Me: please put me down

Him: you shivering. Are you cold?

Me: please just put me down

He placed me inside the covers.

Him: are you cold? Are you coming down with the flu?

I shook my head unable to utter a single word. Please understand that when you afraid of something it does weird stuff to your body and that was me now. my heart was beating out of my chest almost like I was having panic attack

Him: Red talk to me please

Me: I'm scared of heights

He looked at me for a while and then laughed

Him: whoa you serious? I... I'm sorry I didn't know that

Me: of cause you wouldn't know

Him: so that means you afraid of being picked up? I couldn't let you sleep on the floor now. you were going to catch a cold

Me: thanks for caring

Him: but it wasn't even a height

Me: just being in the air or my feet not touching the ground scars me. it makes me feel like I'm having some sort of a panic attack

Him: that's sad

Me: yeah

Him: so does that mean you can't sit on a high chair?

Me: come on. A chair is a chair.

Him: but you said you don't like your feet not touching the floor

Me: I'm too tired to have this talk with you.

Him: did you guys eat?

It then hit me. I didn't make anything to eat and my little sister was probably hungry AF. OH God I'm the worst sister and she was in bed sleeping already

Me: what time is it?

Him: past 11pm. Wait you guys didn't eat?

Me: it totally slipped my mind. I was too busy studying that I forgot

Him: lucky you I brought pizza. Wake the little one up and come eat

I nodded and he walked out. I woke Ivy up which was a struggle but eventually she woke up and we headed downstairs to eat and get to know each other seeing that we lived together.

Him: I'm an accountant and a partner at some accounting firm

Me: so that means you know your accounting right?

Him: top of my class red

Me: great. If you not busy can we look at few things. I kind of got stuck and that's when I fell asleep cause I couldn't crack it

Him: bring your books and let's do this

I ran upstairs and came back with my books. Ivy finished eating and went straight to bed leaving me with Toby. This guy right here knew what he was doing. He wasn't lying by the top of the class statement because he was really smart and he made it all seem like the simplest thing known to men. We slept at 3am in the morning and I was writing at 9am. I was sure going to pass that paper with the help I got last night or should I say this morning. We got to school and he parked in front of the gate.

Him: I won't be available to pick you two up so I got you a driver, her name is Ashlene... she's my PA. here is cash for lunch for the both of ya'll and I will see you guys later. Red, Ace that exam ok!
