I open my mouth wide enough to stretch the skin under my eyes so I can put my mascara on easily. Somehow I still manage to get the slightest bit of black smear on my lid. An audible groan left my mouth, as I smacked my lips onto my finger and swipe the excess mascara off of my undereye with my own saliva. I hear the soft shuffle of footsteps come into close proximity. I feel a shoulder rest on my head, recreating the moment from this morning in the kitchen together. I smile. 

"Hello," I say promptly. I hear a hum in response to my greeting.

"Too tired to talk huh? You've been awake for how long?" I ask, looking in the mirror to make eye contact with him so I don't have to move his head. 

"Since seven." He responds with a yawn. he continues to confuse me.

"So do you want to nap? You've already had coffee and you're still yawing up a storm. You can be like this at work." I complain. he nods.

"I know. Maybe a nap would be nice. " He mumbles into my ear, sending shivers down my spine, each vertebra feeling the tingle of his voice. I feel his head disconnect from my shoulder, and his body is no longer beside me. I huff. I feel so lonely only being a room away from him. He has control of every bone in my body already. bzz, bzz. I stare at my phone. Call from coral incoming. My phone reads. I pick it up to answer. 

"Yellow."

"hi, uh stella. So I need you to come home." She stated bluntly. 

"hi, Cora, uh why." I breathe out.

"Because. I'm just worried. ya know." She poorly explains, but I think I catch the hint that's flying around in the air around me. 

"The baby?" I ask. 

"Mhm."

"Well, uhm let me tell Austin, let him know," I announce. 

A small. "ok." Comes from the other side of the phone, then a beeping noise shortly after. When I enter the room, I notice that Austin is fast asleep on the bed. I lean over and plant a small kiss on his forehead. 

"Baby, Cora called, and it's urgent. I've got to go." I remark. I see Austin's glowing, ocean eyes slowly blink open. 

"what's happened?" He questions.

"It's a long story. ill tell you everything at work. I promise." I vow. He tiredly sticks up his pinkie.

"promise?" He asks.

 I wrap mine around it. 

"promise," I assure.

I hop into my car. The smell of myself fills my nose. I had forgotten what I smelled like since I had been in Austin's fragrance all evening and morning. I grab my phone and press shuffle. Ocean eyes by Billie Eilish's voice start to fill my car. How Ironic. To think I just saw someone with the feature she's describing. It's incredible. I force myself to sing out the lyrics. What a good drive. Vaguely rainy as well. Can't be any more perfect. I take a sip from my hydro flask. It was water. Austin had completely filled it up while I was doing my makeup. He thinks about everything. He truly is perfect.

Sorry for the shorter chapter. It's only 530 words. I was trying a new layout. Every new paragraph starts when a new dialogue begins. I think that better helps me. I am missing homework for this so hope it's semi-good. Love ya mamas, xoxo Robyn.
