I hung up. "At 11 ... It's almost like a date ..." I looked at the clock. "Three quarters of the 11th. So he's coming soon, my sweet Tom ...", I thought of my Tom with love. Then I realized that Tom would be there in fifteen minutes and that I would still be in my nightgown ... I ran into the bathroom, got dressed within seconds, brushed my teeth and put on make-up so that I looked good too.
When I had just finished the doorbell rang. I took a quick look in the mirror, then opened the door. There was my beloved Tom.
"Come on in"
"O.k., I also got popcorn as ordered"
“Oh, really?” I didn't understand what he had just said, but it had to be a good thing, it came from Tom after all.
"Are we going up?" He asked.
"What? ... uh ... yes!"
Arrived in my room ...
"Have a seat, Tom."
"O.k., thank you. You, Jasmin, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"Is it true that you like me. Because ... well ... Moritz told me.""Should I really be honest? ... Um ... well ... Yes, it's true."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Really really?"
"Yes!"
"O.k., I believe you. Then that would be done now ... And now: tell me the whole story!"
I felt kind of stupid. Somehow I had imagined it all to be a little different. But Tom ... he looked at me expectantly. With his chocolate brown dog eyes. So I told the whole story. Fifteen minutes and a bucket of popcorn later I had finally finished telling the story.
Tom moved closer to me so that his face was only 2cm away from mine. Then he asked: "Would you like to do that too?" and kissed me. I was completely perplexed. I just couldn't say anything. But inside I was cheering. Hey, that was my first kiss and from Tom too. This moved away again. And smiled at my puzzled face. A few seconds later, I hesitantly tried to smile back. Tom looked at his watch "Oh, it's so late.I have to go."
"Oh ... uh ... I'll take you to the door."

When Tom was gone and I was back in my room, I started cheering loudly and jumping for joy. After that, I ran all over the house and hugged everything in my way. So does Moritz. But I couldn't just walk past him because he held my arm.
"Have you done any drugs or why are you running around the house like a hugging bear?"
"Um ... I don't think you want to know."
"Oh, is it Tom?"
"Uh, no ... well ... How do you know it's Tom?"
"Male Intuition"
"There's nothing like that"
"So what"
I just tore myself away and ran on like a "hugging bear" through the house.

Moritz took out the phone. He dialed Tom's number and waited for him to answer.
"Yes hello?"
"What did you do with my sister?"
"Me not."
"Say it, please! I can't take it anymore! ... Hey, hey, Jasmin, don't hug the expensive Mingh vase!""What's going on with you guys?"
"What did you do to her?"
"I kissed her, otherwise no-"
"WHAT? What are you thinking of !?"
"Hey, take it easy. I just did it for fun."
"She's crazy because of you! - Hey, Jasmin, stop it! - Bye, I have to take care of Jasmin BECAUSE OF YOU!" He hung up angrily. "What is he thinking of !? Nobody is allowed to do that without my permission! After all, she is MY sister!", Moritz got upset. "No, stop, Jasmin!"
Crash !! Then the vase fell out of my arms. "Man, Jasmin, do you know how expensive it is ?!"
"Sorry ..." I mumbled.
"If mom sees this, she'll kill you."
"As in all the cartoons, we can try to glue the vase together. It always works."
"No, in the cartoons it always comes out at the end that the vase is broken. And you should learn from it that you should tell the truth right away. And we do that too. But only when mom is home ..... .If we haven't found a good hiding place by then ... "We spent the whole day looking for a suitable hiding place. We just heard the key turning in the lock when we finally stowed the vase safely under Moritz's bed. We ran into the kitchen pretending to be making dinner.
As we ate, Moritz said: "Lara is staying here again today."
"Great, I'll fix up the guest room in a minute!" I said.
"No, no, you misunderstood that. I said: Lara stayed the night. That means you can move into the guest room so you can't listen again."
"Well, then I'll make her so dirty today that she will voluntarily go home earlier."
"Even you can't be that disgusting. And that means something."
We argued for about half an hour ... and then I moved into the guest room.
When I went to bed later, amazingly, I fell asleep straight away.

The next morning I woke up very late. The ringing of my cell phone woke me up.I looked at the display. Strangely, Moritz called me.
"Yes?"
"I just wanted to wake you up ...", Moritz laughed.
I could hear the last of his words live because my brother entered the guest room.
"Good morning!" He said, continuing to speak into the phone.
I looked at him. "Morning, Moritz! Get out of here! I want to sleep !!"
"Well ... Oh, by the way, Tom is here."
Immediately I was sitting upright in bed.
"T-t-tom is w-really here?"
"Yes, 'T-t-tom' is really there. He wanted to see you", Moritz stuttered contrived. He hung up and left the room.
