Chapter 21
Tim groans as he opens his eyes slowly. It takes him a few minutes to realize where he was at. He's laying on the couch with a pillow under his head and a blanket laid on him. He raises his head and looks around.
He could hear Kirstie's angelic voice coming from the kitchen as she sings softly to herself.
He drops his head back down onto the pillow as he tries to remember what happened but it was all a blur.
"Oh, Hey. You finally decide to wake up?" Kirstie smiles as she sits down on the coffee table, next to the couch.
"How long have I been asleep?" Tim asks in a raspy voice.
"A couple of hours. Those pills really do a number on you." Kirstie giggles as she brushes back his hair.
"Is that an apron you're wearing?" Tim asks giving her a puzzled look.
"Yeah, I've been cleaning your messy apartment." She smiles.
"Where the hell did you find an apron?" Tim asks as he raises up on his elbow.
"In a drawer in the kitchen, tucked back behind the dish towels." She smirks.
Tim sits up on the couch and looks around the living room. No clothes on the floor, no dust on any of the furniture and you could actually see out of the windows.
"What's that smell?" He asks while he sniffs the air.
She huffs as she reaches and takes his face in her hands. She leans in just a few inches from his face.
"It's called, clean. Tim." She laughs as she gives him a quick kiss on the lips.
"It looks nice in here." Tim smiles as he takes her by the hand. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. When was the last time you mopped the kitchen floor?" She asks with raised brows.
Tim chuckles and bows his head. His cheeks turning red from embarrassment.
"I don't remember." He laughs, shaking his head.
"Oh. I have something for you to read." She says as she reaches for her phone. She pulls up the conversation that she had with Mitch and handed Tim her phone.
"Are you serious?" Tim asks as he read the text messages.
"Mhmm." Kirstie answers as she moves from the coffee table to the couch beside Tim.
"I don't understand him. Why does he hate the people who have to work for a living?" Tim asks as he continues to read.
"That's the way he was raised, Baby. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was taught that he was better than everyone else." She says, laying her head on his shoulder.
"I mean. I'm sure having money is nice but not if it's gonna make you act like a complete dick." Tim says as he hands her back her phone. "I'm happy that you told him about us."
"He pissed me off. Turning his back on one of his best friends and then running you and Adam down for no reason. There is just no excuse." She says as she wraps her arms around his arm.
"I was kinda afraid that you would try to keep us a secret. Maybe that you was....... never mind." Tim says as he shakes his head.
"Ashamed of you?" She asks.
"Yea, maybe. I know that Avi kept their relationship a secret and that sort of hurt Adam's feelings." Tim tells her. "He loves Avi so much and wanted to show his gorgeous boyfriend off, but Avi was afraid of what you and Mitch would say."
"I'm definitely not ashamed of you. I want everyone to know what a good-looking boyfriend I have." Kirstie smiles as Tim chuckles and shakes his head. "I'm serious."
"Whatever you say, Sweet Cheeks." Tim laughs as he lays his head over on her shoulder.
"You hungry?" She asks as she kisses him on the forehead.
"I'm starved." Tim says as he stares blankly at the television.
"I'll make you a sandwich and for supper, how about some spaghetti?" She giggles as she has to push him off her shoulder.
"Spaghetti? I haven't had spaghetti in years." He chuckles and then winces as he props his injured foot on the coffee table.
"Well then, you're in for a treat." She pats him on the leg as she gets up from the couch.
"Garlic bread too?" He asks, looking up with innocent child-like eyes.
"Of course, we can have garlic bread, my little Country Bumpkin." She giggles, kissing him on the nose. "Besides, what's spaghetti without garlic bread."
Kirstie goes into the kitchen to fix them both a sandwich as Tim surfs the channels for something to watch.
She walks back into the living room with a tray of sandwiches, chips, and drinks.
"Seinfield? Really?" She giggles as she sits down beside him.
"Hey, I happen to like 'Seinfield', Kramer is my hero." Tim smirks. "So what's your favorite show?"
"Big Bang Theory." She answers as she bites down on a chip.
"Seriously?" Tim chuckles.
"Mhmm, Sheldon is my hero." She says with a smile. "Hey, do you want to invite Adam and Avi over for supper tonight?"
"Sure, if you want to." Tim says as he takes a drink of his coke. "That is if they don't already have plans when Adam gets off work."
"I've never known Avi to turn down my spaghetti." Kirstie laughs.
"And I've never known Adam to turn down free food." Tim smirks.
"This feels nice." Kirstie says her face gets serious.
"What does?" Tim asks as he sets his empty plate down.
"Us. Talking about t.v. shows, inviting friends over to eat." She smiles.
"It does feel nice. It feels......natural." Tim smiles at her.
"Well, I like it." She giggles.
"Me too." Tim says as he leans in and gives her a soft, tender kiss.
