You’re on the verge of falling asleep when your phone buzzes on the nightstand. With a stifled yawn, you reach over to your nightstand and retrieve your phone. You rub your eyes and glance at the screen, trying to adjust to the brightness. Your girlfriend’s name appears multiple times in your notifications, accompanied by a few texts.

Tara❤️: Are you up? I miss you.

Tara❤️: I want you.

Tara❤️: I’m on the verge of sprinting down the street to your place lol

Tara❤️: I may or may not have lied and already be outside your door..

As your thumbs hover over the keys, ready to type out a reply, the sound of soft knocking jolts you out of your thoughts. A soft giggle escapes you when you realize that Tara really wasn’t joking. Abandoning your phone, you spring out of bed and head towards the door, excitement coursing through your veins.
