It was a Sunday afternoon in May. I had spent the whole weekend outside in the sun, enjoying the warm weather. Excitement buzzed in my house all weekend. My brothers friend Josh was home from North Carolina and he was coming over to spend the night with us before he had to go back.
It was about 5pm when I saw him walk down the hall passed my bedroom. I was sitting on my bed from just getting out of the shower and was lathering on some Victoria's Secret lotion. On his way back, he paused at my door, then just walked in and looked at me for a second before asking,
"What are you doing?"
Stating the obvious, I said,
"I just got out of the shower and putting on some lotion. What are you doing?"
"Nothing," he said. "About to go play some Halo with Chris. You gonna come hang out with us?"
"Yeah, later," I said.
"Oh, okay." He responded and walked out of my room, back down the hall.
I didn't know what to think about our little encounter. He seemed a little nervous, which he never did around me. We had always been closer than anyone thought.
I finished doing what I was doing, made myself some dinner and watched some TV. When I finished, I cleaned up the dishes then went down to my brothers room. I knocked on the door and walked in. Chris was playing video games and Josh was lounging on the bed.
"Hey," he said, smiling.
"Whatcha doing?" I asked.
"Nothing, just watching Chris play Halo. I didn't want to play, it's nice just hanging out. You can come sit with me, if you want, I mean, there is enough room."
So I went over and sat with him. Things seemed a little awkward between us, which I found weird. We weren't usually like that. Then my brother started talking about the crazy things we use to do and before I knew it, we were all laughing and playing around.
I started playing music on my little MP3 player that had an open speaker on it so we all could listen to music. Josh took it from me and started flipping through the songs. We laid on the bed together, laughing and goofing around with each other.
It was getting late. I looked at the clock, it was after midnight. Josh and I were a little hyper. I went into the kitchen and he followed. I took out a bottle of Malibu and we started doing shots. We killed the rest of the bottle in like 10 minutes.
We went back into Chris's room and laid on the bed together, feeling a little warmer than when we left. Chris was into his video game. We wanted to watch a movie and tried to get Chris to pick a movie to watch with us, but he protested every time.
"Come Chris, I wanna watch a movie," Josh said to him.
"I don't want to and I know we won't agree on anything."
Josh just looked at him and shook his head. Then looked to me and said, "Let's go watch a movie."
"Okay," I said.
A few minutes later, we were in my room. Josh put in a movie while I went in my closet and changed into a pair of shorts and t-shirt. When I opened my closet door, he was standing there, just staring at me. He too was in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He just looked at me then climbed into my bed.
I walked around my bed, closed the door and turned off the light. I climbed into bed next to him. We lied on our stomachs at the end of the bed with pillows.
We watched the movie in silence, he really seemed into it, considering he choose Twilight. He said he heard people talking about it but never got the chance to see it.
As the movie went on, he seemed to move closer and closer to me. Then at some point, he fell asleep, his head practically on my breast. I then heard someone walk by my bedroom door. I stopped the movie and turned everything off. I laid there not really knowing what to do, but I could feel myself getting sleepy.
So I turned over onto my right side facing him and before I knew it, I passed out too.
