Gone 2 Long

Zion POV

"Hey, Simba. Simba, boy I'm back."

I walked back into our shared house with the gents to be greeted by the wiggly tailed, Simba, I grabbed the little bugger before proceeding to the lounge. I dropped my body on the leather couch and immediately sunk in due to how comfortable I was. Simba pried himself out of my grip as I slowly felt myself slipping into a deep sleep state.

I woke up due to a tingling feeling against my thigh, I woke up to witness my thigh glowing and I pulled out the phone. I didn't even check who was calling but they better have a good reason for calling me during my nap.

"Z here, what you need?"

"What the fuck Zion, how you still asleep knowing damn well we were meant to meet up tonight." The yelling voice of Brandon seemed to pull me out of my zombie-like trance.

"Ahh, shit bro. It completely slipped my mind but can we like reschedule, I really need some time."

"Z, don't come with this bullshit again. We've been prolonging this shit. It's either today or we're gonna miss out on this great opportunity. I'm on my way, be ready in 20. "

Before I could even utter a response, mother Brandon Arreaga had already hung up on me. I huffed as I lifted my heavy body from the couch. This is dumb, I'm sure I could call in sick and the boys can do an interview without me, I mean it's literally this one day I need off, our "break" just begun and their already working us, I mean WtF. I silently moaned to the walls as I moved to the bathroom, tripping over Simba's scattered toys. I could hear him barking up a storm but as to where was, I had absolutely no clue.

A mere 10 minutes later, I was out the shower, brushing my teeth and gazing at my reflection... I really need to go get my dreads twisted again, their starting to look like a birds nest. As I was brushing , I heard the familiar voices of my 4 best friends. I left the bathroom once I was done brushing my teeth and slipped on a pair of boxers and basketball shorts, accompanied by slides before making my way out to the lounge.

"AY, gents. Hows it going."

" I thought I said get ready, you're not dressed meaning you're not ready"

" Fuck off, you told me I have 20 minutes and your ass decides to arrive 10 minutes early so keep quiet."

I jumped onto the couch next to Nick when Edwin handed me an In-n Out packet... I've never felt so blessed in my life. As I devoured the meal, Brandon was running through the details of the interview and to be honest I wasn't interested, I was to busy enjoying my food and deliberately ignoring everything he has to say.
