SIXTEEN

PHOEBE

Best. Birthday. Ever. I feel like I’m on top of the world. I don’t know what I was thinking when I dialed Knox’s number last night, but I’m so thankful I did. My lips are still tingling from his rough kisses, my body humming on a natural high. What happened between Knox and I felt so sacred, like so much more than just “fooling around.” He took his time with me, praising every inch of my body.

While I’m on cloud nine, I would be lying if I said a small part of me wasn't worried about him pushing me away again. At least I have the comfort of knowing he promised we would talk. Knox may have his flaws, but he seems loyal. After he gets out of his meeting, he’ll reach out, and we’ll talk. He promised.

I’m grinning from ear to ear when I finally walk into my apartment. After turning the lock, my back hits the door and I stare off into space, replaying everything that happened in the past twelve hours. Thankfully, Maisie must still be asleep, or she would totally catch on to my swooning. I can’t hide the love-stricken expression written all over my face.

Love? Pull yourself together, Phoebe.

Pulling myself out of my trance, I take a quick shower and change into a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. I tie my hair up in a messy bun and take a couple ibuprofen to help with my headache. Relieved to finally be out of my black dress and no longer reeking of alcohol and puke, I walk into the kitchen and make myself a glass of iced coffee. Taking a seat at the dining table, I ball my knees up to my chest and take my first sip of the day. Grabbing my phone off the table, I decide to send Knox a quick text. I know he won’t see it right away, but he’ll read it later. I already miss him so much, and it hasn't even been an hour.

Me: Thank you again for everything. Already missing you. Let me know when you have time to talk later. I hope your meeting goes well. Can’t wait to see you again. - Bee :)
