"Sleepover party!" Todd and Katie exclaimed. I reckoned they were both three.

Todd an Katie were choosing out the movie which was becoming difficult because me and Sam wanted horror while Katie wanted romance and Todd wanted anything funny. Brent had said that he really didn't mind but really I could tell somewhere in there he would have an opinion.

We had rounded up every blanket and pillow in the house hold and laid them all out on the lounge room floor. So really my whole lounge room looked like a big bed. Luckily mum wasn't coming home tonight, she had rung up saying she was really busy with work and wouldn't make it home tonight. Yeah, great mum. I'd found lately she'd been growing more distant. That or work was just really busy.

"So what movie?" I asked as I crawled across the ground over to Sam and Katie. They were now arguing between a drama and a horror, what was going on before my eyes was a horror. Or maybe a drama.

"I want to watch this," Katie said dramatically holding up a soppy love story, "while he wants to watch this!" She said holding up a much better movie that even scared me and not much scared me. I was preferably interested in the horror and action. The chick flicks weren't really my thing.

I grabbed two random movies out of the cupboard and walked over to Brent. We needed a decision and Katie, sam and Todd weren't helping. "Which one?" I asked him.

He smiled warmly. "So you trust my decision will be good." He said with a smirk, his eyes twinklimg.

Well I wanted to trust him but I didn't know what kind of movie he liked. "I just want a decision." I admitted.

He laughed and grabbed the movies of me and sat down on the couch. I sat beside him looking at my random choices, I had chose a action packed romance and a horror romance. Either one I'd be happy with. Well the romance wasn't exactly the best but it wasn't a movie based all around romance. I could feel all eyes were on Brent, the room was silent for once. I couldn't imagine any of us getting any sleep tonight. I felt bad for the guys on the ground it would be really uncomfortable. Me and Brent had first dibs on the couch. He would go up one end and I'd be up the other, I just hoped he didn't wriggle around to much. And if anyone snored I would punch them fair in that loud nose of theirs, I needed my sleep if you couldn't tell already.

Finally what seemed like forever Brent slowly stood up and placed a movie in the DVD player. Drum roll please, he chose the action packed romance. So he was a softie, cute. Eww I just called Brent cute! Katie squealed with delight, what she didn't know is that there was some snakes in this video and she hated snakes. So this would be funny. Katie being dramatic was always funny. Todd and Sam booed like the idiots they were.

Brent came down and sat beside me on the couch. "Did you like my decision?" He nudged me an amused smile on his lips.

"It's not to bad." I admitted nudging him back.

"Good, have to keep my lady pleased." He sang.

"Your lady?" I quizzed. I wasn't anybody's lady. I was a free woman!

"Yes." He smiled at me before lying back on the couch and pulling me with him. Really dude. He was such a touchy guy.

"I just hope my mum doesn't decide to come home." I grumbled and Brent laughed.

"Please don't kick us out." He pouted his lip looking like a three year old. Well he was a three year old so it wouldn't be hard for him I guess. I was about to say something back but Katie decided to interrupt.

"Quit talking or should I say flirting." She teased, she was looking quite comfy with Todd herself. I could actually imagine them as a couple. Yeah I'm sure that would happen soon.

Sam looked at us with a scowl before turning back to the movie. Well it was more directed too Brent who ignored it. What was that about? I was pondering in thought for a while not really paying much attention to the movie and then I felt my eye lids slowly shut.
