The Only Demon I Believe in is Myself

Maybe We're Getting Somewhere

This bed, it was softer. I took a large deep breath of the covers and they smelt like fresh laundry with the subtle hint of a mans natural scent. I flung the large arms to the side and he sat up " don't cuddle me." I stated nuzzling my face deeper into the pillow. "sorry" he irritatedly replied.

I pulled the covers over to have a little more extra. "are you serious?" He loudly questioned. "fuck off I wanna go back to sleep." I watched his naked backside slip on a pair of boxers before leaving the room. I turned facing the inside of the bed and spread out falling unconscious within minutes.

"Hey Aeri" a hushed echo repeated in my head. It caused me to finally open my eyes and the big dingus was kneeled in front of me. "What Alex?" I asked giving a harsh look. "I'm sorry for being an ass earlier, I was still kinda drunk." "it's whatever." "do you think we could maybe go get lunch" he asked hopefully. "I'm hungry sure." "great, I washed your clothes from yesterday." He sat a pile by my feet.

I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes "I'll stick with this" I told him. "you look beautiful." He smiled. "Im not gonna have sex with you. Do you have a beanie?" I threw the covers back and slowly stood up. "I'm just saying, but yeah." He dug through a drawer and handed me. 'NKYD' was printed in the front "this okay?" He asked. "eh" he went back and handed me a darker black 'CG' beanie. I slid it over my bed head and pulled my shoes on.

"What's with all the CG stuff?" I asked closing the car door. "It's my band." He smiled back out of the spot. "name?" I questioned pulling a bright green pack from my bag. "Chelsea Grin." "That's barbaric." I stated rolling the window down as I lit the ciggerette end. "It's a metal band." "Oh, an occasional thing?" I asked blowing the smoke out of the window. "No 7 to 8 months out of the year I tour around the world." He explained "oh cool I guess."

"Yeah, what do you do?" He questioned. "Jobs arn't an essential to life. It just kinda buys in to the governments idea of conformity." I offered him a chalky white stick. "Ahh sticking it to the man." He took one and pulled out his zippo. "Yeah, sorta." I coughed. "So speaking of jobs we actually have a small gig tomorrow and you wanted to know if you maybe wanna come." He sheepishly asked.

"Are there gonna be booze." I glanced at him. "yeah, there always is." he laughed. "Sure, I guess." "great, I'll pick you up and introduce you to everyone." he continued smiling that toothy grin
