“Hey,” she whispers as the familiar theme song plays. “Are you still awake?”
“Yes.”
“If I said I wanted you to be my first, what would you say?”
“I’d tell you to go to sleep.” I kiss her hair. “You’ve had a long travel day and you’re just talking.”
“Can I ask you one more thing?”
“Anything.”
“You once said that long distance relationships don’t tend to work out.”
“I said that before getting into one with you.”
“Yeah, well…” She sounds nervous for the first time tonight. “Are you sleeping with other girls?”
“No.” I flip her over to face me and kiss her lips. “My streak of ‘no sex in over a year’ is still going.”
“If I don’t sleep with you soon, will you tell me we’re over?”
I hold back a laugh. “I would never.”
“Why not?”
“Because I like you too fucking much.” I kiss her again. “And you’re without a doubt, the only girlfriend I ever want to have.”

Now that Tatiana was back in his life, my single dose was on the verge of becoming anoverdose.
Being around the two of them for more than an hour was beyond exhausting because they refused to admit what everyone else could so obviously see.
Checking my phone, I made sure I hadn’t misread Madeline’s updated schedule for this week.
Mr. & Mrs. Carter will go on a romantic date in front of the iconic Bellagio fountains.
