They came back. It was getting late. Nolee wondered if Michael was home. She went and knocked on his door. She heard a groan. He was awake.
She opened he door and threw a shoe at him. Then she walked away.
“He’s coming.” Nolee said.
“Shoe?” Barbie asked.
“Yup.”
He came flopping out.
“You need to stop with the shoe.” he said.
“You need to stop sleeping.” she replied.
“You-” he started.
“Shutup and shove food in your mouth.” she said.
Later that night Nolee was sitting out on the fire escape. Barbie was sleeping. Michael came out.
“Hey.” he said.
“Oh, hey.” Nolee turned around and smiled. “Let’s walk.”
“Sure.”
They went to a dark alley.
“Isn’t this better?” she said. moving closer to him.
“Nope. Can’t really see.” he said.
“Not funny!” she said.
He put his arms around her waist and kissed her. The sun started to come up. It was a picture perfect moment. Nolee had a feeling her life was going to get alot better.
They went home and went to sleep. The next morning would be full of surprises…
