I sit there for a while, my head in my hands, when I hear a familiar BEEP!  It's the sound of our intercom.  I stumble out of bed and press a button.  I clear my throat and whimper,

"Who is it?"

The sound is crackly, "It's Keira..."

Oh, geez!  "Uh, I'll be down in a minute!"  

I race over to my dresser, yank the drawers open, and grab my clothes.  After changing out of my pajamas, I race to the sink in the bathroom and brush my teeth like never before.  I grab my comb, run it through my hair, check the mirror... and done!  A new record!  I practically fall down the stairs and heave the door open.  Keira is still standing there.  Thank God.

"Hey Hudson!  I just came over because you never answered my message."

"Oh yeah," I say, leaning on the door frame.  "My computer crashed."

"Huh.  Well, wanna walk with me?" She asks.

"Oh yes definitely." I walk out the door without saying goodbye.  I was finally going to spend alone time with my girl!
