Maybe change isn't bad - Payton Moormeier

twenty-six

I wake up the next morning to Esther snoring. I get out of bed and get dressed.

"Wake up we're getting breakfast" I say

She gets out of bed and puts her clothes from yesterday on and we go to chick fil a and get breakfast. We go though the drive thru then I go to Payton's house. I knock and Joanne lets me in.

"Hi Joanne, is Payton up" I ask as she lets me in

"I don't think so, he's in his room" she says "Hi Esther" she says looking at Esther and she give Joanne a nod.

I go up to his room with Esther following. I lightly knock on his door before going into his room, when I walk him I see him peacefully asleep. I put the food down.

"Wake up bitch" I hear Esther say before I get a chance to wake him up

"Fuck off" he says rolling over

"I brought you food" I say walking over to his bed

"Later, sleep now" he says making grabby hands, I sit on his bed and he pulls me in for cuddles

"Its too early for this" Esther says

"Shut up it's almost afternoon" I say

Payton slowly wakes up and I give him his food. Esther won't shut up so I take her home so she can get changed or whatever. I then go back to Payton's and by now he's showered and dressed. I go back to his room where he is.

"So why are you here" he asks

"Just wanted to see you, I'm going back tomorrow. I though you would want to stay" I say

"Oh, I'll come back with you. Anyway what do you want to do" he asks

"I don't know and don't really care" I say "Wait tomorrow the second right" I ask

"Yeah why" he asks

"Oh usually every year on the second I would spend the day playing video games with Kai because he was the only boy and leading up to Christmas and new years we did a lot of girl things" I say "It doesn't matter I would rather go back"

"We can do that if you want" he say

"Sure but don't let me win" I say

"Oh I won't" he says

He sets the game up and we start playing. He wins and I act salty because I'm a sore loser. We play a few times and he wins every time. I put the controller down, get up and go sit on his bed with my arms crossed. 

"The game is rigged or something" I say

"No you just suck" he says

"Fuck you" I say

"C'mon dont be like that" he says and I ignore him "I didn't mean it, your just not the best at this game" I continue to ignore him "We can play something else, or watch After" he says

"Ok" I say suddenly acting like nothing happened

"Ok, you put the movie on and I'll go get some drinks and stuff" he says handing me the remote and leaving.

I turn Netflix on and put the movie on, I paus it and wait for Payton to come back. He comes back with my favourite drink and a few snacks. Payton sits next to me on the bed and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Aww baby dont cry" he says wrapping his arms around me

"I'm not crying" I say kinda defensively "I guess its sad" I say pulling away from the hug "How are you not crying"
