Toxic Motivation

A Little Awkward

                            •RONNIES POV•

I shut the door behind me as I carry the heavy tool bag over to Cyrus who sat on the big bean bag "Here" I say dropping it on the floor a little hard "Heavy ain't it?" She says laughing as she picks it up with no hesitation and carry's it over to the fire place my mouth drops a little , I mean she was pretty strong.. I don't wanna say stronger then me but maybe up there with me I thought "So you want it above the fire place right?" She asks looking back at me and I nod "Yes please" I say and she laughs.

"What?" I say laughing with her "It was just funny how you said that" she says as she digs in her bag for the tools I go and get both the tv mount boxes for Cyrus who looked as if she truly knew what she was doing , she had her jacket off and was in a all white tank top , she had a tool belt around her waist with the few tools she needed attached to it . I grab her bottle and flop down on the bean bag as I watch her.

                                •CYRUS POV•

I start to measure the distance of where I'll be placing the nails "Pass me the mount" I say to Ronnie as I begin drawing a couple thick circles on the wall Ronnie slides the Tv mount over to my side
"Spark that blunt" she says and I chuckle putting the
Pencil down. I reach in my pocket filling around for the lighter as I put the blunt in my mouth and spark it . "I didn't know it was gonna snow today" Ronnie says looking out the window "Me neither" I say.

I inhale the blunt once more before passing it to Ronnie . "Yeah I gotta get some winter clothes.. wanna come with me tomorrow?" She says and I shrug my shoulders "I don't care" I say opening up the box and taking out the mount , I hold it up to wall sizing it up "Does that look straight to you?" I ask "Yeah it does" Ronnie says "Okay , come hold this so I can get the power drill" I say still holding it up I hear Ronnie moving around before she finally grabs it.

"Gotta get the screws" I say after grabbing my drill , I reach back into the box and grab the tiny bag with the screws and quickly open them as I get closer to Ronnie "Alright hold it straight up" I say after dumping the screws in my hand she nods and does what I said as she holds the blunt in the mouth with one eye open because of the smoke.

I quickly put the screw up to the wall and use the power drill on each one trying to be as fast a I could. After I finally get done screening the last nail in, I told Ronnie she could let it go and she slowly does. "So Bam texted me asking about you.." she says and I shake my head "I don't know why!" I say firmly as I walk over to the tv boxes. I slide one over across towards the fire place and open it using the box cutter attached to my belt.

"I think you need some space from her.. she needs to just give it a few days or something-here" Ronnie says and I grab the blunt and slowly begin to inhale it "Yeah maybe." I say truly not knowing how to feel about what went on last night. I watch as Ronnie opens the bottle and pours a huge shot in her mouth.
"Agh" she says setting the bottle down to wipe her mouth and I chuckle as I exhale some of the smoke.

"Help me take this Tv out the box" I say walking over to the counter and setting the blunt down gently. By the time I turned around Ronnie was already up and had one side lifted up already, I quickly walk over to her and grab the other side and together we lifted the Tv up and go it out the box. She takes all the foam pieces off and turns it around seeing it was ready to be hung , we both lift the tv up and attach it to the tv mount.

I plug it in next to the outlet that was the fire place and we watch as it cuts on "Damn that looks nice" Ronnie says and I nod in agreement. I walk over to the bottle grabbing it and take back two more shots , that would mean I'm 8 shots in since I had some in the car on my way here.. I swallow the last shot slowly as my head started to feel a little bit hot I began sweating.

I raise the blunt to my lips taking another pull before walking over to Ronnie who was too busy tryna set up the tv I hold the blunt out for her to grab it and she does. "Thank you for getting my tv up" she says finally looking at me , I could tell she was examining my face and I look away "You're welcome" I say and I feel her hand gently touch my neck and I pull away from her and look at her confused "Did I do that?" She said with a small smile on her face and I raise a eyebrow...

"What are you talking about !?" I say genuinely curious and confused "Your neck- the hickey" she says and I shake my head "No.. the hell zoey gave me that" I say lying and her face goes blank "You sure it wasn't from last night?" She says and my heart started to race and I felt my palms get sweaty "Stop" I say getting a little more nervous. I knew she would wanna talk about it .. but I'm not ready! Like she's making it awkward I thought to myself .

"I'm sorry." She says calmly as she smokes the blunt
"i don't know what got into me last night.." I mumbled not knowing if she even heard me and I was right "What you say?" She said and I shook my head "Ready to hang the other one in your room?" I say walking over to the other tv box that was near the front door "Yeah!" She says sounding a little happy and I chuckled to myself.

I heard her turn the hallway light on , and walked into the bedroom thank god I dodged that bullet for now I thought as I slide the tv down the hall , and then into her room which still had the empty bottle from last night laying on the floor near the blow up bed. "Okay I think I wanna hang that up right here" she says and I slide the tv across the carpet , where she stood we take the tv out and repeat the process.

After we finally get done everything I go over and sit down on her bed , I was hot and a little drunk to be honest. "You okay?" Ronnie asked me chuckling and I nod "So are we gonna talk about last night at all..?" She says walking over to me and I lay back so now I'm looking at the ceiling. I truly don't got time for this shit I thought to myself "What's to talk about?" I say slurring a little.

"I just figured you had something to say about it I guess" she says and I shake my head "I just don't want that happening anymore.. I don't roll like that Ron" I say , I feel her stare at me and I put my arm over my eyes so I couldn't see her. "I think that's dumb of you to say.. you act like we both ain't girls Cyrus." She simply said and I laugh a little.

"We are!" She said , "Nooo! Really? I have a PUSSY??!" I say being sarcastic as I sit up a little , I look over at her and she had her head turned the opposite way so I couldn't see her face expression ,
"Shut the fuck up!" She says and I start to chuckle , she quickly turns her head my way and had a look on her face "I think you like me more then you think" she says randomly and I stop laughing , Here we go I thought to myself...
