Tokio Hotel Chapter 10

"…You were out long. What happened?"

I walked through the door, ignoring Yas' question. Bill's hand was clasped firmly in mine, and I pulled him behind me, with perhaps a little too much enthusiasm.

"You want a coffee now?"

"Sure, Yas. Make it two."

We both sat down, watching Yas as she searched for clean cups. It took her a while to figure out that the previous cups needed washing.

"So, Hana…how long are you here for?"

"However long I want to be." I smiled at Bill as I replied.

"I won't be here for a few Tage, but don't worry, I'll make sure I see you before we leave."

"How come?" I took my coffee from Yas' hands.

"Recording. We've got a few more songs to do."

"Wow!" I still found Bill's 'job' amazing. Much more exciting than the usual jobs where I lived.

For the next hour or so, Bill told me about his new songs, and about a new album he had planned. His voice was incredibly smooth and had me lost in a trance,; I could hear him but I wasn't really listening. His eyes sparkled with all the new musical prospects that lay ahead of him. He used a lot of hand movements the more he got into a conversation. His face lit up when he told me about the upcoming England tour.

"…I can't wait! You will come, right? I'll try and…ohh scheiße…"

"…Huh?" I sat up, suddenly aware of my surroundings.

„Funf Uhr! Ich muss gehen! Tom! Wo ist Tom?"

„Hier, Bill. Was ist los?"

„Es ist funf Uhr!"

„Scheiße, Bill!"

I gave them both a look of confusion.

"Bill, I don't understand!"

He leaned over the table towards me, and kissed my lips.

"I have to go. I won't see you for a while. I'll call you, okay?"

I smiled at Bill as he rose from his chair. Then, I got up myself, and ran towards him, wrapping my arms around him.

"You better."

He kissed me again, and left, Tom following behind him. Tom winked at Yas as he walked, and then closed the door. Both myself and Yas sat down on the nearest sofa. I sighed. Those two sure had hectic lives.

My phone was on the table next to me, untouched. All I had to do now was wait for a phone call.

Four days later my phone rang. The first time in four days. Obviously I was of little importance back home.

I looked at the phone screen. 'Bill Mobile' was written across it. I hastily answered, excitement coming over me.

"Good news, Hana! We didn't finish recording in time!"

Why was that good? Bill really confused me sometimes.

"…We're staying for another zwei Woche!"

Ahh. Now I understood.

"That's great! When will we next see each other?"

"Well, that's ein zierlich Problem. I won't be able to see you during the day, but is tomorrow night okay? I have something planned."

"…Sure! What is it?!"

"You'll see…" I could tell Bill was pleased with his idea. "I have to go now, but I'll pick you up at eleven tomorrow night. Okay?"

"I'll look forward to it. Tchüss, Bill."

"Tchüss, Hana."

I put the phone down, now feeling overly curious. What had Bill got planned?

I walked out into the living room, and sat opposite Yas. She was watching some sort of Portuguese reality show, and looked thankful to have me as a distraction.

"Was that Bill?"

"Yeah, it was. He's coming round tomorrow night. Said he's got something planned, but he wouldn't tell me what it is…"

Yas leaned forwards, her eyes glistening.

"Tom told me about that! You'll love it!"

And then she added, with a more serious tone, "You're really lucky, you know. Bill's a real special guy. I envy you. I know I've got Tom, but we're nothing serious. Bill really does like you a lot. Don't ever let him get away, Hana."

I tried to imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't met Bill. I'd probably still be stuck at home, with no current job and no proper qualifications to help me get one. Okay, I still didn't have a job or any more qualifications, but I had other things. I'd travelled. I'd got out of the same routine. And most importantly, I had a man in my life that adored me. And I adored him. Even without my family and friends with me, I still felt loved. I'd never felt like how I felt right now. And I most certainly wasn't going to lose that feeling.

"Trust me, Yas, not having Bill in my life is the last thing I want. Don't worry, I won't lose him."

I smiled at her, and she smiled back. And we sat with each other and reflected on our thoughts for at least another hour, the TV still on in the background, though no one was listening.
