Chapter Two

Daydreaming

His eyes slowly open from a faint vibration underneath his back. At first he thought maybe it was muscle spasms til he started to feel a strange bump and smooth corners. He digs underneath his back and pull out his cell phone and check the screen. The morning sunlight coming through the window blinds were hitting him right in the eyes and made it hard for him to see what was on his phone.

A small groan next to him made his shoot up into a sitting position and made him realize that he wasn't in his own bed or his home if that matters, but more in some sort of twin size bunk bed. He looked over to his left to find CJ peacefully sleeping with her back against him. Her naked back to be exact with a sheet barely covering up the rest of her. Her cloudy hair was messy and spilled all over to his side and touching his finger tips. A couple of blue and white feathers covered the bed and his own bottom half wwas tangle in the bed comforter.

A small ding came from his phone and he finally looks at it.

(Holy Shoot! It's already 10:30) He shouted in his mind.

Three missed calls from Rigby and five from Benson read on his phone along with a couple of text messages from Rigby that read:

*Dude, where are you? I woke up and you weren't here*

*Hello, did something happened. Benson is furious that you didn't show up for the meeting*

*Ok it's already 9:30 and still no phone call. Hello?*

*Muscle Man and High Five Ghost are making bets to see if you are alive or not*

*Call Me*

"Oh Crap, Oh Crap," Mordecai said to himself while trying to to untangle himself from the sheets without disturbing CJ in the process. His hand slipped and fell off the bunk bed with a low thump on the floor. He looked up to see if the fall woke her up, but all she did was turn over to her right side and fell back to sleep.

"Whew," He said getting up and feeling every bone in his body popped.

He didn't recall her being a heavy sleeper and smiles smugly for thinking he was the main cause of her being in a deep sleep to begin with. He quickly grabs his phone and was about to walk out when he stopped to look at her for a second. She had a small little smile on her face with a pinkish hue on her cheeks. The blush stood out on her soft white skin and the messy hair nearly made him wanted to skip work and crawl back into bed with her. He groan not knowing if that was a good plan or not so he decided to leave a small note.

CJ,

Didn't want to disturbed you, but had to leave in a hurry for work. I don't know what to say about last night, but I was glad to see you again.

Mordecai.

He left the note next to her sleeping form and quietly exit the apartment. As soon as he was outside and let his eyes adjust to the bright morning sun, he dash down the street to the nearest bus stop to catch a ride back to Twin Peak Park before he found himself without a job.

The bus ride home was brutal to his thoughts. It was too quiet on the bus and that lead him to start thinking again and again about what happened last night. Did he really just did that? Did he really encounter CJ that lead to a lot of feelings arising and passion he actually missed.

(I was lonely and she was there) He said to himself (It didn't mean anything, right?)

A flashback to the night where they were in a tight embrace and as one that lasted for hours said other wise. He remember her being so into it since she actually pulled feathers out and whispered his name once or twice. He buried his face in his hands again from daydreaming so much it made his shiver in desire.

He liked it and here he thought he moved on, but now can't stop thinking about her. His thoughts were interrupted when the bus came to his destination and he ran out and down the sidewalk that led to the house in the middle of the park. He passed by Skips and Muscle Man without even a hello or anything like that and spotted Rigby by the house ranking up leaves.

Rigby stopped what he was doing to check his phone again for a call or a text. "Ugh, where is he?" he said to himself.

His eyes widened when he saw Mordecai skidding over to him, bent over to catch his breath before grabbing the extra rank and went to work. Rigby stares at him for a minute waiting for something to come out of the blue jay's mouth or even look at him since Mordecai had his back facing him.

"Mordecai?" Rigby called him.

"Must have overslept, my bad, but no worry, just ranking leaves," Mordecai said, whistling.

"Dude!" Rigby shouted, throwing his rank aside. "What the hell is going on. You weren't in bed this morning and you're showing up to work late looking like crap and you're not going to tell me anything"

"I don't look like crap!" Mordecai shouted.

But he did to Rigby since it looks like his friend didn't sleep at all last night, his feathers were tangle and matted with messy bed hair. "Yes, you do, it looks like you were in some kind of petty fight.

Mordecai couldn't help, but laugh from Rigby's comment. For a moment he felt and looked drunk. "Oh man, if only, if only" He said, going back to ranking up the leaves.

"if only what..." Then it dawn on him, "Did something happened between you and Margaret last night?"

Mordecai literally choked on his own spit and clear his throat. "What makes you think that?"

"I thought so, why else would you be acting that way." Rigby said, pointing at him. "So are you going to spill it or should I just ask Eileen on my break."

"Nothing happened between me and Margaret," Mordecai said, getting a little annoyed. "and that's what I mean, Nothing."

"Soooo you're upset...that nothing happened between you two?" Rigby asked.

