Don't Leave Me

Chapter 21

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned, taking a peak at my alarm clock on the night stand. 2:34 AM. 

"Hello?" I answered, not looking at the caller ID. 

"Hey babe," Matt's voice beamed on the other end. 

"What do you want?" I groaned, snuggling into the body pillow. "It's 2:30 in the freaking morning,"

"I can't sleep," he informed me. "I miss my Audrey."

"Audrey is tired," I wined, tossing and turning in the sheets. "Let her sleep,"

"But I want to see you," he said. 

"You saw me three hours ago when we were cleaning up from the party." I deadpanned, opening my eyes. 

"I know but now I miss you," He said innocently.

"I'll see you in the morning," I promised. "Come over and we'll get ready for church together."

"I can't wait that long," he declined. "I'm coming over,"

"What, no," I whisper-screamed. "My parents would kill you."

"Totally worth it," he deadpanned.

"Don't you dare-" I tried.

 "See you soon,"

I sighed and hung up. I am a pregnant woman and need her sleep. I don't have time for his crazy games at three in the morning.

"Scoot over," he wined, gently shoving at my body pillow. "You have a king size bed for one person,"

"My bed," I groaned, scooting over for him. "Go home to your bed."

"But I want to share your bed," 

I let out a groan, rolling over on my side. I cannot get comfortable for the life of me.

"You okay?" 

"Shh," I whispered."Let me sleep,"

He slightly chuckled, planting a kiss on my forehead. 

"You're cute when you do that," 

"What?" I deadpanned.  "Sleep?"

"That too," he laughed. "No it's cute when you scrunch your nose when you can't get comfortable,"

"Shut up," I whispered. "I want sleep. We have to be up in less than three hours,"

"Oh shit," he shook his head. "It's already 4:00 in the morning?"

"Yes now hush,"

He laughed again, snuggling closer to me. These babies don't want Mommy to get any rest.

"I can't sleep," I groaned, sitting up. Reaching over to my night stand, I flipped on my lamp. "This sucks,"

"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting up as well. "You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine," I shrugged. "Just can't sleep with these babies moving around."

I pulled up my shirt and gently rubbed my belly. 

"You need anything?" He asked. "Water, a snack, anything?"

I thought about it for a minute. "Can you go in the bathroom and grab me one of the lotions out of the bin?"

"Sure," he nodded, kissing my cheek.

"Thank you," I sand, smiling cheekily at him.

He got up and went into the bathroom, turning the light on.
