A quiet beeping sound that became louder and louder by the minute broke his peaceful sleep.
First he tried to ignore it but it wouldn't stop, and when it was about as high as someone with a megaphone screaming in his ear Zip looked up from his pillow where he had buried his face. Eyeing the watch. Annoyed he turned it off by violently slamming his fist down at it. It didn't break but at least it stopped beeping.
The hacker sat up in his bed slowly, kicking his blankets of. He muttered something and started searching for his pants. He found them on a chair not too far away and put them on. He looked for his shirt but couldn't find it anywhere.
-Ah screw it…I'll look for it later. He muttered and made his way out of the room and into his office.
He almost walked right into his own desk. Letting out a small growl. Zip was usually a morning person but he hadn't gotten much sleep this night. Firs he had been working way past bed time with things Lara needed done by the morning. After that all the caffeine he had consumed made it hard to sleep and he had woken up several times because of weird dreams.
He went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Clear his head and then get back to work. As he entered he didn't notice Alister sitting by the table reading. He looked up as the dark man entered the room and observed him for a while before saying something.
-Good morning.
Zip jumped at the sound of his voice and spun around.
-Where the hell did you come from? He muttered confused. The Englishman gave him a small smile and then looked down at his book again.
-I was here when you came in here. Although you're usually here before me.
Zip scratched the back of his head and sat down on the chair in front of Alister.
-Yeah well I didn't get much sleep last night. He watched Alister turn page, not saying anything. Zip leaned back in his chair and noticed Alisters tea cup in front of him.
-Say you eaten anything yet? He asked. Alister looked up shaking his head slightly.
-No, I was waiting for you to wake up so you could make me something. Zip smirked at this comment and got up. He walked towards the refrigerator and opened it, scanning its inside.
-What would you like then?
-I don't know.
Zip sighed. –Glorious! I'll like…Make waffles or something. He turned his head to look at the archeologist again.
-Where's Lara and Winston by the way?
Alister looked up from his book again, and wrinkled his eyebrows. –You don't know? Forgotten already have you? You're really not yourself today. He muttered. Zip gave him an annoyed look.
-What? What have I forgotten?
-Your shirt for one.
The hacker looked down at his own bare chest. –Oh right. The bookworm shook his head and smiled in amusement. –anyhow Lara and Winston went to France I believe. Apparently Lara's uncle still hasn't given up the idea that he owns some of Lara's things and they both went to sort it out.
Zip nodded. –Ah okay so it's just the two of us then?
-mm… I'm not sure how long that business will take though.
Zip nodded again and then turned back to the refrigerator. –How about…. A very nice and unbelievable delicious sandwich? Alister curled his fingers into the sign of approval.
After he had eaten and made himself some coffee zip was finally starting to feel like himself again. Now back behind his beloved computer he felt great once more. He sat there and typed for a few hours. Undisturbed, then after a while he looked up and noticed Alister walking into the room with a book under his arm. As always.
-Hey Al. he greeted him and waved. Alister rose an eyebrow at him but said nothing. Zip looked back at his computer screen. –What brings me the joy of your company? He mocked. Alister shook his head and rolled his eyes at the other man.
-Nothing much. Lara called. She said she might be home next week or late tomorrow….which doesn't tell us much really. He looked at the American. Who nodded.
-She also said that if you are done with the work she gave you before she left then you might take some time off, work on your blog or stalk someone I don't know how you pass time.
Zip ignored his comment, he leaned back in his chair and smiled big.
-Great cause I'm aaaaaall done! Oh yayness free time! He made a small dance. Alister smirked and turned. –Well I will be in the library if you want anything.
Zip stooped his dance and quickly got up from his chair, almost knocking if over. –wait man! Do you have to sit in that dusty old library all the time? Alister turned and gave him a confused look.
-umm… What else would I do?
-Heck I don't know! Can't we do something?
Alister looked at him. He seemed to be pondering over this. After a while he finally answered.
-Why…Okay then. Zip smiled. –Okay so what do you want to do?
- I don't know why don't you think of something?
-We could…watch a movie? Zip suggested. Alister let out a small chuckle. –For some reason I have a feeling we don't like the same kind of movies zip.
