One Heart (One Kiss Book 2)

02. Sleepover

Haley

"How are things back home?" Drew asks me, after the waiter takes our order.

We are at a beautiful Italian restaurant, just the two of us. It has been a while.

Home has not been the same without Drew. It feels empty. However, I had plenty of time to get to know my father better.

"We all miss you."

"How's my mom?"

"She's good. She misses you."

"What about your father? You told me he found a job. How's it going?"

Even with his criminal record, he found a job working as a plumber.

"So far so good. He's very happy about being more independent when it comes to money. He wants to save money and get a place. He... He asked me to go live with him."

His face turns serious. "Will you go live with him eventually?"

"I don't think so. Besides, your mom is still my legal guardian."

He nods slowly, looking slightly relieved.

The waiter brings our food and we eat in silence until he speaks again.

"Are you going back home tonight?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Would you like to stay for the night?"

"You mean sleep in your dorm? Is that even allowed?"

He shrugs.

"I didn't bring anything with me."

"I have a spare toothbrush and you can borrow my clothes."

"Okay. I will let your mom know."

Drew gives me his spare toothbrush to brush my teeth. He also gives me a pair of his sweatpants and black T-shirt. I change in the bathroom.

"Are you okay in those?" he asks me, when I emerge from the bathroom.

"Yes, they're comfortable. And they smell like you." I love his musky smell.

He smirks. "Let's get you to bed." He takes my hand and leads me to his dorm, to his bed.

On the way to the dorm, many guys give me certain looks and wink at me. Drew flips them off and puts his arm around my waist to show them they should back off.

"Are you tired?" Drew asks when we are both lying in his bed.

"Kinda." It has been a long day.

"Can we at least make out for a bit?"

I move on top of him and he lets me. We start with a soft, tender kiss which turns into a passionate one.

---

A loud thud wakes me up. Drew wakes up too.

"What was that sound?" I whisper to Drew.

I hear some sloppy sounds too.

"Phil brought another girl," he whispers back.

"This happens every night?"

He nods. "Yeah."

"Must be annoying." I feel sorry for him.

"You have no idea."

"How do you sleep?"

"I think of you."
