Chapter 18: Feb 26

I woke up, normal day. However, it was a student-free day, so we were able to stay home.

Suddenly there was a knock on the front door. Sheldon stood there.

I blushed. "Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"Hey, beautiful. Thought I'd come and surprise you." He said, rubbing his neck.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry, I just got up, hence the pyjamas and my hair looking like an actual birds nest."

"That's alright. You did it to me the other day, anyway." He laughed

"You can come in, I just need to get dressed, you can go sit in the lounge if you want." He came in, I closed the door behind me.

While I was getting dressed, Shannon knocked on my door, "Uh, Michaela? Why is Sheldon sitting in our lounge-room?"

"He came to visit." I answered while tying up my hair.

"Oh, alright then."

Once I was out and dressed, I poured some cereal for myself. "Have you had breakfast yet, Sheldon?"

"Yeah, don't worry."

I sat down next to him. "I don't do much on Saturdays. Nothing on TV anymore, so I just watch Netflix.... What do you want to watch?" I asked.

"Depends, what are you watching now?"

"Couple of things, really... Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Doctor Who, re-watching Riverdale."

"Nine-Nine, maybe? Who's your favourite?"

"Peralta, I ship him with Santiago. What about you?"

"Diaz, she's badass."

"Oh my god, yes."

Halfway through season 1, I stopped to make lunch. Which was literally was just toasted sandwiches. Mum and Dad had gone out, Shannon had already made his lunch and taken it to his room. My guess is he was avoiding us. Would prefer it, honestly.

"What do you want in your toastie, Shel?" I half-yelled to the lounge-room.

"What have you got?" He yelled back.

"Salami, ham, cheese, sausages, tomatoes." I said, looking into the fridge.

"Whatever you're having, I'm not fussed."

"Ham and cheese, it is." I tossed the cheese and the bag of ham onto the bench and I made toasties for both of us.

I sat down, handed Sheldon his lunch, and un-paused Netflix.

Sheldon and I laid there, I had my head on his shoulder.

In the time it took to finish season 1, there were many times where we would just do the stupidest things, he'd tickle me, I'd try to avoid it, and fail, So I'd get him back.

Around 7PM, we were just starting the second season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Mum and Dad had brought home dinner. We had spaghetti bolognese.

They then left again as they Mum had a meeting and dad was going to go to a friend's house.

We were alone again. Kind of, Shannon was hiding from us. He wasn't in the room so it didn't count.

We couldn't find anything else to watch, so we did absolutely nothing. One of times when you just stare into space, or play with your phone...

Eventually my phone died, So I had to do something else. I knew exactly what I was going to do.
