Night Out
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56She spun around and found Justin sleeping beside her. She blinked to make sure that she had actually woken up and didn’t imagine this. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. She prayed: If this is a dream, don’t wake me up! ‘Coz this is just too darned romantic right now!
She watched him sleep. He wore only a pair of pajama bottoms.
How could he be here? He said he would be in Chicago for a week. It had only been four days.
She took her mobile phone on the bedside table. She didn’t have any messages. She sent a message to Jill, saying she cannot go to work that day.
“Headache. Bad one. But don’t worry about me. I’ll call you later.”
She gazed at Justin again. And then she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.
He tightened his arms around her. “Adrienne,” he whispered.
She smiled to herself, closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Maybe the time had come for her to think about herself. Time to follow her heart and go after what she wanted.
