I was down in the garage and in my car by four thirty. I was already pulling out of the parking space before I had even buckled up. I was in a hurry to get to work, that was all.
It was still before five in the morning when I was opening EZ's door. I know he was sleeping but I needed to get inside and get that file. Plus I needed a shower and to officially get ready for the day.
I did my best to stay quiet when I went into the house but EZ was typically a light sleeper. I hadn't even made it into the spare bedroom and the bathroom that was hiding beyond it, when he was already opening his door and glaring at me.
"Do you have any fucking clue what time it is?" He was not a nice person when he first woke up in the morning. "You had better have a damn good excuse for waking me from my beauty sleep." I tried to take him seriously. I really did, but EZ's small stature, flamboyant way of talking and shining pink pajama shorts were all more than I could handle at the moment.
