Me: Hi handsome. I was just thinking about you.

Matthew: I miss you. I wish you were here.

Me: I know, but we can’t, Matthew. Your sister is there, and I’m on duty, you know that.

Matthew: I just can’t stop thinking about you in my bed, and I want you back in it.

Me:Fuck, Matthew.

Me: When does your sister leave again?

Matthew: Saturday.

Me: Not soon enough.

Matthew: I’ll see you tomorrow, baby.

Me: You better.

Me: See you tomorrow. <3

When I fell asleep that night, it was with Matthew’s face in my mind, imaging his strong arms pulling me in close, making me feel safe and secure in his hold.

I just hoped that feeling would last.
