No Romance (Brendan Gallagher)

Put Put Golfing

When I wake up the next morning it was 8:55. I sigh happily while sitting up in bed knowing that I have absolutely nothing to do today. I get up out of my bed and put on my slippers to walk down the hallway and into the kitchen. I head over to the sink and fill up a glass with water and then walk over to the couch in the living room to sit down. As I turn on the TV that's when I remember that I never saw Caden last night before I went to sleep.

"Caden??" I shout from my position on the couch. No response. I reluctantly get up and head over to his room to check for his presence. I slowly open his door, praying I wouldn't find two naked bodies in their. Still nothing. I retreat back to my couch and sit down, pulling out my phone to call Caden. On the third ring he picks up,

Hello?

Caden where are you??

Oh Quincy!! Sorry, I actually spent the night at Stephanie's house so I didn't come home.

Holy shit Caden! First night and already sleeping together??

It's not like that. We didn't do anything. I'll explain later, I should be back in about an hour.

Okay okay. See you soon,

I hang up with a laugh. I settle back into the couch and turn on White Collar on Netflix.

Just about an hour later the door to our apartment opens up and Caden walks in.

"Hey stranger!" I laugh.

"Hello Quincy," Caden replies as he rolls his eyes. He walks over and sits down next to me on the couch.

"So what happened last night?" I asked him.

"Well before we were going to leave the rink and head to meet you guys she said she actually felt a little nervous going out to meet the whole team. So I said we could just go out together and she said sure, so we headed to a random restaurant downtown. When we finished their we decided to head back to her house to watch a movie and we just fell asleep on the couch."

I sit there and look at Caden, a smile forming on my face. "Aweeee. Did you get her number?"

"Yup!"

"Good." I say as I turn back to the TV.

"So what are you doing today?" Caden asks.

"I don't think anything. The guys don't have practice today so maybe something with Brendan but I'm not sure. What about you?"

"I think I might just chill out and maybe run to the grocery store because we need food," he laughs.

"Okay Caden," I laugh back, "if Brendan and I don't do anything I'll come with."

"No problem."

We chill out and eat some breakfast for about an hour, until I get a call on my phone.

"Hey Quincy," Brendan's voice says.

"Hey Brendan," I smile, although he can't see it.

"So I've put a lot of thought into our date tonight."

"Did you really?" I ask, smirking.

"Yes I really did," Brendan laughs. "I'll come pick you up around 5. Dress casually, like jeans and stuff."

"Okay that sounds good, see you soon." I say as I end the call.

I turn to Caden on the couch, "So it looks like I'm going out with Brendan tonight. Do you want to run to the grocery store now?"

"Sure that sounds good. Leave in 20?"

"Yup!" I get up off the couch and head into my room to change and freshen up. I just throw on some lulu shorts, a sweatshirt, and some tennis shoes.
