NILE
❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉
My eyes slowly open up to the chirp of the birds in the morning.
The first thing I saw was Kiiara.
She was sleeping on her stomach and her head was away from me but her short hair was sprawled out.
I was extremely comfortable.
Probably because I slept good.
Because Kiiara was here.
Confused on the timing I check my phone.
7:01am
Shit.
I was supposed to wake up around 5-6 so no one sees me.
Not that I was embarrassed but I didn't want questions asked.
My eyes look to her sleeping.
She was worried about her pain and I felt horrible. She got beaten up and now this?
I get up from the bed slowly and wipe my eyes.
I look at her again.
It's a weird feeling, honestly.
We are new friends yet we have shared a bed like 5 times already.
And the thing is, it feels like normal.
It felt good to sleep beside her.
I actually.....preferred it.

7:50
I went to the gym for a quick weight lifting session, showered and now was at my desk for some work.
I got a late start to the day which means I'll end later.
I sigh.
But being able to sleep alongside Kiiara it's worth it.
I answer a phone call and then busy myself in emails that I got overnight.
You wouldn't believe how many I get.
Mid writing my phone rings again and I glance at it.
I'll answer after this.
When I look at the ID I answer, I always try to make time for my good mates.
"Francesco."
"Morning boss. And bestie. Don't let Gabriel here that."
I laugh.
"How's the mission going?"
"A headache. We get new information on the packages almost every night and we need to shift our plan but it's getting close to being finished."
"Good."
I knew him and he was stalling for time. "What happened?"
"Nothing I um, just wanted to say that..."
He stops talking.
