I plopped on the sofa in my living room. My eyes wandered to the window. The night was really quiet and you could see some stars above on the dark sky. The street was completely empty; you could only see a couple of cars on the other side of the road. I snuggled into my hoodie as a small shiver ran down my spine. The air was getting colder.

I grabbed my cell phone, letting my finger slide on my screen as I searched through my contacts. My heart instantly pumped faster as I read his name.

A small doubt crept on my mind as I looked at the time. I shook my head as a small smile played on my lips.

Since I met Scott, I don't think I ever had a proper night of sleep.

Or pretty much a brain...

So what if it was almost four in the morning?

There was definitely nothing conventional about us...

The phone ringed for thirty seconds. I was about to hung up completely disappointed, when a raspy voice answered.

"Emily?"

Instantly, my lips tugged up in a wide smile. "Hey..."

"Are you ok?" Scott asked really worried.

Frowning, I looked outside the window again, "Yes?"

"Really? Are you seriously ok?! I'm going to call Sean to-"

"Scott, I'm fine! Why are you freaking out?"

He sighed, "I'm worried about the douchebag..."

My heart leapt inside my ribcage and a warm fuzzy feeling crept all over my body.

"I'm fine..." a little beat up by Hugh, but fine...

"Are you sure?" He was truly worried.

"Yes." I raised my knees and crossed my legs on the sofa." I just wanted to apologize to you..."

He stayed silent for a moment, "apologize? What for?" he asked warily.

"For being a zombie tonight...for pretty much spacing out every five minutes...for-"

Scott chuckled, "it's ok."

"No it's not. Scott." I sighed, "You were here and I was completely spacing out. And now..."

Now I miss you...

"You're not here anymore..." I trailed embarrassed.

Scott sighed again. I could definitely picture him running a hand through those sexy brown bangles. "I couldn't sleep either..." After a second he added, "Do you want to grab something for breakfast?"

I giggled like a little girl. 

Clearing my throat, I said "but we just ate pizza!"

"Like two hours ago. And besides, I'm on my way to your house right now..."

I jumped on the floor, "really?!"

"Yep" he said popping the p with a huge smirk on his face, I was sure of it.

"Oh. Ok. I'll see you in a few?"

"Don't hang up on me!" Scott chuckled.

Oh...but I need to brush the mess of hair Hugh had must left after throwing me all those pillows.

"Ok."

I ran towards the stairs. Skipping every two steps, I reached up and ran to the bathroom. My breath hitched as I opened the bathroom door and Scott whispered huskily, "Knock Knock"
