Nini Roberts
I put down my toothbrush and rinse out my mouth before sighing. I try to shake off the thoughts in my mind that would lead to the reason on why Ricky was so mad, but it was useless.

I take the towel and throw it in the laundry hamper before shutting off the light to the bathroom and heading back into my room.

I shut the door lightly behind me and take my hair out of its low pony tail and ruffle my hair up a little. I look at the figure laying on the bed before joining beside him. I pull the blanket over me and lay on my back.

Not knowing if he was awake or not, I very much wanted answers.

"What's with you Bowen?" I ask, not too loudly. "Seriously, You don't ever act like that."

He doesn't answer right away but when he does, his voice is unreadable. "Nothings wrong."

"Don't lie to me," I soften my voice, "or..keep things from me."

"I'm-"

"I've never kept things from you, have I? And if I did, did I have good reasoning behind it?" I keep my eyes on the ceiling. "Obviously, I'd like to know how you're feeling. I wish I've learned to read your mind by now but oh well. Looks like we need to actually talk like normal people."

"You're over reacting." He states, turning to face me.

"Gotta match each other's vibe no?" I say with a small laugh, though I was very wanting of answers. "So is it something small or something big?"

"..what?.."

"The reason you're being like this? Is it big or small?"

"You know the reason Nini." I can feel his eyes on me, but I don't meet them.

"Me, not being in any control of my schedule, is the reason you mad? Richard, that's not fair. So until you give me a valid reason on why you're mad, I'll play the same game you are."

I'm not playing any game with him. If he doesn't confess, then he doesn't confess and I just continue on with my life until he does. I'm just trying to get him to speak up and I suppose its okay to not but..he should.

He doesn't answer but turns back onto his side, causing me to hold in my scoff.

I adjust the blanket on me and shut my eyes, pushing whatever chip lays on my shoulders.

Morning

"Well Athena..you woke up on time." I laugh, kissing her forehead.
