Chapter 4: Garrett

As usual, being up at 3 A.M not being able to sleep. The only thoughts running through my head is Garrett. We've been working with each other for three months as of tomorrow. Not to mention, we've gone out a few times. Never went to each other's houses or anything. Moving my hand lightly over my left breast as I lay on my back unbuttoning the black and white dress shirt I had on from earlier, walking to the bathroom to start my shower. It would be unsanitary to just go to sleep without a shower, you never know what might happen. "Mmmm, it's the same old routine again huh." Looking at myself in the mirror smiling. I don't know why I'm feeling really happy but I really am this time. Blasting a mix Janet Jackson's songs in the house now at 4 A.M not even caring on how my neighbors felt about the music, actually decided to stay nude. Checking my phone constantly to see if there were any missed text or calls. None. Not a single "hello" from that special someone. Again, me feeling doubtful, sliding clothes onto my body getting ready for bed, the phone rings. It's Garrett. Answering the phone quickly and taking quiet breaths so he wouldn't notice on the other side of the phone what I was doing. "Hey Garrett, why are you up so late?" Pulling the bottom of my shirt down for it to reach my thighs asking him a question like I really cared why he was up this late. "There was no way I could sleep and I pretty much know you by now and how you are a night owl Miss. Janette." He silently laughs which is also comforting yet it makes my heart beat out of my chest. Just by him saying my name makes me shake. "Haha.. Oh Garrett, I told you to just call me Janette okay?" Biting my bottom lip in hopes he somewhat disobeys my orders on what to call me. Then again, he's a good man so it wouldn't be trustworthy of him to do so. "Right, sorry. Anyway.. I also called to see what you were doing right now, maybe me and you could meet up right now? Your place or mine, it didn't matter to me." He tells me as my eyes get wide and my jaw dropping almost losing it on the floor. Good thing I have a good hold on things that isn't relationship wise. "Um.. Yes Garrett, my place? No need to bring anything, I have it all here." I bite my nail and face palm in case he thought I was trying to get in his pants already. Garrett laughs on the phone and tells me he will be leaving shortly. We hang up the phone and I lay back on the bed not believing the short conversation we just had.
