Noortje’s POV

Tony and I stepped into our house. Even though I had only been living here for a few weeks, it really felt like home. I will forever thank Tony for letting me live here. This place was seriously amazing and it was even better since I got to share it with one of my best friends.

I dropped my bags and ran to the living room. I dove straight on the couch and stretched out. Tony walked in and acted like he didn’t see me. He grabbed the TV remote and sat down on my legs.

“Noooooo. Get off!” I whined.
Tony sighed and got more comfortable.
“No! Ouch! Ouch!” I screamed.
He still ignored me.
“No really! You’re seriously fucking hurting me Tony! Get off!.” I said in the most serious voice while trying to push him off.
He jumped off and looked at me with wide concerned eyes, “I’m so sorry. Are you ok?”
I sat up and pouted, “Yeah. Now my legs hurt.”
“Is there anything I can do?” Tony said with a concerned tone.

I nodded and grinned before running off.
“Oh no you didn’t!” Tony shouted from behind me.
Soon after I heard loud footsteps follow me and I started feeling an adrenaline rush. I made a sharp turn towards the corridor and skidded, almost hitting the wall.
“You will never get me!” I giggled.
“Don’t underestimate my power!”

I continued running and was stuck at a dead end. It was either be caught or run up the stairs and made wall and break a few bones. The most sensible, of course, was give up. But me being me and me having an adrenaline rush, made the decision of running up the stairs. I stumbled a few times, but was always able to recover. Tony was now getting really close. I ran into my bedroom and plummeted on the bouncy bed. I turned around and saw Tony jump of after me landing straight onto me.

“I got you now.” He grinned.
“Oh no, I’m so scared.” I said with sarcasm.
“Hmm… you should be.” He started tickling me and I was squirming underneath him.
“No! Can’t. Breathe. Right. Now.” I managed to say through giggles.
“Say ‘Tony you are the best person in the world and I love you with all my heart’.”
“No!”
“Are you sure about that?” He started tickling me even more, finding my most ticklish spot .
“Ok! Tony you are the best person in the world and I love you with all my heart!” I screamed out, begging for air to fill my lungs again.
“That will do. But I can’t let you go just yet.”

He pinned my hand above my head and looked at me. I looked back at him and took in his facial features. His face was barely illuminated but I could still make out his beautiful eyes and precious lips. He slowly started to lean towards me. I wanted to move up to him so our lips could meet already, but his grip didn’t allow me to. All I could do was patiently wait and I closed my eyes. I could feel his warm and comforting breath against me and craved for more. Our lips almost touched and-

Ring! Tony groaned and rolled off me.
“Hello?” Tony sighed while rubbing his face.
“No, I’m not busy, why would you you think I was?” He continued, “Vic! You can’t just say that! You seriously think I would be banging- No, no we are not having this conversation right now.” So it was Vic who decided to interrupt us.. again. What is his problem? He is the one that want’s us together, but he still seems to make sure it never happens. “What did you want anyway?... Ok, yea sure, you can have the guest room… I already said we weren’t having this conversation! No, you are not forcing this on me. I’m going to hang up the phone.”
Tony pulled the phone away and stared at it. You could hear Vic talking through the speaker and Tony boringly said, “Bye Vic!”
I giggled a bit and you could hear Vic exclaim, “Is that Noortje!” he then continued with his talking.
Tony pulled the phone further away from him “Bye Vic. Byeeee!”
Vic was still mid speech and Tony hung up on him.

“Can’t that guy ever stop?” Tony laughed.
“Yea.” I fake laughed back.
“So, Vic is coming over and staying till we are leaving. Something about the heating and a microwave. To be honest I didn’t even listen to his reasoning.”
“Yea, sure that’s fine.”
There was an awkward silence between us.
“I think I am going to bed.” I announced.
“Ok.” Tony said seated on my bed as I walked over to my closet that still had a few clothes in it.
I looked at him and cleared my throat.
“Oh yeah. Sorry. I should probably go.” With that he jogged out of my bedroom before running back and declaring, “Sorry, forgot my phone.”

I laughed and started changing after he had closed the door

Tony’s POV

I was in the guitar room when the doorbell rang. It was probably Vic. I was kinda pissed at him. He managed to interrupt us again, his timing was always perfect. First in the bus, and then yesterday night. Maybe it was just the way of the universe to tell me that Noortje and I weren’t supposed to be together.

I suddenly remembered that the doorbell had rung and quickly ran to the frontdoor.
“I’ll get it!” I shouted when I was a few steps away from the door. I got no response… weird. Normally Noortje would at least scream an ok… I knew she was awake, I saw her earlier today. There was no time for worrying because I was met with a freezing Vic at the door.

“What took you so long!” He shivered.
“I’m sorry… I was lost in my thoughts.” I mumbled.
“Damn right you were. It probably took ages to come out of that maze!”
“Oh shut up.” I laughed a bit. I actually wasn’t in the mood of his humour, but it was rude not to go along with it.
“Why don’t we get something to drink? Then we can put your bags in the guest room and do whatever the fuck we want.” I suggested.
“Yeah, sure.” Vic said while hanging up his coat.

We walked into the kitchen and it was a complete mess. Noortje was sitting at the counter eating cake mix and crying.
“What’s going on here?” I asked really confused while looking around the place. There were baking appliances everywhere and the whole place was covered in flour, egg, and chocolate.
“I don’t know” Noortje sobbed, “I was craving cake so I decided to make cake, but I then decided to eat the mix and it tastes so good. Then I started to realise that my life has come to eating cake mix.”
Vic and I looked at each other befuddled and back at Noortje.
“So that’s why you are crying?” I inquired.
She nodded her head, “Who’s so pathetic that they start eating cake mix!”
“You aren’t pathetic.” I assured.
“But I am! Just look at me!” Noortje whined.
“Is it that time of the month again?” Vic suddenly asked while I took out two glasses from the cupboard.
“No.” She cried, “That was due a week ago, but I guess it didn’t happen. But I’m not complaining. Well I am… but for different reasons.”
I filled the glasses with water and gave one to Vic.
“Are you pregnant?” Vic blurted out.
“Yeah, ‘cause I had sex with Casper the ghost, and I guess we forgot to use protection.” She snorted.
“But still…” I said. God, I hoped she wasn’t pregnant. It would mean that she slept with someone that wasn’t me! I started to feel jealous, even though I had no right to be.
“This is really awkward to talk about with you guys ok?... But no, I shouldn’t be… Unless one of you guys took advantage of me while I was drugged up….”
“Oh god no!” I screamed out.
“Well…” Vic started but then stopped.
“Well what!” I started freaking out.
“There was this time when you were drugged up and we were all drunk… I found you and Mike naked in his bunk… But I’m pretty sure nothing happened…. But then again I’m not sure. I was wasted.”
I spit out water I didn’t even know I had in my mouth. Vic looked at me weirdly while Noortje was staring at her cake mix with terrified eyes.
“Please tell me nothing happened.” Noortje whispered.
I waited for Vic to tell us what I wanted to hear. If she would have slept with Mike I would have no clue what to do. Even worse would be if she was pregnant with his baby. But all Vic did was standing still and not making a noise.

I put down my glass of water and walked out of the house, slamming the door behind me. I couldn’t believe it. There was only one thing I could do.

Notes

Is Noortje pregnant? and where did Tony disappear to?

This chapter was going to be a lot longer. But I thought it was to long, so I split it in half. Expect the second half to be either up today or tomorrow.
