Chapter Twenty-Three

I was woken up when I felt Peter crawl out of bed planning he head out of our bedroom.

"I might not want to do that if I were you," I said before he would actually do what he plans to, which is I'm sure is to have some cereal and eat since it's close to ten am.

He grips at the door knob and groans in annoyance. "Seriously?!"

I pursed my lips together and nod shyly. Trying to shake off the position I just witnessed not fifteen minutes ago from my mind, that's why I went back to sleep so that maybe this hunger would just subside and I can kill time.

"Why did you offer to let your friend stay here anyway! I want to eat breakfast! I slept as soon as I got back from work!" He whined like a little child and stomped his foot. Poor Peter came back from a double shift yesterday, he was so tired that he immediately fell asleep after briefly washing up.

I roll my eyes, "Don't pin this on me, besides he's your friend too." Brandy and Jackson are staying in our living room at the moment. Brandy's apartment pipe broke down and she have no water. It would have been fine if she came over to take showers here or something but Jackson surprised her for the weekend and her pipes wont be fixed till monday.

Then he sighs, "Yeah but they could have stayed at a hotel or something. I don't want that fear of seeing someone's ass hanging out when I want to leave my room." At least we are lucky that this apartment has a half bathroom in the living room.

I bite my lip and fight the urge to laugh. Last night when he came back he walked in on Jackson and Brandy in the middle of their whatever, I refused to leave my room as soon as I told them they can stay for the weekend. I forget to relay him that information and was given such a not so visually appeasing surprise when he saw them.

I was really laughing when he told me the story as he ran to my room whie Brandy and Jackson seemed unphased by his interruption. "Can you hear yourself Peter? Hotels in New York are too expensive. They'd help us too if we were in a bind."

He sighs knowing that I am right. "Yeah but at least try to keep their hands from each other until known owner is at safe zone."

I roll my eyes, "Like you can if you are in their position," Jackson works as a computer engineer at a well known company in Boston while Brandy is here in New York still working for the same sports paper she's been in for a over a year now. Who would have thought that Brandy's that same girl in college who said to me and Leah how long distance relationships are too much work to even try or be in a committed relationship at that for over a year when they are about 3 and a half hours apart. They see each other as much as they can for a weekend trip or longer at least once in two months taking turns.

He groans since once again I am right. Before the school year ended, he had to go to Virginia for the whole weekend while I stayed in New York since it was finals week and Dr Young needed all hands on deck from her TAs. When he got back home early that morning, he didn't even wake me up to say hi to but he had did try to in the most unique way that I was gasping his name and we didn't even leave our bed most of the day but only to refuel then yeah.

It was one of the best days... and I can tell he's thinking the same thing too since his expression has changed into a playful one as if he was also remembering what I'm talking about.

"Well then," He grins at me. "They can't have all the fun now, since we are trapped in this room, might as well get the best out of it."
