I woke up to someone's frantic knocking on my bedroom door.

"Who is it?" I found myself asking in a sleepy voice.

"It's Cole, are you decent?" He asked me through the other side and I smiled to myself before giving him the green light. He came in and plopped down on the couch, running a hand through his hair.

"Get up, we're going to be late because of you." He told me and I groaned.

"I'm so tired! The bastard woke me up so late, I couldn't sleep properly after that." I whined, looking at Cole who only stared at me in confusion.

"Who woke you up at night?" He looked at me questioningly and I remembered he was asleep at the time.

I didn't feel like gossip first thing in the morning so I decided it was best to put off the whole topic for now.

"Is Abby up?" I asked him, changing the topic completely when he nodded, playing along.

"You guys should go. I'll walk today. I don't have the first class today anyway."

"Alright, don't sleep in then. Bye" He got up from the couch and gave me a little wave before closing the door behind him and I could hear him running down the stairs and out the front door.

I looked at my phone on the bedside table. It was still 9 a.m., and my class didn't start till 10.

The way he held my waist and how his rough hands caressed my face.

Why do I crave more?

I sighed deeply, closing the shower and getting dressed, settling for blue jeans and a blush pink sweater.

I quickly dried my hair and ran my fingers through it, letting its natural wave take over and grabbed my bag from a corner of the room, making my way downstairs. 

I ate the breakfast that Abby had left out for me on the kitchen island and glanced at the time, hurrying up.

Putting the dishes in the sink, I pulled on my white sneakers with one hand on the wall to balance myself and the other to wear them
