“You’re gonna crush it,” he says as I sit up, my legs straddle him for a brief moment before I slide completely off my bed and he sits up.
“I hope so. This scholarship program means a lot to me, and I really want to make it happen for girls interested in working in sports.”
“I saw the post on the network’s social media about the scholarship, it’s a really great idea. I’m proud of you for being so passionate about it.” He smiles when he reaches for his clothes.
“Thank you,” I say, my cheeks blushing as I do.
Both of us back in our clothing, Liam leads me out of my bedroom and down the hallway.
“I’ll let you get some rest. I hope you sleep well. Let me know how your meeting goes.” He leans in, kissing my forehead.
My television went into sleep mode and the three cookies I had on the coffee table are still there—I’ll be taking those to bed with me the second he leaves.
“You too.” Our fingers intertwine as he opens the door, and I watch as he flicks the bottom lock before he exits.
“G’night, Dem.”
I smile, tipping my head to him as he steps out into the hallway, and my heart could burst at the sight of him as he backs away.
There’s still a smile on my face when I wake up. The same one I had last night when I went to sleep. Everything with Demi last night was a fucking dream come true.
