“Umm…I don’t think…” I protested as I scooted away further onto the bed in my panic.
To my further surprise, Hayden began laughing at me and that was when I realized that he must have pulled a joke on me. Not that I found it very funny; however, I was very relieved that he didn’t insist on going for another round tonight.
In the end, I fell asleep in Hayden’s arms from exhaustion, and I didn’t remember anything else about that night. The next morning, nothing woke me up until I started stirring in my sleep on my own. My body decided that it had had enough rest and wanted to wake up. Precisely because of that, I woke up late and by the time that I sat up in bed, Hayden was no longer there by my side. Panicking a little, I got out of bed and went looking for him.
He was no where to be found and the time displayed on the clock hanging on the wall explained why. It was almost noon! Honestly, I was shocked at how much I had overslept.
‘Are you awake, sleepyhead?’
