"Do you have any idea what time it is?"
-------- Kati leaned against the door frame, a sigh slipping through her lips before she answered his question.Ā āOf course I know what time it is,ā she muttered. She rolled her eyes at the question and hoped that the action was small enough that he would not be able to notice it and call her out.Ā āBe a gentleman, Cooper - invite me in.āĀ
Without waiting for a proper introduction, Kati pushed herself off the door frame that had been holding her support and stumbled into Griffinās place. She had been there before and was surprised she had been able to find it given the state of intoxication she was in. She wasnāt the type of person who opened up easily, nor would she have showed up to his place uninvited had she been sober. Kati wasnāt meaning to use the fact that she spent the night drinking as an excuse for being unannounced and rude, but she had been in the area and she wasnāt quiet ready to climb into her own bed.
Turning back around to face Griffin, Kati smiled at him before she spoke again.Ā āI was in the neighbourhood,ā she started to explain. The next set of words hung on her lips, finding the perfect way to come out without making her vulnerable. He had been nice to her so far, but that didnāt mean she was ready to open up to someone new. It always found a way to bite her in the ass when she did and Kati had learned from that. It was not something she was ever going to do lightly again - no matter how nice someone was. Or pretendedĀ to be.Ā
āI wasnāt ready to go home,ā she finally said, looking up at Griffin through the tops of her eyelashes.Ā āI thought maybe youād like some company.ā
