“You once wore a T-shirt from the movie Planet Terror. That says it all.”
“Planet Terror is a classic,” I replied, taking another large bite of the best burger in town.
Kilian did the same, then got up and grabbed orange juice from the fridge. He mixed it with sparkling water and sat back down at the table.
“How did you know I like orange juice?” he asked, continuing to eat.
“You talked about it once with Sebastian. He said he hated pulp, but you said there was nothing better. And I saw an empty bottle in the control room.”
“You’re observant.”
“Of course.”
As we ate our burgers, we exchanged glances. I loved seeing the sparkle in his eyes. They were like obsidian gleaming in the moonlight. I had never seen anyone with eyes so dark.
“We should go to your place later,” Kilian said as he wiped his fingers with the napkin.
“To my place? Why?”
He was drinking from his glass when I realized what he was planning.
“Is it that important for you to see where I live?”
“No. I just want to make sure you don’t wake up at some ungodly hour tomorrow to grab fresh clothes before work. We’ll go to your place later, stay the night, and bring a few of your things here tomorrow.”
“And what about the stuff I brought to Engelberg?”
“That’s still at my parents’ place.”
“Kind of bossy, huh?” I grinned at him.
“You like it.”
“Yeah, in bed.”
Kilian reached for my hand in his. “I’d never boss you around. You’ve got too stubborn a head for that. And I love it too much to want to change it.”
“You can’t wait to see my room,” I teased, rubbing my thumb over the back of his hand. “It’s fine. I’ve got nothing to hide. Honestly, I’m pretty boring.”
“I doubt that. I want to see the Rolling Stones posters and the vinyl records.”
“How do you know about that?” I gasped, feigning shock.
“I know certain things.” He winked at me.
Laughter erupted between us.
“You’re going to be disappointed when you see my room.”
“Why?”
“No Rolling Stones posters, no vinyl records. I’m not the type to collect stuff.”
“You can’t sleep between four white walls.”
“Nope.”
“So, what’s there to discover in your room?”
