Match Made in Quarantine

40. Day Twenty

When morning came, I grunted in disapproval of the rising sun. Where was an eclipse when you needed it?

My body felt sore but I also felt content, and had zero regrets. Maddox lightly snored next to me, lying on his stomach with one arm thrown over me. He was very much unbothered by the sunlight that streamed through his window, unlike me who regretted falling asleep before closing the curtains. Then again, it had been a long night.

A light blush colored my cheeks as I recalled what happened between us, and I turned to look at his sleeping face with a cheesy grin. One part of me wanted to wake him up, but seeing him with such a peaceful and content look on his face made it impossible to act on those naughty urges. Instead, I reached for my phone, trying to maneuver away from Maddox's arm without waking him.

To my surprise, it was almost ten in the morning, and my phone had been bombarded by missed calls and texts. Casting one last glance at the sleeping beauty, I wiggled myself out of bed, and quietly left his room.

The missed calls were from my mom and sister, but when I called them back there was no reply. The text from my sister however, made it clear that it wasn't an emergency — they were excited about the quarantine ending and were going for a nature hike.

I shook my head, making some much needed coffee and went back to scrolling through my notifications.

Next was a text from Luna and, as always, it made me laugh out loud.
