Faking It

Chapter Six

Loren's POV (two months later)

"Joey! Stop it!" I tried not to laugh at him while he tried doing his makeup, failing miserably. "Oh, come on babe. I look hot." He looked at his reflection in my mirror. "Just shut up and come here after you wash all of it off." I sat up in my bed and turned on the tv, going to Netflix. I haven't watched the new season of 'Orange Is The New Black' yet, I shrug and turn it on. "Loren, no. Not this again. I'm not going through a day of hell today." I smile and listen to him rant. He hates this show because I binge watch it when a new season comes on, then complain when I have nothing new to watch. "Shut up, you know you love Lola." He thinks she's hilarious, and she reminds him of Ellen. "And you don't? She's a badass!" He plopped down beside me and finally shut up. An hour later, I had a sleeping Joey laying beside me and a finished season of Orange Is The New Black. I slipped out of Joey's grasp and walked into the kitchen to see my cat on the fridge and my mom attempting to get him down. I reach up and pick him up in my arms. "Do you need Steve for some reason?" I gesture to the sleeping cat in my arms. "I need to take him to get his checkup, so yes." I gave my mom the cat and went back up to my room. "Joey, wake up." He groans and rolls back over on his side. "Joey, please?" I shake him lightly and he opens his eyes. "Yes? I was asleep." I shrug and look at him. "I want attention." He engulfs me in a hug. After a few hours, i glanced at the clock. Midnight. I shrug and look at Joey asleep, again. I lay down and cuddle into him before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
