Page 6 of Drown in You

Ten

Gotta lay off the booze. My buddies are getting sick of me telling them how much I love them every week.

Sienna

Is everyone in your phone subjected to this torment?

Ten

My professor is filing for a restraining order as we speak.

Sienna

You know what helps me sleep?

Ten

What?

Sienna

Smutty books.

In my sweats, my cock twitches. The only books I read are nonfiction, but part of me can’t help but want to open up whatever smutty books keep her company at night. I miss her selfies now that she’s deleted all her social media and wiped her existence from the internet. The photos snapped in pretty little summer dresses and shorts that cut off just below her ass.

She still hasn’t told me why she expunged her existence from the internet. What happened that drove her into hiding.

Just felt like I wanted to start living my life unplugged.

That’s the first time I ever suspected she was lying to me. I haven’t been able to shake off the gnawing feeling since.

Ten

I would’ve thought only boring books would help you sleep.

Sienna

Smutty books solve all problems. Seriously, though. Need me to sing you to sleep?

My heart skips, even though I know this is just another one of Sienna’s jokes. We’ve never talked on the phone, and we never will.

Ten

Would you do it if I said yes?

Sienna

Absolutely not. I have a terrible singing voice.

Ten

That’s my favorite kind to fall asleep to.

Sienna

You’re funny. Put on one of those boring nonfiction audiobooks you like to listen to and I’m sure you’ll be out in no time.
