There's more

Chapter 2

My eyes blinked open.

Lucas tore up one of the couch pillows. Adam was fast asleep next to me on the couch. A pizza box sat across our laps and an empty sparkling water bottle sat at our feet. I never knew Adam snored so loud.

I stood up to start cleaning up the mess Lucas had made of the pillow. When I turned to pick up the pizza box I saw Adam peaking at me with one eye open. "Wake up loser you can help me clean" He chuckled. "Lucas you are the reason we can't have nice things." He patted him twice on the head.  "We still love him though." He laughed "Of course how could you not love this face" He pushed Lucas' cheeks up.  Adam picked up the empty bottle and placed it in our recycling bin.

I picked up my phone to see six missed calls from Victor.

"Babe? What's wrong?" I asked as i heard him answer his phone. "Why didn't you answer?" He sounded mad. "I was asleep babe. I fell asleep watching a trash movie." I heard a loud noise through the phone. "I was worried sick about you all last night! I was so mean to you when I left last night I thought you'd hate me forever." He started to sounds sad. "I didn't want to make you feel like you were putting him before us. He is you're good friend. I am sorry I made you feel that way." I could tell when Victor was disappointed in himself. This was one of those moments. "Darling, it's okay, really. I know how you get, I know who you are. I know you meant nothing by what you said. It's alright. Why don't you meet Adam and I for drinks tonight and we can all hang out. " He sighed a relieving sigh. "That sounds awesome. Thank you babe. I love you, bye."

Victor came into our friend group a year back. He's about five years older than Adam and I and 7 years older than Margot. You see Adam and I are both 26, Victor is 31, and Margot is 24. I met Victor on the public bus one day on my way to work. Two guys tried to take my phone from my purse without me noticing. However when a 6'3 man in great shape noticed them, he wasn't too happy about it. Next thing I know Victor's man bun was down and both the boys where running off at the next stop. Victor handed me my phone and made fun of me for having my dog as my wallpaper. From then on he hasn't left my side. He is very protective of me. I love her so much.

Adam was hunched over the counter looking at photos of Margot on his phone. I took his phone away from him. "Hey" he shouted. "Give it back" I laughed. "No! It's not good for your health. I deleted the photo album called Mari off his phone. "Margot is gone Adam." Adam began to cry. "I know James you don't have to rub it in." He wiped his nose with his sleeve. Gross. "Adam we are going out for drinks later with Victor. I want you to shower and dress nice! I threw his phone back to him.

I checked the time. 2 pm. I went to go decide what dress I wanted to wear and I settled for the black V necked dress. I needed tonight to be perfect for Adam.
