I can't sleep.

It's currently 6:30am in the morning. Have I gotten any sleep? No. After tossing and turning countless times I've come to the conclusion that sleep is not going to be a thing for me. Atleast for tonight.

I can see the sun rising so I get up to brush my teeth and wash my face. Even if one part of my routine is thrown off it doesn't mean the whole thing should go to shit right? Im drained.

I need a shower.

I hop in the shower standing under the water a little too long.

"It'll get better Alaya"

I deeply sigh getting out from under the stream of water to lather my body with soap. Once rinsed off I hop out the shower proceeding with the rest of my routine.

I can already tell todays not my day.

I go to my living room dressed in only a robe and grab a book from my little library. "How to make friends with the dark"

After hours unknowingly passing I'm snapped out of my trance to my phone ringing.

Dev.

"Hello" I say as if I don't already know why she's calling. "Are you ready?" Dev exclaims. "No I'm gonna get ready now" I sigh.

"Ok I'll be there in 30. Love you." she says hanging up.

I could be staying home right now peacefully reading my book. But due to a lie I told my hot neighbor to seem like a normal sociable person I am now having to pause what could've been a relaxing day, to go out and socialize.

I don't even know why I lied I can't even make up my mind about what I want from this man. A friendship? A sneaky link? A relationshi- okay let me not get too ahead of myself. Maybe I should just go with the flow for once. You know. Be normal.

I head to my closet picking out my outfit for today:

Once I'm dressed I style my hair in high ponytail refreshing my curls in the process

Welp I guess I'm ready.

I grab my phone dialing Devs number. "Hey I'm like 5 minutes away you ready?" She questions. "Yeah I'm gonna head to the lobby and wait for you there k?"

"Kk I'll see you bae" and with that I hang up. Don't worry she's used to it.

I take a look around my place making sure everything's good before heading out. I grab my purse and phone and go to the elevator.

Once I reach the lobby Devs already sitting on one of the lounge chairs staring at her phone. She looks up spotting me "YOU LOOK SO CUTE" she exclaims.
