Bad News

After a long day hanging out in the warm weather, gazing at the beautiful glowing lights that were draped along the fences and benches, and riding the festival attractions, Joe, Caspar and I decided to head home around 10 p.m. We called an Uber, Caspar and I taking the back row and Joe taking the passenger seat in the front. 

I sighed, finally being able to sit down after standing for what seemed like an eternity in the hot sun. I was definitely going to be sunburned tomorrow. I leaned my head on Caspar's shoulder and let my eyes wander to the window as we passed the dimly lit buildings. Caspar snaked his arm around my waist and played with my fingers, but he was also silent, obviously as tired as I was. 

Soon, we made it to the train station and I grabbed my bag from the seat next to me and followed Joe towards the platform. My feet hurt from all the walking and Caspar could tell how tired I was after the long day. 

He took my bag off my shoulder and slipped his hand in mine, brushing his thumb against the back of my hand softly.

We boarded the train silently and took our seats. I closed my eyes, leaning my head on Caspar's shoulder.

"Marley," I opened my eyes to Caspar shaking me awake gently. I looked around and saw people slowly getting off the train. I checked my phone, the time said 10:40 pm. I yawned, I must have dozed off on his shoulder. The rain was pattering hard on the ground outside. 

I stood up and took my bag from Caspar and got off the train. We all waited for our Uber under a small overhang outside the station. The cool night air caused goosebumps to rise on my skin and I shivered. Caspar slung his arm around my shoulder and kissed the side of my head as our Uber arrived. We all loaded into the car and went home, barely saying a word as all of us were beat after the day in the hot sun. 

As soon as we got home, I slumped down on my bed, kicking off my boots. I stretched my feet out, sighing softly. I stood up, wincing as my heels hit the floor because they were so sore, and stripped my clothes off, changing into a tank top and shorts. 

I jumped as I heard a knock on my door and I opened it, happy to see Caspar's smile paired with tired eyes. He was shirtless and had a pair of loose shorts on. I could see the rim of his Calvin Klein underwear just under the waist of his shorts.

"Can I sleep with you tonight? My room's cold." He laughed at his own words, realizing how funny he sounded. I laughed quietly.

"Cold, is it?" I teased, opening the door more to let him in. "Sure, that's fine." He smiled and belly-flopped onto my bed, yawning and stretching himself out. I sighed and plugged in my phone, setting it on the nightstand.

"Move over," I laughed as I lifted his arm off my pillow and crawling under the covers. He joined me in the cozy sheets, snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me closer so that my back was pressed against his chest. He leaned closer, pressing his lips to the back of my ear.

"I totally would be making out with you right now but I'm exhausted," He whispered, his voice rough and his breath tickling my cheek. I smiled and moved closer to him.

"That's okay, me too." I sighed, rolling over to face him and pressing my face into the crook of his neck. He reached behind me and turned off the lamp next to the bed, kissed my forehead, and fell asleep with me.

Luckily, I had the day off and I got to sleep in. I woke up around 9, Caspar was still asleep. I yawned and removed myself from the crook of his neck and picked up my phone.
