-Sleepover-
Claire never really had sleepovers when she was little. But when she was with Leon and Sherry, it felt like one. They'd stay up and eat pizza while watching lame movies, tell embarrassing stories about themselves, play jokes on each other whenever they could. It was fun for all of them, especially for little Sherry.
But after Claire left, and then came back, she never got to have her little 'sleepovers' with Sherry. Nor with Leon for that matter. She was lonely, her only company was her big brother. And he was always off chasing Jill's skirt.
A few years later, there was a knock at her door in the middle of the night. She headed to the wooden barrier and looked through the peep hole. There was Leon, holding a box of pizza in one hand, and a six pack of beer in the other.
The redhead opened the door and smiled at him, "What are you doing here, Leon?"
She was greeted by a lopsided grin and a wink, "I thought we could have a little sleepover together, like in the past."
"Are there mushrooms on that pizza there?" she arched an eyebrow at the flat cardboard box.
"No, and I got Guiness too." he raised the bottles in his hand and had them clink together.
Claire opened the door widely and ushered him inside, "Well come on in!"
