Calling Dr.Smiles

Ⅲ.Ⅶ

→"Put a spider or a bee in a room with me and I'll coming crashing though the wall."

I woke up to an empty bed. And no I wasn't at Pacer's place. I was home, but Kurt had already left for school, which meant it was just me and Rosalie again to stay with our mom.

I pushed myself out the bed, and walk over to her room. Maybe we could do something together besides staying here-

And it's empty. 

So, it's just me to stay with mom. Tragic.

"Okay, I don't have to stay here, I can go out and do something. I don't have to stay he-" I silence my words when I hear noise coming from mom's room. I quickly run back into my room and silently close the door behind me.

I hear more creaking, and then some traveling down the steps. okay, I'm clear. I just have to take a shower and change and get out while I still can. This is like sneaking out of the house when you were younger.

Except, I'm nineteen and in college. And It's eleven in the morning.

I fish through my drawer, finding some blue jeans and a flannel. Okay, I don't even have to shower. Although I should. I haven't showered since yesterday. That's actually not the longest I've been without a shower. 

Oh! Brilliant Idea!

Go to Dippy's house and- no wait she said she had work at the doggie day care today. 

Who else's house could I go to?

Pacer's?

Okay I will, I'll take my clothes and my phone and walk to his house. His house is actually way too far to walk to, Ill take the car.  Okay, good plan.

I pick up the clothes, and my phone from my nightstand and ran out of my room and down the steps. I pulled my coat from the rack and looked around for the keys. Dish bowl! I stick my hand inside the bowl and grab the only keys left and exit the house.

Turning the car alarm off, and opening my door I start up the car. Once it starts up, I take a breath and back up and pull out the parking spot. Who parks their car headfirst? Probably Aidan. Parking my mom's car head first. That idiot.

I put the pedal to the medal and drive to his house. I remember the way, it was only one left turn near Oakland drive. I pass multiple look alike of his house before finding his. 

How did I know the difference?

I saw Pacer in the kitchen, shirtless. He was surely a womanizer, and had some sixth sense on my location. I parked in front of his car and ran up to his door. I rang the doorbell once, and waited with the clothes and my phone in my hand.

I probably looked like I had a one night stand. Let's not talk about that.

He answered in a few seconds, still shirtless.

Once he saw me, his eyes brightened a little. And he started smiling, like always.

"I need a shower, and if you could feed me too, that would be nice." I said to him, as he opened the door wider to let me in. 

I walked in and went up the steps to the top and headed straight into the shower. It was weird being naked, in his house. Didn't think I would end up here this way.

The shower, was good and long. Oh it was nice to shower with water that someone else hasn't been using because they were keeping secret from you. Ok that was a stretch, but you know what I had a point. I can't come here everyday to shower but damn it felt nice.

Once I stepped out and dried up and put some clothes on, I heard downstairs. Pacer was making some good food, I could smell it from inside the shower? It was that strong.

When I took a seat in front of the food, he had put a shirt on and was halfway done with his plate. 

"Jeez, couldn't wait for me?" I asked and he laughed. Like always.

"You were taking a nice long shower, I thought I'd have a nice good meal." He emphasized on the word nice. I didn't know nice showers would lead people to starting breakfast without you. What was Pacer doing here at home at eleven in the morning? Wasn't he like a intern or yada yada something?

"Don't you have to like work or something?" I asked him and he went silent. That wasn't a good sign. Every time I asked someone something they go silent. Were my questions just that deep?

"I quit. I stopped my courses in medical studies, and I'm just relaxing." He admitted to me and I felt a little ping in my chest. Did I do this to him? Make him quit? "And it wasn't you, I felt like quitting long before you came home."

"Well, you sure do know how to make it feel like it's my fault. But, any who, what are you doing today?" He went back to smiling, and eating his food. Not even answering my question. "Hello?"

"Don't know what we're doing today, maybe something fun." He said, and then it hit me. Since I came over, and used his shower and ate his food we were spending the day together. Wow, that tricky man!

I let out a laugh, "Okay, Dr.smiles I guess we'll think of something to do."

"How about a movie? Their playing 'Moana' in the town, let's go see it." He started pleading me to go see it, please please please. 

"Okay! We'll go, when is the next showing?" I asked and he pulled out his phone and showed me the times the movie was playing. Wa- was he planning on getting me to go to the movies with him? "Were you going to make me go with you today anyways. Even if I didn't end up here?"

He giggled this time. And when he giggles, it's like a cute one. Something you wouldn't expect from him if you first met him. I didn't expect to hear his laugh, or have him at my home, or thank him for taking care of me.

And, I didn't expect to actually consider staying in Seattle, for Pacer Rhodes.
