[ early riser ]

[BECKiEE :)]

It was early morning, the sun wasn’t even up yet. The moon still hung in the sky, but on
the newly placed alarm clock it read 7:34am. A bird called suddenly, announcing the
dawn and with a groan Darren woke up. He’d just gotten a place here, and yesterday he'd
been shown by Jen to his room. This room. Darren had settled down nicely after he came
back from the hotel room with his stuff, that was now neatly placed around his room. He
yawned widely, propping himself up on his elbows with his brown hair sticking up in
every direction. He glared across at the alarm clock.''We start work at 8:00am'' was
what Jen had said, and Darren cursed the damned blackbird for waking him up. The
young man rolled out of bed and landed with a thump on the floor before getting up and
rubbing his eyes. After a few more moments he was more or less awake and he opened
his bedroom door and wondered across the hallway. He was wearing some dark navy
boxers. He would have been wearing a T-shirt, but he’d been to tired to find it. So, his
evenly muscled chest was bare for now. He would need a coffee as soon as he got
downstairs to properly wake him up, he thought vaguely as he made his way to the
bathroom. On his way out of his room he’d grabbed a tube of toothpaste and a tooth
brush, he was going to get ready now, since there was no point trying to get any more
sleep. He paused at the bathroom door, it was closed. Tentatively he knocked the door,
but with no reply, so he pulled down the handle and shuffled sleepily into the room to brush his teeth.

Kirsten was already up and was bringing there new help a coffee. She went to his room and didn't see him so she sat down on his bed to wait for him to come back.He better hurry. There's a lot of work to be done!

[BECKiEE :)]

Darren yawned again, as he finished in the bathroom, and walked back across the hall
way to his room, jumping slightly as he saw a girl there. But he recognized her from
yesterday. He walked inside the room, lifting his hand in greeting with a smile.
''Hi'' he said as he moved back to his bed and flopped onto it, looking at the ceiling.
''I need to get up again, don’t I?'' he said, his eyes drifting to the clock and back
again. He didn't know her name, but before he could ask he saw the coffee she was holding.
''Oh, is that for me?''

[IP13]

Yes this coffee is for you but only if you get up! My name is Kirsten, by the way, Darren. she said with a small smile playing on her lips.

[BECKiEE :)]

''Oh okay, okay! I'll get up--'' he said in mock exasperation.''Ill have my coffee
once i’m dressed.'' he continued, and pushed himself up off the bed and opened a
drawer, and rummaged around. Then looked over his shoulder at Kirsten, before he spoke
up in his Norwegian accent.''Or, Do you plan on watching me get changed?'' he
said playfully now with an innocent look on his face, though there was that childish grin
that tugged at his lips.

[IP13]

Well...if you want me to stay.... Kirsten said almost bursting into laughter.

[BECKiEE :)]

''No way missy! Out you gooo --'' he said teasingly and ushered her away with his
hands. He picked up the dark gray T-shirt he now planned to wear and pulled it on,
speaking as he did so.''Or you could just turn around I suppose''. He rummaged
around again, looking for the rest of the clothes that had fallen on the floor.

[IP13]

Kirsten turned around to face the bathroom. She looked at her watch. Let's see if you can get dressed in a minute. If you can I'll let you have breakfast. She said with a smile, even though he couldn't see it.

[BECKiEE :)]

''Ahhh!'' he said aloud as she put the time limit and snatched the rest of his clothes
up from the place they had fallen to. He dressed as quickly as he could, although he came
to complications when he had to pull on his jeans, and he started hopping on the spot,
trying to pull them on as quickly as he could. As soon as he had done up the zipper and
fastened the studded belt, he dived for some socks under his bed and pulled them on.
''How... Did...I....Do?'' he panted, flopping against the wall and looking across at
Kirsten with a grin.

[IP13]

Kirsten was laughing hysterically now. Not bad. A minute and a half. I think that you can have breakfast after that performance. Kirsten said laughing even harder.

[BECKiEE :)]

He pouted like an offended child for a second before climbing to his feet and walking
over.''Okay, you’ve had you show missy... Now, can I have my coffee?'' he asked
with a grin still playing on his lips, amused by her hysterical fits of laughter.

[IP13]

I have to go to the bathroom! She said. You can have it when I come out.

[BECKiEE :)]

''Okay'' he said, and lay back on his bed, curling up like he was a cat or a dog.
''I'll wait here'' he said, closing his eyes as if he was about to go back to sleep
whilst he waited for her. Then his alarm went off, flashing 8:00am at him. He
grabbed the alarm clock and lay on it, muffling out some of the sound at least. He grinned
at himself, he still acted like a kid most of the time when he felt relaxed, like right now.
But when he needed it, there was also a more mature side to Darren.

[IP13]

Kirsten came out with an empty mug. It was cold. Let's go eat breakfast. She said while she lightly shook his shoulder. It was warm and muscled.

Jen sat at the breakfast table, with four other people around her. One was a b|onde haired woman, typing away at her laptop. The other three were guys, all with black hair. The oldest was on his third cup of coffee, talking excitedly with the guy next to him, who was somewhat short. The third stared off into space, absentmindedly twisting one of his lip piercings, obviously the youngest of the three.
So, what's this guy like? asked the third, looking up at Jen.
He's nice. Cute, too. I think you'd like him, Matt. But unfortunately, I don't think he goes your way. Sorry. Jen gave a sympathetic smile.
Matt sighed.How is it that no one here is like me? I'm like the only person in this town this way.
Seeing he was discouraged,Don't worry. I'm sure the right guy's out there for you. And one day he'll feel a need to come to our town and he'll love you. This smile was a happier smile.Hopefully, he'll get up soon.
