“Great! At least I know what she had for dinner.” Howie thought as he picked up his new friend and lead her to the bathroom. He sat her up next to the toilet in case she throws up again. He went back to his room to change the sheet, when he returned, he found Kristen asleep on the tiled floor.
When he finished cleaning up the bathroom, exhaustion overwhelmed him, he lay down on the bed, completely forgot that there’s someone next to him, and he fell asleep the instant his eyes closed. Howie was sleeping on his left side, with his right arm on Kristen’s stomach. Kristen was facing Howie, with her arms around his neck. They slept peacefully, until the next morning, when Howie’s alarm went off.
“Kevin?” DeaAnne whispered. When she didn’t get a response, she looked at the man next to her. He had fallen asleep.
Smiling to herself, she studied him. He seems a few years younger in his sleep, his firm jaw showed his character - perfectionist and serious. DeaAnne traced the outline of his lips with her eyes, remembering how they took her breath away. She moved closer to him and closed her eyes.
“This movie is boring.” Nick yawned playfully.
“Hey, I like this movie!” Angela protested. They were on her bed, watching the Princess Bride, which was one of Angela’s favorite movies. “And you made me watch Aliens!”
“As you wish.” Nick said, mocking the character in the movie.
“Shh, here’s my favorite part.”
“Sorry.” Nick whispered and stretched his arms then turned to his side.
“Tired?” Angela teased.
“A little, I’m just gonna take a nap.” Nick replied sleepily.
“Okay.” Angela turned off the TV and VCR. She walked to the living room to find her sister, but she found her on the couch, cuddling next to Kevin. Sleeping. Angela went and got a blanket and placed it over their sleeping forms then head back to her room.
“I was wondering where you went.” Nick opened his eyes.
“Nowhere, I’m back now. Scoot over.” Angela told him as she lie down. “Night.”
“Night. Do you have guys over often?” Nick blurt out, then regretted his comment.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing, I was just wondering if Travis had ever spend the night.”
“Nope, he tired, but I kicked him out.” Angela smiled.
“Oh, you won’t kick me out, would you?”
“Depends, now close your eyes and go to bed.”
“As you wish.” Nick smiled sweetly.
When Howie opened his eyes, the first thing that came to his sight was a girl’s sleeping face. She looked so peaceful. Not knowing what to do, Howie stumbled out his room and ran right into Brian.
“You okay?” Howie didn’t answered, he pointed to his room. Brian froze at the sight of a woman on Howie’s bed. “What’s going on?” Brian asked.
“I dunno.” Howie whispered. Their voiced woke Kristen, she yawned and looked around, and she was surprise to see two guys staring at her in terror. The guys gave her a weak smile and closed the door.
“Hey, Rok, did I do anything with her last night?” Howie asked.
“How am I suppose to know?” Brian said, sounding clearly frustrated.
“You were next door!”
“I wore earplugs.”
“You’re so supportive!” Howie told his friend sarcastically.
“Thank you. Now go and talk to your lady friend.”
Howie exhaled and walked back to his room. He came face to face with Kristen.
