I should get a medal right now.

She opens her eyes.

"Morning," I mumble.

"Hi."

"Sorry to wake you. We need to get going before it gets light out."

"How long until the sun is up?"

"Maybe an hour."

"Oh." She glances at my lips then back to my eyes.

My heart beats so fast I can hear it.

"Do you want to use the bathroom or anything before we go?"

"Maybe later." She kisses me again, and even though my hands hold her firmly, she wiggles her lower body.

She's going to regret this, and then so will you.

I roll her on her back and pull out of the kiss. "I'll go first. We should leave." I peck her and high tail it to the bathroom. After I close the door, I put my hands on the counter and look at my reflection in the mirror.

What did I just do?

She isn't awake.

Yes, she is.

She's naked, wants to have sex, and you left her.

Oh crap. What did I do?

I open the door to go back out, hoping she's still in bed, but she's already dressed. I step behind her and wrap my arms around her. "Hey."

She pushes out of my embrace. "Good, you're done." She quickly steps into the bathroom and shuts the door.

Great. Another awesome start to the day.

When she comes out, she stands by the door. "Ready?"

"No. I need to use the bathroom."

"I thought you did?"

"No. I—"

"You better hurry up then. Time's obviously of the essence."

"Zoe—"

"Can I wait for you outside?"

"No. It's dangerous."

"Okay. Hurry up, so I don't leave then. I'm ready for some air."
