home tonight, even if it's not very far. We can just walk across the street and you can sleep on the couch" Stacey said to Brandon. She looked over at me and smiled, "Or wherever" she said.
I felt my face go red as I realized she thought I would let him sleep with me. I didn't say a word as I grabbed my coat and headed toward the door.
Once we were back over at my apartment, I quickly said good night and headed to my room, softly closing the door behind me and quickly getting into my pajamas, letting Stacey deal with Brandon since s he had been the one to invite him to stay.
I sighed as I crawled into bed and turned my light off, feeling the alcohol started to take effect as I become drowsy. I had only been laying there for a few minutes, picturing Brandon lying on my lumpy couch when I heard my door squeak open.
I looked over and saw Brandon come into my room and close the door behind him, "Randi are you still awake?" he whispered.
"Yes, what's wrong?" I whispered back, my heart pounding in my throat.
"Look your couch is really uncomfortable, can I crash in here with you?" he asked, standing over my bed.
I sighed and slid over, patting the bed next to me. "Come on you big baby" I told him, trying to sound nonchalant, as though the idea didn't make me want to run away screaming, and rip all of his clothes off at the same time.
He slid into bed next to me and it was at this point that I realized how small my bed actually was, even though it was actually quite large.
"Good night Randi" he whispered into my ear.
"Night" I managed to choke out, shivers rolling through my body.
Chapter Six
I opened my eyes and looked over at the sun streaming through my windows, for a second wondering where I was. After a few seconds, I remembered what day it was, and what had happened the night before.
I quickly turned over and saw that the other side of th e bed was empty. I sighed in relief, not knowing how I would have handled having to wake up next to him.
My door squeaked and I looked up quickly, "Oh good, you are awake" Brandon said, walking in with two large mugs of coffee. At the sight of the steaming hot coffee all awkwardness was forgotten and I held my hands out like a toddler wanting her mommy to pick her up.
Brandon laughed, "Here you go, fresh from the pot" he said, handing the coffee to me.
I sighed as the warm mug touched my hands, not hesitating to take a quick sip. "Oh, it's so good" I couldn't help but say as the hot liquid rolled down my throat.
"Hey, if there is one thing I know I'm good at, it's coffee." He said, sitting down on the bed next to me and setting his mug on the small bedside table next to me.
I looked up and saw that he had a strained look on his face, "What's the matter?" I asked him.
"We need to talk about something. I got a call this morning from Jessica. They have now finished testing all but about three people and she let me know that I am on the short list to be chosen to go" he said, not needing to explain further.
I took another large gulp of coffee before setting it down on the table next to his; "Oh" was all I could manage to say.
"Well, say something" he said, looking at my face closely.
"I am of course happy for you" I told him.
"Now don't get too ahead of yourself though, I haven't been officially chosen yet. I just thought we needed to talk about the possibility that I could leave." He said.
I nodded, "From the mom ent we both signed up I knew there was that possibility" I told him.
He looked at me with a serious expression, "If I go, would you miss me?" he asked quietly.
I smiled, "How could I not? You have been a part of my life since we were eight."
We looked at e ach other for a few long seconds before he spoke again, "Okay, look. There are some things that I need to take care of. I need to go and see my parents for one, and that will be just super fun" he said, rolling his eyes.
I nodded, "Yeah
