Episode 4
503 Words
Weekends are relaxing and fun. I get to take a break from work for a while and spend it at home with my babies. They’re still both asleep, cuddling with each other on the bed.
No, I did not set them like that. How dare you insinuate that? They just covered up space I left and ended up cuddling. My doorbell rings and I go check. It’s my best friend, Petra. She’s holding a carton of wine with her wallet and keys on the top.
“Morning May. I brought wine”
“Hi, Petra. It’s like 8 O'clock. Why are you here or even up this early?”
“I came to see you. Can I not visit my best friend?”
“You sound as suspicious as the time I caught you in that orgy. Cut the crap. Which one do you need this time?”
“Max! I have a level I need to clear in this new game for a special event. Is he awake yet?”
“No, he’s asleep. They’re both still sleeping. I was making breakfast, wanna join me?”
“Sure. I’m a bit drunk though”
“And you drove here?”
“Hey, you only live once” she shrugged. I wonder why she’s still alive.
The two finally trudge downstairs reluctantly by 12 pm. They’re wearing matching light blue hoodies with black pants. Their house slippers are the white fluffy bunny types I bought recently. Kevin yawns and runs his hands through his short wavy brown hair. Max tugs on it from behind and kicks him down the rest of the stairs. His black hair is tousled as usual.
They wave at me and pause when they see Petra. She’s grinning and they can smell wine.
“Hey Petra” they greet hesitantly. She raises her wine glass at them.
“Breakfast in the kitchen. Maxxie-pie, Petra needs you”
“Can I say no?”
“I can say No”
He groans and enters the kitchen. After eating, he helps Petra clear the level but not without grumbling. Kevin on the other hand goes back up to get changed. He’s dressed up well but where is he going, we all wonder?
“I gotta go, babe. My mum called, she’s in town”
“Are you coming back home today?”
“Yeah. I’ll take her to a hotel or my sister’s house”
“Okay. have fun” I kiss his lips. We look at Max and he sends a middle finger. Figures. I look at Kevin and he groans. He shakes his head but one smile is all he takes for him to buckle. He walks up to Max and places a kiss on his crown. Petra and I squeal in delight as Max chases Kevin out to the driveway.
