It had been a while since I visited Kirk. Between the gas prices and my disgust for the very fiber of his being I just couldn't bring myself to drive 45 minutes to his house, my usual escape from my parents. I really wanted to get my copy of Eternal Darkness back from him which was the only reason why I would subject myself to any one-on-one interaction with the meat bag. I even had planned to go over a friends house as soon as he got home from work in order to escape my once paradise. So there I was, my heart pumping faster as my cars pistons pumped faster down the road. My nerves would be the death of me someday.
As soon as my car was parked outside and I walked to the door Kirk and his dog greeted me with a hearty hello. We immediately retreated to his bedroom as we had done a million times before. Upon opening the door I noticed that it didn't share the nutty smell of coffee, it was distinctly... Kirk's body oder. All over the place. As I scanned the area I noticed that he hadn't unpacked since he came back from school two months ago. It also seemed as if he hadn't done laundry in two months. After looking it over I jumped on his water bed followed by his dog and he reclined in his computer chair. We sat there for a while not saying anything until I pulled my copy of Rogue Galaxy out for him to borrow. He found my copy of Eternal Darkness while rambling on about a game called The World Ends With You. At about this point I noticed that Kirk had been loading a patch for WoW so I booted my lap top up, started to download the patch, and propped open a book (which is a great distraction for any time when you don't want to talk to someone). Kirk muttered a few things to me but I wasn't listening.
Around the time I planned on leaving Kirk and I had started talking and playing WoW when his mother called saying she needed to be picked up from the bus stop in an hour. I really wanted to see her again so I decided to hang out with him for a bit longer.
During our car ride to the bus stop we didn't say much, just listened to Muse and chilled with the windows down. I couldn't stop myself from looking at me in the mirror, god I'm attractive. On the way back however I was able to have a conversation with Kirk's mother. As long as I've known her I've never been able to hold a long conversation with her. She offered advise on scholarships when I go to apply for them in a few months. I felt like I was on top of the world.
When we returned Kirk and I hung out for a while until I noticed that he was either A. bored of B. tired. So I opted to pack up and leave him alone. The drive home was long but soothing. The perfect end to a little less than average day.
At home I unpacked my lap top and noticed that I had left the adapter for my mouse at his house. No worries because our friend was online so I asked him to talk to Kirk when he got on again and I have a back up, less comfortable mouse. Our friend said that Kirk had been informed which made me scratch my head and wonder why he was acting tired. I've recently come to the conclusion that he probably had enough of me for the day and didn't feel like kicking me out. Oh well, I'll have to remember to kick his ass later.
