A blaring ringtone wakes me up from the deep sleep I was just consumed in.

I want to fucking throw my phone against the wall, as I was enjoying the sleep I was finally getting, but I realized it was an unfamiliar ringtone. It must've been Bil's phone.

Staying put in my position on the bed, I feel her body shift. She once had her head on my chest and my arm was around her, but she rolls to face the nightstand that her phone was vibrating against. I strangely miss the warmth her presence was providing me a few seconds ago.

She doesn't even notice that my eyes are open since I haven't moved yet.

"Hello?" Her slightly raspy voice says, making me smile a little. I can obviously tell she just woke up.

I can't fully make out what the voice on the other end was saying, but it was definitely a deep, male voice. This led my smile to disappear unintentionally.

She sits up against the headboard. "Yeah, baby, I'm coming tonight. You'll be there too?" Her voice perks up at the end of that statement.

Baby? Is she dating someone?

"Aw, really? I can't wait to see you, it feels like it's been forever." The smile on her face grows wider. "Two days is a long time to me. I miss the fuck outta you."

"Alright, love. See you soon." My eyebrows furrow and I can feel repulsive feelings of jealousness coming on.

I keep having to remind myself to chill out around this girl. It's been less than a day of being around her and someone else having her already makes my stomach churn.

"Fuck you for having such a loud ass ringtone." I joke, ignoring the twisting inside my gut. "I was finally sleeping."

She chuckles down as my eyes meet hers from below. Her piercing blue eyes always manage to suck me in as I admire how effortlessly beautiful she looks. "Dang, good morning to you too."

"It's fucking 6:30." I deadpan, staring at the nightstand on the other side of her. "We've slept for almost twelve hours, don't you think that's weird?"

"I think it's the perfect time to take a nap before Dani's kickback." I hear her mutter before she lays back down under the duvet, her face inches from mine.

I scoff at her. "I think the fuck not. How can you sleep this much in one day?"

"I've had so much shit I've done these past few days, I'm just catching up on missed hours." She tells me, and I finally realize what she meant. She looks tired, her eyes had slight bags under them. "Besides, I like sleeping with people. It's so comforting."

"With random strangers..." I trail off as a grin appears on her face.

"Fuck off, you took this random stranger to your home in the first place." She jokes.

Her smile is so fucking cute, I just can't stop thinking about how adorable she looks. It's almost like a nervous smile, and it's making me soft as hell right now. Even her lips are looking amazing. Why does her face have to be so fucking perfect?

"Jay?" She calls out. "What's wrong?"

Fuck, I did it again. "I'm just thinking about how glad I am your boyfriend woke us up or we might've slept through the kickback," I tell her, sitting up on the headboard so I won't be tempted to gawk over her like an idiot.

"He's not my boyfriend..." I can see a blush start to form, causing the strange feeling in my stomach to reappear. Fucking hell.

"Yeah, tell that to the wide ass smile you had when he called and that cute little blush on your face now." I tease her, trying to cover how I actually feel.
