At eight o'clock the next morning, Brandon was awoken by a phone call.
Last night, Janet's seductive prowess had proved too much for him to resist, and it wasn't until dawn that they ended.
Exhausted after such intense love-making, Brandon's mood turned rotten when his phone rang so early that morning.
When he saw that the call was from Garrett, he rudely ended it and tried to go back to sleep.
To his surprise, Garrett persisted and kept calling.
Gritting his teeth, Brandon finally picked up the phone and barked, "What the hell are you doing?"
Garrett's cheerful voice came buzzing through from the other end. "Laney started talking to me!"
Brandon's tone turned menacing. "Did you call just to tell me that?"
"Of course not!"
Garrett didn't notice the irritation in Brandon's voice at all, and continued to chatter away excitedly, "I want to thank you and Janet for your help! If it weren't for you two, I would've thought Laney was going to divorce me. However, she just told me that she didn't send those things. It seems like she might still be in love with me..."
"You idiot." Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Brandon hung up immediately.
If he continued to listen to his drivel, he might end up just as stupid as Garrett.
Nevertheless, Brandon was happy to hear that the
two of them had made up.
Laney was lucky to have a friend like Janet. Otherwise, if she and Garrett were to have another misunderstanding, their already fragile relationship would surely hang precariously in the balance.
At this time, Janet was also awoken by the phone conversation. She rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "What's going on?"
Brandon cradled her in his arms and whispered, "Nothing, it was just a telemarketer. Let's go back to sleep..."
"Hmm..." Janet snuggled comfortably in his arms and drifted back to sleep.
