"Sooner or later
it all comes around"

Weeks later...

"Nate, how do I work this?" I glance at the three different remotes. Three! This is just too much to turn on the tv. Cable added on top of that complicates things further.

"It's the black one." He shouts from the kitchen where he's getting us some snacks.

I look down and see that they are all the same exact freaking color. "Really Nate? They all look the same." I yell back frusturated.

He enters the living room, picks one, and turns the 50 inch flat screen on.

"Simple." He smirks.

"No, simple means having just one remote." I counter.

I have been living with Nate for awhile and still can't figure out his fancy stuff. For example the refrigerator, it has too many buttons and even a touch screen that I can't seem to work. I also always end up dropping ice on the floor because when I move my cup just an inch, it either stops or decides to drop twenty ice cubes at a time. I do love the rest of the house though. I especially like the giant walk in closet in our room. I don't have a bunch of clothes but I like walking in there and pretending that I'm shopping. Is that weird? It's like shopping among your own clothes.

"What are we watching?" Nate asks as we both sit on the leather sofa.

"How about Mean girls? I haven't seen that movie in forever." I try to figure out the remote and somehow manage to pick the netflix app.

"I don't feel like watching a chick flick." He whines.

"Today is my day to pick so suck it up. Now pay attention because I will give you a quiz afterword."

His response is to throw a popcorn at me.

"Very mature." I then proceed to stick my tongue out at him.

Throughout the movie I end up reciting the most popular quotes much to Nate's dismay.

When the movie is over he sighs "Finally."

"Today is tuesday by the way..." I start.

"So...."

"Tomorrow you have to wear pink!"

"Oh my god. You are crazy." He laughs and starts to tickle me.

"Stop! Listen, because you were good and watched the movie with me, you can pick which one to watch next. Even though you said I could pick today. Cause I'm awesome like that."

"Yes!" He stops tickling me to steal the remote from my side of the sofa.

"Just no scary movies!"
..................................................

"How is it already midnight?" I look at my phone surprised at how fast the day went by. We ended up watching an action movie marathon.

"Crap, I gotta wake up early tomorrow for a meeting." Nate adds. Now that Kingston Inc. owns Kemah boardwalk, he is now the manager over everything. Kay loves this because she gets free stuff and unlimited rides. Nate really spoils her. Whenever I take care of Kay now, I bring her here and she enjoys being able to use the wifi since at home we never had internet other then on my mom and I's cell phones.
