SM owns. Unbeta'd.


I rub my eyes and look around, groggily seeing Jane still sleeping, naked as the day she was born on my bed. Her blond hair fanned across the pillow.

She's pretty. Really pretty. And I made her come a few times, so I'm pretty sure she's out for a few hours still.

I slowly stretch and head to the bathroom to do my business before grabbing my phone on the nightstand. There's a text message.

Happy Birthday, Edward. I miss you. -B

My smile is instant.

Why thank you, Angelgirl. Sucks we can't hang together this year. -E

Next year, for sure. We'll be turning 21 and we graduate. Cause for celebration. ;) -B

Yes it is. I wouldn't miss is for the world. -E

Then I ask the question I've been itching to. Rose has already filled me in since they talk almost every day. I'm jealous of my sister. She's more her BFF than I am.

So, you and that guy still, you know... -E

Mike? Yeah. We're still together. He's nice. Sweet. -B

Nice and sweet. Something inside makes me stomach tie in knots. Maybe I'm just homesick. She reminds me of home. I want to see her.

It bother me he gets to see her and I don't.

The next question is the most important. It's all that matters.

Are you happy? -E

A few moments pass before she responds.

Yeah. Yeah, I am. -B

Good. Skype next week? -E

I'd like that. :) -B

"Hey, you. You coming to bed? I hate waking up alone."

I turn my head to see Jane all sleepy... and still naked.

The knots are still there in my stomach. But she's happy. It's all that matters.

"Yeah. I'm coming."


A/N: I know. I'm killing you... there's a method, I swear. One or two more before bed... At least the story's living up to its title.
