By the time we got home , it was almost 10 and it was my turn to cook tonight . Sam and I put our bags by the door and hung the coats up on the coat rack .
“ What are you going to cook tonight , will ?”
“ I really don ’ t wanna cook tonight Sam .”
It was hard for me to even say that , I was so tired after work today .
“ Do you want me to order in Chinese then ?”
I nod my head yes and head upstairs to my room . I entered the dark room and flopped face first into my bed , my mussels ease and I let out a sigh ,
“ Ah , sweet relief ”
I guess I passed out because by the time I woke up it was five in the morning on a Saturday and Sam was on the couch asleep with his computer on the coffee table . I went to the kitchen to see what Sam had ordered me from the Chinese place he had gotten me my favorite . shrimp lo mein and two egg rolls . I warmed it up in the microwave and took it to my room where I ate it while I listened to my audio book . I stayed up till Sam woke up .
