Prickly as a Rose

Neil ran up the stairs two at a time.He wanted to curse himself for being stupid!This is what you called handing the gun to someone to shoot yourself.Taking off the offending shirt,Neil took out a Sponge Bob T shirt for himself with matching pyjamas.This was actually a set that Neil had never worn or had any intention to wear and it was actually a gift from Alicia who loved this sort of thing.In his fluster,Neil wore this,not realizing that this would give Mi Rae more fodder to tease him!As he went down,he tried to give himself a talking to so that he would not embarass himself anymore and composed his features into the cold mask he usually wore.

Mi Rae looked up at Neil and almost spewed out the tea she had just shipped.The person known to be shark and who could intimidate the he** out of anyone actually dresses up as a 5 year old at home.He was a mass of contradictions!Without saying anything,,Neil poured himself a cup and sat to sip it.
