Chapter 53 : Good morning.

Chase had woken up around six and seen Kofi's text. He didn't even bother to move as he smiled to himself, " I can't believe I did all that crazy stuff yesterday ". He ran yesterday's events through his mind and was surprised [ I killed a lot of people too ] " A lot can happen in twenty four hours though ".

Jumping to his feet, he did his stretches " I wonder if Peach's still mad at me ". He walked out of his room quietly and went to the living room. Remembering he couldn't leave, he fell back into the leather chair " I guess I'm stuck here for a while ".

The only registered fingerprints for this apartment were Kofi and Peach which is why the locks only worked when they touched the handle. With nothing to do, he ended up falling asleep on the couch.

He frowned when he thought he heard whispers. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Kofi's smiling face looking down at him, " Good morning ". Chase sighed, looking up at her " Morning ". She pocked his cheek gently, " Aren't you gonna get all flustered and tell me to stay away from you "?

Chase laughed, still looking up at her " I knew you were messing with me ". Kofi smiled innocently, "Maybe, but you look so cute when you turn red ". She poked his cheek playfully, " Turn red. Please. Turn red ".

He held her finger, shaking his head as he turned to her " I'm a wall of steel now ". Kofi pouted slightly, " I will break through ". He nodded, standing up " If you say so ". Kofi shrugged, " I left the door open just in case. Do come back though ".

Chase was slightly surprised [ How did she even know someone was awake? ] He nodded with a smile as he got up, " Don't miss me too much ". Kofi laughed, walking to her room " Were you always so cocky "?

**^**^**^**^**^**^**^

Dylan grunted as he opened his eyes and looked around. Rubbing his eyes, he mumbled to himself " Where am I "? He chuckled to himself as he remembered what happened last night, " That was the most dangerous day of my life ".

He opened his door the same time Kofi reached for hers. She turned to him and smiled, " Good morning ". Dylan took a step back, " Why are you smiling like that? It gives me chills ".

Kofi lunged for him, touching his chest " I knew you were ripped, but not this ripped ". Dylan turned red as he held her hand [ I forgot I wasn't wearing a shirt ] " Can you not do this so early in the morning "?

She nodded and he let her hand go. She opened the door to her room, obviously excited about something " Chase is so done for ". Dylan sighed as he shook his head, " I kinda feel bad for him ". Peach suddenly opened her door, leaning on the door and yawning " What's going on "?

She had on a large oversized pink shirt with a large bunch of green grapes on it. She rubbed her eyes and groaned when she heard a flash, " What are you doing "? Dylan couldn't help but laugh, " You have the wildest bed hair I've ever seen ".

Peach suddenly touched her head and screamed, going back into her room " Delete that right now "! Dylan laughed, leaning against the door [ She reacts quickly ] " But it's such a keeper ". Peach hit her door, still yelling " How can you do this to me "?

Kofi laughed to herself as she picked Whiskers up and suddenly pouted, " Why are you looking at me like that "? He put his paw to her nose, " You're still thinking about it, aren't you "? Kofi smiled slightly, holding him close " Yeah. The whole thing kinda makes me mad and I have no idea why, which only infuriates me more ".

She shook Whispers, slightly frustrated " Does that make sense to you? Cos it makes no sense to me ". Whiskers stood still, too afraid to give her an answer [ You should take a bath master. Sitting in water seems to help clear your mind ]

She nodded, throwing Whiskers on the bed " Whatever you say Coda ". Kofi quickly stripped out of her clothes and wrapped a towel around her chest, " How does it work exactly "?

[ It would be best to relax today. You've been through a lot in the last two days ] Kofi nodded, picking Whiskers up " Can I still workout "? [ Affirmative master, as long as you are calm ]

Whiskers was struggling against her grip, " What are you doing "? She smiled, turning on the tap " Taking a bath ". Whispers scoffed, " Yeah. So why am I stuck with you "? Kofi shrugged with a smile, " It's not the first time we're taking a bath together ".

Whiskers glanced at the tub and shook his furry head, " That was entirely different and I wouldn't call it a bath ". She laughed, stepping into the water " Coda says bubble baths are fun. Sure you don't wanna have one? It might never happen again ".

Whiskers sighed, looking down at the water " Do I really get a choice "? Kofi giggled and shook her head, " No, you don't ". She dropped him into the water and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself as she began scrubbing his fur, " This is my life now ".
