Lost

Chapter 3

"That's awesome" I laugh and look around.

This is really the most beautiful flat I've ever seen and it belongs to a punk girl.

"I know it is" she says somewhere behind me.

I go inside and fall down on my bed. "Can I.. do not know.. do whatever I want in here?"

"If you want to fuck in here, then it's ok. These walls are really.. I won't hear anything, I promise." Joanna laughs and I blush. Great, I was never that easy going in talking like that. She is, obviously.

I just nod. "Ok, I am glad."

"I'll leave you alone for an hour or something. I really need to buy some thi.. well, you know what? Come with me, I'll show you 'round."

"Uhm, I guess I will just stay here and.. and stay here" I reply and give her a shy smile.

She shakes her head. "You sure?"

I nod yes. "Absolutely yes. Maybe somewhen else."

Joss nods. "Ok, you need something?"

"No" I say "But thank you though!"

She just nods again and then leaves me on my own before leaving the flat. I relax and look down on the floor. This is my new home. I will live here for the next.. years, maybe.

Now that I am lonely I unpack my cases and get my bed ready for the first night. It is around half past one and I am a bit hungry but I'm not sure if I should just take something from Joanna's fridge. I don't want to be rude and decide to leave the flat. But then I notice that I don't have a key. And so I end up taking the phone and let the pizza man deliver me.

In the end I sit down at the bar in the kitchen and eat a pizza Hawaii. Alone.

The same second I finish the pizza the door flies open and the punker girl named Joanna is walking back in, grinning at me like an idiot. Welcome back.

"Hi" she says "I'm just back in the house. Flat, sorry. So, you're eating pizza."

"I did. I finished already" I let her know and clean the bar again.

"Without me, next time we will eat together, I just bought some things for the first night" she says.

What is going on with this girl that she is acting like she knows me for years now?

"I thought we could just.. don't know.. hang out and do nothing?" I question awkwardly.

She shakes her head. "We can't. You and I, we will hang out in the newest club!"

"Why should we do that?" I ask her. "I am a writer, not a party girl."

"What do you write?" she asks me and looks me straight in the eyes.

I shrug my shoulders. "Mostly novels."

"The girls in your novels never go on parties?" she then wants to know.

I shake my head no. "The most are.. are older and not in that kind of live.."

"So, write a book about a party girl" Joanna states "because you and I will go out today. Full stop!"

I can't believe this is really happening. "I never really was on parties!"

She stares at me for a second, then she starts to laugh. "You what?"

"I never joined a party" I say again.

She shakes her head. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Actually I am totally normal" I whisper and blush again, because I am embarrassed.
