Amanda Smith (The Avengers ff) #English

30.

May says goodbye to Peter and heads home.
This time, he can't keep anything from me. We enter the apartment and sit on the couch.
"You can watch a movie, but then off to bed", Grandma says and goes to her room.
I turn on the TV, insert a DVD and then I sit down.
The Empire Strikes Back, one of Peter's favorite films. The special edition, which lasts three minutes longer. I was overjoyed when I got it.

"So start now", I say after turning the TV up louder.
"Well, I used to fight a criminal called Vulture back then, and on the day of the Homecoming Ball, it turned out that Liz' Dad was Vulture and wanted to rob Tony's plane, which contained the Stark Tower items", he explains, whereupon I look at him in disbelief.
"He didn't want them to be here during the trial, so they moved away", he says.
"And do you miss her?", I look at him questioningly.
"Well, a little bit, but she wasn't the right one", he says.
What does he mean with that?
"Maybe it's Michelle", I say, smiling.
He just shrugs.

"Okay, let's just keep watching the movie", he says, and I get popcorn.
"You've just eaten", Peter says with laugh.
"Don't judge me", I say, sitting down again.

Especially in half of the movie, I get tired. So I go to my room to put on a blue sweater and get the stuff Peter gave me a while ago.
He's just about to sleep when I throw his things to him.
As if he had seen it coming, he catches it and looks at me questioningly.
"If you're tired already, you can go to sleep", I say, laughing.
"Me and tired?
No way", he says, but I can that see he's pretty tired.

"Oh Peter, just admit it", I say and sit down again.
"But I don't want to miss the movie", he says and takes some of the popcorn.
"You've seen this movie so many times, just go to sleep", I say, taking the bowl away from him.
"Is it possible that after I told you what you wanted to know, you just wanted to get rid of me?", he asks, grinning as if he already knows the answer.
"Maybe, maybe not.
We'll never know that", I say, leaning back again.
"Wow, that's really nasty", he says, throwing popcorn at me. He can't win this fight.

Early in the morning

I don't know when I fell asleep. But I know that I didn't watch the end of the movie this time. Luckily I set the timer of the TV.
Slowly I try to get up, but something stops me.

"Let me go, Peter", I say, trying to free myself from his embrace. Unfortunately, I don't know what else to do and pinch him, whereupon he immediately lets me go.
"Ouch", he mumbles softly.
"You didn't want it otherwise", I say, getting up.

Peter's Pov.

I'm still half asleep when suddenly something moves next to me.
"Let me go, Peter", now I realize. Suddenly I feel a slight pain in my arm and release her.
Why did she pinched me?
"Ouch", I growl quietly.
"You didn't want it otherwise", she says as she gets up. I just turn around and go back to sleep.

Amanda's Pov.

When I enter the living room again, Peter has fallen asleep again. I just shake my head and go to my room to get some new clothes.
Now Grandma is also awake and standing in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Grandma", I say, hugging her.
"Good morning, my angel, when does Peter have to go home?", she asks.
"Probably after breakfast", I say and go back into the living room to wake him up, but he's already awake and puts on his sweater.
"Come on, there's breakfast", I say and hear him follow me.

After breakfast is over, I say goodbye.
"Thanks for talking to me about this", I say.
"Next time, you tell me what else has happened", he says, and I nod.
"Promise, see you on Monday".

I spend the rest of Saturday with Grandma.
