a few days after i met arlo, i woke up before saylor did. we had stayed at my apartment last night, and i spent the better half of the night making saylor completely unravel beneath me. saylor only called it a night when we received a noise complaint, which she (jokingly) got mad at me for.

i thought that it was pretty funny, but she didn't seem to think so.

either way, by the time that we had received the noise complaint, saylor was getting pretty exhausted and was nearly ready to call it a night.

i've been with plenty of girls before, but none of them could go on and on like saylor can. believe it or not, she's a little nympho.

last night, i had wanted to try again to let saylor top... but i freaked out before we even started, so i pushed my thoughts aside and focused on saylor instead. saylor didn't seem to notice, which i'm thankful for.

anyways.

i'm still in the bed with saylor. i've been up for maybe fifteen minutes, and i haven't been able to go back to sleep. it's still pretty early in the morning; i'm surprised i'm even awake, considering how late we went to sleep.

while i was struggling to go back to sleep, saylor was still sleeping soundly. her head was laying on my chest, her arms were wrapped around me, and her legs were tangled with my own. she looked as peaceful as she could be as she slept. with how things played out last night, she's probably sleeping really well.

my eyes scanned over saylor's face. as i looked at her, i couldn't help the slight smile that came to my face. i was almost overwhelmed by how thankful i am that she's in my life. her just being here and with me helps more than she could ever know.

my sweet little angel.

after another fifteen minutes or so, i decided i would go get us some breakfast. i tried to get out bed to do my morning routine so that i could go get us breakfast, but saylor wasn't having that. she immediately stirred when i tried to get up, and she let out an adorable, sleepy whine.

"don't leave," she grumbled tiredly as she clung onto me tightly. "go back to sleep."

"you go back to sleep," i chuckled softly. "i'm gonna go get us some breakfast, darling."

"do it later," she complained. she pulled her head off of my chest, and she pouted at me. her face was a little puffy from not getting enough sleep, but she still looked adorable. "stay and sleep with me. please?"

"i wish i could, but i can't get back to sleep," i told her with pursed lips. i combed her hair out of her face with my hand before i cupped her face. i leaned forward, and i pressed my lips to her forehead. "go back to sleep, my love. i'll wake you up when i'm back with breakfast, okay?"

she continued to pout at me. when she saw that i wasn't budging, she let out a sigh. "okay," she mumbled. "well, i want—"

before she could continue, i cut her off with her exact order. she kinda just looked at me in shock for a moment before she buried her face into her pillow. "yeah, that," she murmured.

i let out a small laugh. "i know. i'll be back soon, angel. i love you."

"i love you more," she replied, though she already sounded like she was on the verge of falling back asleep.

"false," i responded, but i didn't get a reply back. i shook my head with a smile. before i got out of bed, i placed a kiss to saylor's head.

after i was out of the bed, i walked to the bathroom to do my morning routine. after i was finished, i walked back to my bedroom to get dressed. once i was dressed, i left my apartment.
