Jeff shut his apartment door behind him, throwing his keys haphazardly onto the kitchen counter as he tugged his tie loose. He’d had a long, miserable day at the office, followed by a long, miserable drive home in the pouring rain, which included his freaking phone buzzing off the hook. Normally it wouldn’t have bothered him to answer it, but the rain was coming down in buckets and he had been too tense to take his hands off ten and two.
He grabbed a beer from the fridge and wandered into the living room, settling back into his armchair. After taking a pull from the long-necked bottle, he finally pulled his phone out, finding four missed calls and three messages.

“Jeff, hey, it’s Britta. Are you busy this weekend? I’m going out of town and I need you to feed my cats. Give me a shout when you’re free.”
Oh god... Thank you, that was amazing. I've been a lurker for the longest time, reading and watching... like a creep, and I finally decided to say something, well prompt something, first time I prompt anything.. ever. So uhm thank you and if anything else comes to mind I'll prompt you again.
