Bailey's pov

A loud snore made me look over at the bed. Mira had fallen asleep about five minutes ago and Kristina and I didn't want to wake her up.

So much for having a full two hour study time.

"Hmm I like it like that Ryan,”

I furrow my brows and looked over at Kristina who gave me the same look. Amusement.

"Did she just talk in her sleep?" Kristy snorted giggle, throwing her hand over her mouth. I nodded, pushing my teeth into my bottom lip and hoping I'd

not cave and burst into the laughter that was already bubbling in my chest.

"So good,”

Kristina's eyes widen and she mouthed. "I think she’s having a sex dream.”

I nodded, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I stared at my drooling best friend on the bed. Someone would think she was dreaming about food

with the amount of drool that slithered down the sides of her mouth.

"Definitely about Ryan." I giggled as Mira gripped the sheets and let out a small moan.

"It honestly feels like we're intruding on their moment." Kristy snorted, closing the book and leaning back on the chair.

"It actually does," I admitted, snorting a little. Kristy looks over at me and smiled faintly. "Think she'll say yes to being Ryan's girlfriend soon?"

I lifted my shoulder into a shrug, looking over at Mira. It was always hard to tell what Mira was thinking about. She was not one to reveal her true

feelings openly. She hid them very well. But I know she wants this, and I hope she'll get over that fear of someone loving her.

"I don't know," I admitted. "Only time will tell I guess."

"I hope she does,” Kristy sighed. "Ryan looks so in love with her.”

I nodded, agreeing with her because Ryan did in fact look very much in love with Mirabella.

"What about you?" I turn to Kristy. “You said he'd wait? Will you?"

Kristy's face flamed with red and she look away shyly. "I have every intention to." She admits, then her face twist into a frown. "Even though he

doesn't want me to.”

My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "He doesn't want you to wait?"

She shook hemhead, her eyes falling

to the closedtbook sadly. "He wants

me to haye the full high school and>

college ¢ experience. Date and find

someone better," she puffed out her

cheeks. "There's no one better’ than

hin”

&

My brows furrowed. "So he'll wait and put his whole life on pause for you....yet doesn't want you to wait on him and find someone better?"

Men are so confusing.

She nod. "Yep. He’s a confusing one isn't he?”

I nodded. "Oh definitely. But I don’t know, it's kind of sweet he'll wait for you even though there's a chance you may find someone else.”

Kristy looks up at me, her eyes hard with honesty. "I love him. There will be no one else.”

I ned, smiling at her gently. If anyone knows about what true love feels like, it would be me. And she's right. When you find the one, there won't be

anyone else.

She cracked a grin, nudging her Mira's way. "Now that she has fallen asleep, why don't you take that time to go check up on your boyfriend? I am

sure he's impatient to see you."

A flush crawled on my cheeks. "I do miss him.” I admitted, playing with the edge of the book

Kristy rolls-her eyes. "It's been like a

few minutes since you last saw i

him." She shook her head amused

ane motioned for me to go. "Come

on, go to your man. If this on@ wakes

upzand asks, I'll tell her youtte busy.”

I nodded, moving off the chair and sending her a grateful smile. In two minutes I am standing behind Kaleb's door and knock.

I have this giddy feeling in my body

and butterflies in my stomach while

I wait for him to answer. He opens

the dor i in a few seconds, so quickly

angmore than certain he had

already known it was me at the door.

And with him not looking surprised at all and leaning against the doorframe, a charming smirk on his face reveals that he did know I was behind the

door.

I grinned.

"Happy to see me?" I teased, eyes falling to his tongue that licked across his lower lip.

"Always," was his groggy reply as his fingers pin in the waistband of my jeans and he pulled me into his room, closing the door behind him and

lacking it.

"How long do we have?" His husky tone groaned, looking down at me as if he was about to devour me.

"For what?" I said breathlessly as he started to back me up to his bed, his eyes hot on my lips.

"For me to make you cream on my face.” Was his groaned reply before pushing me onto his bed, and quickly crawling up on me.
