The Thorn To My Rose

Sleepless In New York

Rosie:

Last night was pretty amazing. Jared picked me up and we went for a drive under the midnight sky.

All the doubts and worries that I had all faded away. A night filled with constant laughter and heart to heart seminars to blasting the radio and singing till we lost our voices. I never knew I needed moments like this.

Was this even real? I asked myself. Would I wake up any moment now and feel a small pit of disappointment brewing in my stomach. I had woken up and noticed that jared was asleep on my bedroom nook.

Noticing that I still had on my pj that was stained with ketchup from the burger from the midnight diner. I knew then that I wasnt dreaming and that I had actually snuck out for a night.

I quietly got out of bed and tip toed into the hallway where I saw mom and dads bedroom door was open and the bed was made. I didn't smell anything cooking from downstairs so I figured they had already left for work.

Walking back towards my room I see a note taped against my door.

" Sweetheart we left work early today and promised we will be back in a couple of hours. Try to remember to eat today. See you later. Xo- mom and dad"

I tried going back to sleep when a phone rang. I grabbed my phone from the dresser but now on was calling. I looked over at jared who was still on dreamland.

My goodness this guy is a heavy sleeper.  I peered over to check who was calling and it just said A👽

" Jared someones calling you."  After a couple attempts. Such as my luck the phone rang again but this time it was on facetime. Spiraling into full panic mode for no obvious reason I grabbed a pillow from my bed and chucked it at a sleeping jared.

I ended up answering it and facing the screen to a half asleep jared.

"Bro! You still sleepin" the voice boomed from the phone.

" ever heard of texting? You should try that next time you idiot."

"Whatever asshole anyway when you come back jefferson needs you back in the ring."

" yeah yeah all of this couldve been texted."

" Fuck you.  Bro where are you? Is someone holding the phone for you?"

" what do you think? Alright aaron as much fun it was to wake up me up at 12 member to text me next time."

" yeah yeah." Hangs up

Aaron? It couldnt be.

"  well goodmorning to you too Rosie posie" 

"Shut up, and geez put a shirt on would you?" 

"well if you were a nice host and offered me a blanket then i wouldnt need to strip to keep warm." as he said with a smug smile. 

" Ha ha very funny. I am surprised you didn't see the blanket that is now on the floor." 

He pointed at the blanket and then at himself with an obvious confused expression on his face. 

" for me? oh you shouldn't have." 

Note to self. Jared turns into a annoying smart ass once he wakes up. 

" You are so annoying. Anywho we are burning daylight." 

"Ah then let it burn! I wanna sleep some more.!" He whined picking up the blanket from the floor and plastering it over his face. Whereas I am over here debating if i should play tug of war or just let him be. Of course I am not one to lose a challenge so let the game commence.
