I ate breakfast with Timmy every day during the following two weeks. Sometimes he would eat with me, and sometimes he would only accompany me. Either way, I enjoyed it because I always started my days laughing. The days I didn't have work early in the morning were mostly the days he would eat with me and we would talk until I had to go get ready.
We didn't hang out much during the day, though. As mentioned, I usually had work to go to, and he would hang out with friends or Lily. It was only one day that week that we spent together, and that was a day when I was free from work. I couldn't help but feel like it was only because he felt sorry that I would be alone if he left to hang out with his friends.
He insisted to stay, though, even if I told him it was okay for him to leave. I had no problem being home alone. I could always watch a movie, read a story or go out for a run, but I didn't decline to spend time with Timmy either.
During these two weeks of knowing him, I had grown to like him more and more. He was fun to spend time with because he always made me smile. Sometimes he would tell stupid jokes or embarrassing situations he had been in, like once when he fell off a chair during a Q&A because he was swinging back and forth on it.

I had actually watched that video on Youtube, but it was even more hilarious when he told me about it in real life. Swinging on his chair was something he could still do today because he never sat still. He was always moving, and sometimes it stressed me out. I had noticed that it was usually worse when he was nervous, though, which he hadn't been many times in my company so far. However, I had only known him for two weeks, so maybe there was more to come.
Every day, I also realized more and more how I didn't have anything against the fact that he liked to make fun of me because I knew he didn't do it with the intention to hurt me. He did it because he knew I wouldn't be offended and because I would make fun of him too, so it was all mutual.
It was now Sunday, and I was lying on my bed, watching Youtube videos on my phone. I had my red headphones on, and I knew they looked ridiculous on me, which was why I only wore them when I was alone. The sound was great in them, though, and that made it all worth it to use them.
