INSIDE THEIR MINDS

Need

Kate

I slowly blinked my eyes open and realized that I was laying under my covers. I look to the alarm and see it is almost 11pm and realize I should probably just try to get some more sleep.

Then I heard a noise. A crashing metal sound came from the kitchen. Then I heard a quiet "Dammit".

Who was in my house? How did I even get home?

I look frantically around my room for any sort of weapon. I spot a metal back scratcher on the bedside table and snatch it up. I slowly head down the small hallway and into the kitchen. All of the lights were on, hopefully that will make it easier, but easier for who?

I weilded the scratcher like a baseball bat ready to strike.

Then as I round the corner I see a man in a hooded black sweater fuckin flippin pancakes on my griddle.

Just as I was about to hit them they turn around.

"What you gonna scratch me to death?" Phil says sarcasticlly, batter splotched on this face.

"Phil... What the fuck? Why are you in my house, making me what? Pancakes?"

"If I didn't rescue you, you would probably be passed out on a bench right now." He said turning back to the pancakes, expertly flipping them over revealing the perfect golden brown edges.

"What?" I ask now feeling dizzy and placing the "weapon" on the counter.

"You were hammered, you could barely walk I had to practically carry you to the car."

"You... carried me?" I ask raising an eyebrow then eyeing him up and down.

"You look surprised, what I lack in.. well other departments.. I make up for in strength. Now sit, breakfast will be ready in a minute."

I silently follow his instructions and take a seat at the small dining table and take a peak out of the window looking out onto the street.

I notice my car wasn't in my driveway but instead a black luxurious car rested in its place.

"Where's my car?"
"At work, where you left it."
"Oh."
"You weren't exactly in the condition to drive."

I could feel my cheeks reddening. Was I really that drunk?

"I'm sorry, I.... just..."
"You were stressed out I understand, this whole situation is less than desirable but I still need you Kate."

"Phil... I..."
"Here eat some pancakes, we can talk after."
