It took a cold late evening shower and some late-night tv talk shows to help rid me of my sexual frustrations and encourage sleep to come. I didn't fall back asleep till the early hours of the morning.

I must have gotten three to four hours of sleep total.

To say I was exhausted when I woke up for school was an understatement.

I wanted to just fake sick to my parents; curl up in my bed, snuggle in the warm covers and drift back to sleep. I was so tempted to but one thing kept me from doing it, kept me motivated to get up and face another day, the fact that Edward would be there.

So with tired eyes and limbs I sluggishly made my way out of bed and threw on the first thing I could find, half asleep not caring what anyone else thought.

In that moment there were only two things occupying my mind, Edward and my bed. The idea of the combination of the two was very distracting and appealing at the same time.

"There you are." Alice said, walking over to me as I opened my locker to retrieve my school books.

"Please Alice, no cheerfulness. It's too early for your hyper ways." I mumbled grumpily.

Her smile vanished when she noticed my mood.

"What's with you today, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?" She teased, pinching one of my cheeks.

"Alice, please, I'm begging you. I have had very little sleep, I have a test in my history class this morning and your cheerfulness is rubbing me the wrong way, I'm about to snap." I warned.

"Geez, okay, fine. I'll shut up." She replied, gesturing that her lips were sealed.

"Thank you." I voiced, letting out a sigh in relief.

I loved Alice to death. She was one of my best friends but sometimes her sunny ways and talkative self could be quite annoying, especially when your day was off to a bad start.

I could only take her cheery ways in small portions.

"So, umm…is your brother here today?" I asked, trying to act casual.

Alice gave me a small smile and pointed to her lips reminding me she wasn't talking anymore.

"Oh really, Alice? You could at least nod, use some form of body language to answer the question." I said somewhat annoyed at her playful ways.

She pointed down the opposite hall before giving me a wave signaling she was heading off to her morning class.

She can be so weird sometimes.

I peeked down the hall Alice had pointed to not so long ago to find Edward walking towards me, we locked eye briefly before he drew his head down, clinging his books to his chest.

A smile spread to my face as I realized he was wearing the green shirt I picked out for him the other day.

He is too cute.

"Heading to class?" I asked, trying to get his attention off the floor.

His eyes met mine again as he stopped a couple feet in front of me.

"Yeah, you?"

"Yup, I didn't get much sleep last night. Someone thought it would be amusing to tease me and leave me hanging." I voiced accusingly, giving him an Irritated smile.

Edward's cheeks filled with color as he gave a sheepish grin in return.

"Well… you tease me with your touches and words. I thought it was only fair."

I arched am eyebrow, intrigued by his thoughts.

I leaned forward whispering in his ear. "Fair? Hardly. Fair would be if there was some satisfaction relief in the end, not a cold shower."

Edward gasped at my words and I grinned somewhat pleased I had such an effect on him. I left him standing stunned in the hallway as the bell rang for class.
