Chapter 108

"Vince. Vince." I think it's Howard. I turn over. "Vince. Vince. You need to get up now." It's definitely Howard. "Vince, if you don't get up, I'll go and get Naboo." That makes me sit up.

"I'm getting up." I mumble, still feeling as though I'm half asleep.

"Good. You're due at work in an hour, so you need to actually leave the bed."

"Alright, alright." I climb out of bed and stand up, rubbing my eyes.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"Not bad. Naboo's standing outside the door."

"Why?"

"He's convinced that if you get up, something terrible will happen."

"I'm not!" Naboo's voice calls. "I'm just making sure you're okay."

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong, and nothing bad is going to happen. Alright?"

"Alright. You should have breakfast before you go to work." He says, sticking his head around the door.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes. I'll see you in the kitchen in half an hour." With that, his head disappears and I hear him walking away.

"See you in half an hour, then." Howard says, then leaves the room.

"Yeah, see you in half an hour." I call after him. With a yawn, I pull some clothes from the wardrobe and make my way to the bathroom.
