A night to remember

There was a point in my life when I was addicted to watching movies.  I had just finished with my exams, and my brother had 2 TB of movies in his system so there was no stopping me.  After office, the routine was simple: change clothes, don’t bother with washing up, run up to my brother’s room, switch off the lights and watch movies. 

One such evening, I started watching 'Life as we know it' at 6.  The movie left me feeling good and I thought I would watch another one, '17 again'.  This was hilarious.  My brother came in and stood beside my, arms akimbo.  “I’m gonna sleep.”

“Permission granted,” I snickered and started with another movie.  'Another Cinderella story'  

Because he was tired, I escaped unhurt – soon he was snoring on the bed beside me. 

Then another.  'A walk to remember.'  Good one.

'Just married.'  Pretty good.

'What happened in Vegas.'  Super funny. 

Just as the movie was winding up, my brother’s phone rang.  I knew he received calls all the time, but this late?  I wondered.  He woke up groggily and looked at his mobile. 

“Who’s calling you at this hour da?  Girlfriend?”  I asked, with my eyes still on the screen.

“That was the alarm.  Its 6’o clock in the morning.”
