I was sweating when I woke up. Naomi's tiny body curled up against me. Her hair was laid out everywhere. I had awoken before my alarm was due to go off in five minutes for practice. I was fucking exhausted.

I didn't want to go to practice.

I wanted to stay in bed with the brunette all day long. We stayed awake until 4:15, so around an hour and ten minutes ago we fell asleep. We talked about loads of things.

Such as our middle names.

Mattison Joey and Naomi Jade.

We talked about our favorite foods, when we took the training wheels off of our bikes, and our first kisses. Everything. I had never let a girl get this close to me—I didn't have time for women unless it was getting under their clothing.

I learned that her favorite thing to do as a kid was washing dishes. She felt like she was the boss of the damn kitchen. I was envious, maybe if my parents had shown me more love like hers had, I would've been the boss of a kitchen too.

She told me about her school experience. She played soccer until she was twelve and most of the time she stopped in the middle of the field to admire the flowers instead of running after the ball. She liked winter over summer because the moon came out faster and stayed longer.
