Chapter 23

Kole

This was my second night without Lexi next to me. The bed seemed so big without her. I hated not being able to stretch my legs out and feel hers against mine. I missed the smell of her shampoo as her hair tickled my nose. I couldn’t wait for her to get back home. I just wanted to hold her close and feel her warmth.

I had been waiting for her to call me and when it was almost 10:00 in the evening, I decide to call her instead.

It rang three times and I was about to hang up when she answered. “Sorry, I was just getting out of the shower. I planned on calling you in a few minutes.”

I smiled. “Well, I couldn’t wait any more. This whole being so far away from you really sucks.” I took in the sound of her soft giggle.

“How was your night? What all did you do?” I listened as she explained her evening. The excitement in her voice as she described her day with her dad was great. Lexi had been so lost for so long and lately it seemed as if she was getting stronger and more confident.

“How are you feeling? Have you been sick to your stomach anymore today?” Earlier when I talked to her she said she felt nauseated. The caveman tendencies in me were resurfacing. “You need to be getting rest and not stressing yourself out.”

She was quiet and all I heard was her breath lightly coming through the phone. I listened for a few seconds without any response from her.

“Lexi?” I whispered. “Baby, are you awake?” Still nothing; there was no answer from her.

I listened a little longer and after a few minutes her breathing became much deeper and I realized my girl had passed out cold. She fell asleep as I was lecturing her about taking care of herself and the baby.

I listened to her breathe and I couldn’t bring myself to hang up; I found her breaths coming through the phone calming. If I closed my eyes and held the phone close it felt as if she was there beside me.
