Warzone

Chapter 18

I whine as I hear banging on my door. I look at my phone. 

"Do you realise what time it is?!" I whisper at him angrily, pushing him away.

"I just, I wanted to see you," he sways on the spot.

I'm going to murder whoever got him in this state.

"I remember now perfectly," he stares at my lips while licking his. "I thought I dreamt it up or imagined it but I knew....." 

"I'm trying to forget," I tell him, "go home to bed." 

"I'll get you a blanket." I mumble before walking off. I feel him tug at my hand to get my attention. I turn to face him.

"I love you, you know. More than-" 

"Sleep next to me," he whines.

"No! You woke me up and you'll hog my bed and I need to be up early for a meeting." I tell him.

"I won't I'll be good I promise, you're so cosy to sleep next to." This time he's successful in pulling me down on the couch. 

"So who got you in this state?" I ask, "Who do I have to kill?"

"Paul and Tom." He smiles.

"Did they not come back with you?"

"They eh, met some people so they went back to theirs. I had to come see you." 

"I'm going back to bed. I'll see you in the morning," I ruffle his curls. He takes my hand and kisses my knuckles.

"Fine let's go to bed." He tells me trying to get up.

"No you're sleeping here. I don't want to wake you from your hangover in the morning and have you bitch at me all day." I tell him. 

"I won't I promise," he shows me a sad face, "I don't want to sleep on your couch."

"Kee who's here?" I hear Nathan's bare feet slap against the wooden floors. There he is standing in front of us in his t-shirt and a pair of boxers. 

"Bird, what are you doing here? Its quarter to five in the morning!" he whines.

"I don't have to ask you permission to see my friend," he snaps back. 

"I think you should leave so me and Kee can go back to sleep and you won't say something you regret," he spits back. 

"Yeah I'll leave you two alone to sleep, or whatever else you were doing," he mumbles, glaring at the two of us in the process. He slams the door as he was leaving and I let out a sigh.

"I am so sorry Nath, he wouldn't leave I tried to make him but he just collapsed on my couch." I let out a huff and I finally make eye contact with him.

"It's alright, it's not like you made him come at this time. He getting payback tomorrow though" He smiles and holds out his hand. 

I storm into the apartment. I was not letting him get away with it. That and I had the worst morning and it all boils down to him. First, I woke up late, did not help that Nathan hid my phone and I missed most of my morning meeting completely, which then made me late for viewings. I hear Max and Siva greeting me and I just dismiss them with my hand.

I had to let my anger out on him first. 

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" he yells.

"For waking me up," I keep my cool, "I had the shittest day in work ever because of you banging down my door at the crack of dawn."

"What?"

"You were at mine last night at ridiculous o' clock banging down my door. Couldn't go back to sleep and when I did I slept out my alarm. Dickhead"

He obviously had no clue because he just sat there in thought while I stewed away, waiting for an apology of some sort. 

"I'm sorry," he finally squeaked out, giving me a bear hug. 

"You better apologise to Nathan too," I tell him, "you woke him up too." 

"Nathan stayed at yours last night?" His grip on my arm tightens.

"Yeah we crashed out after we watched a film. You we're too busy ignoring me to do anything." I reply.

"Are you serious?!" He seethes, "The reason I was pissed off is because you casually forget to mention that I kissed you when everyone else knew!"

"What do you want me to say to you? Sorry?"

"Yeah I think I deserve it," he folds his arms over his chest.

"Sorry you cheated on your girlfriend even though you where the one who started it."

He looks perplexed.

This time we both knew he started it off. He crashed me into his chest as he moved his hand to my jaw and pressed his lips to mine. 

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I can't" he whispers before climbing off the bed and out of the room, leaving me there more frustrated and confused than ever.
