After midnight I decide to turn off the computer after playing for more than five hours. I could be playing for a little more, but my eyes are slowly getting more and more tired and I don't know how much I can hold them open.

I stretch my back, reclining the back of the chair. A yawn escapes from my mouth. Then I connect my phone to my speaker and I play a random playlist before going to the bathroom to take a shower. I don't really have a routine where I shower at a certain time of the day, but it's true that I enjoy it more before sleeping. 

I turn the faucet to hot water. The best temperature while showering is burning without physical damage, and no one can convince me otherwise.

I don't even take my jewelry off before showering, I'm too lazy to that. 

When I consider the water is at my liking warmth, I go beneath it. In a few seconds I'm completely soaked, my hair stuck to the face. 

I don't really take too much to shower, just shampoo and soap and rinse them off.

Although I'm quick, mist enveloped the whole bathroom, even the mirror is steamy. I take a towel and wrap it around my waist. Then I open a drawer from the bathroom cabinet and I grab my eyeliner. I love doing this when my face is wet so the black ink runs and it kinda adds a messy and different touch.

I swipe my hand through the glass so I can see my eyes while drawing a fine line around them. I also lengthen the line at the edge of the eyebrow. I've been practicing for a while, so each time I'm better at it.

Right when I finish, I brush my teeth. Meanwhile, Mr. Brightside is playing from the speaker so I just vibe with the music at the same time. I love this song so much, mostly because despite its upbeat feel, the song deals with post-breakup issues and so I pretty much identify with it.

The song ends and I think I listen something vibrating from my room. I guess it's my cell phone and when I check it, I'm not wrong. As it's vibrating a lot I thought someone was calling me, but eventually is all messages. 

From Summer.

I like when she texts me, but I find a little strange so many messages in such a brief time. I unlock the screen and read them. They don't have any sense, like if she was drunk or something.

Hi

Vinegar

Vinnie

Fucking autocorrector

Hi

Wait I already said hi

I'm bored

Not really

My friends are lame

I love them 

That were some of the messages. I have to admit that I laughed at the misspelled word of my name.

You ok?

She doesn't take much time to answer.

Yes, at my friend's house. Hanging out. Maybe drank too much.

Confirmed.

Do I have to go there at 4 a.m?

Obviously it's a joke referring to when she came back to my house after Andy's birthday party.

Ha ha, funny

I put the phone next to the sink and I proceed to remove the eyeliner. It's always just for fun, I only go out with it in counted occasions.  

You need a night partner tonight?, she texts after I finish the first eye. 

Is it a question or is that you wanna sleep with me again?

Oh, how I enjoy messing around with people. I can already imagine her eyes widening open.

Three dots appear and disappear on the screen, meaning she's constantly changing the answer without sending anything. I chuckle. I finish removing the black ink of the other eye and she still didn't respond. Either she is with a friend or she's too shy to admit the truth.

I change the towel to black Calvin Klein boxers and I go straight to bed.

No, the message appears on the block screen.

No what?, I continue teasing.

Stop

You started

I hate you

Well, I hate you too

No, you can't hate me

Neither can you

I know she isn't angry at all, just drunk boosts.

I like sleeping with you

There it is.

Shit, no I don't, she says right after

Too late

It was my friend who took my phone

Lie

She sends an angry emoji, which I find it funny.

Why you care so much? It's not like we haven't done it yet

Stfu

I send laughing emojis.

I'm gonna end this conversation

Why? It was getting interesting

Bye Vinnie

Summer

What

We're friends

I know

I like sleeping with you

Ok

It's not a big deal

Ok

I lock the screen and wait if she says something else. Nothing happens for five minutes. During that time I turn off the music and the bedroom lights.

Are you in bed?, she asks. I smile a bit when I see her name on the screen.

Yeah, why?

Then goodnight

Night night Summer

Again the three dots appear and disappear, but neither of us say nothing else.

What y'all think Summer was trying to say at the end? ;)
