You all went out to the Life cafe that night to celebrate Collins and his new job. After being told to leave by the waiter you were all familiar with, Collins waved his surprisingly large amount of cash in front of the man's face, causing him to go silent, and gesture to the tables nearby. You all laugh and sit down, content with yourselves. You order a couple beers and some fries, before starting in on your usual chit chat with each other.
Time flies by, and before you know it, you've been sitting there for close to three hours. You decide it's time to go home but Mark and Roger have other ideas. "Hey guys I wanna go to the cat scratch club." Roger says, his words slightly slurred from the amount of alcohol he had consumed in three hours. "Yesssss." Mark's voice takes on the tone of a high school girl's as he takes another shot of vodka.
You and Collins were the two who managed not to get TOO drunk."Nahh guys, I'm gonna head home. I'm pretty tired." You chuckle slightly, remembering that Collins was gay and probably wasn't into the whole female stripper thing. "Yeah me too, but you guys can go if you want." You tell them, not wanting to ruin their fun night out.
You and Mark were dating, but you didn't mind if he went to a strip club with Roger, he was drunk anyway. "Okayyyy...see you guys later." Roger waves you and Collins goodbye, and you give Mark a quick kiss before getting up and following Collins out the door.
It was freezing. "Damn it's cold." He says as soon as you step outside. "Where's your coat?" You ask him, noticing just now that he was only wearing a flannel shirt. He shakes his head, "Don't have one." He tells you, and you take yours off, handing it to him.
"I'm okay, don't worry about it." He says with a smile. "No take it." You tell him, you had more layers on than him anyway. He takes the coat, probably only because the temperature really was below zero.
It's probably a five minute walk back to the loft, and you congratulate him once more on his job, and ask him questions, trying to get to know him better than you already did. He had only been living with you for a couple weeks anyway. You laugh and talk all the way back to the loft, and then you laugh and talk some more there.
You are surprised by how deep he is, as you had only seen the charming and charismatic side of his persona. He's also probably the funniest person you know, and almost every sentence that comes out of his mouth has you in stitches. Eventually though, you both decide to hit the hay.
"I'll see you in the mornin chica." He says, chuckling and giving you a quick hug. "Night Collins." You say with a smile, heading into your room.
You had begun sleeping in April's bed every night, as you found it oddly comforting. You loved that it still smelled like her. It was like you still had a piece of her with you.
You smiled as you climbed into bed and turned off the light, closing your eyes and feeling the cool air come through the window. The moonlight was illuminating the room, and you could see it's dim light through your eyelids.
Eventually your breathing slows and falls into a steady rhythm...and you fall into a deep sleep.
Lol super short but I wanted to write something! XXOO
