The Cousin Came Back, Zeke and Andrew.
We were all hanging out, playing pool, and playing music. We got tired and thought we should just chill and relax in the room.
All of us headed to the room. The big queen bed was there, Neil and Ben slept together on that huge queen bed. When the cousins are over, everyone sleeps there and next to that bed, there's another single bed. So now, it fits everyone [except me]. Everyone was in bed chilling and relaxing. I sat on the corner of the bed next to the wall. He decided to sit next to me. While the boys were scattered around on the bed.
I'm not saying that he wanted to sit next to me, but outside all the seats he decided to sit next to me. Oh, that should tell me something! Okay! Let's stop with this kind of thinking.
Talking, Talking, Talking, Talking, Talking, Talking, Talking!
It is getting late, and I am starting to feel sleepy. I am getting ready to leave and everyone else looks at me as I pack myself out of the door, asking where I am going.
I replied, "I am going to shower! You guys should start taking turns showering!"
They nodded their heads in agreement.
I headed back to my room on the corner next to my parents and across from my older sister's room. I could hear them running to the bathroom to see who showers first. I chuckle with a smile, knowing he will just let whoever goes first and be last.
I got done and went back to their room to see what they were up to. Neil, Charles, and Andrew finished their shower. Right now, Zeke is taking a shower. Milo was sitting in the corner on my spot, listening to his music. The white earbuds tangle around his neck to his ears. As the lamp dims, lights shine on his eyes as he looks through his phone.
I asked him," What are you doing on your phone?" He looked at me as if he couldn't hear me and said, "Huh?"
I said it again, and he replied, "Oh, I'm reading manga right now. As I wait for Zeke to be done taking a shower."
I nodded my head and listened to his upcoming deep voice. His voice lingers in my ear, repeating his words in my head, over and over.
Zeke got done taking a shower, and he headed into the bathroom. I was hanging out with the boys, talking about random stuff.
I'm waiting for him to be done, so I can tell him good night and everyone else.
He got done within ten minutes.
I saw him as he opened the curtains that blocked the whole side to protect another layer of the room to give the room more privacy. Since it is next to the kitchen and the garage. I see his wet hair. His wet eyes and body dripped down with tears. His clothes slowly sink into his body as he walks closer to me. His face and neck are the wettest, steamy hot air. I could feel it miles away even though we were so close to each other. He sat next to me again.
I then tell everyone, "Hey, it is getting late. I am going to sleep, so go to sleep soon. Good night!"
Everyone responds, "Good Night, Kiara!"
I could feel his eyes staring at me out of the curtains and seeing my shadow outside the door and I sighed. I left slowly... that night.
