It was late and Annie knew she should be in bed sleeping because she had a big test tomorrow but instead she was on her couch staring at her phone, wanting nothing more than to call him and tell him to come over. She typed out a text,
"Want to come over? her eyes scanned her phone and her fingers danced around above her phone, but she couldn't send it. What if he rejected her? Or worse what if he called her a child again? She couldn't handle that again, but she wanted so badly to talk to him, to tell him how she felt, that all those kisses actually meant something to her, that she wanted to be with him, that she loved him.
Annie crossed her bare legs and shivered a bit, her apartment did not have heating of course and in the winter that got kind of annoying. She deleted the text and started again, but this time she sent it .
"Are you awake?"
She watched her phone and waited until he responded
"Yeah" Jeff was always simple and to the point when he texted
"Why are you awake?" Jeff sent another text "don't we have a test tomorrow, i'd have had you pegged to be in bed by 9"
"Well maybe you don't know me very well" Annie added a winky emoji and her heart beat got faster and faster as she nervously waited for his reply
"Oh i think i do" Jeff put the same emoji and Annie settled back down, feeling calmer at the thought that maybe he liked her too, just maybe.
"So what are you doing?" Annie typed out before her phone began to ring and of course it was Jeff. she paused before answering
"Hey" she said with a slight hitch in her voice
"Hey babe" Jeff smirked, she could feel it through the phone and she practically moaned when he called her babe but she restrained herself.
"What are you doing?" Annie asked, her voice barely a whisper
"Just laying in bed" Jeff responded "i was going to bed but now" he paused
"Now what?"
"Well now i'm talking to you" Jeff said with a chuckle "so why are you up so late?" he asked as he looked at his alarm clock and realized it was almost one in the morning.
"Oh i umm couldn't sleep" Annie muttered, wanting to say more but not knowing how
"Why not?" Jeff asked
"Oh" Annie paused not knowing what to say "i don't know" she sighed, feeling like a failure for not telling him the truth.
"Well maybe i can come over" Annie's heart beat got fast and she turned pink at the idea of Jeff in her house at well past midnight "help you relax" Jeff smiled as he spoke those words, knowing exactly what he meant and hoping Annie did too.
Annie could hear her heart beat in her ears and she could see her chest going up and down at a very fast pace, her fingers played in her hair and she let out a small sigh. She wanted more than anything for Jeff to come over but what if he didnt mean it? What if he was kidding and she embarrassed herself?
"Annie?" Jeff breathed out her name
"Jeff" she breathed back "what are you doing?"
"I think you know what i'm doing babe" and there it was again, babe, and Annie could feel herself leaning into the phone wanting to be able to feel him next to her, his breath on her skin.
"Jeff don't joke around with me" Annie said, wanting to come off as confident and assertive but falling short
"I'm being serious"
"What do you want Jeff?" Annie asked, wanting him to tell her exactly what he wanted from her before she took this any further.
"You" Jeff breathed the word into the phone and Annie melted into it "I want you Annie, i want to touch you and kiss you, i want to be inside you Annie" he whispered the last part, slightly worried how she would react to that.
Annie felt herself tighten as Jeff spoke into the phone and she couldn't help the moan that escaped her lips "come over" she said right before she hung up the phone.
