LET ME(MxM)

chapter 11

Rick's POV

I needed some rest. I was tired from the day and there is nothing more exciting than sleeping knowing that the next day is a weekend. I was so excited about sleep for no reason at all but when I opened the door to my room, I was shocked. There were all these fancy decorations... They were not much but they looked nice. Balloons on the floor. I was still wondering what was going on only to be surprised by a hug from ...Shanzy? What are these guys doing here? Arnold of course... That maff. I looked around and my gaze caught him standing in front of me. I narrowed my eyes at him with feelings of anger and joy at the same time

"Surprise?" He said looking scared of what I was going to say next.

"I'll deal with you later" I replied and walked forward to go eat something. I was actually glad he came...I was hungry too.

"You guys have been hanging all this time?" Aston asked

"Yah" we both replied simultaneously

"Guys let's just have fun " Shanzy said while grabbing a bottle of bear and handing it to me. The rest had each a bottle but Arnold of course ...he was taking soda. I know it sounds stupid but dude doesn't drink. Which is kinda hot actually.

"Cheers ...happy birthday Roderick" Shanzy continues and other also wished me a happy one. Arnold was the last one to talk "happy birthday Rick" our bottles clicked

"Since when is Roderick ...Rick" Pala trying to cook trouble.

"Hmmm dudes have been hanging out without us...I'm pretty sure Arnold even spends nights here just like at uni" Shanzy said while laughing. We both went quiet knowing the situation at hand between Arnold and I . Aston just kept looking at us with an unsure look like he knew we were hiding something. He is naturally a quiet man though ...maybe I'm reading him all wrong.

We talked and ate a lot and the food was not yet even close to getting done. Arnold must have really put his all into this but it won't change the fact that he did not come back since Monday. I am still mad at him.

By now it was eleven and Pala seemed like he was leaving or wanted to leave. He was looking for his phone I guess to check the time.
"Hey what's the time?
He asked while he fumbled with the balloons on the floor and the scattered disposables on the couch. He finally got it
" shit...guys I have to go I'll see you soon"

"By soon you mean next year or worse?" I asked

"No idiot...I'm still around town ...if you need me...OK I gotta go"

At that he made his way to the door. He was tipsy because he was trying to gain his balance about every after two steps.

"Should I call someone to drive you?" Arnold spoke up concerned

"No I'm good...thanks man" he replied and shut the door behind him.

Shanzy was also preparing to leave though he did not know were he had thrown his coat.

"Roderick when you find my court give me a call ...that shit coasted me a fortune" he said.
"But you know what let me hang around for some more minutes and then I'll leave"

Aston was quiet watching TV with a bowl of crisps on his lap and a bottle of Jonny walker in his left hand. He loved drinking that's the one thing I know about him though the important thing to think about right now is whether he's staying or not because he looked like wasn't going any were any time soon.

I stood up from the ground because that's were I was seated and I made my way to the kitchen. There was still food everywhere but I noticed one thing no one had touched. The lasagna...wait why...as I was still questioning myself I heard a deep voice
