When I Come Around, chapter 2
Kellie emerged from her bedroom, dressed in her baggy pajama pants and oversized Green Day t-shirt.
"Tre?" she called, walking up the stairs from the basement.
"I'm in here!" he called from the living room. Kellie found him standing in front of the t. V, popping an old tape into the DVD/VCR player. Popcorn and chips were sitting on the couch, and beer and soda on the table. "Hey!" he said excitedly when she walked in. "Check it out!" he pointed to the food on the table.
"You made popcorn?" she observed, confused at what she was supposed to be excited about. "Congratulations?"
"As a matter of fact, YES, I did make the popcorn! But you're missing the point! We're going to have an all night movie marathon! I thought it might be a fun roommate initiation ceremony."
Kellie laughed. "A movie marathon?"
"Yeah. With all the classics. We've got the Harry Potter movies, Jurassic Park, some weird porno shit from the 80's, and some fantastic home videos made by me!"
"But wait, you said we're watching weird porno AND your home movies. Aren't those the same thing?" she teased.
"Hey! I would HARDLY describe my home videos as porno! Maybe as mild sexual content. But not porno!"
"What do you consider mild?"
"Masturbation, nakedness. That's mild."
"Oh, yeah. Nakedness sure isn't pornographic!" she laughed and sat down on the couch, taking a handful of popcorn.
An old home video started playing on the tv. Tre turned off the lights and sat down next to Kellie on the couch.
"Okay, so this video is me and Billie and Mike practicing in Billie's basement. This was back in like, the early 90s... And any second now, Billie gets naked... THERE! There it is! Oh man, this is good shit right here. Ahhhh, the good old days!" Kellie started laughing hysterically at Tre's lame video.
"How can you laugh at this? This is ART!" Tre joked.
"Are we seriously gonna watch this stuff all night?"
"Don't worry. The videos will seem better as it gets later. You'll be so tired that this will seem like quality film making!"
By 3 in the morning, their all night movie marathon was starting to wind down. Kellie closed her eyes and leaned back on the couch. Tre yawned and looked at her. He turned down the volume on the tv so he wouldn't disturb her too much. Kellie scooted closer to Tre and leaned her head on his shoulder. Tre smiled and switched off the tv. The sleepy girl nuzzled against his neck as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Tre leaned his head on hers and closed his eyes, rubbing her back gently.
The sun just starting to rise when Kellie opened her eyes. She was laying next to Tre on the couch, her head against his chest and his arms wrapped around her. It took her a moment to remember what she was doing on the couch with him. But once she recalled their movie marathon the night before, she wiggled closer to him and snuggled with the sleeping drummer.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm" Tre groaned groggily, his eyes still closed. Kellie felt him pull her closer. Tre opened his eyes slowly and blinked when he saw Kellie beside him. He jerked away from her and sat up suddenly, slightly embarrassed and confused.
"Whoa," he muttered. He ran his fingers through his hair. Kellie sat up and scooted to the edge of the couch, blushing slightly. "What the... Did we-did we fall asleep here last night?"
Kellie nodded, rubbing her eyes. "Yeah, I guess so."
"Ah. Well. I guess we didn't make it through our all night movie marathon." He stood up and gave a shy smile. "But don't worry, I'll show you the rest of those home videos some other time. I know how much you loved them."
"Totally," she said, standing up. "I'm gonna go take a shower, okay? I smell like popcorn."
So she wandered off to the bathroom, wondering why she felt so flustered after waking up next to Tre.
"Tre?" she called, walking up the stairs from the basement.
"I'm in here!" he called from the living room. Kellie found him standing in front of the t. V, popping an old tape into the DVD/VCR player.
