It's only us. (ON HOLD)

i walked into work as i waved at jamie, before he handed me a stack of papers.

"oh shit." i said," what is this."

"drawings." he chuckled," from charlotte."

i smiled as i nodded," i see.." i grabbed the papers and chuckled," thank you jamie."

he smiled back at me, nodding his head before i walked to my locker to store them away. i remembered that i threw the hoodie in my washing machine, and told bryn to transfer it to the dryer.

he's probably gonna forget.

i didn't care, i just decided to do my own thing.

i checked my watch to see i was twenty minutes early for my shift, so i decided to see if anyone was in the break room.

i walked into the room slowly.

to my surprise there wasn't anyone there, quite interesting if you ask me.

i took this opportunity to sit on the coach and start reading a book i picked up the other day the beach read.

"enemies to lovers is the best trope for no reason." i said to myself.

after reassign for a few minutes i remembered that i didn't have a celsius this morning. setting the book down, face down, i waltzed over to the fridge and swung the door open.

"no. no. not a celsius.. not a celsius.. where the fuck are the-"

"looking for this?" diego asked, as the door closed behind him.

i rolled my eyes as i turned around and looked at him," thank you." i said softly.

"don't thank me." he said," did you get home easily ?"

"yea, i did. how about you?"

"good enough." he said, it was a pain driving, but it was all good."

i smiled faintly as he handed me the celsius, "you're a lifesaver."

"i figured that you wouldn't have one today, so i took it into my hands to bring you one to make sure." he said.

"thank you so much, i really needed this."

"yea always.."

i opened it up slowly and sipped it, before i asked," how's xiomara." i asked.

"ah she's great. sleepy but great."

"that's good." i said," that's really good!."

"yea, im letting her paint the walls in her room, im not gonna force her to go to school just yet, maybe in a few days."

"you're a great brother you know that?" i asked.

"i try my best.. i never wanna fail her."

"you're doing great." i said, patting his shoulder," you're doing super well."

"thank you niara."
