Present day
February 9th, 2012
The television blared on from the night before, disturbing the silence of the usually peaceful morning. The birds and trees were silent as well. Perhaps they were still asleep as Louis and I were.

"Lou? Louis? What's that noise?"
I woke up in a daze on the couch with light suddenly shining in my face. Louis was still laying on me, his head rested on my lap from last night.
"Louis? are you asleep?"
He didn't move or stir, so I took it as he was was.
"Louis..." I whispered sweetly. I rubbed the back of my hand across his forehead and ran my hand through his hair. When that didn't work, I deeply kissed his lips and his eyes fluttered open.
"Darling!" he sleepily stuttered after pulling away, "you're up? It's 6 am!"
I laughed to myself and kissed him again. "Good morning, baby," I mumbled in between kisses.
"Why is the television on? Did we fall asleep before the movie was over?"
"Oh! That's what that noise was," I realized. I had not known that we left the television on. I do faintly remember voices as I woke up half asleep this morning, but just imagined they were in my head.
"It's 'Friends'! How did that get back on!"
"The channel must've gotten flipped." I smiled and stretched my arms and put them around Louis, picking up the remote. "'The One with the Monkey.' I don't quite remember that one. What happens again?"
I laid my head onto Louis' legs, as he began to brush through my hair with his hands. He loved to play with my hair. He appeared to be thinking to himself, but it made him look ditzy so I laughed.
"What?" he laughed. "I think I remember what this one's about. Ross gets a monkey or something"
"Well dub," I laughed. "It's called 'The One with the Monkey!'" I giggled and playfully pushed him over. He started laughing too, so I looked at the channel guide. I robotically read off the description.
"It says, 'The gang make a pact not to bring dates to their New Years Eve party. Phoebe starts dating a scientist. Ross compensates for his loneliness by getting a monkey'"
