Landry's P.O.V.

I was singing More Than Words when Ricky's phone rang. I immidately stopped and looked over at him.

"I think it's for you" He said and handed me the phone.

I took it and answered.

"Hi are you home?" I said.

"Yeah I am, why?" My neighbor Olivia said on the other side of the phone.

"I have lost all my stuff. My phone, my keys, everything" I said.

"That sucks, we'll I'm home so call me on the intercom & I'll let you inside the building and then knock on my door when you get upstairs and I'll give you your spare key" She said.

"Okay, bye" I said and hung up.

I gave Ricky his phone back and he took it.

"Was she home?" He asked.

I looked at him for a few seconds. Something inside of me did not wanted to leave. It liked being here with him.

"No, she was out clubbing with some friends so" I said.

Ricky grinned and looked at me.

"Then I guess you'll have to stay here" He said and smirked.

"Yeah, I'm actually really tired so if you don't mind I want to go to bed" I said.

"Of course, come on" He said.

I followed him into his bedroom where he had a big double bed. He took out another pillow and a blanket and then looked at me.

"If you want, I can sleep on the couch" He said.

"'No, it's okay. Just stay on your side of the bed" I said as I climbed into the bed.

"The bed is mine, so both of the sides are mine" He said and grinned as he unbuttoned his shirt and took it of which left him wearing a t-shirt.

"No, it doesn't work like that now. Maybe you do it in another way but when you have a bed you have it like that's your side and this is my side" I said and pointed.

"Let's build a little boundary like this" I continued and put some pillows in the middle of the bed. "So don't come and invade my personal space okay" I said before laying down.

He chuckled and took of his jeans. I leaned against the headboard and just watched him.

"Are you going to sleep with your clothes on?" He said.

"Yeah" I said.

"Okay" He said as he pulled of his t-shirt which left him standing in only his boxers.

He got into the other side of the bed and I turned around so that I didn't faced him.

"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" He suddenly asked.

"I'm not going to eat breakfast here" I said.

"Egg & Bacon? Good" He said.

"You're the biggest cliché that I've ever met" I said.

"Well it's because I never got confirmed as a child. Mom never came to my summer graduations and dad never gave me credit for my drawings" He said.

I grinned for myself. He remembered what I said to him when he told Chloe that she wasn't pretty enough.

"Okay" I said.

"But you like me anyways" He said.

"No" I said.

"Yes, you like me" He said.

In that moment his phone buzzed. I heard him grab it and turned around.

"What is it? Is it someone you have to beat up or?" I said and grinned before I turned around again.

"It's a message from Olivia. She says that she's to tired to sit up and wait for you. She's wondering when your coming home" He said.

I bit my lip. Shit, now he'll know I lied.

"I'm replying that Landry is so keen on me that she can't tear herself..." He started as he typed on his phone.

I quickly turned around and sat up.

"Hey! No! Don't write that!" I said.

I tried to grab his phone but he turned away and grabbed my arm with his other hand.

"Hey, now you're on my side!" He said.

"Give me it! Can I...?" I said as he fighted back.

"Please, get over on your side" He said. "This is your side of the bed and this is my side of the bed" He said and put the pillows that I had leaned over back up between us.

"It was not like that a minute ago. Then it was a abit more like this" I said as I grabbed a pillow and pushed it down on him while grabbing his phone.

"Now we'll leave the pillows and the phone alone!" He said as he held onto his phone tightly. "Let go! Let go!"

I let go of the phone and lied back down.

"Just write that I'll come home tomorrow" I said as I turned back around to not face him.

I heard him typing and then he put his phone on the bedside table.

"So you like me..." I heard him say.

"Good night, Ricardo" I said.

"Good night, Landry" He said.

I smiled for myself as he turned off the lights. I pulled the blanket over myself, closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
