Chapter 7 - Thou Shall Not Spill Secrets

I woke up around 3am to the tv playing some random news channel. I sit up and notice that Pezzy fell asleep beside me. I get up, clearing off the head of the bed. I gently shake Pezzy, cause there's no way sleeping on top of the blankets and without a pillow is comfy. "Hey, Pezzy. Wake up. We fell asleep, come on get comfy under the covers" I whisper. "I need to use the bathroom." He says while getting up, I climb into bed waiting for him to come back. I notice he changed from his skinny jeans into the sweatpants he let me wear the night before. "Maybe those look better on me" I smirk. "Maybe you can keep them. But I'm not taking them off for you just yet." He says half asleep. If he was wide awake and could see how wide my eyes are he'd be concerned. He crawled into the bed, turning away from me and falling asleep.

I woke up around 11, feeling an arm wrapped around me. I look behind me and see Pezzy snuggled right up behind me. Maybe I'm still dreaming. This isn't happening. I pinch my arm, and look behind me again. Yep. Definitely not dreaming. I turn around and put my head back down, deciding how to go about this. I feel him stir, quickly closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep. Pezzy pulls me closer, sighing to himself. I wait a couple minutes and pretend to wake up. "Good morning, sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep here." "Oh you're fine. It's nice to not be alone. As much as I liked vacationing by myself; sleeping alone in a hotel room is creepy" I say stretching, realizing he's still wrapped around me. "Oh I'm so sorry" as he removes his arm. "Oh. I kinda liked it." I say blushing and laughing awkwardly. I get out of bed and move to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Once I'm ready, I come out of the bathroom to see him still in bed, scrolling in his phone. "So I still want to know who's immature and what's not happening." God there's no way I'm telling him what his friends said. "Oh uh ElasticDroid said something immature. Uh I forget the other part" I laugh it off, hoping he doesn't pry. "We're your friends now Annalise, you can call them Droid and Puffer. You don't have to use the full name." He says laughing while walking to the bathroom. "Yeah yeah, I'll get used to it." I pull out my phone and scroll social media, nothing being too interesting. I opened discord to see a DM from Puffer. "Pezzy didn't respond to anyone last night, did you guys stay together? (;" oh my god. "He accidentally fell asleep watching tv with me. Nothing is going on." I respond back looking at The Guys group chat, seeing that they're talking about going to the history museum. The last message being from Pezzy tagging me '@Annalise_B You wanna join us for this ?' He comes out of the bathroom. "Did you check discord?" He says "Yeah I just did. Uh I don't want to fully crash the vacation for you guys. Maybe I'll sit this one out." I say mindlessly scrolling. "You're not crashing. We wouldn't be talking about it in the group chat if we didn't want you there. Wanna go get McDonald's?" "Again, I'm not crashing. You go enjoy the museum, I'll just hangout in bed" I reassured him. We head to McDonald's, I pulled out my phone, opening a direct message to Grizzy.

Annalise: Grizzy help me

Grizzy: Word. What is it?

Annalise: Pezzy keeps inviting me to hangout with you guys. I don't wanna crash the plans

Grizzy: Oh no...is he bothering you..?

Annalise: No! No god no. I enjoy spending this time with him, and you guys. But I don't know what his intentions are. I don't want to assume one thing and it be wrong. You know?

Grizzy: Listen, if I'm thinking what you're thinking. You're 100% right, in our private chats he's talked about you. The day he met you, he kept talking about you. Like Droid has said. Mans is whipped

Annalise: Copy that

I didn't even realize we arrived at the McDonald's. "Who are you messaging so intently?" He says while opening the door for me. "Oh uh. A friend. It's cool" I say while walking in. After ordering and sitting down, Pezzy seemed off. Like something had bothered him. "Is everything okay? Are your fries too salty?" Laughing at him staring out the window. "What? No they're fine. I'm fine." He didn't sound too confident. "You don't seem it. Do you wanna talk about it?" Hoping I'm not prying too much. "Do you have a boyfriend? Or a girlfriend? You were so focused on your phone, you ignored me the whole walk here. You don't want to go to the museum. Am I being too much? Should I just go home now?" He says faster than I can understand. "Woah. Hold on. I was messaging Grizzy. And no, I don't have a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. I like one person, but that's confidential. You're not being too much, I don't want you to go home, but if you feel like you need to or want to I would understand. I just don't want to crash on your guys day. I feel like we've been together a lot, and think you should enjoy some time with the guys." I say laughing at him "I'm with the guys every week. You only have what? A couple days left? What does it matter if you come to the museum with us or not? Also. If you like someone, then I should go. I don't want to be in the middle or someplace where I shouldn't be." He says putting his food on the tray about to stand up. "Pezzy. I'll make you a deal. I'll come to the museum. In return for one thing." "What is it?" "You take me on a date. Tonight. Or tomorrow. I only have two days left after today. And honestly, I don't know how I'd feel not spending them with you. Oh and the guys, I guess." I say blushing. "You wanna go on a date?" He sounded so surprised. "I mean. If you want to." "Hell yeah I want to. I just didn't have the balls to ask. Wait. Is that why you were messaging Grizzy?" "Thou shall not spill secrets" I say standing up and tossing away the garbage.

We get and Uber to his house, so he can get ready for the museum. As I wait, I grab treats from the cabinet and try to make friends with Sly. She isn't fond of me, but tolerates that I'm in her space. Pezzy comes down, and we take an Uber to the museum, meeting everyone there. We were the last to arrive, the four guys standing at the entrance waiting. "Wooooow look who's late. Give us a reason" Puffer says while winking at Pezzy. "Oh my god. Fine. Have you guys had McDonald's breakfast? That shit was amazing!" I say acting as if it was a five star meal. "Can we go in now?" Rectrixx says while hurrying us towards the door. We get through the museum, Pezzy and I falling behind the group, talking about every display. "So can I finally tell you who's immature and 'what's not happening'" I say while our arms are linked looking at a statue of some random guy. "Oh I get to know the secrets now?" He says smiling. "So the other night, when you were getting my purse for me. One very immature man by the name of Droid made a whipping motion and sound after you left the room. I told him that's not what was happening. But maybe I was wrong." He stopped and turned to me. "Annalise, would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" "I thought you'd never ask." We finally catch up with the guys, and finish the museum.
