Oreo

Chapter 19: Marathon of Memories

Orion's POV~

The events of earlier that day was still pissing me off.  Not necessarily my sister blabbing to Ro about all the things I said about him.  That was fine; I just didn't want her to start exaggerating the things I had told her.  Of course I did say things like that but, knowing her, she would just keep adding on more and more stuff that would be so personal that no one in their right mind would ever share about their love life.  Especially not with their sister.  No.  What bothered me was that bitch her her unwitting audacity to go rubbing her pointy little nose up in my business. 

Romeo took out a large mixing bowl.  "So... you want me to put all the pretzels and popcorn into this bowl?"

I nodded, smiling as I shoved away memories of the past, burying it deep, deep, deep down in my subconscious.  "Yep.  I'll prepare the brew~"  I slipped past him to a different high cupboard and retrieved my largest pitcher.

His eyes turned to me as he was opening the party sized Smartfood bag, the smell of white cheddar filling the room as it squealed.  "What are you going to make in that?"

"A little thing called Death in a Bottle."  I watched in amusement as he stared blankly at me.  "It's a mix of different energy drinks, a little sugar and other stuff."

After an explanation, he looked a bit cautious yet his curiosity was poorly hidden.  "Is that healthy?" Something told me his concern was mostly a ploy.

A scoff escaped me and I removed the lid. "None of what we're doing tonight is healthy.  Besides, we gotta stay awake somehow."

His lips formed a line and he nodded shortly before turning his attention to the tin bowl, pouring in the popcorn.  "Death in a Bottle it is."

"Admit it: You were actually interested by this the whole time weren't you~." I smirked, taking a sip of my forth mixed energy drink as he put in the third movie.

His expression was plain as he plopped back down beside me.  We had already finished off a lot of the pizza and had all kinds of cookies, candy, and other stuff around us as well as the popcorn and pretzels.  "I guess... yeah.  It sounded cool."

"Der~."

He elbowed me lightly and we continued with the marathon.

After The Prisoner of Azkaban, Ro and I took turns in the bathroom.  We had chatted a little bit about school and work throughout the movies, when it came to scenes we knew weren't exactly too exciting to the plot.  It was 3:06am and so far we were still awake.  Not that neither of us had stayed up later before, but still.

I really need to work on getting a job so I can help bring in income... I've still got money in my savings, which is probably why I've been so lazy.  But I think we might have to move.  Now that Juny knows where this place is, that means her family will find out and I don't want them trying to tie me to their daughter again.  I'm my own person and I don't need the drama of that messed up family.  My life is already messed up as it is, and things are just starting to look better now that I have Romeo.  I'll have to bring this up with him before I go making choices, though.  He deserves to know.

Romeo's POV~

I reentered the room, hands a little pink from hot water that accidentally burned my hands just a few moments ago.  I glanced at Orion as I took my spot beside him.  He looked to be deep in thought about something but kept his features calm.

"... What ya thinkin' about..?"

He straightened up a little, casually, before leaning back against the wall of pillows we made  His expression changing quickly, eyebrows raising but looking up to the television with a shrug.  "Ah, nothing.. it can wait for later."
