“I’m okay baby. How are you?”
“Better now.” I pressed my lips to his, hoping he would relax a little more. I pushed him a little further than we’d gone lately. Actually anything would have been further than we’d gone lately. Physically, since that last time, we’d only kissed a little but it was never more than a quick peck. I know he was trying to be careful and honestly most of the time I wasn’t up to anything more than that, but I missed him that way. The minute I tried to stick my tongue in his mouth he laughed and pulled away.
“Aren’t you tired?” He asked. “You should probably go to sleep.”
“But I’m not tired.” I kissed him again.
“Yes you are.” He smiled against my lips and turned to put out the joint.
“I’m not,” I yawned. We both snuggled down into the covers and I drifted right off to sleep, despite my protests.
I heard Edward’s phone ring, seconds, minutes, hours later. I had no idea. He shot up and immediately answered it.
“Hello?”
I opened my eyes and saw him glance at me.
“Just now?” He rubbed his forehead and cursed. “Okay. Yeah thanks. Bye.” He turned towards me, his face serious. I was still half asleep when he picked me up and pulled me into his arms.
“What’s going on?” I mumbled.
“I have to tell you something.”
