Bossman

Chapter 6

   I had woke up pretty early, and I just couldn't get back to sleep. I had just laid there for a while. Once I was sure I was about to waste the day away, I got up and sorta just trudged around the room. Once it began to get somewhat light out, I headed over to my closet.
   After looking around for a while, I had finally chosen something to wear. I had picked out a pair of gray tights and a black long sleeve. I saw a pair of fuzzy slippers and just knew that I had to wear them. They were pastel pink, and had a lace type of design over them. I threw the clothes over my arm and headed to bathroom that was connected to our- I mean my room. I hadn't really checked the bathroom out.
    It was almost a little weird, really. The shower had my favorite hair stuff on the shelf. There were big fluffy towels on hooks around the shower. I decided I would go ahead and take a shower, I don't see why I couldn't. I turned the nobs, stopping when I had a pretty warm water coming out. There was a basket by the wall, full of clothes. Some of which I recognized as the clothes Luke had been wearing yesterday. So I stripped down and tossed my clothes in the basket.
   The water felt like a waterfall of relief. Given the past few days, I was a bit tense. I kinda just stood there, like the shower provided a safe room for me to think in. Of course, I snapped out of it a few minutes later. I turned around and reached for the shampoo putting enough in my hand. I lather it up and started running it through my hair. It felt weird and almost cold as it ran down my back, when I washed it out.
   I almost had a heart attack as Luke walked in and declared his presence. "Hey!". He was cheerful, yet still a bit tired. I pulled the shower curtain aside just enough for my face to pop out. I wouldn't dare let him see anything else. I almost lost my mind. He stood there without a shirt, his pants unbuttoned and barely on. Awfully good situation, in another universe. He took a tooth brush and put a strip of tooth paste on it. He was talking while he brushed his teeth. "I've got a few meeting, and a few places to be. So I won't be home until around 4." He mumbled.
   I returned to my shower while he was brushing his teeth. While I was putting the conditioner in my hair, I curiously asked "What happens at your meetings?". "Welp. I mostly meet with people to either make deals, check up on those I'm in deals with. Occasionally, I meet with people who just have some information for us. I heard him close the toilet and sit down so he could talk for a minute.
   "So. You run this 'organization'?". I suppose I should be scared. Gang. He basically runs a high fashioned gang. There's no covering it up with delicious frosting. "Mhm. I sigh the deals, and everything involved. I make the plans and orders. I go in just about every mission. If you want, we can continue later... I have to get going". Well, okay then. I didn't want him to leave. "Okay". "Josh is going to stay, so feel free to ask him about anything, or if you need anything". And with that, he was gone.
   It wasn't too long until I had finished up and gotten dressed. I'm sure I was smiling ear to ear while I put my slippers on. Maybe even more as I wore them while I headed downstairs. A few were already up, some were still asleep. Holly was one of the only ones at the table.
  I stood there for a minute, thinking about it. Eventually, I rolled my eyes and decided to go sit by her. She looked over at me like I was crazy. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not going to be a dumbass and stay pissed at you... We'll talk about it later.". And that was the truth. I was thinking about it. And she is my best friend after all. I can't give her up. She more than likely wasn't allowed to tell me.
"Hey?" She said a bit surprised. I half smiled. There was a bit of silence. "So uh. How are you liking it here?" She asked, taking a bite of her food. I shrugged. "I mean. It's not bad. It's just not familiar I guess. I have no choice but to end up liking it.". She kinda nodded, smiling a little bit. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I said turning to face her. She nodded since her mouth was full. "Why does everyone keep looking at me and watching me?". She started laughing. "Dude. It's because your with Luke.". "And?". "Cass, He's like royalty here. We all might as well be the Bossman fan club".

  I was sorta just walking around the house, looking for something to do. Josh's words sprung through my mind. "I'm sure he will wane to show you your music room". I still hadn't been introduced to it. And now I sorta want to. I headed up to the second floor. I stopped dead in my tracks as I was met with a weird door close to our room. Engraved in a place on the door, read Cassie's Den. Well. I guess this is it. I opened the door cautiously, and was met with an even more jaw dropping sight than my closet. There were shelves of Cd's, albums, and movies. I walked over to the shelving that was built onto the wall. I noticed the little drawers which were full of earbuds, headphones, and AUX cords. I almost gasped as I moved to the desk with a pastel pink turn table, CD player and Walkman. It was mesmerizing. But that wasn't all. On the opposite side, there were shelves of books. Close by, was a Huge tv. I think the finishing touch was the mini fridge with I just had to open. Inside, was my favorite drinks and snacks. Pudding cups, peach Tea, rice crispy treats, and a crap ton of other things. There was a couch positioned in front of the TV. I was all completely perfect. And I got he feeling that I was going to fall deeply in love with this room.

It was pretty late, and I was beginning to doze off. It was easy in this big ass bed. Spongebob re-runs were playing on the TV. Suddenly, Luke walked in, making me jump a little. "Hey" I mumbled tiredly. "Hey, Love. I'm
Sorry I got home so late." He said in a soft voice. I couldn't help but smile. "I'm just gonna get some clothes, and I'll be out of your hair.". My face scrunched up. "No..Stay". He kinda stood there baffled. "Are you sure?". I nodded my head and he walked over to the bed. I rolled over so he'd have room.
Within a few minutes, he was comfy and watching my stupid shows with me. It was then that I made a stupid decision. I rolled over and curled into his side, laying my head on his shoulder. No, Cassie. Stop it. His arm made its way around my backside. And I felt home for the first time in a long time. Cassie, you can't be thinking like this. But I can't help it, he's so. He's so perfect. Let's just hope I'm not sleeping with the enemy.
