The solid thud of the phone landing on my head jerked me awake when the continuous ringing of it's tone had not. I groaned, blinking my eyes blearily as fumbled to hit the button to pick up the phone. "Lo?" I mumbled, rubbing at my head as I tried to figure out where I was.
"I've been trying to get a hold of you for forty minutes! Where are you?" Came the snappy reply.
"I'm...." I glanced around again, slowly piecing together the scene. "I'm in the office," I exhaled, standing as I turned for the door. If he was calling at this time that meant. "Hold on, I'll come unlock the doors."
"Finally! You do know it's freezing out here right? What took you so long to answer the phone?"
"I didn't hear it." I said truthfully as I plodded down the stairs to the door.
He clicked his phone shut raising an eyebrow as I let him in. "Did you actually fall asleep?"
I fought back a yawn and failed. "If I say No...."
"I won't believe you. How long have you been here!"
I locked the doors again, leading him back upstairs. "Uh...."
"Too long if you can't remember."
