I get back to my house and I fall into bed exhausted. Knowing I have to do homework and then go to work at Vixens forces me to get back up and start my homework. Not only do I have to teach myself three different lessons in four classes, I still have to pull a double shift including overtime. About five hours later, six cans of Pepsi, four pieces of pizza and one hand cramp, I finish my homework. I get my clothes and go to take a shower. With the hot water running down me, I almost forget my life and fall asleep in the shower.I finish and dry myself off, putting the towel on the rack and slipping into some work clothes. I get to work at about 10 and start mixing drinks. Party girl from last week does not make an appearance but someone else does, Her. I see her and while I  ignore her for a few hours, I eventually am forced to call it a night when she starts begging for another drink. I take her into my car and as we drive, she leans over and tries to unbuckle my belt and undo my pants. After a brief struggle that nearly ended in driving into a telephone pole, I carry her, bridal style, to my room where she falls asleep almost immediately. Knowing her parents will have a heart attack if she does not text, I grab her phone. As I push my thumb into the home button of her iPhone 7 to unlock the phone, I am greeted with a password screen. I tap in 0305, the day and hour of our first kiss. It was her old password and I do not expect it to work. As it opens, I see her background is of us from the day we went on our first date. Pushing pass the shock, I text her mother and lock her phone. I pull the blanket up around her and make myself a bed on the floor. I doze until about two in the morning when I hear her cry in her sleep. Knowing what to do, I get up and join her in my bed, comforting and relaxing her in her sleep. In the past, we would fall asleep in calls and I learned how to calm her down and keep her from waking her parents. I brush away the hair from her eyes, marveling on her lips and face. Tempted to kiss her, I lean in but decide not to. It would be a bad idea and lead to problems later. I settle for kissing her cheek and fall asleep, with her in my arms once more. For one more night...
