Seven missed calls and fifteen messages. That’s what I woke up to.
The last thing I remember before falling asleep was sorting through boxes, and that was around 11 am. It’s 9 pm now, and I’m just waking up. Dillon’s flight had already landed, and I’m sure he’s sleeping now. I pulled my burner cell and saw messages from Dillon. Someone missed me.
Dillon Xander
I just landed. I miss you.
one attachment* sunset’s as pretty as you are, darling.
I went to sleep and woke up. You still haven’t responded; are you okay?
Me
I slept from 11:30 and just woke up. It’s like nine here. I miss you too. That sunset is gorgeous, and yeah, I’m fine. How was your flight?
Dillon Xander
I got worried, especially because Lucio said he didn’t see you. My flight was good; it would’ve been better with you.
Me:
Seven days need to run by fast. I have nothing but work to do, and that’s not even half of my day. Are you jet-lagged?
Dillon Xander
I am, but I have a late day tomorrow. I’ll be crashing anytime soon, but I couldn’t sleep without speaking to you.
Me
I love you.
Dillon Xander
I love you too.
Me
I’m going to shower. Night night baby.
Dillon Xander
Go and eat as well, good night, precious.
I placed the phone on the charger, grabbed my other phone to listen to some music while I showered.
The need for me to have two phones was stupid, but instead of asking for my number like a normal person, Dillon bought me a brand new iPhone just so I could text him. I’d say he hated the thought of sharing my time with other people, but maybe I was wrong.
Stepping into the steaming hot water, my “lover girl” Spotify playlist was on shuffle. The first song was Dillon and mine, “Paradise” by Bazzi. It represented our love too much. It was fun, intoxicating, and playful. I danced and sang my heart out in the shower to that song.
The morning sun streamed in through my office curtain window, and I reached for my phone to give Dillon a call. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer.
“Hey,” Dillon’s voice came through the phone, slightly groggy.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I am, what’s up?”
“I totally thought you were still in the country until I drove to the office and remembered,” I said with a chuckle.
