Deadly Temptations

I dose on and off while waiting for Anthony to return. Griffin periodically would stick his head in the living room, make a joke, wait for me to laugh, and return to whatever Anthony had assigned him to do. 


Pulling myself to my feet, I grunt slightly and make my way down the hallway to the bathroom. Once finished, I peek my head into the room that Griffin keeps disappearing in. I find him kicked back in bed with a few laptops stretched out in front of him. 


“Whatcha doing, Griffin?” I ask, leaning against the doorway. 


He jumps and turns toward me in surprise. “I thought you were asleep. If you need something you should have yelled for me.” 


I shrug and make my way further into the room, climbing into the bed to sit next to him. “I had to use the bathroom. I wasn’t about to ask you if you’d assist me with that.” I laugh, genuinely finding the thought amusing.
