That one exception

Part 9

(Just a short update this time as life is being a P.I.M.A!)

I slowly woke, the sleep barely leaving my mind when I realise I was alone in bed, had I dreamt it? No it couldn't have been a dream I was buck naked in a bed I was sharing with another guy, well I would be if he was actually here.  I sat up and rubbed my eyes, there was no noise coming from the bathroom so I scanned the room for a note of some kind.  I wrestled myself out of bed, stumbling and bouncing off the nearest wall before I steadied myself. I grabbed my phone off the bedside table, no messages, where was he?  It was only when I went into the bathroom that I noticed a piece of paper taped to the wall above the toilet.  I laughed realising that Mini wasn't just a smart ass with what he said, he obviously thought that I was most likely to see and read the note when I went for a piss.

Tyler, couldn't sleep and didn't want to wake you so went to see Evan and Delirious, text me when you're awake.  Craig

I looked at my watch, 9:27am, thank god we don't have any meetings today. I grabbed my phone, sleep was still trying to pull me back into the very inviting looking bed so quickly I sent the message he told me to send him.

T- I'm awake

Dropping my phone back on the table I decide to go grab a shower and try and wake myself up a bit, I had literally just started putting shampoo in my hair when I heard the door being opened.

"You ok Min?"

"Yeah...I need to ask you something and I want you to take it serious"

"Uh...ok...what's up?" I admit that I was a little taken aback at how serious he was being.

"Are we ok?...I mean...Last night, now that you're sober..." I could hear the nervousness in his voice, I turned to look through the glass at him.

"Well let me put it this way, if you gave me half a chance I'd do it again in a heartbeat" I could see him turning red even through the steamed up glass. I turned back to face the shower rinsing the soap from my hair.  I hadn't noticed that Mini had moved until the shower door opened moments after I'd turned my back on it.  I turned to look at him as he stepped in beside me still fully clothed.  "Mini?" He looked up at me, all the confidence seemed to just drain from him.  The shower making his clothes cling to him and plastering his hair to his head added to the lost look in his eye making him look like a puppy caught in a rain storm. I reach up and push his hair out of his eyes "talk to me Min"

He swallowed hard and closed his eyes  "I don't know...one minute I'm happy and content then next I feel like I'm panicking because I think I've screwed up"  he opened his eyes and looked up at me with that same on the verge of crying because I'm lost look "that's what I do...I screw everything up"

 "Come here" I wrap my arms around his shoulders pulling him gently against me. I felt his hands on my waist as he lent against me his forehead resting on my shoulder.  "The only thing you've screwed up is those clothes...why didn't you take them off dumb ass" I half chuckled hugging him tighter.
