I open my eyes to blinding sunlight that was seeping through the open curtains. I blink, adjusting to my surroundings.

"Fuck," I say rolling over to see the time. 

3:54 PM

Well, at least I didn't get water splashed on me this time. I lazily pick my body up heading towards Rocky's food and water bowls. Water empty, food full.

I pick it up and head towards the bathroom sink, filling it up three quarters of the way full, before taking it back. 

As soon as I set the bowl down onto the wooden floor the door flies open reveling Rocky and Antonio. 

"May we come in?" he asks.

"Well there is a no boys allowed policy, but I'll let it slide for y'all," I say grinning.

He walks in, "Y'all? I didn't know I was in the presence of a sweet southern belle," he comments putting on a fake southern accent.

"Why yes you are fine sir, so show some respect," I use fakest, heavy southern accent to respond.

He plops on the bed, letting go of the leash, allowing Rocky to run to me and then the bowls. Finally eating and drinking. The room feels heavy with silence

"Hey um, I'm sorry about yesterday," he says breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"What? Why" I retort.

"Well, I mean, you got yelled at, and your secret was spre--,".

"Antonio, look, we did nothing. Fuck them and their dirty minds. We. Did. Nothing. So shut up and lets have fun," In reassured him.

"Fine," he said, "What shall we do madam?"

"Let's play... 20 questions," I say.

"Ok, I'll ask first," he says waiting for a second, "How old are you?"

"21. How about you?"

"25. Childhood crush?" Dante asks.

"Getting juicy already okay, young Shah Rukh Khan or Flynn Ryder. You?"

"Don't laugh but mine is Mrs. Incredible,"

"THE MOM, you were like 5," I half yell half laugh.

"I know, I know, but did you see at her!".

"Okay so you go for the cougars," I snort.

"Can we PLEASE get back to the game, Naina?!".

"Fine, I think you go,".

"Biggest fear?" he asks.

"Being buried alive," I nod to him, signaling for him to go.

"Spiders,"he answers too fast.

 "I mean nothing, nothing at all," he says lowering his voice to a 'manlier' tone. 

"Okay," I say holding back the roar of laughter,"It's not funny,".
