My eyes watered with the light from the phone burning into them. I couldn’t stay awake much longer. I needed to sleep.
Me: I don’t wanna be rude but I’m exhausted, I’m going to get some sleep. I’ll text you in the morning.
Kaden: Sure thing, babe. Lock all the damn doors and sleep with a gun or something.
I laughed at his comment, it hurt my whole body. Being happy hurt.
Me: Gun I don’t have but Louisville slugger I do.
Kaden: Haha, next best thing, babe. Sleep with that and I’ll see you when I’m looking at you.
Me: Stole my line.??
Kaden: Won’t be the only thing I steal, babe.??
I smiled a real freaking smile for the first time all day.
Me: Night xx
Kaden: Night, beautiful xo
No longer able to stay awake, I set my phone on the bedside table and slid into the overly soft and pillowed bed. I settled myself under the covers, tucked myself down deep and watched the stars dance in the night sky before drifting off.
