บท 67: Newly Minted

I entered my house with a grin on my face. This meant that Matt was in here somewhere.

I walked to the living room to see him watching TV with an opened pizza box beside him, half the slices gone.

"Welcome." He said, taking a drink of his soda. "I made myself at home." He grinned.

I flipped onto the chair beside him. "Man, I'm so fucking tired."

"Here." He pushed an unopened pizza box at me. "I got you one."

"Dude, marry me."

"Fuck you."

We both laughed. I opened the box to take a slice. It was cold but it was just as delicious.

He passed me my own bottle of soda and I drank, sighing in satisfaction.

"How was work?"

"Satisfying." I answered.

He turned to look at me. "Satisfying? I guess that's what it means to be the boss." He grinned.

"I guess." I laughed. "How were your classes?"

"Hell." He said. "I've got two project deadlines coming up soon."

"And you're here watching TV."
