Mina’s apartment: The morning after
I woke up, a little confused.
Then last night hit me in waves.
The date.
The sketches.
I don’t remember falling asleep.
I looked down at Mina who was starting to stir.
She was comfortably wrapped around my torso.
I gently pried myself from her grip, placing a pillow where I was.
She settled back down.
I headed towards the bathroom to wash up a little.
Okay… I stayed over.
We didnt–
We just fell asleep.
It was just a friendly date
Exhaustion from work caught up.
I splashed some water on my face and headed back to the living room, slowing by the kitchen.
“Well… I’m already here, might as well make us something.”
I started prepping breakfast for us, nothing too crazy, just simple.
Rolled egg, sweeter for her.
Some rice.
Sliced fruit.
“Oh, let's make some pancakes.” I whispered to myself.
I just started pouring coffee for me and tea for her when I heard her.
She shuffled over from the couch still in my old hoodie, rubbing her eyes.
“You stayed…”
“You’re making breakfast.”
“You said I could.”
She smiled and sat down at the table.
I came over and put her plate down.
Then her tea.
“You remember everything…” she said softly
“...not everything.” I said with no confidence.
Y/N’s apartment: mid morning.
I unlocked the door and stood at the entrance for a beat trying to gather my thoughts.
“Shoes.”
Emi’s voice carried from the kitchen.
Shit.
“Right.”
I looked down, kicked them off and headed to the kitchen.
Emi was already there, coffee and phone in hand and a mug on the counter for me.
“You’re home late.” She said, not looking up from her phone.
“I made breakfast.” I said, grabbing the extra mug.
“Thats not what I mean.”
“Look, I was tired and just… fell asleep.”
I can tell she didn’t believe a word I was saying. Fair.
“Why do you do that?”
“Do what?”
“Lie by omission.”
“I didn’t lie.”
