A Light In A Dark World [ON HOLD]

Chapter 9

   I wake up in my society bed with aching muscles and the biggest migraine in the world. Am I drunk?? I slowly get up to see Drew passed out in an arm chair in front of my bed. What is he doing here? As I get up I hear Drew mumble my name as he slowly opens his eyes. I abruptly stop in my trace and just stand there. He sees I'm awake and his eyes widen in surprise.

"Tamzi, are you okay?" he asks worriedly

"I'm okay," I answer as I walk to the door.

"Wait! Tamzi, I'm so sorry."

"I know. "

"Well then why do you avoid me?"

It takes me a second to reply," I need time to think if I want to forgive you."

He looks at me sadly," Oh, well, what have you decided?"

"I'm still thinking," I answer while walking out of the room to the kitchen. As I walk into the kitchen I smell and hear sizzling bacon. I look at the living room and see Chelea sleeping on the couch. When Keath sees me, the same look of worry grows on his face that Drew had. Before he can ask if I'm okay, I answer.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Oh, good," he smiles," Want some bacon?"

"Oh my gosh, yes!" I can only imagine the huge smile on my face as I answer.

Keath laughs and places a plate of bacon on the table. I quickly sit down and stuff a peice of bacon into my mouth. The taste is so great I close my eyes for a second. Once I open my eyes Keath is staring at me in awe.

"What, never seen a person eat before?"

"I have," he says while laughing.

"It's rude to stare."

"Oh, is my staring bothering you?" he opens his bright green eyes even wider to a point where I see little specks of blue in his eyes. I shut my eyes as tight as I can. We both laugh at the same time. As I open my eyes I hear a door open behind me. I wonder who that could be? I stop laughing and turn around to see teal eyes staring at me. Great! He just had to walk in and make things awkward. I turn back around and stuff more bacon into my drooling mouth.

"Want some bacon?" Keath asks Drew rather too friendly if I might add.

"Sure," he replies while offering a small smile to him.

Keath hands him yet another plate of bacon. Drew also stuffs his face.

As we are sitting there awkwardly Chelea walks in with her dark red hair is everywhere, as she walks in she wipes drool away from her mouth, but as she sees us sitting in silence and smirks.

"Glad to see that there's no tension between you guys," she states sarcastically with a smirk on her face.

She walks over, sits down, grabs a piece of bacon from my plate, and takes a bite out of it.

"Hey, I was eating that!" I grab her arm before she can take another bite.

Chelea tries to yank the bacon back, but gosh dang it! That is my bacon! She will never get it back, then she yanks me onto the floor, and a few seconds later we are on the floor wrestling for a freakin piece of bacon.

"Ladies, ladies, I know my bacon is sexy, but it does not mean that you need to fight over it." Keath says.

We both stop our struggle at once say in unison," IT"S MINE."

To that Keath smiles and so does Drew.

"The bacon seems to be getting more ladies than you Keath, you better step up your game man." Drew says while standing up and patting Keath on the back.
