As I awoke, seemingly by nothing, I rub my eyes, faintly listening to the background noise of the television, which was clearly on the news.
I sit up on the couch, pushing my hair out of my face, stretching my arms upwards. I quickly spot Ghost, on the phone again. But, by the time I got up he was ending the call. He shoved his phone into his pocket before meeting eyes with me.
"Hear anything from your friend?" He questions, watching as I attempted to fix my hair.
"No.." I sigh, adjusting myself in my seat.
"Is this the first time she'd done something like this?" He spoke in his husk voice.
"No... this is probably the 3rd or 4th time."
"And you're still friends with her?" He exits the kitchen, walking towards me. I glance up at him not knowing how to reply.
He reaches over me, placing a mug of coffee on the table in front of me.
"Thank you." I give him a faint smile, even though he avoided my eye contact.
"How long did you plan on staying here... In the UK that is?" He corrects himself, attempting to not offend me with his previous question.
"Me and her were supposed to stay for 2 weeks, but I can't leave without her."
He pauses, humming in response and thought.
"You can stay here as long as you want." He assures me, digging in his pockets for his phone.
His eyes scanned across his phone, evidently reading.
"I have to go handle something... Tonight me and a friend and his wife are going to a bar... you wanna come...?" He explains "You know, to get your mind off everything."
"Yeah sure... I need new clothes though."
He begins to head towards the front door.
"I left money on the counter, find a place and treat yourself." He exclaims before exiting the house, slamming the door behind him.
