CLING.

There was a sudden tap on my shoulder.

Words blurred in my drowsy brain.

This time a shake and I woke up.

I slowly lifted my head from the table and straightened my back.

Wiped the drool off of my chin and looked up.

I saw the most stunning pair of green eyes with a slight golden reflection.

"I, um, hi.." words tumbled out of my mouth.

"I have never seen someone sleep so pitifully." Lou said looking down on me.

My eyes were still staring at hers. She was sitting on a table right in front of mine and reading a small red book. It was like all her senses and concentration was attached to every single word. Her eyebrows furrowed and her green glistening eyes stared at each page with such passion.

She liked to read.

"Mate, it's eight in the morning and I need to get business started." Lou said.
