Page 57 of Breathing Without You

“Are you okay?” his voice a slight panic. “What’s wrong, Sugar?” He leans up onto his right elbow, leaning over to look down at me.

“I’m okay, just a little nauseous from all the alcohol and hung over, that’s all I think. I’ll be okay if I get some more sleep,” I tell him as I stretch my head up and kiss his soft lips.

“I’m sorry baby, do you need anything?” His sleepy voice comes out raspy and it’s sexy and cute at the same time.

“That’s sweet of you but I’m okay, babe. I just need to go back to sleep for at least another hour or so.” I yawn as my eyes start to feel heavy again.

“Alright, Sugar, go back to sleep. Love you.” He leans down and kisses me, then goes back to snuggling me with his face in the crook of my neck.

“I love you, you handsome, handsome man.” I snuggle the rest of my body close to his, draping my legs over his before closing my eyes and drifting off.

I wake up to feeling a chill at my back where Creedence is no longer at. I turn over and see he’s not in the bed anymore and roll onto my back wondering where he went and sad he didn’t wake me. I look over at my phone and see I fell back asleep for an hour and twenty minutes which I hate. I feel like I wasted my morning. I’m usually up pretty early especially when I have to work at noon because I like to have some time to myself before work, but I guess I needed the sleep especially after all those nasty shots last night. I look at my phone again and see I have a text from Creedence.

Creedence

Morning, Sugar, I didn’t want to wake you because you looked so peaceful and gorgeous sleeping, but I had a last minute appointment at the shop, it was a walk in and I didn’t want to pass it up. Text me when you wake up, feel free to stay as long as you need to before work. Oh also yes I did kiss you goodbye before I left before you get upset. Love you.

Emerald

Morning handsome, I miss you already. Thank you for the sweet text and the goodbye kiss. Love you.

Emerald

hope your day is going well too.

I head into the kitchen to find something to eat and settle on some toast with jelly and some coffee hoping that’ll at least help the nauseous feeling in my stomach. I don’t feel as terrible as I did the first time I woke up but my stomach is still very upset.

After I eat, I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower, that way it’s one less thing I have to do when I head tomy house to change. We don’t have a uniform at Lisa’s Diner as long as we wear work appropriate clothing that’s all she cares about. I settled on a plain pink T-shirt with a pair of black leggings that I had left at Creed’s house that he washed for me. I decide to wear my hair up in a messy ponytail with my pink scrunchie that Creedence got me, something to feel close to him with during my long shift and my black converse. I walk outside and sit down on the porch to put my shoes on and check my phone to see if Creedence has texted me back yet.

Creedence

God I miss you so much, Sugar. I can’t wait to wrap my arms around you. Love you baby.

Creedence

my day is good, probably got another hour here then I’m done for the day, maybe I’ll come up and have some lunch at the Diner, does that sound good?

Emerald

I can’t wait to be in your arms babe, I feel like it’s been days since I’ve seen you and it’s only been a few hours lol.

Emerald

that would be perfect. I know seeing you would make my day and my shift a hell of a lot better. I’m working with Winter which is great … but I’m also working with Stacy… uhhhhhhh :(

Creedence

That’s how I feel. I’m glad I’m not alone with how obsessed I am with you. I feel like I didn’t just kiss you goodbye this morning.

Emerald

No babe, I’m just as obsessed. I wish I was awake to say goodbye to you…although it was probably a good thing because then I’m sure you would have been late for work lol.

Creedence

Why is Stacy such a nasty person? I feel like the whole Diner dislikes her except for Lisa… but makes me wonder if Lisa truly likes her?
