now. My brain is blocking the way out!"

"Tell me....."

"You know what I am trying to say" she says almost crying because she doesn't have the nerve to say anything.

"Yes, but I want to hear it from you"

"Martijn.... Please"

"Come on.... Say it..." I insist getting up from the chair and grabbing her cute pink cheeks in between my hands, in the softer way possible.

"I fucking love you..... I love you"

Now..... Now I'm exploding inside..... My brain is nowhere to be found right now, but I only need my heart to say

"I love you too...."
