The alarm sounded off. I stirred a little and sat up. I woke Brooke up too, apparently.
“Please stay?” She whispered.
I looked into her eyes.
I really haven’t been a good boyfriend lately…why not.
I laid back down and put an arm around her stomach.
“Thanks.” She murmured.
I wanted to say “no problem.” but I just slid over closer to her, and rested my head in the nape of her neck.
A couple of hours later.
I really had to go, but this was so much better. Just laying here and sleeping with Brooke was the best.
My bosses where going to be so mad, but I had a ton of sick days saved up anyway.
So for today, no getting up inhumanly early, no white lights, no ties, no traffic, and no failed pep talks.
I fell asleep again, wondering how Parker was doing.
