Finally Free [Gavin Free][Undergoing Editing]

First Let's Play and Alliances

I decided on making Burnie's morning a little more exciting on this beautiful Friday. I snuck out of the house wearing my Doctor Who tshirt and white-washed shorts, with my Metallica wallet in my pocket. I also grabbed Burnie's key off the hook near his door, hoping he wouldn't mind me taking his car. Before leaving the driveway, I pulled out my iPhone and searched for a donut shop since I didn't know my surroundings. There was one only five minutes away.

I pulled away from the house, cautiously, and drove off to the shop. I didn't have an American driver's liscense, but I'm sure there were no cops patroling around this neighbourhood.

I pulled into the parking lot where the donut shop was located and parked. I jumped out of the vehicle. Inside the smell of freshly brewed coffee and delicious donuts filled my nose. My empty stomach growled quietly, making me walk quickly to the front. I ordered a box filled with glazed donuts, ones with sprinkles and cinnamon(not for me though, I'm allergic to cinnamon), and two to go coffees. I didn't know how Burnie liked his, but I'm sure he would change it with the coffee ingredients at home.

I paid with the money my dad sent me and carried the food to the car. The drive back involved me singing Aerosmith songs and tapping my fingers against the steering wheel. After I pulled into the driveway, I snatched the warm bags from the passenger seat, grabbed the coffee cups, and headed inside. Burnie still wasn't up, but I'm sure the wonderful smells would arouse him to awaken to the morning.

Soon enough, Burnie appeared in the kitchen archway, hair ruffled and glasses in hand. He put them on and looked at the donut bags, dark eyes looking hungrily at the food.

"Donuts, huh?" he asked, walking towards the counter.

"Yeah, I just wanted to do something nice. You are letting me stay here." I chuckled.

"Well, your father is like a brother to me, so of course I would take you in," he glanced inside the box and pulled out a glazed donut. "Glazed donuts are my favourite." He said and took a large bite.

"I also got you coffee. I didn't know what you wanted, so I just got it black so you could do whatever you wanted to it." He smiled and added sugar in it. We ate our donuts happily, talking to each other about video games and upcoming movies.

We then decided to leave for the office once our bellies were full with pastries and warm brews. Burnie went to go change and shave some of his face. I saw a cat laying on the top of the couch and went over to him. His fur was soft and a tabby orange, soft under my fingers. My hand gently stroked his stomach, making him pur with satisfaction. I checked his collar for a name and saw Joe inscripted on the metal slab.

"You're such a cutie." I smiled as his little head rubbed against my palm, urging me to continue with the attention I gave him.

Burnie came out of his room and we both left to the office in his car, making his cat look at my longingly as I left out the door. The drive was silent, the radio turned off to let the hum of the engine travel into our ears. We arrived, parking in his reserved spot. The time was 8:23 in the morning and there were more people inside than I thought there would be. Kara smiled warmly as she saw us enter, standing up to welcome us.

"Hey guys." she said. Her short, blonde hair was in a ponytail, revealing her many earings in both ears.

"Hey Kara." said Burnie, smiling. He said bye to the both of us and went up to his office, letting us know he had much business to attend to.

"Hi, Kara. How's your morning so far?" I asked. I went to her desk and laid my arms upon the counter of it.

"I'm super tired. I didn't fall asleep last night because I was watching Breaking Bad." She rolled her eyes playfully. I laughed and we talked for a good ten minutes before I said goodbye and headed towards the kitchen. Before I could enter, voices stopped me. The voices belonged to Geoff and Gavin.
