“Does it still take you about a week to stop having bad dreams after scary movies?”
I laughed. “Probably.”
“I guess I’ll be back tonight then.” And with that, he was gone. The trapdoor closed behind him.
I squealed and fell backwards on my bed. Axel was going to be sleeping over every night for the next week? Was this seriously happening? I squealed again.
There was a knock on my door. “Everything okay in there, pumpkin?” my dad asked.
“Everything is perfect!” But I pulled my comforter up just in case he walked into my room. I didn’t want him to see my silk pajamas.
“We gotta head out soon,” he said through the door.
“I’ll be ready in a few minutes!”

My eyes were so dry from last night that I had to wear my glasses to school. Well, had to might have been an exaggeration. Axel liked them. And I liked that he liked them. I figured one day of the old me wouldn’t hurt anything. Besides, I really did only have a few minutes to get ready this morning.
“What happened to you?” Sophie asked.
“What do you mean?”
She gestured around my head.
I laughed. “Nothing.” I’d pulled my hair up into a quick bun too. That was probably what she was referring to.
“Seriously...something is going on. You’re like...glowing.”
Oh. She wasn’t saying I looked bad. She was saying I looked good.
“I haven’t seen you smile this big in ages.”
I hadn’t even realized I was smiling. “I have so much to tell you.”
“Well you have exactly ten minutes until we need to get to Mr. Halifax’s class.”
“Screw me.”
She laughed. “Seriously, what’s up?”
“Well, the kiss thief was definitely jealous all night. He kept texting me during my date. And when I got home, my mom gave me sexy first-time pajamas to use on Jacob. I think.”
“What the hell are first-time pajamas?”
I shrugged. “An old person thing?”
“Maybe. Weird. So are you going to use them with Jacob?”
“Um...no?”
“That sounded more like a question than anything.”
“Well, I already used them.”
Sophie raised her eyebrows. “I need you to say so much more right now.”
I laughed. “The kiss thief asked if I wanted a second opinion on my purchase. So I took pictures in the sexy pajamas and showed him.”
