Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
I groan as I slam my hand down onto the alarmclock. I slowly open my eyes as the bright light seeping in through the window damn near blinds me. I wipe my eyes and look beside myself on the bed. Twilight's still asleep. She has a slight smile on her face. I gently stroke her mane as her ear begins to twitch. I look back and check the clock. 7:45.
I get out of bed and quietly get dressed, not wanting to wake the sleeping mare. I tiptoe down the hall and into the kitchen. "So what do I want today?" I ask myself as I open the fridge and look inside.
"You really shouldn't talk to yourself." Says Twilight, suddenly appearing behind me. I nearly jumped at her sudden appearance.
"Yeah well, old habits die hard." I reply as I move to the cupboard and look for something to eat.
"What's that mean?" Asks the curious mare
I close the cupboards and look down at Twilight. "It means it's something I've done for a long time. Ever since I was a kid."
"Ah. Okay. So what's on the agenda for today?" She asks as she walks over to the table and sits down.
"Well it's Monday which means I'll be at work all day." I say as I put some bread in the toaster and turn around. Twilight's ears flopped as she hung her head. I walk over to the mare and place an arm around her. "Hey. It's not so bad. You still have that old phone I gave you right? Just use that to keep in contact with me all day. But I'll only be able to reply when I'm on my break." This seems to cheer Twilight up at least a little.
"Okay." She says with a nod as her ears perk up once more
"You can play the playstation if you want, too. Just don't delete any of my saves or anything."
"I think I've gotten my fill of videogames for now. I might just hang around and sleep." Says Twilight.
Suddenly my toast is ready. I get up and walk over to the toaster. "Well, suit yourself. Just try not to trash the house." I say with a slight grin.
"For the last time,Jason. I'm not going to trash the house while you're gone." Says Twilight, slightly annoyed.
I turn around and my smile grows wider. "I know, Twilight. I'm just teasing you. Calm down." Twilight sighed
"aren't you supposed to be leaving for work soon?" She asks, pointing to the clock on the wall behind me. I turn around and check. 8:00.
"Yeah. I guess so." I finish off my toast and head towards the front door. "You know the rules. Don't answer the door or the phone and don't destroy the house." I say as I grab my keys and put my shoes on.
"Yeah. I got this. I'll see you later. And Jason?" I turn around and raise an eyebrow at the mare
"Yeah?"
"Please be safe. I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to you."
I chuckled slightly "Always am. See you tonight, Twilight." I turn around and leave the apartment.
Twilight sighs. She's alone once again.She walks over to the couch and sits down. Suddenly she can hear a faint ringing coming from Jason's room. She slowly gets up and walks down the hallway towards the ringing. Once she reaches his door, she stops and takes a deep breath. Mentally preparing for whatever could be making that noise. She swung the door open with her magic and quickly scanned the room. What she found was the phone Jason had given her a few days prior. She sighed of relief and took the phone in her magic.
She walks back to the couch and sits down once again. She flips the phone open. "I got a message from Jason" She says
Hey Twilight. Try not to miss me too much I'll be home by like 4
Twilight checks the time. 8:05. She sighs and starts frantically typing with her magic
I'll try. No promises though.
Twilight closes the phone and places it on the coffee table. she lays back into the couch and stares at the black tv screen for a few minutes before she gives into the temptation. She picks up the tv remote and turns the tv on. She then grabs the ps3 controller in her magic and turns that on as well.
------------------------------
I entered the apartment. All the lights were off except for the light from the TV illuminating the living room. Sitting on the couch was Twilight. She looked deep in concentration.
"Hey,Twi. What're you doing?" I ask as I take off my shoes and sit down on the couch beside her.
Twilight pauses the game and looks at me with her beautiful lavender eyes. "Hey, Jason. How was work?"
"Tiring." I say. "What about you? How was your day?"
"Boring and uneventful." Says Twilight. "But now you're back so we can hang out and stuff right?"
"Right." I say as I wrap an arm around the mare and pull her close. These last few weeks have been strange to say the least. First, Twilight shows up in my living room with no explanation or way back and now I think I'm developing feelings for her. I want to spend my life with Twi. I want to protect her. I remember a few nights ago she tried to kiss me. "I wonder..." I think to myself as I look down at the mare. Who looks back and gives me a warm smile.
"What're you thinking about?" Asks Twilight
I can feel my face begin to turn red. "You remember a few nights ago when you tried to kiss me?" I ask
Twilight says nothing. Instead she studies my face and nods.
"Well at work I was thinking about that."
"Yeah...?" Says Twilight, who's still studying my face.
I decided to just cut to the chase. I quickly leaned in and pressed my lips against Twilight's. This caught her off gaurd, but after a few seconds, she wrapped her hooves around me and returned the kiss. We held the kiss for a good 10 seconds before we seperated. A small trail of saliva bridged our mouths together.
"I love you, Jason."
"I love you too, Twilight."
