It takes less than a few seconds for his response to come through.
Travis
He’s making you sleep on the air mattress? What the hell! You can take my bed. I’ll take the couch.
Viola
No, that’ll look suspicious! We can’t act any different than we normally do, or he’ll know something’s up.
Travis
Oh, so now you’re the one embarrassed by me?
Okay, I deserved that.
Viola
No, actually. I was super tired this morning. I didn’t mean to overreact.
Travis
Wait a minute. Did hell just freeze over?
Viola
What?!
Travis
Did you just admit to overreacting to a situation? Viola, is this really you?
I bite my lip and chuckle. A sense of contentment floods over me. Travis knows me inside and out. He knows all my quirks, my habits, my body language. He’s taking over my heart again, and the thought of that scares me.
Viola
Yes, it’s me, you idiot!
Travis
Okay, that sounds more like you.
Viola
Ha-Ha. I’m getting in the shower now.
Travis
Don’t forget your vibrator this time.
I laugh and set my phone back down. Damn him.
He really has shown me a different side of him, but that doesn’t mean I trust him. In fact, the whole thing with Alyssa still doesn’t sit well with me.
Once I’m showered and dressed, I meet Drew out in the living room. He’s pacing, and I know something’s on his mind.
“You all right?” I ask, softly, knowing it’s probably a stupid question to ask. “I mean, considering…”
“You mean, considering my girlfriend threw all my shit out, tossed me out in the middle of the night, and now won’t answer my texts or calls?”
