The last thing I remember is…
Oh, God.
I freaking fell asleep. On the phone with him.
What is happening to me?
I click the button on my phone, but it doesn’t do anything, and that’s when I realize it must’ve died at some point in the middle of the night. With a huff, I reach for the charger and plug it in before curling beneath the blankets and falling back into a peaceful abyss.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“You’re not dead in there, are you, Mads?”
“Huh?” I shoot up, blankets pooling around my waist as I’m jarred from my slumber. The banging sounds again, and I wince. “What?” I shout, louder this time so whoever it is will freaking stop.
“Yo, it’s one in the afternoon. You never sleep this late. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t dead or somethin’.”Lenny.
“No, I’m okay!” I shout back and run my fingers through my disheveled hair. My phone vibrates on my stand next to me, drawing my attention. “Was just up late studying!”
“It was a Friday night, dude!” Lenny responds with a laugh. “But glad you’re good. We’ll see ya later tonight then?”
“Yeah, thanks!”
The moment I hear his retreating footsteps, I roll onto my side and reach for my phone, my heart rate kicking up because I already know what—orwho—I’m going to find on it.
Unknown:
Good morning darlin
You mustve worn yourself out
My face flushes at his most recent text, and I shake my head, despite my lips curving into a smile as I stare down at his… well.
I suppose I should make him a contact in my phone at this point.
I add him, and feeling cheeky, I use the photo he first sent me as his contact photo. Once that’s done, I go back to our thread and text him back.
Me:
You wore me out. I’ve never slept this late before.
It’s like he was just sitting around waiting for my response because my text gets read immediately, and for some reason, that makes my heart flutter.
Cedrick:
Id love to wear you out in all sorts of ways
Oh, Jesus Christ, he really just gets right to it, doesn’t he?
Tugging my bottom lip between my teeth, I type back.
Me:
I think I might like that.
Cedrick:
Ohhhh dont tease me my treat. I dont have any self control especially when it comes to you
