“Let’s get you cleaned up.” With one sweeping scoop of his arms, Charles picked up Henrik. If he remembered the layout of the apartment correctly, there seemed to be a bathroom at the other end of Henrik’s bedroom. The Swiss man nodded and laid his head against Charles’ chest. There would be much to talk about tomorrow morning.

Chapter Six

Despite being reluctant to go, Charles finally left Henrik’s apartment once the sun hung bright in the sky and the sunlight poured through the curtains and onto the bed. Before gathering and cleaning up his clothes, Charles leaned down to give Henrik a small kiss on his forehead before heading out. The man was still groggy, rubbing his eyes awake once Charles did so. There was something different about this feeling- something different from any other one night stand Charles had experienced before. Could this even be classified as a one night stand? Charles wasn’t sure himself.

Charles stepped into brightly lit streets. Being an early Sunday morning, few people were out, with the majority of those walking the streets seeming to be heading off to church. Although he would have wished to stay longer, Charles still had work to attend to. The weekday had lent him some free time, something that was not easily accessed during business trips like these. Charles could not help sigh at the thought of having to do even more work now that he was to return back to the hotel.

Slowly yet surely, Charles returned back to the hotel. A few of his coworkers had gathered near the entrance, each of them holding a cup of coffee or tea in their hand.

“Oh, Charles! Did you go out for a morning walk? We’ve just gathered here so we can wait for Jones to come back from a local bakery. He’s getting pastries, if you’d like one.”

One of Charles’ closer coworkers came over, grabbing another cup of coffee from the welcome desk area before shoving it into Charles’ hands. The woman’s name was Rebecca, a long time coworker of Charles who had entered the company around the same time Charles had too. Coincidentally, the two had gone to the same college, a fact that they realized only after encountering each other at the water cooler on one eventful workday.

“I’m fine, I’ll probably get something after the meeting. Tell Jones I say thank you, though. It’s quite hot out today.” Charles gestured to the entrance of the hotel. “Is there any news about our status here? I’ve heard that the President is thinking about extending our time here.” Secretly, Charles hoped that Rebecca would agree. It would have given him more hope of staying longer.

“I think you’re right. I also heard that we might be staying here a bit longer just so we can sort out a few internal politics. God, isn’t it crazy? I only packed a week’s worth of clothes but we’ve already been here for so long…”

Rebecca placed a hand on her head in disbelief, shivering at the thought of staying longer.
