"Mockingjay part two?" I suggest.

"Yeah." Riley and Caroline agree.

I put the movie in the television, and get a humongous bowel of popcorn from the microwave. I sit down as the movie begins.  

"I have to pee." Riley announces, and I pause the movie.

"Don't watch ahead!" she smiles.

The toilet flushes, and Riley emerges in her underwear and large tee shirt that I assume is Jace's.

"Comfy?" I laugh.

"Indeed." she laughs. I un pause the movie.

As the movie drew slowly to a end I start to wonder what Ty is getting Danny into. My phone buzzes to life on the kitchen counter. I practically run over to it. It's Danny!

(D=Danny P=Payton)

D: I'll be home around one.

P: Okay...

D: Do you want me home earlier?

P: No. No, stay with your friends.

D: I'll be home around midnight. I love you.

P: Okay. Love you.

I check the time before I click the off button on my phone, it's eleven fifteen. I look over toward Caroline and Riley half asleep.

"Bed?" I ask.

"I call guest room!" Caroline shouts.

Riley sighs, "I guess I'll take the couch."

I laugh as Caroline scurries off to the guest room, and Riley hunkers down  on the couch.

"I'm going to wait on them to get back," I say referring to Danny.

"Okay," Riley closes her eyes.

I run upstairs and put on a pair of dark blue pajama pants, and a light blue t-shirt (that used to belong to Danny).

Danny walks through the door at twelve twenty-nine.

"Your late." I smile.

"I couldn't let a wasted Ty drive himself home." Danny rubs the back of his neck.

"So where there strippers?" I joke.

"Well, not for me." Danny laughs.

"Good." I put my hand on my hip.

"So what did you guys do?" Danny asks.

"Oh you know. Just watched Magic Mike XXL," I tease.

Danny looks sad.

"No I'm kidding, we watched Mockingjay part 2." I lightly punch his shoulder.

"Okay good." Danny smiles, and wraps his hand around my waist.
