About a couple weeks had passed since the first time me and Ange talked on Skype, and now we were on almost every day. Today it seemed like she had a pleasant surprise.

Ange: hey guess what!

Al: really? that's great!

i'll have to see if i can, i might have a meeting

Ange: no you have to go

Al: we'll see!

Huh. I could feel a smile coming up on my cheeks. That, and I also felt sore. I had been sitting in the same position practically all day, only getting up to get snacks or whatever. Stretching my arms, I got up to go to kitchen again; time for some delicious, maybe not-so-nutritious snacks. I opened the fridge to find it… Completely empty?

Okay, maybe not completely empty, but the only things in there were celery and a couple bottles of water. I checked the pantry, but that was empty too.

"You've gotta be shitting me."

I guess it was time to go grocery shopping. I grabbed a sweater and walked out the door.

After a couple hours, I was back to the warmth of my house. Fuck February. On the way home, I nearly slipped on ice. Twice.

Oh well, at least I could enjoy some hot chocolate now that I was home. But before I could do all that I checked in with Ange.

Ange: alfreeeeeed where are youu

it's been like 2 hours

anyway let's video chat when you get back

Al: ok ok i'm back

sorry i had to go grocery shopping

and k

"Hey!" Her voice sounded throughout the room. "You idiot, you left me waiting for a while."

"Hey, I said I was sorry!" I pouted. "Anyway, I think I'm able to see you and Matt this weekend, so be happy. I got a call from my boss saying that the meeting was moved to next week."

"Really?! I mean, yay!" She chirped and clapped her hands together. "I'll be there at around ten o'clock in the morning. Don't leave me waiting this time."

"Okay, your highness." I rolled my eyes. "Ten o'clock it is."

"Good. I'm going to start packing, so see you then." She winked and hung up on the video chat.

Al: don't forget your sweaters

canada's cold as shit

The weekend was finally here! That, and I was finally at Matt's place after having my flight delayed by an hour. At least I was still here before Ange was; in fact, I beat her by at least half an hour.

"Come on, let's go pick her up." I followed Matt to a couple gates over, where we found Angelique sitting on her luggage.

"I didn't keep you waiting, did I?" I teased.

"Fine, fine, you win this time. Can we eat? I haven't had anything all day."

When we got to Matt's house a little later, Ange practically inhaled everything he had to eat.

"I think someone's a little hungry." Matt sighed and put dishes in the sink.

After all that, we played a bit of Halo, with ended up with Ange kicking my ass.

"I spend a lot of time here, you know." She bragged and stuck up her nose. Jeez.

I glanced over at Matt, who just shrugged.

"I'm tired, so I'm gonna go take a little nap." She yawned and went to the spare room where she slept.

"You guys have been talking to each other a lot since the meeting." Matt leaned back and jkjkj

"Well, yeah, seeing as you're always with Katyushka, I figured I should have someone else to talk to for a change."

"Am I really away that much?" He smirked and returned to his game.

"Whatever." I sighed and got up to get a snack from his fridge. "Anyway, she's really fun to hang out with. We talk shit about Arthur a lot."

"Cute."

"What?"

"Nothing." I could hear him chuckling.
