You’re talking to a man with little sleep over here.

Devin:

Flirt

Me:

Not flirting. Just truth.

Can’t sleep.

This bed’s too damn empty without you in it.

Devin:

Mine feels pretty empty, too.

Me:

We need to rectify that.

Devin:

Won’t be much longer.

Me:

I’m done waiting.

Devin:

Oh, really? And what exactly are you planning to do about it?

My thumb hoveredover the keyboard as I stared at her message, smirking like an idiot in the dark. I could lie. I could keep it light and tell her I’ll deal. But we’re past that now. I wanted something more, and I had a feeling she felt the same.

Me:

You’ll see soon enough.

Devin:

Oh?

Me:

I want you in my bed every night, Dev.

Not just on the weekends.

Three blinking dots pop up,disappear, come back again. I can picture her in her bed, biting her lip, debating what to say.

Devin:

You’re serious?

Me:

Dead serious.
