look awful!”
    “ Thanks, dad! I’m just tired, I’m off to try and get an early night. Night you two.” I climbed the stairs slowly, willing my feet to carry me to my bed. “You still there?”
    “ You going to bed now?”
    “ I need sleep so bad” I whined as I stifled a yawn.
    “ Yeah me too; I’m just about to go up to bed.” I heard him stretching out.
    “ I’m just getting changed then getting in.”
    “ Getting changed huh? What are you wearing?”
    “ You are such a perv!” he laughed “Right now… Nothing…” I liked how teasing him was becoming my new favourite thing to do. I smiled as I pulled on some shorts and a t-shirt.
    “ Urgh, why did I have to ask that?”
    “ Because you want me” I smirked. “And I want you too” I whispered to him.
    “ I really wish I could come for a goodnight kiss again.”
    “ Jamie, we both know you’ll never leave if you do. I’ll send you one!” I stifled another yawn. A question flashed in my mind that I really needed to get off my chest before I fell asleep. “Can I ask you something?”
    “ Of course”
    “ I want- erm- do you-” I huffed frustrated with myself and pulled the duvet over my face to hide myself; from no one I realised as I was on the phone and pushed it back down again.
    “ Liv? What is it?”
    “ It’s just something you said in class today and I realised we never actually discussed something. Although I don’t think you’d be talking to me now if you did and last night wouldn’t have happened either if you did. I just- I don’t know, we just never asked each other and-”
    “ Just say it, Liv.” I took a deep breath preparing myself to ask him.
    “ Do you… have a girlfriend?”
    “ Yes” was all he answered and I couldn’t think of anything more to say than ‘oh’. “Well, I hope I do. I guess I should have asked her first.” He chuckled. “You see, there’s this really beautiful girl that I’ve had my eye on for a while” I smiled and felt the inside of my chest swell. “I can’t stop thinking about her. The way she looks; she is so beautiful. She has the greenest eyes and longest and softest hair imaginable, I love the way it slips through my fingers when I kiss her. I love the way she moves.” He groaned and sighed before lowering his voice in a way that I knew he was as turned on as I was. “Oh God, she has the most fantastic hips that sway her sexy little arse when she walks. I love the way she talks… How the edges of her lip curve up into a sexy smile whenever she speaks to me, even when she just looks at me, it drives me crazy. I think I’d be the luckiest guy on the planet if she’d agree to be my girlfriend.”
    “ You really think so?” I asked smiling like an idiot.
    “ Mmm hmm, I do.”
    “ Well I don’t think she really sounds all that , if I’m honest.”
    Jamie chuckled at me. “You just don’t know her like I do, she’s incredible.”
    “ Well, good for you I guess… Maybe you should grow a pair and ask her.”
    “ Me? Grow a pair?” He laughed hard. “I guess you’re right; I should hang up and call her, shouldn’t I? I’ll see you tomorrow Miss Stevens. Goodnight.”
    He hurried off the phone not giving me a chance to say goodnight to him , making me think he’d call me right back. But he didn’t. I huffed and sighed, tossed and turned looking at my phone every couple of seconds. I leaped out of bed and began pacing my bedroom floor waiting. For fifteen minutes I stomped around my room, straightening books, picture frames, pens, anything that stopped me from thinking about why Jamie hadn’t called me right back.
    Oh God … What if he really did like someone else and they were talking right now? How could I be such an idiot? How could I show him what I felt for him when he wants someone else? I bet he’d been laughing at me so hard the entire time. How could I let myself go with him? “Idiot, idiot, IDIOT! ” I slapped the palm of my hand on my forehead
