Sammy has been awake for a while now.

she couldn’t go back to sleep. even if her eyebags were more prominent than ever. not when her heart was beating so fast it could put a cheetah to shame. seriously, it felt like she was going to sweat.

her girlfriend— gorgeous girlfriend! —was sleeping so soundly in her trembling arms, her breaths gentle against Sammy’s chest. the close proximity was making Sammy’s head spin. How could she handle it when her girlfriend smelled so damn good?

”fuck. fuck. fuck. what am I supposed to do? should I wrap my arms around her? am I supposed to kiss her? what if she wakes up? fuck, she’d probably get weirded out, wouldn’t she?”

Sammy’s eyes darted to the clock— 2:32am—then to the soft light of the street lamp shining into the room, and she instinctively turned Kate’s head away from the window, not wanting the light to disturb her sleep.

the movement made Kate stir slightly, nuzzling her face a little closer to Sammy’s chest.

”fuck!”

Sammy wanted to bang her head against the wall.

”She’s so fucking cute!”
