Late Night Burger Run

I rolled over and groaned at the throb that pulsed through my head. I raised my head looking at my alarm clock to see it was just a little after 4. I frowned in confusion, I never wake up this early especially after a party. Hell, I didn’t get home until around 2.

I heard a soft knock on my door, I looked at it realization hitting me. I flung my covers off me swinging my legs off my bed letting my feet touch the soft carpet. I pulled on a long t-shirt that fell to my knees and cracked the door peeking out.

Ryan stood there scratching the back of his neck. I opened my room wider and rubbed my eyes tiredly, “Hey do you need something?” I asked looking at his bare chest. He was wearing plaid pajama bottom and his bare torso made my mouth slightly water.

“Well,” he said his voice thick with sleep,” Cole kicked me out of my room, he brought back one of your friends.”

“One of my friends?” I asked wracking my brain trying to think of whom he was with. Harper had stayed with that Chad guy after the finished upstairs.

“The blond one.”

“Briley?” I asked already knowing the answer.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know she was short and blond.”

Yeah that sounded like Briley, I hope Brayden doesn’t find out he’s going to be pissed. I nodded me head, “So what do you need?”

“Can I crash here until she leaves?” He asked scratching his neck again.

“Yeah, but do you want to grab something to eat first?” I asked my stomach growling.

He laughed and nodded his head towards the stairs. We walked silently down the stairs and I lead the way towards the kitchen sitting on the counter.

I laid down letting the cool granite rest against my flushed face. I heard a chair being pulled out and saw Ryan sit in front of my face.

“Hung over?” He asked.

“Yes I’m already starting to forget stuff too,” I said frowning.

He laughed and put his hand on the back of my head rubbing my hair softly, “Do you remember dancing with me?”

“Of course,” I mumbled letting my eyes drop at the feel of his hands.

“What song did we dance to?” he asked not believing me.

“We danced to like four songs,” I said opening my eyes looking at his face.

He smiled and looked me in the eyes, “You have the prettiest eyes,” he mumbled under his breath.

I smiled, “Mr. Moore are you trying to seduce me?”

His eyes widened and he started laughing shaking his head at me, “I thought you were hungry.”

“I am,” I said pushing myself off the counter letting my feet touch the floor. I pulled the door to the fridge open and stared in it.

“Can find anything?” Ryan asked suddenly behind me.

“No, I want a big juicy burger!” I said turning around with wide eyes.

He laughed, “You don’t have pants on and I don’t have a shirt on we can’t go out.”

I looked down at my bare legs and frowned. “I’ll put on some shorts and then we can go,” I said running towards the stairs.

Ryan followed me up the stairs and I grabbed a pair of track shorts and slipped into my Bobs. I grabbed one of Tom’s shirts that were lying in my floor and threw it at him.
