Alfie woke up tangled in his bedsheets, swearing at his stupid beeping alarm.  He slammed the stop button and dragged himself out of bed, the overhanging drunkenness from last night still pursuing a heavy grip on his brain.  Staggering to the bathroom, Alfie ran a quick cold shower, hopping in and trying to wash the sticky feeling from his face.  Pushing the water faucet shut he gets out and goes to change into a collared shirt and work pants, trailing water droplets behind him on the carpet as he went.  As Alfie fastens his belt he hears the sound of another door slamming.  One of his roommates was awake.  Stepping out of his room, Alfie lays his watch on his wrist and pours himself some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, layering over some chocolate milk on top into what he suspects is a clean bowl.  Alfie is halfway out the door, spoon almost to his mouth before he realises that Pepper is at the table and he must've just breezed past her.  Retreating a few steps back Alfie waves a hand.
[color=turquoise]"Hey Pep, Good morning!  I'm just going to head out to work right now, but I hope you have an amazing day, angel."[/color] Alfie smiles at her and moves to pat her shoulder softly.  He always liked Pepper and found her endearing.  She was a nice soul and he appreciated her kindness and tolerance whenever he came home late or drunk...or both. Plus, she was pretty cool in her own right.  Alfie grabs his bag from where it was lying on the sofa from the night before and walks out of the door, shutting it softly behind him as he went and filling in the RSVP form for the party that night before making his way out of the apartment complex.

Ordering an Uber on his phone, he quickly ducks inside the car and spend the ride to work tapping on his phone.  As of now, he had no romances to keep alive.  He was too busy trying to secure his inheritance to spend time worrying about people rejecting his advances.  However...

She was after all a friend...and great fun.  He needed some fun tonight, after going into withdrawal for so long.  Alfie rolled his eyes at himself before the car screeched to a halt and he got out.  Time for torture.

Alfie walked out of work tired and in need of a break.  Today had been a never ending string of conference after conference after conference with only meager coffee breaks in between.  God, was this all so difficult.  He wished he could just lay off for a bit but he couldn't do that...not with his father's eye on him.  Alfie crumpled up his coffee cup in frustration and huffed as he threw it in the nearby trash bin before ducking inside a convenience store to get a jumbo bag of chips and a cheap bottle of wine for the party tonight.  Slinging his purchases over his shoulder, Alfie decides to walk home, the sound of the streetlights flickering on and the distant rumbling of music from a nearby night club calming his frayed nerves.  It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle sometimes.  He had a clear mind tonight and could actually hear himself think coherently.  Flicking a pebble out of the way with the tip of his leather shoe he walks up the steps to his apartment room, deposits his bag on the couch and takes the cereal bowl that he accidentally took to work with him to place in the sink.  It was pretty early, considering that he would've had to work all day when the company had conferences, but his father had lost his temper in one and after that, well...people just tended to try to get everything done faster so they could get the hell out of there. 

When Alfie bursts through the rooftop door he is surprised to see quite the crowd gathered up here.  It was pretty though, so he could see the appeal.  Plus it was a party.  Looking over the area he could see the twinkling string lights and the darkening night and felt instantly at ease.  Placing down the bottle of wine and bag of chips on the communal table he walks up to a familiar figure and taps her on the shoulder.
[color=turquoise]"Charlie? How are ya?"[/color] He hadn't seen her leave this morning and especially in this week, since he was so busy with work, he hadn't been able to talk much to both of his roommates.  But here, he could catch up with them and talk a bit.  After all, talking always healed any problems he had at the moment.
