Previously on Reden...

— After returning from Amrum, the guys were fully focused on the next album, so I didn't have much direct contact with Bill, just through messages, which made me doubt his feelings a bit. Yes, I know he was busy, but it had been four days since he had any time to see me, not even five minutes, we barely even talked during the day, and it was driving me crazy, completely crazy. I needed to talk to someone about it...

— Sis, I say, entering Anne's room and noticing her closing her laptop when she sees me. I need advice, I continue, looking into her eyes as I sit on the edge of her bed.

— About...? she asks, putting her laptop aside.

— How did you know you were in love with Tom? I ask, looking at her, and she gets a thoughtful expression.

— We never know, we just feel it. I looked at him and wanted to be with him, wanted to be there with him forever. I desired him, and whenever I saw him, I felt my mouth go dry, and I was just so happy, Anne says, completely lost in her thoughts as she looks at me, and I swallow hard.

— And... how did you know he was in love with you? I inquire, intrigued.

— He showed it, and he also told me about it. And the looks... you can discover everything with the looks, she says, looking at me. Why this curiosity, Ceci?

— It's just that... I start hesitantly, looking at her, unsure of her reaction when I tell her. I think I like Bill, and I like him a lot, I confess all at once, leaving Anne completely flabbergasted.

— I KNEW IT! Anne exclaims, looking at me with wide eyes, making me widen mine. I mean... how did this happen? she asks, calmer now.

— You know I've always been obsessed with the Kaulitz twins, and now that I know them, especially Bill, and how kind... polite... sweet... caring he is...

— Okay, okay, I've been with Bill, I know what he's like. You can skip that part, Anne interrupts, and I roll my eyes, shaking my head.

— I realized that I don't see him anymore as a platonic crush. I really think I'm in love with him... I say, looking at her, and she nods.

— Well... he's four years older than you, Ceci.

— Three, three years, I'll turn fifteen in a few months, I correct her.

— Yes, but for now, you have a four-year age difference, she says, looking at me. Have you talked to him about this? she asks.

— No, actually... he must know about it since we kissed once, I lie at this point, it would be too much for her if I told her everything that happened and that I'm dating him.

— A-ah... y-you... kissed? she stammers, and I chuckle weakly.

— Yeah, did I blow your mind? I joke.

— How did that happen? she asks.

— He was upset about thinking you'd finally choose Tom, and we started talking about possibilities that could happen if he didn't end up with you, and then our eyes met... and... he kissed me. Feeling his lips on mine was completely surreal... I conclude the story, looking at her, lost in thought. Anne? I call her.

— Wow... it was a big kiss for Cecilia, she says, and I laugh excitedly.

— Yeah, I can't believe I kissed Bill Kaulitz. It's completely crazy, I say, all giddy, looking at her.

— It was amazing, Ceci, Anne says, getting up to grab her coat from the wardrobe.

— Wait, where are you going? I ask, puzzled.

— I need to go to the store to buy milk, I'll be right back, Anne says, giving me a kiss on the top of my head before leaving the room.

Something tells me Anne didn't go to the store to buy milk...
