*mooo...moooo*
My eyes started to open slowly and adjust to the sunlight bursting through the windows. I freed my arm from the heap of sheets on me to quickly stretch my arms. My ringtone became louder. I started patting around the bedside table feeling for my phone. I heard a few frames fall in the process and I finally grasped my phone. I lazily opened the phone and answered it.
"Mmm...hello?" I asked groggily. I sat up and started to move my neck side to side to loosen it up a bit.
"Did you forget it's Saturday morning?" Chad said. My eyes immediately opened and I gasped looking at the clock that was now on the floor from falling off. 10:13.
"Oh man! I must have slept in again!" I held the phone between my shoulder and ear as I got out of bed to get dressed.
He laughed a little before responding, "I figured that was the case. There's no traffic for someone who lives 3 blocks from the Starbucks."
I smiled, "True. Alright I'll be there in..." I looked at my watch again only to see it hadn't changed. "11 minutes and 23 seconds."
"I'm counting down. twenty-two...twen-"
I hung up immediately and tossed my phone on my bed. I ran into my closet and grabbed what I had set out for today. It was a white v-neck with a blue plaid button down, dark skinny jeans with no rips and tears, and my run down black converse that looked about a year old, but they were really two years old.
I ran into my bathroom and did my morning routine and after that I quickly got dressed. I grabbed my phone off my bed and ran into the living room. I heard Cooper's collar and I knew he must have just gotten up from his bed.
Cooper was my 4 month old puppy I had gotten as a gift 2 weeks ago from Chad. He's a golden retriever which means he'll be pretty big soon. I had had a dog like Cooper when I was younger, but she passed away. When I saw him I just had to get him. Chad said he would pay and after a few minutes of arguing I gave in. And because Cooper was a gift from Chad, he got part of his name.
Chad and I are pretty close. We act like we're brother and sister. We've been with each other for about 3 years. Our shows ended 2 and a half years ago and we've stayed tight ever since. He really is a great guy, and sometimes there's this...spark between us. I've tried to keep that hidden cause I don't wanna ruin anything. I'd hate to lose him. Its not like I would do anything either.
I have trust issues and Chad and Tawni are the people I tell everything to. I'm stubborn about a lot of things and I say "No" a lot, unlike Yes Man with Jim Carry. Yeah I'm...Tim...Barry...his opposite.
Anyways Cooper ran behind me as I grabbed my wallet and keys by the door.
"Cooper I'll be back in a bit. I'll feed you then, okay?" I said as I closed the door to apartment 204 behind me. I ran down the hallway and quickly debated between the elevator and the stairs. I chose the stairs and made my way down as fast as I could.
I ran into the lobby and Jeffry, the receptionist, waved to me.
"Late again, Sonny?" Jeff and I were pretty cool.
"Aren't I always?" I said running by. I heard his laugh behind me as I raced through the double doors and was standing at the corner of Main St. and Hillside St. (A/N: Made up names) I turned right and started running. Luckily for me, the light was showing a little white man walking sign on the crosswalk. I quickly ran and crossed the street just in time to barge through the doors of Starbucks. I jogged over to the familar booth on the left and was greeted with Chad looking at his watch and moving his lips, silently counting.
"Time." I said out of breath causing him to hit stop on his watch.
"Not bad, Munroe. A minute and three seconds to spare." He smirked.
I smiled still trying to catch my breath.
"Tall Hot Chocolate"
"Is that mine?" I asked Chad.
"I'll grab it." He said. He stood up and walked over to grab it. By the time I caught my breath, which was only a few seconds.
"Thanks."
"No problem." He smiled. He tapped his fingers impaciently as I took my first sip. I set my drink down and looked at him.
"Alright Coop, what's the news?" He looked at me shocked.
"Wha...how did you-"
"You think I don't know somethin's up? I know you too well."
"Yeah you're right." He sighed defeated.
"So...you gonna tell me?" I said.
He looked above my head as if debating it. He always did this. He'd debate telling me and I would eventually get annoyed and then he'd spit it out.
"Chad."
"Hmm I don't know. I mean you came in late. Are you worthy?" He said as if scratching his chin with his thumb and index finger and lifting one eyebrow.
"Chad." I said a little more annoyed.
"Alright alright. You're no fun"
"I am too! Just not when I was rudely waken up by a cow!"
He gasped, "I am not a cow!"
"I meant my phone, dumbo! But maybe... I meant you too!" I smirked.
"You shouldn't lie, Munroe. It's bad for you." He smiled.
"I'll stop lying when you do." I laughed.
We laughed for a little while before finally calming down.
I realized that he had bought two chocolate muffins.
"Chocolate muffins?" I asked. "Must be some special news. You only get these for special ocasions."
He laughed, "You know me so well Munroe." He said as he pushed over one of the muffins on a napkin to me. I picked it up and asked him.
"Tell me the news!" I started to the take a bite into my muffin when he pulled out a navy ring box and opened it up to show a silver engagement ring. It was a square-shaped crystal with a few tiny crystals around it.
I nearly choked on my muffin at the words that left his mouth next.
"I'm gonna marry her."
