I’m not a fan of Lola’s scratchy couch. After spending a few hours club-hopping with Fiona and her friend, I was happy to make it back to the tiny apartment in one piece. I’m a bit drunk. Fi, the lucky bitch, is sharing Lola’s bed, though from the heavy snoring I hear through the door, maybe she isn’t so lucky.
I sigh, rubbing my eyes as I try to force myself to relax. I miss my bed.
My phone buzzes, vibrating loudly on the hardwood floor. I reach down, snatching it up, hoping the noise didn’t wake anyone. I’m about to silence my texts altogether when I see Lincoln’s name light up the screen.
Lincoln
Hey Sunshine, you up?
I stare at the message for a beat, knowing I shouldn’t respond. I’m definitely too drunk and should wait until morning.
“Fuck it,” I mutter.
Asshole. Did you seriously text me like some sort of horny teenager?
Lincoln
Yes. And?
And, it’s weird. If you’re looking for a booty call, try Serenity.
Lincoln
Nah, tried that. Not really my type.
And I am?
My heart is pounding, I watch the three dots appear and disappear several times before he replies.
Lincoln
I never said that. Where are you?
In bed.
Lincoln
Liar. I’m at your dorm. You’re not here.
“The fuck…?” I breathe.
What? Why are you at my dorm?
Lincoln
Why aren’t you here?
Answer my question first.
Lincoln
I came over to talk.
I’m in Seattle with Fiona.
Lincoln
Do you always run from your problems?
