I wake to a breathy 'what the fuck'.
Slowly cracking my eyes open, so I could sneakily dart off and retrieve a rounders bat if need be, I sat up, suddenly aware of a weight around my waist, the sneak left my body and I screamed, bolting up right and falling off a sofa?
Suddenly the events of the previous night came back as I locked eyes with an angry looking Atlas, but his gaze seemed to be focused behind me, so I spun around with my arms out like a helicopter, ready to attack, only to see Rhiannon's brother?
'What the fuck? Arlo asked, grinning from ear to ear, 'what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck!' He reiterated.
I let out a gasp, 'are you guys friends?'
'Unfortunately,' mumbled Atlas.
'No, I just have the keys to a strangers house.' Arlo said at the same time with a deadpan expression.
'Ohmgee! Why didn't Rhi tell anyt-' I let out a squeak, suddenly hyper aware of my surroundings.
My morning hair and face, me in Atlas' t-shirt and Samuel in a bad on the coffee table. I felt myself go pink, from my neck to the tips of my ears.
'Uuuhm, nice seeing you Arlo, I'm gonna head out now.. thanks for letting me stay!' I directed the last part to Atlas.
I grabbed Sam and pretty much legged it to the door, nearly booting a black cat on the way- wait? I could've been cuddling a cat all night?
I scurried out the door and barged through my own after about 5 attempts. Then, I changed out of Atlas' shirt.. yum.. and put on some leggings and a pink quarter zip, then rushed back out to the aquarium to get Sam a new tank to set up before heading to work.
'What the fuck yourself, Arlo! Why did you just break into my house? Fucking stalker,' I scoffed once poor Olive had run off.'Uuuh no, don't try change the subject mister. You were cuddling someone I was u aware we fancied? That's Rhi's best friend, you know?'
