Later that night, I lay in bed reading, but not really taking in the content as I kept checking my phone to see if Cyrus would call. As the time ticked later and later without a call from him, disappointment grew. Finally, at midnight, I put my book down and turned out the light.

I closed my eyes, and let myself drift. I don’t know how long I was hovering between wake and sleep when my phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Ah hell…you were sleeping.”

“Cy.” My smile was probably goofy.

“I’m sorry. I’ll let you go.”

“No. I want to hear your voice,” I said, tucking the phone under my ear as I lay on my side.

“I was needing to hear your voice.” He sounded so tired. “Tell me something good, Petal.”

“Maya and I made orange colored cupcakes with sprinkles today.”

“Do orange and sprinkles go together?” he asked.

“We got a sherbet level of orange color so it wasn’t too bad. Are you okay?”

“Tell me something else.”

I got the hint that he didn’t want to talk about him or his situation.

“I’ve made interview appointments to hire help.”

“I didn’t realize you were doing that.”

“I need a social life.” I yawned. “To do that I need to have some time off.”

“I see.” There was something about his voice that sounded off. “I should let you go. I’m sorry I woke you.”

“It’s okay. I’m awake—”

“Goodnight Petal.”

The phone went dead. I frowned as I wondered what happened. He seemed to have shut down when I talked about a social life. Was he worried I was trying to get more from him than friends with benefits by making more time for myself? Was that what I was doing? Was my attempt to be available as his friend really a desire to grow the relationship into more?

I set my phone aside. “Petal, you’re going to ruin everything,” I warned myself. Cy had been clear that he couldn’t give me more. Plus, he was going to be gone a lot. If he asked me to wait for him, I would. But he was clear that we were just friends. I had to accept that. It was time for me to check my dating profile and finally take the next step in seeing someone.
