We had returned home after our little night out and as usual I had taken refuge on David's couch which was comfortable so I had no problem while sleeping on it. I woke up and glanced at the bed, Dave was still sleeping ,his model like abs on full display. He slept only in boxer shorts and he continued to do so even with me around. Not that anything had to change, it was me after all who was invading his privacy.

I got up and folded the sheet covering me and put it silently in the bedside drawer. I quietly opened the door and left for my room.

"You were not here", I heard the voice as I entered my room.

I glanced up and found Pat sitting on my bed.

"Hey Patty you are back", I said throwing myself on him making him fall on the bed with me on top of him.

"Yeah", he said . His voice sounded different. It was not his usual cheery, happy and I know it all voice. It was tired and I don't know sounded like sad and disappointed.

"You did not tell me you were coming today. When did you come?", I pouted accusing him.

"You never answered your phone. I texted you, you never returned my text", he stated with a stoic expression on his face, gently removing my hands from him and making me shift away from him.

The realization dawned on me and I felt guilty as hell. Of course it was I who was ignoring Pat these past days but still why was he behaving so calm. If he was pissed, which he had every right to be then he should shout at me but why was he behaving like a defeated person. I was about to apologize to my Patty and make everything alright when he spoke again.

"I came to your room but you were not sleeping here. I can see that you are in your pyjamas, so where were you?", he asked seriously.

"Umm.. about that .. well I am sleeping with Dave", I said shyly feeling embarrassed.

Wait that came out wrong.. I mean I am sleeping in Dave's room , my Gummy bears corrected me.

"Ohh...", he said getting up quickly from my bed.

"Uhh.. Pat I meant tha..."

"You should keep your phone with you. I was calling you but you left your phone here", he said and turned to the door cutting me off.

"See you later Ev", he said and left my room.

I sat on the bed thinking about what just happened . I had never seen Pat with that face. He looked so dejected and to top it all the conversation went all wrong. I was really guilty for avoiding him like that when he was my best friend who cared for me. I remembered that Pat seemed off earlier as well and I had decided to talk to him but then that day with Adrian happened and our talk never occurred.

Pat had been always the sunshine and roses kind of guy. He brought an atmosphere of happiness around him but today that spark was totally missing. I knew it was my fault, if my friend was troubled by something I should have been there for him but I was too much busy with my own pitiful state and today he got it all wrong all thanks to my stupid brain. But does that mean that Pat is jealous of Dave? Or is it that he knows Dave's temperament and was just worried about me?

I decided to properly apologize with Patty about my ignorance of him and also to figure out the reason of his sadness, but first I should freshen up and take a shower.

I did my morning routine and dressed in comfortable clothes. I went straight to Pat's room but he was not there. Probably he was downstairs having breakfast or in the living room. I went downstairs but did not see Pat around. I thought of eating breakfast hence went to kitchen and dished out some food that Tom had kept in the microwave.

I ate quietly and scrolled through my phone. My gaze went to a video that I had saved on my phone from the hard disk back in New Zealand.

I pressed the play button and the video started playing.

Shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty!
Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty.

You can, you can do it very well.
You're the best in the world, I can tell.

Shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty!
Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty.

It was a video shot by my mom when I was five. I was dancing to the beats of 'Shake your booty'. My mom had dressed me like a girl in a pink floral dress. I was constantly wiggling my ass, bending over again and again. The video looked kind of cute and funny. My dancing skills had been present since I was a toddler and my mom liked dressing me as girl and then have me shake my ass to the beats. Of course dressing like that stopped when I turned eight and refused to fall prey to my mothers charms.

I laughed at a particular part when the tiny me in the video jumped and then jiggled the ass four times in air.

"What's so amusing here", came a voice near me and I quickly stopped the video.

"Oh hey Dave. Good morning", I squeaked hoping that he had not seen the video.

"Morning. So what was it that had made you laugh", he asked standing beside me.

"Uhh.. its nothing, just a funny video my friend had shared", I replied. There was no way in hell I was ever going to let anyone see that video.

"Care to share", he asked .

Why is he bothering with a stupid video? He is not like a person who gets interested in stupid jokes.

"Uh... did you have breakfast", I tried to change the conversation but that made him raise his eyebrow.

He tried to snatch the phone from my hand but I was quick and got up and ran away from him and to my surprise and dismay the pigeon dick followed me. We kept running around the dining table and then I decided to run upstairs and that's when he caught me.

I was squirming and laughing in his hold and he pushed me on the sofa, caging me with his body on the top.

"So now about that video", he smirked holding both my hands with his right hand and then pulling my phone out from my back pocket.

A sudden sound of the door closing abruptly made me look at the entrance and I saw Pat standing there staring at us.

"Uh Hey Patty", I said sheepishly but then found David scrolling through the phone finally opening the video which was paused midway and then bursting into laugher while he was still caging me.

I glanced at him and then at Pat but Pat was nowhere to be found.

"Now that's a cute booty you had", Dave said slapping my ass as he got up and handed me my phone.

"Shut up you pigeon-dick", I scolded

Damn, these Sharkey kids.
