CHAPTER NINETEEN
Connie:
“What is taking so long?” I ask aloud, to an empty room.
Hunter told me half an hour, and that was an hour and fifteen minutes ago. I’m on edge, wanting to see Lottie to see with my own eyes that she is okay. I am so thankful she drives a beast of a car for someone so tiny, even without being told any details on the collision, I know that car probably stopped her from being hurt.
My head is thrown back on the sofa, my eyes are closed and legs spread across the seat. I am bored senseless, the apartment only took twenty to tidy up. Well, you can’t really tidy up a tidy apartment, we sort of fluffed pillows, and moved things an inch or two. Even her room was tidy, which was surprising, all of which made me believe she has a cleaner. I know for a fact Lottie wouldn’t keep the place this spotless, they would be an abandoned wine glass on the side, or a pair of shoes in the doorway. But nope, not one thing was out of place.
Which takes me back to, god I am so bored I could scream.
A hand on my shoulder scares the life out of me and forces a squeal to escape my lips. I snap my eyes open and look in to Hunter’s amused ones. He did that on purpose, the bastard.“You scared the crap out of me. What are you playing at? You Muppet.” I scold him, feeling my heart bounce around in my chest.
“Muppet?” His raised eye brow only serves to piss me off further.
“Yes, Muppet.”
“And what exactly does a Muppet have to do with me?” Does he really not get this?
“It’s what you are for scaring me! You Evil prat!” God, I really am in such a bitchy mood tonight. This boredom has really taken its toll on me.
“Okay, so just to clarify, I am not just a Muppet, I am also an evil prat now too?” The corner of his mouth twitches, and I can see the laughter dancing around in his eyes.“Any other names you wish to call me while I stand here?”
Hmm, I can think of plenty, but I am not going to give him the satisfaction of responding, the sarcasm was ringing clear enough in his last comment.“Humph.” I say instead, and turn my head back to resting on the sofa and close my eyes again.
A yawn breaks free from my mouth, and fatigue takes over again. I am getting so sick and tired of being, well… tired. It hits at the most ridiculous and inopportune times.
The sofa moves beside me, and my legs are lifted and placed on to a lap. I crack one eye open a touch, catching Hunter staring at me with a small smile on his lips.“You are so beautiful.” The words are a whisper, so low I’m not sure I was meant to hear them. I don’t react either way, I reclose my eyes and await the sound of my friend’s front door.
