chapter XIII -

     Standing there for a moment in silence Julian decided to speak, "I'm going to get ready for bed myself so..."

    "Yeah, yeah you go do that," Kylie laughed.

     Turning away from her he went to the bathroom to change already having left his pajamas in there that morning. While he changed into simply just plaid pajama bottoms, not caring for a shirt, Kylie went ahead and climbed into his bed. When he came back he found Kylie already snugged under the covers with her back turned to him.

     Shaking his head he turned the lamp on by the couch before turning off the main lights. Taking another glance at the curly haired beauty who shifted slightly under the covers he grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laid down. Reaching behind him to turn the floor lamp off.

     Before he could though her melodic voice stopped him, "Julian you know you don't have to sleep on the couch, right?"
    
     He hesitated at taking her up on her offer to lay down with her in the bed. It was so very tempting, but he knew that he couldn't do that.

     "I'm good Kylie, but thanks for the offer anyways," he turned the lights out.

     Kylie was awoken by her phone ringing that morning. Reaching for it beside her she answered.
 
     "Hello?"

     "KYLIE WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" a very familiar voice yelled out through the phone's speaker.

     "Mary, calm down. I'm fine you blithering slut, thanks for asking," Kylie laughed at her sarcastic remark.

     "Can you at least tell me where you are?" She asked.

     "Um, well," Kylie glanced over to the couch to see Julian sound asleep still, "You know that new art teacher?"

     "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!"

     "My ears Mary, my ears. I'll text you the address to pick me up, okay?"

     "You so owe me an explanation," was Mary's last words before she hung up.
