My Quiet Guy

Chapter 16

Gabrielle Morgan

"These sheets won't comfort me
Please wake up love (wake up)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holding me
Show me some attention
I want you to wake up, love (wake up)
Hear me baby."

I sing the lyrics as I clean my room on a Saturday. Teyana Taylor is playing on my tv while clean out my closet.

I have so many clothes it's not funny. I don't know why I'm doing this, I just decided I wanted to clean it out and go through it.

So that's what I'm doing.

I continue cleaning my room before going into the bathroom. I clean my mirror off, the toilet and more before finally finishing.

I sigh and wash my face before taking Enzo's sweatshirt off. I put it with the rest of my laundry before taking the basket downstairs.

I open the washer, dump the clothes inside, and start it. I dust my hands off before starting to sway my hips to the beat of Closer To God by Diddy alongside Teyana Taylor.

"There's something really special livin'
inside of you
Woah, you make it easy in the mind, yo
I can never see my life outside of you
Even though I'm broken, got me feelin' strong."

I sing along as I continue dancing and moving around the house with a broom in hand.

This new album is really getting to me. Like I don't what it is but, it's rejuvenating.

I ding comes from my pocket as I begin sweeping the living room causing me to set the broom aside and get it.

I go to my messages and see a text from Enzo.

Enzo🧸: Ciao principessa.

Me: Hola. What's up?

Enzo🧸: I'm bored but I know you don't like to be interrupted on you're Saturday cleaning.

I laugh as I move to sit on the couch.

Me: Aww, I'm almost done anyway. Why? What'd you have in mind?

Enzo🧸: Well I was going to ask if we can have like a movie night? Ya know with pillow forts, candy, chips, blankets. All that stuff.

I smile as I bite the inside of my cheek. This man never fails to make me smile. Even though I've only known him for a fraction of a few weeks, I'm comfortable around him.

Like really comfortable.

Me: I would love that. Just let me finish sweeping then you can come in twenty minutes.

Enzo🧸: Fine with me. See ya soon mama🤍.

I smile, shut my phone off, and stand up, then fall back on the couch dramatically as Morning by Teyana plays.

Bad timing song. Like bad timing.

I'm now done cleaning and getting dressed. Enzo texted me letting me know he's leaving the house now so I'm just going to throw clothes on.
