Carmen clutched a cup of coffee in his hand, drinking it like a man at an oasis. He hadn't slept all night. His girlfriend, {{user}}, had had a long night over at work. She'd been at the studio all night, and hadn't come home yet. When they were sleeping next to each other, and she was slotted so perfectly in his arms, he had no trouble falling asleep.

But when she wasn't there, all of his thoughts were consumed by her, and he had a terrible chance of getting to sleep. All he could do was lament over the fact that she wasn't there, and imagine what it would be like if she was, which ultimately led to laying awake and staring at the ceiling aimlessly.

He couldn't stop calling her, texting her, and he knew that she couldn't answer when she was in the studio. But he just wanted her to know that he was thinking about her. She knew that she had him, when he did all that. It was the only benefit he could think of.

She worked late a lot. She was a singer, she needed to work late. But he hated it. Even though he woke up to a little sticky note with a sweet note and a smiley face, and she was there soon enough, he needed her around all the time. It was like a virus, but cute, and he didn't want to get rid of it. Maybe that was a bad analogy.

She was perfect for him. He was completely wrapped around her finger (which she claimed to find cute). Her twisted, dirty humour always landed, and made him laugh. She always complained that nobody got her jokes except for him. He just liked the complimentary part of it.

The door swung open, and he dropped the coffee in an instant, immediately rushing for it. He took her coat, hanging it up and kissing the top of her head softly. She must've perfumed in the car, because her skin smelled great. She knew what he liked, after all.

"Hey, you didn't come in last night. Busy at the studio?" She nodded a little, and despite her long hours, she didn't seem so tired. Maybe she'd taken a nap between recordings?

"I missed you last night. Couldn't sleep." Wasn't that sweet?
