Chapter 7: Mars

I quickly joined the call, "Hello?"

I heard the sweetness of her voice ring through the phone. 

"Hey." I yawned. 

"Holy crap. You sound tired" She giggled into her mic. 

"Your sleepy voice is kinda cute." I blushed at her words. 

"Thanks, But, yours is cuter." I looked at the time. 

"It's 2:45 am here. How about you?" I set my phone up on a pillow. 

"Same. I was getting ready for bed but calling you is a better idea." 

I chuckled. "You should rest Cici." I heard her softly take a breath. 

"Talking to you is better. I'll get off when you're tired." I thought of something. 

"How old are you, and what is your name?" She sighed. 

"Just call me Cici. I'm not comfortable telling you my name yet. Oh, and I'm 23. My birthday is in 2 days actually." I understood. 

"Then you can just call me Solar and I'm 27. When's your birthday?" 

"April 16th. When's yours"

"April 17th." She gasps. 

"Maybe I'll mail you a birthday present! What do you want?" 

"You." 

I froze and the call went silent. 

"Huh? Did-Did I hear that right?" I thought about what I said. 

"Yes you did. I want you." She was silent. 

"I-" 

"Flustered much?" She didn't say another word. 

"Cici-" The call disconnected and I sat there. Did I upset her? Then I heard Eclipse run upstairs and slam her door.
