"Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home"

Rosa once again opened her groggy eyes finding herself laying flat on her stomach on a couch. She yawned slightly and stretched her arms out feeling the muscles tighten from the uncomfortable position she slept on the couch. She remembers her couch being a lot more comfortable and that's when her sight became more clear. She was laying on top of a black leather couch and she abruptly sat up confused. This wasn't her couch. Her couch at her apartment is a beige, not leather, comfortable couch. Rosa hated leather seating because during the hot summers when she wore shorts her skin would stick to it.

She heard a male yawn and shot her head to the left and saw Kai standing in a kitchen. "Good morning, shortcake." He let out a wink.

She looked around what she now realized must be Kai's apartment. It was a very simple place, nothing to fancy or over the top which she expected nothing less. Open floor plan like her own apartment, living room and kitchen attached where you can see everything in one glance. He only had his one leather black couch. A medium size television with a DVD player beside it on an oak wood TV stand. There were no photos of family or friends on the walls, no art displayed, any decorations or plants. Just plain white bare walls. It was almost as this place was temporary, she shuddered at the thought. She took one last glance towards the television and did notice the stack of Harry Potter movies and books. Rosa couldn't help grin widely.

Rosa was also trying to figure out how it came about with her crashing on Kai's couch instead of being at her place in her bed. She knows she drank way too much last night and some parts are still a blur. Rosa knew she'll have to ask Kai about the details in a bit.

She turned towards Kai. "Really? Shortcake, what every girl dreams to wake up hearing," she rolled her eyes. "Couldn't even call me sweetheart or something remotely cute."

He tried to stop a smirk from appearing and set his coffee mug down on his kitchen counter. "Okay, let me try that again." He clears his throat, "good morning." He paused briefly, "shortcake."

"You're so annoying," Rosa shook her head slightly smiling. She leaned back against the couch shutting her eyes briefly. Last night Rosa felt refreshed. Once she got a few drinks into Kai, he let loose and got along with Jacob and his fraternity brothers. She was surprised to see him so carefree. Rosa knew him being a sociopath, he's not use to having emotions or being able to express them so being able to be around him in that atmosphere was refreshing. It showed her there was hope.

Her thoughts were cut off by Kai's chuckle. "I know, now get your pretty ass over here for some coffee."

Rosa couldn't help but smile now. She removed the blanket that was covering her wondering if Kai was the one that put the blanket over her last night. It was then that Rosa discovered she wasn't in her own clothes. She was wearing an oversized black Guns and Roses shirt that came up to her mid-thigh. Rosa stood up walking over towards the kitchen counter as she pulled on the ends of the shirt as far she could to cover her bare legs realizing she didn't have anything underneath beside her underwear.