Flashback to the night flicker in his mind. Being upset and lonely, seeing CJ again and how sweet it was to kiss her again. Entering her apartment that was dark and quiet. Pinning her down on the bed and seeing her half-lidded eyes looking up at him. She wasn't scared or concern about what they were going to do as she pulled him in for another kiss.

"Mordecai," Rigby called.

Her giggles echos in his head. She would giggle every time his hands run down her body because of his soft feathers.

"HELLO!"

"What!" The blue jay shouted back.

"Dude, you were zoning out again. So where you were then all night..."

"It's none of your business so just drop it Rigby."

"There you are, it's about time you decided to come to work."

The duo turned around to see their Boss walking over to them with the familiar shade of Red color and holding his clipboard.

"Benson, hey." Mordecai said, laughing nervously. "Come on, I wasn't that late."

"You're two hours and thirty minutes late and WHERE'S THE CART!" Benson shouted.

Mordecai smacked his forehead, "The cart."

"Yes, the Cart, We are missing one, the one you use last night for your outing" Benson said.

"I...I...misplaced it?" Mordecai said, smiling nervously.

"Oh I see, so right now it could be either broken into, be taken apart for parts or vandalize as we speak"

"Um..."

"Mostly all three, right Mordecai." Rigby said, "because you were too busy being sad from Margaret's rejections."

Mordecai punched him in the arm, "Ouch!"

"I don't care what happened, just find the cart and bring it back here in Mint Condition OR YOU'RE FIRED"

"Alright, alright, I'll be back in a bit." Mordecai said, holding his hands up in defense.

As he was walking away, glad to get away from Rigby for a few hours, he noticed his short friend following him on all fours. When Rigby finally caught up they walked together in a tension filled silence.

"So, are you going to tell me or not?" Rigby asked.

"No." Mordecai said, walking a little faster. This isn't how he wanted his day to plan out after the night he had.

"Something happened between you and Margaret, am i right?" He asked, looking a little smug.

"No..." Mordecai said, annoyed.

"Let me guess, a lot of awkward stuff happened between you two and old feelings started to come up again..."

"No..."

"And I bet you tried to make a move on her and she either rejected you coldly or things got a little heated, why else you didn't come home last night..."

"Shut up, Rigby..." Mordecai growled and mode his wings into fists.

"AAAhhh, Yeah, Mordecai gave Margaret the-"

Mordecai punched Rigby in the arm again with enough force to sent him flying a couple of feet. "I said, knock it off, Rigby"

"Ow, You don't have to punch me so hard, you Ass" Rigby said, rubbing his arm. That one is going to leave a nasty bruise.

"Well I don't know how many times i have to tell you nothing happened with Margaret last night. NOTHING! We went out, had some awkward moments and even had our future read and yes, the future would have been great for me and her, but that's not what she wanted..."

He turned around so he wouldn't let Rigby see his disappointed face and whispered..."She didn't or couldn't see me being with her in the future...and I messed up so many times with girls I couldn't see myself with her either..."

"Mordecai, I can barely understand you." Rigby said.

He couldn't understand why it hurt so much when they both agreed to be friends. Why keep chasing after someone like her when another person was always there for him.

"We just both wanted to be friends. That's why nothing happened between us." Mordecai said, dully.

"Oooh," Rigby said.

"Yeah, I couldn't stop thinking about it so I went for a walk and just..."

"I don't want to go home alone again" He remember telling CJ as he buried his face in her soft hair. Feeling her in the dark, cold room while removing clothes that were in his way from skin on skin contact. Her giggles and the tightly hold he had on her for a more deeper pleasure.

"...needed time to think." He said. He didn't want to bring up CJ either out of respect for her or he didn't want to hear Rigby asking more questions. The good vibe he got from last night was slowly going away and forming into a headache pounding behind his eyes.

"Well, that settle then, you guys are friends." Rigby said, walking pass him, "Thank God for that, I don't think I could deal with the drama again like last time"

They both made it out of the Park and onto the sidewalk and looked around. It was not even noon yet and the streets were already busy with cars and people walking around.

"So do you remember where you park the cart" Rigby asked.

"Nope, I have no clue..." Mordecai said.

Rigby groaned, "It's going to be a long day"


She stirred a bit when she heard a door closing then about fifteen minutes later she reached out to feel a warm body only to grip hold of a note and a single blue feather. She slowly sat up, using the sheet to cover herself and read the note. Short and Straight to the point she thought to herself while she twirled the feather between her finger tips.

CJ sighs, somehow she knew he was either going to leave before she woke up or regret it and make everything very awkward if he stayed too long. She really wanted to believe that he actually missed her and wanted to be around her, but deep down she knew that he just needed a get away after dealing with Margaret again. It was her own fault for letting it go so far.

She fell back on to her bed and decided that whatever happened last night was just a simple fling due to loneliness and to leave it like that. With that in her mind she closed her eyes and tired to think about what she was planning on doing today, but instead started to daydream...
