The screen lit up with her face the second she picked up, like she'd been waiting.
"Babe," she drawled, leaning back in bed with her hoodie slipping just enough to show one bare shoulder. "Miss me already?"
I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to sound casual but feeling way too obvious. "Uh… you're still coming over tonight, right?"
Her brows lifted slightly, a slow smile curling her lips. "Why, Kai? You lonely?"
"I just—" I shrugged, avoiding her eyes on the screen. "It's… quiet here."
"Mhm. Quiet." She tilted the phone so I could see more — her legs stretched out, one knee peeking from under the hoodie. "You mean you want me there."
"Something like that," I muttered.
She smirked like she'd just been handed the keys to a kingdom. "You know," she said, leaning closer to the camera, "if I came over right now… I'd make sure you weren't quiet for long."
My throat went dry. "Oh?"
