Ignorance Is Bliss

My night with Noah went pretty well.

Our shower experience was something

I'll never forget.

We ended up ordering late night takeout,

and watched a couple of movies.


It's now about three in the morning,

and Noah is currently knocked out

in a deep sleep.

It's hard for me to sleep sometimes

around this hour,

so I usually just watch videos on my phone

until I fall back asleep.


As I'm watching videos,

I get a text notification.


It's Sonny.


Can you come outside?

I really need to talk to you.

Please.


He's outside?

Crap-

Noah's here.

I hope he's not expecting to come inside,

because that's simply not going to happen.

"Sonny,

what are you doing here so late?"

I text him.


I just need to see you.

Please,

just come out.


Fine.

Noah's sleeping anyways.

I slowly start to get up from the bed,

being careful not to wake up Noah.

I then begin to tiptoe out of my room,

and down the stairs.

I open up the door,

and Sonny's standing right there.

I expected him to be in his car.

"What did you want to talk about?" I ask. "It's really late,

and I'm tired,"

"Can I come in?" he asks me.

That would be a very,

very bad idea.

"Why?

You can tell me what you need to tell me,

right here."

"Well why can't I just come in?

Are you that mad at me?" he asks me.

"No,

it's just late,

and I want to quickly get to bed."

Which isn't a lie,

but I also don't want Noah waking up,

and walking down here by accident.
