MidnightI THREW MY KEYS ON THE SMALL table in our hallway and dropped my laptop bag on the floor. It had been a long day. Accepting to work more in my final year at Poly had been a dumb idea. But I liked what I did, and I certainly learned a lot more than in school.
I took my jacket and shoes off, and went into the living room. Edi lifted his head from the pillows and smiled at me. I went to sit at the end of the couch, taking as little space as I could.
Edi pushed most of the pillows on the floor and only kept one. He slid it into my lap, then rested his head over it.
“How are you feeling?” I ran my fingers through his messy hair. It was a little greasy, but I didn’t care.
“Like I want to die,” he mumbled.
I chuckled and pulled on his hair. “Don’t say stupid s**t. It’s just a cold.”
