NOT NOW // D.S

2.4

We sat and talked for a while, sometimes just sitting and watching the TV.

"Can we go get ice cream?" I asked from beside him.

I was sitting with one of my legs draped over his leg, his hand on my calf drawing shapes.

"That sounds so good," he agreed, he was a few beers in and I was a couple of glasses of wine deep. I leaned over and gave him a quick kiss before standing up.

We both slipped on some shoes and I grabbed my wallet before we headed out.

"Yeah it's crazy," a deep voice said as Drew started to opened the door. We both froze.

"That's my brother," I whispered. Drew nodded looking threw the peep hole, very slowly shutting the door.

Then there was a knock on his door. He looked out the peep hole again.

"It's him, what do I do?" he asked in a paniced whisper, looking back at me. I shrugged.

"See what he wants and get him to leave," I whispered.

"Hide in the bedroom"

I nodded and turned to head to the bedroom as Drew opened the door. I could hear him and my brother great each other.

"Hey!"

"Hey"

"Have you read the new script? I was just talking to Deion about on the phone"

"I haven't yet, I was going to grab some food then read it"

I sat on the edge of Drew's bed listening to the conversation.

"Oh sweet, I'll go with you! My sisters at Madelyn's so I need a dinner date," I heard my brother laugh.

I rolled my eyes at him, this man was clueless.

"Uh, actually I had plans to meet up with someone," Drew said.

"Oh shit dude, your secret girl!"

It went silent for a moment, Drew was probably nodding.

"I get it bro, I'll leave you be, I better get some details after!"

I heard the front door close but still waited a second before peaking my head out of the bedroom.

Drew was heading towards me, he gave me a thumbs up. I stepped out of the room, Drew wrapping me in a hug.

"He's an idiot," I laughed, wrapping my arms around him.

"How he has not a single clue, amazes me," Drew laughed.

"How long should we wait before we try and go?" I asked as we parted, heading towards him main part of his apartment.

"I saw we just go because now I can't stop thinking about ice cream," he said. I smiled up at him, nodding.

We double checked we had everything and then left his apartment, making our way to the elevator, hand in hand.

Once we made it into the elevator I stood beside Drew, our hands still interlocked, my head resting on the side of his shoulder, my eyes shut taking in the moment.
