  Do you believe in luck?

  No Love, you're my luck.

  I opened my eyes. The first time I saw him looking at me with his smile, light blond hair and blue eyes. I thought I recognized him from somewhere. I kind of remembered him but didn’t know exactly why. It also happened in just a moment. I felt his arm around my waist. I felt a weird warmth from him. He came closer and kissed me. I put my hand on his neck as a reflex like it was not the first time he was kissing me. Then we looked each other in the eyes and I closed my eyes again, because I was pnning to fall asleep again. I immediately opened my eyes again. Who the hell was this man?! Right at that moment did I really realise what just happened. There was a man next to me. I didn’t know who he was but I knew I had seen him before and he kissed me. No, I didn't even realise he was naked! What is happening? I kicked him out of the bed and he fell on the ground. ‘Auww!’ he said. ‘Who the hell are you and where are your clothes’! I said. He said with a confused face:’there, next to yours’…

  Emma: Who the hell are you and where are your clothes!

  Tyler: There, next to yours… Ummm what is happening Emma?

  Em: How do you know my name?...

  Tyler: Because you told me yesterday and I told you I’am Tyler.

  You don’t know it anymore?

  Emma: No! I mean I recognize you from somewhere but no…

  Wait a second! Did you say next to yours???

  Emma looks at her skirt and shirt at the ground and then looks at herself and the only thing she has is her underwear.

  Emma: What did you do! No, don’t look at me like that,I feel so embarrassed!...

  Tyler: Aww that’s so cute you said the same yesterday!...

  Emma quickly puts her clothes on and then throws his shirt at him.

  He understands the assignment and puts his shirt on. Just at that moment they hear sounds.

  Emma: No, no, no they can't see you.

  She grabs him by his arm and opens the closet. He takes his pants off the ground and she pushes him in the closet.

  At that moment Sara comes into the room.

  Sara: Hey, did you stay here? I thought you were with Olivia…

  Emma: Yeah, that’s right… Do you have a minute?

  Sara: Yes?

  Emma: Just us two…

  Sara: Guys I’ll come ter, have fun!

  Emma Closed the door and turned to Sara.

  Sara: Emma, what’s wrong you're acting weird.

  Emma: Sara don’t panic, I have to show you something!

  Sara: What's the problem?

  Emma: This is the problem.

  Emma opens the closet and they see Tyler trying to put his pants on.

  Emma looks at Sara and sees her not being very happy with the half naked man in the closet. She quickly closes the closet again with angry eyes on him.

  Emma: I didn’t imagine it like this…

  Sara: What is happening? And why is there a naked man in the closet?!

  Emma: I can expin! I mean I guess..

  Then the closet slowly opens again.

  Sara: Emma, did you guys…?

  Emma: No! I mean yes! I mean…

  Sara: Okay look Em…

  Emma: I don’t know how Tyler is!

  Sara: What? You don’t know who TYLER is?

  Emma: Yup…

  Tyler: Can I just…

  Emma: Sara: Shut up!

  Tyler: O okay…

  Emma: Listen I woke up and he was just lying next to me and…

  Sara: And he took his pants off I assume.

  Emma: Well he already had them off and I also did, but really I have no Idea how he has come here and knows my name and yeah…

  Sara: Okay, I get it you're just really drunk and you don’t remember anything. Wait, you have to drink some water.

  Sara walks out of the room.

  Emma: What did you do? Did you put something in my drink or something? Did you make me drunk?

  Tyler: No I would never do such a thing Love… You should know that. I don’t get it. Why don’t you remember me? You were so happy the whole night and now you just act like a stranger.

  Emma: But I am a stranger! And why do you call me love?!

  Tyler: No youre not…

  Emma: Well… Then tell me everything we did.

  Tyler: Ummm yeah I guess you won’t be very happy to know ‘everything’ right now…

  Emma: Why? What are you hiding then?

  What… You mean… We … like really…

  Tyler: No! I didn’t mean it like that. What I actually meant was that you weren’t very happy about it and it was my fault so…

  Emma: What so you're confessing now! I’am going to kill you!

  Emma grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him to the wall. She made a vist in her hand and just when she was about to sp him…

  Tyler: No, no please that’s not what I meant….

  Sara : No Emma stop, what is going on?

  Emma: Sara, he just said it himself. He said that I didn’t want it and he used me!

  Tyler: No! That’s not even the way I said it!

  Sara: What!? Emma move away! He is mine.

  Sara takes the chair next to her, pulls it up and…!

  Tyler: Emma threw up on me!

  Sara: What?

  Emma: I did what? Tyler: I said it was my fault because you had drunk so much already and I forced you to dance and then you threw up on me and were upset and bmed yourself about it and yeah.

  Emma: Ooohh so you were talking about that…

  Okay then. O wait, I'm sorry for throwing up on you.

  Tyler: No it really doesn’t matter.

  Sara: Emma, here drink this.

  Sara: Sorry for trying to hit you with a chair.

