Martha’s POV

                I grabbed the pizzas from Oscar so he could open the door. The second I entered the hotel room Ogge grabbed the pizzas from me.

                “FOOOOOD!” Ogge exclaimed.

                Mary and Felix got up from the sofa followed by Omar. Everyone loaded their plates with pizza and then sat down in front of the tv.

                I was the last one to get my food because I had to use the restroom. When I went to sit down, Oscar patted the floor next to him, signaling me to come over and sit with him.

                As gracefully as I could, I maneuvered myself through the others and sat down.

                We didn’t start the movie right away. Instead, we sat talking.

                Ogge and Omar were telling the most random jokes ever. Felix’s laughs echoed through the room after each one. I glanced up at Mary who was contently cuddling with Felix.

                “Get used to it!” she chuckled when she caught me staring at her. “These four run the show. All you and I have to do is sit back and watch. I promise it hasn’t gotten boring yet.”

                Ogge grinned, “Yeah it’s true. We are also the coolest people you will ever meet!”

                Oscar cocked a cheeky grin at me.

                Once we finished eating it was close to ten o’clock. I was completely exhausted but I didn’t want to leave. I helped Oscar and Mary clean up the left over pizza before settling back down on the floor. Oscar brought me a pillow and a blanket which I was thankful for.

               Omar turned on the movie as everyone got situated. Ogge and Omar were sharing one sofa. Felix and Mary were lying cozily on the floor next to Oscar who was sitting next to me.

                I rested my head against the pillow that was up against the sofa as the movie started to play. I had never heard it before, and I wasn’t really in the mood to watch a movie. Especially with Oscar’s leg constantly brushing mine, I found it hard to concentrate. Fifteen minutes in and I still couldn’t concentrate. Plus, Felix and Mary were, erm, generally busy. I was thankful when Ogge slapped Felix’s head and they left the room.

                As the movie dragged on it became increasingly difficult for me to stay awake. Even when Oscar casually slipped his arm around me, I was still about to fall asleep. I let out a giant yawn which I silenced with my hand.

                “Tired?” Oscar asked in a low voice in order to avoid disturbing the others.

                I faked yawned again and rested my head against his shoulder pretending to sleep. I giggled at my annoying girl actions but quit when Oscar just pulled me closer to his side.

                I nestled my head in the crook of his neck and let my eyes slowly close. It wasn’t long before I was completely asleep.

Oscar’s POV

                I had pulled her closer to me hoping that she would fall asleep. Plus, it was just another reason to have her against me.

                Omar saw what I had done and shook his head with a grin. I wasn’t a player. I didn’t hit on girls I didn’t like. I vowed never to have one night stands. All four of us were boys with morals. We had parents, grandparents, family and friends that we wanted to make proud.
