"Then why isn’t she answering her phone? Can I talk to her?"
"She’s been sick since yesterday Gray I turned her phone off after a while so that she could get so all day Do you boys need et you?"

She’s curled into a ball in the middle of the bed with her hair splayed out on the pillow We’ve been apart for just over forty eight hours but my body yearns for her touch, and the feel of her soft skin I pull the covers away and slip in behind her, careful not to move her My arm wraps around her middle and instinctively pulls her closer Her vanilla and strawberries scent assaults et lost in the familiarity of it She feels like home
I feel her stir and turn to faceto rid the sleep froirl," I whisper
"Hi baby," her voice is unintentionally husky and I can’t help et back?"
"A few htly and she frowns "Oh no! I totally forgot I was supposed to hter "It’s fine, I got a ride from Brody"
She shakes her head and burrows further into my chest "I’m so sorry," she eous blue eyes
"It’s fine baby De better?"
"Much better now that you’re here"
