19 - Mr. Basic

Alexa's eyes opened slowly and her brain tried to catch up quickly to figure out where she was. The room was dark and the Netflix screensaver displaying upcoming movies and big hits was moving lazily across the screen, occasionally brightening the room.

She looked up from her spot to see that her head was still rested on Chris' lap. She noticed as she looked up further that Chris was fast asleep. He was leaned back against the couch cushions, but resting his cheek on his palm. His other hand was resting lightly on Alexa's shoulder.

Alexa looked at the small clock below the tv and saw that it was 11:43 pm. God. It's getting late.

She sat up and stretched her arms above her head, relieved to hear a few cracks from her back. When she moved, Chris shuffled slightly, in his sleep, sliding further down the couch to get comfortable.

Alexa leaned over and rubbed his arm gently, "Hey you."

"Hmm?" Chris replied back, obviously still pretty much asleep.

"Do you have to be anywhere tomorrow?" Alexa asked quietly as she moved off the couch, but stayed kneeling down near Chris' head.

Chris shook his head lightly as he readjusted himself again, now laying out across the couch fully, pulling one of Alexa'a decorative throw pillows into his arms.

"Okay...If you need anything I'll be down the hall, okay?" Alexa stated.

"M'kay." Chris mumbled into the pillow he had against his chest.

Alexa patted his arm one more time for good measure before she stood up from her crouched position and grabbed the blanket that was draped decoratively on the back of the couch. She laid it across him delicately, effectively covering him up and then made her way down the hall where she stopped at the bathroom before heading to her bedroom.

As she sat down on the bed, she texted Rylee.

Siri 💞
Hey, idk if he'll know, and I know it's getting late, but can you ask Sebastian if Chris has work tomorrow?

Alexa waited for a response but her message still just said delivered. Well, it was worth a shot. She plugged her phone into the charger and set it down on the bedside table. Just as she did, it chimed with a notification.

Ryles 🌻
Seb said yeah, but not until the evening. They're both shooting together.

Siri 💞
Okay thanks 😊

Ryles 🌻
Why what're you two up to 👀

Siri 💞
Nothing. He picked me up from the airport, we watched a movie and fell asleep. I didn't want to wake him up if I didn't have to.

Ryles 🌻

Siri 💞

Ryles 🌻
Sameeee 😭❤️

Alexa set her phone down letting out a sigh of relief. She was glad Chris didn't have to work tomorrow. She didn't know if he had anything else going on that didn't entail work, but she hoped he would forgive her if he missed something.
