hot. hot hot hot.

my eyes flicker open. my body felt like it was on fire. i carefully lifted the covers off me hoping that the heat flashes would go away. the covers peeled off my skin, like peeling off a band-aid.

ew. i'm all sweaty.

instead of trying to fall back asleep, i pry myself out of clay's arms and head to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

the shower was relaxing but it did wake me up. i won't be able to fall back asleep now... oh i could go do that...

i threw on a hoodie and volleyball shorts and then headed out the door with clay's car keys.

walmart. good store. although, there was a creepy old man that kept looking at me by the clothing section but i just kept walking. i eventually ended up to the back of the store
— by all the technology — where i could get my printed out photos.

after approaching the lady behind the desk and asking about my photos, she told me they had just printed out some photos and she would go check. i looked down at my phone, curious to see what time it was. i didn't even check before i left.

3:47am.

oh, that's not bad. clay doesn't wake up until somewhere around 8 so i should be okay. not too long after the lady left, she came back with an envelope. she kindly smiled and told me that all my photos are in the envelope and that i could either pay at the front registers or right there. paying here wouldn't hurt. i have to get back home and put some of these in the photo book before clay wakes up.

when i was walking back to the car, i realized how pretty the night sky is when it's early in the morning like this. the sky wasn't a blackish, navyish color like it normally is at night, it was a dark blue but very light and clear if that makes sense. there were no clouds but there were stars sprinkled all over the sky. and to add, i love the smell of the night florida air. it definitely screams summer to me. i figure maybe today could be a lazy day for clay and i. we've been going out a lot recently and i don't think it would hurt to spend a day together inside.

once i got in the car, i carefully opened the envelope to look at the pictures. i smiled as i skimmed through them. perfect.

when i got home not too long later, i checked to make sure clay was still sleeping. he was. i headed back downstairs and grabbed my photo book.

it wouldn't hurt to eat something light... my stomach was grumbling anyway so i grabbed some grapes from the fridge and then started putting the pictures in the book. i couldn't help but smile at all the cute photos we took. it's quiet.. i grabbed my phone and airpods to turn on some music. i tapped the shuffle button on my likes playlist and started lightly humming.
