A Little Bit of Everything and Everyone

Nap (James Maslow)

After a long morning of classes and projects and presentations, nothing sounds better than cuddling in bed and sleeping for the rest of the afternoon. The coffee I drank this morning is already completely out of my system and it's taking all I have not to fall asleep on the drive home. Being a Social Work major is tough.

"I'm home!!!" I call as I walk through the door of my apartment I share with my boyfriend James.

"In the kitchen!" he yells back. I hang my keys up and kick off my flip flops before finding him. He's sitting at the counter with his laptop open in front of him. He smiles at me as I walk in and pass him to grab a bottle of water from the fridge.

"How was your morning?" he asks as he types. I shrug.

"Long. Exhausting. But I got my presentation done in Psych and turned in my project for Sociology."

"Two less things to do now," James says smiling at me. I smile back.

"Yeah, but it took all I had not to fall asleep on the way home. I'm so tired." I set my water bottle back in the refrigerator and swing my arms around James. I watch him work, typing out emails and doing music stuff. I yawn.

"I'm going to take a nap for three, maybe four days," I joke. James laughs.

"Okay, I'll wake you up when it's dinner time," he says, still looking at his computer.

"You can join me if you want," I tell him as I start to walk away.

"I would but I have work to finish. You go, get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up," he says. I walk to our bedroom, changing out of my jeans and into sweatpants and a t-shirt. I fall into bed with my phone and scroll through Twitter. Then Instagram. I see my boyfriend is doing a live stream and I open it up. His bright smile fills my screen.

"So yeah, touring, new music, some movies, all this stuff is in the works along with a bunch more. Yes, I see that Anabelle is in here. Hello, wonderful girlfriend." I grin to myself and type something into the comments.

"Anabelle if you leak one of my new songs I'm breaking up with you," James says as he reads my comment. I laugh.

"'Where is Anabelle?' she's in the bedroom. I thought she was napping, but apparently not," James says.

'I can't nap without you here to rub my back until I fall asleep' I type. Fans immediately start flipping out saying how cute we are and telling James to come nap with me. I smile to myself as I see him reading these  comments.

'Everyone tell James to come and nap with me, he'll listen to you' I write. The comments start flooding in and I watch James read them.

"Okay, if you all really want me to go I will," he says.

'Don't act like you don't want to pal' I type. I see him grin as he continues to read comments.

"Okay, well since my girlfriend has gotten almost all of you to tell me to get off and go nap, I will leave you all for the time being. Keep an eye out for new covers on YouTube and an ear out for new originals on Spotify and iTunes. I love you all! Bye," James says. A moment later the live video ends. I turn my phone off and cuddle into my blanket.

The mattress sinks down with his weight but I don't turn to look at him. He rubs my arm and I feel his breath on my neck.

"Anabelle, are you sleeping?" he asks. I nod with my eyes still shut.

"Liar," he says. I can hear the smile in his voice. I flip over to face him and that smile meets my eyes. I snuggle into him and he wraps his arms around me.

"Will you rub my back?" I ask. James' fingers start moving on top of my tanktop.

"I knew you loved me," I say as my eyelids start to droop. I feel James laugh.

"I thought you were exhausted?" he says. A yawn escapes my lips.

"I am," I say as I move to lay my head on his chest. I let my eyes shut and fall asleep cuddling into my boyfriend.