  Tyler: No problem, I get it. I would do the same.

  Emma: So can you finally just tell us everything that happened.

  Tyler: So actually the throwing up part was some in the beginning of the evening.

  I accidentally poured your drink and bought you a nieuw one.

  We had a chat and then went to dance. And yeah that’s when you threw up.

  We went to the bathroom to clean up and washed your face.

  After that we went to some pce close to the club and ate burgers.

  We talked a lot and had a lot of fun…

  Emma: What kind of fun?

  Tyler: Ummm yeah,… you know I guess.

  Emma: Did I also have fun?

  Tyler: Yeah,.. You definitely did!

  Emma: Looks irritated at Tyler and then turns to Sara.

  Sara: Emma how is it possible that you said you were with Olivia and it turned out you were just with some guy?

  Emma: Yeah, I actually guess that I really was pnning to go with Olivia but then I guess she was going to see someone and was just away for a few minutes and I don’t know the rest.

  Tyler: Well, you said when we first met that you were waiting for a friend and ter you said she was not coming, so you stayed with me.

  Emma: And is there nothing else that happened?

  Tyler: No, that is really everything.

  Emma: Wait what time is it?

  Sara: It is like 3 pm, why?

  Emma: I have to visit my mom today.

  Sara: Tyler, maybe you should go now.

  Tyler: Okay, but I’ll see you ter right?

  Emma: No, I don’t wanna see you again.

  Tyler: Emma I don’t know what is going on right now but after everything that happened you can’t say that.

  Emma: Listen Tyler, I don’t know what you're talking about but I don’t have time for this right now.

  Tyler: Okay, but please let’s keep seeing each other. Here…

  Tyler looks out for his phone in the room. He sees that the phone is on the table. He takes the pen and the paper that are also on the table and writes down his number.

  He reaches the paper out to Emma.

  Tyler: Please call me Emma, you may not remember anything but I do.

  Emma takes the paper with hesitation.

  Emma: Okay…, well you should go now then.

  They walk to the front door. Emma opens the door. Tyler one st time looks in her eyes like he expects something to happen and then leaves. Emma closes the door.

  Sara: Emma can you still not get over it.

  Emma: What? I’am just visiting my mothers grave like every normal daughter does.

  Sara: Emma, I know that you feel like you have to do this, but please it has been 5 years. You don’t owe her anything… You never did.

  Emma: Sara I just… I just want to stop this right now! This conversation okay?

  Sara: Alright, then I’am coming with you.

  Emma: No ! I should go alone.

  Sara: Let me at least be with you.

  Emma: Sara!

  Sara: No Emma! I won’t just let you go there alone okay?

  I know what happens every time after you’ve gone there and I will always try to prevent that from happening.

  Emma: Well… okay then.

  Sara grabs Emma by her arms and looks her worried in the eyes.

  Sara: Hey, Emma don’t get too upset , okay?

  Sara pulls Emma to herself and gives her a big hug.

  After that they both leave the house.

  I saw her big earrings which were swinging up and down. They were silver colored hoops. She was dancing like it was the st day of her life. She had brouwn eyes, dark hair end glowing light skin. I wanted to talk to her, but at that moment I felt someone pushing me forwards. Probably some drunk guy.

  My hand spped her gss on the ground.I felt terrible. I just spilled the drink of the girl who was maybe the girl of my dreams. ‘Hey!’ she said of course with an angry face, but she saw that I didn’t do it on purpose and softened her look.

  I immediately said ‘ I'm so sorry are you alright?’.

  —At that night—

  Tyler: I'm so sorry are you alright?

  Emma: Yeah I’am alright don’t worry it’s just a drink. Tyler: No, please let me buy you a new one.

  Emma: Okay then…

  Tyler asked the barman for a new drink and gave it to Emma. Emma: Thank you.

  Tyler: If I may ask, are you here alone?

  Emma ughs softly…

  Emma: Yes, you may ask and I’am actually waiting for a friend but I think she is not coming.

  Tyler: You don’t seem like you’re really upset because she let you down. Uhh I’am sorry that was not my business.

  Emma: No it’s not a problem I mean yeah I actually would be upset but not todayyy.

  Tyler: Why is it like your birthday or something?

  Emma: Yeah it is….

  Tyler: Wait, you're serious?

  Emma: I’am totally serious…

  Tyler: Wow, uhh… happy birthday!

  Emma: Thanks!

  Emma: Do you wanna know something special?

  Tyler: Uhhh, yeah sure…

  Emma: You are the first one to wish me a happy birthday in years!

  Tyler: Really? Why…

  Emma: Just because I don’t celebrate it.

  Tyler: Don’t you have anyone you can celebrate with?

  Emma: I do, but…

  Tyler: But what?

  Emma : You know what I guess you’re here alone to, so maybe I can celebrate it with you?

  Tyler: Yeah that sounds really nice!...

  Tyler: I’am tyler.

  They gently shake hands.

  Emma: Nice to meet you Tyler. I’am Emma.
