"Hey." Brody said, hugging me from behind.
"Hey." I said.
"Do you want to go hang out tonight?" He asked.
"I can't. I still feel pretty shitty from last night, and I think Chris might want to hang out tonight." I told him.
"Oh. Thats cool." He said. He sounded kind of disapointed.
"Is that okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah, fine." He said.
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." I said, and finished clocking out. I waived bye to Lukas on my way out and then drove home. When I got there Chris was asleep on the couch. He woke up when I shut the door.
"Hey." He said, and yawned.
"Long day?" I asked.
"Nah. I just slept horribly last night." He said.
"Aww. How come?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said, and sat up. I sat down next to him on the couch.
"Well, I was thinking I could hang out with you tonight." I told him.
"Really? You aren't too busy?" He asked, and I rolled my eyes.
"No! I'm never too busy for one of my best friends." I told him.
"Yeah, thats right missy!" He said, and pinched my side.
"HEY! Cut it out." I told him.
"Cut it out." He mocked. I stuck my tounge out at him, and jumped up before he could pinch me again.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I am going to change." I told him.
"Don't change! You are perfect just how you are." He said.
"SHUT UP! That was really dumb." I said, and walked back to my room. After I changed I walked back out and layed down next to Chris on the couch. We started watching old friends reruns. I fell asleep and woke up about an hour later. I didn't see Chris, but I could hear the shower running. My phone rang so I got up to answer it. It was work, but I answered anyway.
"Blair." I said.
"Hey Blair, it's Jake." Jake said.
"Hey. What's up?" I asked.
"Can you keep this between you and me for the time being?" He asked.
"Yeah, absolutely." I told him.
"We are short about 400 bucks." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Yeah. I've recounted like 5 times, and we are short 400 dollars." He said.
"What do you think is going on?" I asked him.
"I don't know, but I trust you the most. I was wondering if you had heard anything." He asked.
"No, I havn't." I told him.
"Fuck. I'm in trouble if I can't figure this out. Kevin will be furious." He said.
"Are sure someone didn't mess up a deposit?" I asked.
"No, everything else checks up. We are just short the damn money." He said.
"Is there something I can I do?" I asked him.
"Just keep an eye out. Let me know if you notice anything strange from anyone." He said.
"You think someone that works there stole it?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I don't see how else 400 dollars went up and missing." He said.
"I'll let you know if I hear anything." I told him.
"Thanks. You're a doll." He said, and hung up.
"Hey, everything okay?" Chris asked, walking out.
"That was Jake." I siad, then told him about the call.
"That doesn't sound good." He said.
"Yeah, I know." I said. "Put some clothes on! You are dripping water everywhere."
"I come out hot and sexy in a towel, and all you can say is put some clothes on?" He asked, and I giggled.
"Dork! Go put some clothes on!" I said. He started walking towards me.
"Don't you DARE!" I shouted. He just grinned, and ran toward me. I almost made it off the couch before he tackled me!
