Chapter Six

The alarm on my iPhone was buzzing. I reached and felt around for it on the small table on my side of Phil's bed. I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to get out of bed.

Thud! Damn. I had knocked my phone onto the floor. Now I had to get out of bed. I forced my eyes open. I sat up and swung my legs out of bed. I bent over and picked up my phone. I silenced the alarm.

“What the hell?” groaned a groggy Phil.

“Sorry. I knocked my phone off the table. You probably should get up anyway. What time is your first class?”

“Not until ten,” he said as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. “What time is it?”

“Seven,” I replied.

“Seven?! I still have almost three hours before I need to leave.”

“I said I was sorry. I have an 8:30 class this morning. I'll make it up to you,” I said as I kissed Phil on the forehead.

“A repeat of last night would be a good start,” he said as he playfully smacked my ass.

“I think that can be arranged. But not tonight. I have a meeting of the fundraiser committee and then I'm tutoring a girl in English Lit.”

“That sucks. How about a quickie before you leave?” he said as he reached toward me.

“Don't have time. I need to shower, dress, and eat. And being late to class isn't an option, so don't even suggest it.”

Phil flopped back onto his pillow and rolled over onto his side. “Text me tomorrow when you are free,” he said.

Then he pulled the covers over his head.

“Okay. Bye . . .” I said a bit annoyed.

“What?” I heard his muffled question from under the sheet.

“Look, I know this isn't an 'I love you forever' sort of relationship, but you could at least give me a kiss goodbye and tell me to have a nice day. I'm not just some roll in the hay,” I said.

Phil pushed the sheet off and sat back up.

“Fine. I'm sorry.” He leaned toward me.

I gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

“There. Was that so hard?” I asked as I grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom to take my shower.

“Nope,” was all he said as he curled up under the covers again. “Oh, yeah, have a nice day,” he called out.

Was Phil the man of my dreams? No. And we both knew it. We both knew that we weren't going to have our happily ever after with each other. I didn't know how much longer we were going to keep our relationship, or what we had of one, going. I guess we both figured we would enjoy it until graduation.

Nonetheless, I didn't want to be dismissed like I was just some booty call. We may not have had much more than that, but it was certainly more. I was willing to accept it for what it was. To a point.

I showered and dressed. I grabbed my book bag and headed out.
