Chapter 9

I pulled the blanket over my body and took my phone with me.

@machinegunsmoker : u home already?
@machinegunsmoker : reply when u home
@machinegunsmoker : im a little worried
@machinegunsmoker : why the hell cant u reply quickly?
@machinegunsmoker : duh

I smiled at the texts like an idiot teenager that just got her first invitation to prom before opening the conversation and saw that he's online.

@painkiller : do i always need to get hundreds text from u?
@painkiller : i just left my phone for some minutes

@machinegunsmoker : what?
@machinegunsmoker : u want me to be your boyfriend instead?

I laughed a bit at that and started typing again.

I replied to him before toss my phone aside and closed my eyes tight, slowly dozing off to sleep.

His phone chimed in and he looked at the message that just came in. Stood there just one word. And that one word made the corner of his lips went up in delight.

@painkiller : soon!
