*Annie's POV*
It was such a hectic day. I took a cab home, from the hospital. The only thing going on my mind right now, is food.
It's been so many days I had pizza!
On reaching home, I took a hot shower. Trust me, I needed one.
I took out a black tank top & pink shorts. As I was about to blow dry my hair, I heard my doorbell ring..
*ding dong*
'PIZZAAAA!!! Here I come!'
*ding dong* *ding dong*
"Coming"
I opened my door only to be confronted by Peter. I stood there without knowing what to say.
Peter looked exhausted..
"Why are you ignoring me? I called you f*cking 64times, Ann! I know I hurt you but I don't think I deserve this. You didn't even reply to my texts"
"You look like hell, Pete. Come in".
"That's all? I look like hell? I feel like hell, Ann!"
"Come in & we'll talk?"
Peter walked in but it felt so different. Everytime he walks in like he owns this place & today he was just standing there looking down at the floor. This is not us! We haven't fought in like yearssss... and somewhere this hit me real hard..
" I am sorry, Pete. I missed you" I said, hugging him.
"I missed you too, fatty-patty!"
"Hey!!!!! I am not fat anymore!" I said, punching him on his arm, "Ughh, that ugly name. I thought you forgot about it"
"Haha, I never can..... um, Ann?"
"Yeah?"
"You mean a lot to me. You know that right?"
"I know, Peterpan"
"Haha, you remember that name?"
"Yes, I do"
"It's been so many years"
"Mmhm"
I pecked his cheeks & asked him, "Coffee?"
Peter: "You know I'd never say no to coffee"
Annie: " Well then, you know where the kitchen is & make one for me as well"
Peter: "b***h"
I looked at his back as he walked towards the kitchen & thought, I've spent so much time with him, even a day without his bickering feels like hell. Will we stay like this forever? I cannot imagine life without my daily dose of Peterpan × eternity...
My thought was interrupted by Peter asking, "Annn! Where did you keep the coffee beans?"
"Ugh! Cominggg"
Ann: "Here"
Peter: "Thanks.... so? How was your day?"
Ann: " uhhh.. usual"
Peter: "Hmm. You have your day-off tomorrow right?"
Ann: "Yeah, why?"
Peter: "Wanna grab some lunch & go for a long drive?"
Ann: " Ahhhhhh! Peterpan, I love you!!!! You're the best!"
Peter: " haha.. still getting excited over small things."
Ann:" Shut up! Oh, right. I forgot to tell you."
Peter: "what?"
Ann: "You remember that guy from the parking lot?"
Peter: "Yeah, what about him? Did he misbehave again?"
Ann: " nah ah! He asked me out for coffee"
Peter: "What?... You said no right?"
Ann: " I didn't respond yet"
Peter: "Yet?"
Ann: "Yeah, I think I'm gonna say yes! I'll make him wait for that though"
Peter: " Dafaq?? He's a stranger, Annie"
Ann: "Yeah, but he genuinely seemed like a nice guy"
Peter: "and....?"
Ann: "Aaand.........cute!"
Peter: "So you'll just go for a coffee 'date' with a stranger cause he was cute?? Did you replace your brain with that of a gorilla?"
Ann: "Hey! Stop being mean. I know he isn't a creep atleast"
Peter: "Creeps don't come with a label, Dr.Annie Williams!"
Ann: "Okay, if he turns out to be one then I'll listen to anything you say"
Peter: *smirking* "You're gonna regret this, fatty-patty!"
