Chapter 28: Peace.

Opening the entrance door to my apartment, all I can think of was my bed, how I'm going to fall on it, how I am going to bounce up as my body meets the soft surface of my rest place, I wonder how the comfort will be on my back, my head resting on the pillow where my mind could get to relax from the stress of the day.
My body feels too strong to carry, having stressed myself out all day, the coffee I did have on the restaurant was quite the energy booster that got me here successfully, and right now, it has almost worn out, my body having already consumed all the energy it brought, my eyes heavy and the weather outside almost dark because it's already half past seven in the evening.
My phone started vibrating in my pocket, I forgot it was still there, my shoes were still left on, really lazy to pull them out. I can possibly make myself another coffee to energize my body, but is it worth it?, to get myself to stay wide awake for more hours before going to sleep, no, I might be exhausted, but I feel like I want it that way, for my body to just shut down on its own automatically.
Pulling out the phone from my pocket to see who was calling, with heavy eyes, I can make out the name on the screen, Baby. Yes, that's the reason I have been scared, seeing the way I happened to fall in love with this young lady, if the same thing with Jessica happen again, it will be a train wreck for me.
“ Hey.....”
( “ Hello Jer.... I'm standing in front of your door, can you come over and unlock the door please?....”)
Fuck!..... I looked up the ceiling, tried to pull my head so I can get to look at my body condition, whether I can find a way to make it to that door, fuck no.... There's no way I am making it there, “ Okay..... Give me a minute.” 
I disconnected the call, eyes staring at the ceiling as my hand drops back down to the bed, really heavy for me to carry up again, shit, I was the one who Fucking invited her to show up tonight, here she was, now I can't find the strength to reach the Fucking door.
With an idea coming to mind, I decided to use it. I rolled my body on the bed, knowing that this is a great solution, I rolled till I fell off from the side of the bed, with so little adrenaline rushing through my body because of the risky fall, I found myself standing up again on both feets, shoes on.
I looked back at the bed, was tempted to fall back onto the bed, but I resisted the hunger and drive as I got myself walking to the door, still putting on my outfit just the way they was when I came in.
“ Hello Babe....”
“ Hi Jer....”
We kissed, as I gave her some space to allow her in, that's when I saw Brian behind her, like he was hiding behind so I couldn't see him. I looked at Daisy, happiness and shock written across my face, she said she never wanted Brian to find out about us yet, she doesn't want to get him involved with me that way because she doesn't know how things was going to turn out between us, but now, now she had brought Brian here, meaning that she's ready to risk it, letting Brian know that we're not actually friends but dating, but looking at Brian's face who doesn't look fazed by the kiss right now, I believe he already figured it out a while back but never said a word about it.
“ Hey little man, wasn't expecting to see you here, nice to have you in my home, you're welcome....”
I offered him to come in, now forgetting that minutes ago, I couldn't even move a muscle, but now, I feel like I've got myself a brief explaining to do, you know, breaking the bro code..... LoL.
It's quite late, so I guess they would be spending the night here, like Daisy told me, she said she has got a free night, so spending it together with me wouldn't affect anything, except that I can't cheat the exhaustion that has engulfed me.
 “ Seems like you overworked yourself today, it's all there in your eyes, I believe you need quite a lot of sleep....”
Daisy confirmed, eyes staring into mine. I already forgot that I made plans for tonight, I guess I owe her an apology that I wouldn't be sticking around with them, I really need to sleep in, I kissed her, carrying myself back to the room I had came out from to go open the door, I tried not to look too stressed as I walked, trying to maintain my full posture while I step into the room, closing the door behind, Fuck....
All I can remember about last night was me falling into the bed for the second time after letting Daisy and Brian in, Daisy already knew things about my house, so I believe they could possibly take care of themselves while I had my beauty sleep.
Right now, I wasn't really energetic like the other morning, the stress feeling like they're still there, but this time, it's my responsibility not to allow it win, during the day, I will be the one winning, not stress. On stepping outside my room, I saw a piece of paper on the center of the table, probably left behind by Daisy for me to read after I am awake.
The content told me that I can find breakfast on the fridge, already prepared something for me, it also says at the end that Brian was left behind in the room, that I am to look after my friend until her return, I guess I got myself company.
