It was around noon by the time I got out of bed. Well off of Taylors comfy brown leather couch she had in her room.
I gripped the white sheet that was barely doing its job protecting the couch and lifted myself up. As I looked around in a sleepy haze I noticed everyone was still sound asleep. If I remember last night correctly I understand why. We all drank until we got the spins. Thanks to Taylors parents of course.
Bella was sleeping comfortably at the edge of Taylor's bed, Taylor right behind her holding her snug. Moe was passed out on the floor holding Taylor's dog cash, and a bottle of red wine. While Chantel was lying peacefully at the end of the couch I was laying on.
I fell back down on the plump cushion and let out a dramatic sigh. Loud enough for Moe to jump up. "Huh?" He groaned, squinting and trying to block the line of light that was beaming right on his face with the palm of his hand. "Wow I feel amazing" He was obviously being sarcastic.
A strand of my hair annoyingly tickled my eyelashes so I blew it away. "Same" I agreed. I stretched my leg out and poked chantels nose with my big toe. "look" I giggled softly.
Moe stretched out his neck and looked over to what I was doing. He let out a sleepy chuckle and threw one of Taylors throw pillows at Chantel's head.
She opened one eye and gave us an evil look before sitting up and falling on top of me. She cuddled up to me and hid her face in the blanket to block out the light.
"Do you work today?" I asked Moe.
He stretched his limbs out until he shook and looked down at Cash. He nodded his head and began to scratch his back. "at 1:30" he yawned, then slowly standing up to stretch once again. "I gotta get going"
Moe shook Bella and Taylor by their thighs and told them goodbye before walking over to me and Chantel, kissing us both on the head.
He handed me the half-empty wine bottle and headed for the door. "See ya"

Today was supposed to be a relaxing day off with my best friends but of course, back to work.
Fasha called and asked if I could work a few hours. I guess some family emergency came across so I'm holding the place down.
It was thankfully slow in the evening so everyone was cleaning to keep busy. "I swear time freezes when the clock hits 6" Adam sighed, combing his dirty blonde hair with his fingers.
I huffed in agreement and continued to wipe down the marble countertop in circular motions.
The small bell hanging on the door caught my attention so i looked up from the task at hand. "Good Af-" It was Vanessa. My heart sped up a little at her surprise visit. "Oh hey" I flashed her a bright smile and walked over to hug her.
"My favorite barista" She giggled, nuzzling her chin in my shoulder.
That hug was... Different.
Usually its just a quick friendly hug, But the way she held me this time- it was endearing.
"I thought you had the day off?" I asked.
She nodded and pulled something out of her purse. It was a gift, wrapped in Rose gold wrapping paper with a sparkly white bow on top. It looks like it could be a shirt or something.
"Whats this?" I smiled.
She's being super weird right now..
"Open it and find out"
I did as i was told and sat the gift on the table nearby. I carefully undid the bow and set it aside before tearing the paper. It was black scrubs? But why?