-Ah you're probably right! He laughed. Alister smiled and placed his book down on zips desk.
-I would suggest going to a museum. BUT I know you're not going to like that…
-We could go out and eat dinner? Zip suggested, Alister crossed his arms and rose an eyebrow.
-When you say it like that you make it sound like a date. He said and laughed. Zip smirked suggestively.
-Why not? He joked. Alister just gave him a superior look and changed subject. – We could…Go for a walk? The hacker sat down on his chair again. –Why walk when you don't have a dog? Maybe we should just watch a movie? Maybe we can agree about one? Alister looked around for a chair, he didn't find one so he carefully sat down on the desk.
-Alright then, I refuse to watch anything violent.
-And I don't want to see any chick flicks.
-Hey! I don't like those kind of movies ether! Alister said and his cheeks turned slightly red, Zip laughed and waved his arm. –I know I know! Just kidding. But really I'm not much for romance! Or anything educational.
The Englishman huffed. –Hmph… Is there anything in between?
-I don't know, I don't have anything in between on my computer though. I guess we could just randomly watch TV. Alister sighed.
-That doesn't sound very fun.
Zip moaned- uuhhrg then what should we do? We don't like doing the same stuff at all. He pointed an accusing finger at Alister.
-How you can be my friend is beyond me!
-Tch! How about a normal conversation then? He pointed at the couch.
-You could make me some tea and we could just talk. He suggested, with a sly smile.
Zip wrinkled his eyebrows. –how come you newer make your own tea? Alister just laughed and went into the living room, taking his seat on the couch in front of the fire. Zip rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen to get the tea.
Alister sipped at his tea and smiled.
-Lovely thank you very much. Zip only shrugged and drank some of his own coke.
-So let's talk. He finally said and placed his feet on the table. Alister rose an eyebrow and sipped his tea once again.
-You start. He stated.
Zip smiled. –uuh fine… He sighed and looked thoughtful.
-You know what? I'm kinda glad that we didn't go for dinner I can't think of anything to say. Alister laughed and put his cup down on the table. –Now you're making it sound like a date again! There wouldn't be any awkward silence unless it was an date. We know each other.
Zip wrinkled his eyebrows. –Yeah but I don't know everything about you and you don't know everything about me!
-Are you implying anything? Or are you just trying to be mysterious?
-I'm not trying anything! He got quiet for a while, Alister didn't say anything ether he just grabbed his cup and leaned back in the sofa.
-It could be. Zip finally said.
-What could?
-Dinner.
-What?
-It could be a date.
The archeologist coughed. –It could? He put the cup down on the table again and coughed some more.
-Yeah. Zip said matter-of-factly. –I sure wouldn't mind.
Alister started to laugh, this annoyed Zip. –what?! He yelled.
Alister waved his hand at him. –Nothing. You're just being silly.
Zip took his feet down from the table and eyed Alister carefully. –You don't believe me. Alister had stopped coughing and straightened himself, smirking slightly.
-No I don't.
-Well It's true. How about it then? We could do it tomorrow or something.
Alister looked at Zip. Tilting his head from one side to the other. Then he got another sly smile on his face. –hm… I'm sorry Zip I don't date.
Zip groaned and threw himself back on the cough. .uuuhggg what's wrong with you?
The other man smiled mysteriously. -I'm just not much of a dating person. Zip pouted and opened his mouth to say something but Alister interrupted him. –thank you for the offer however Zip.
However I'm sure It's not a great loss for you. He laughed and drank the last of his tea.
-Oh yeah? Well there you go, you don't know me. You don't even take my offer seriously!
-Of course not. He noticed the sad look on Zips face. –what I mean is that… oh common now Zip you don't actually want to go on a "date" with me! The tone of his voice almost sounded angry now. Zip just rolled his eyes. –Fine I'll just go and make dinner instead. Still! Think about my offer. He gave him a cheesy smile. –Cause it still stands! And with that he rose from the couch and went into the kitchen. Leaving Alister alone. He watched Zip leave and when he saw the door slam shut behind him he lent back and closed his eyes.
-I'm sorry… he said out loud.
-It's not you…
He opened his eyes again and got up. Leaving the empty cup behind on the table and heading up the stairs towards the library.
-It's me…
