Isa

I wake up to an empty bed and automatically assume my grandma Stephy must've kicked Kai out of the room. But then I find a note on my pillow. As I read the P.S. part of it, a giddy, stupidly girly smile tugs at my lips. But then I frown as I wonder what errands Kai's running.

Reaching for my phone on the nightstand, I send him a text.

Me: Hey, just woke up and found your note. What are you doing?

As soon as I send it, I worry that maybe I'm being too clingy, which makes me irritated with myself. I don't want to be self-conscious, but this whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing is so new to me.

"I really need to talk to Indigo," I mumble as I climb out of bed.

The moment I stand up, a message buzzes through.

Kai: I'm with Jules right now, signing some papers for our new place. I have to go job hunting, too, but I'll try not to be too long, because I wanna see you so badly. And FYI, when you mumble my name in your sleep, you sound sexy as hell.

My cheeks warm as I read the last part.

Me: Whatever. That so did not happen.

Kai: Oh, it totally happened. And like I said, it was hot as hell. I think I need to lie in bed by you all the time so I can hear it every night.

I roll my tongue in my mouth, feeling way out of my element, but also stupidly giddy.

Kai: All right, I gotta sign papers now, so we have to put this sexy talk on pause. See you soon, gorgeous.

I shake my head, my heart acting like a lunatic inside my chest.

So, this is how things are going to be with him now that we're dating? All flirty and fluttery? Really, I'm not that surprised. Kai has always been a bit flirty. I've just never had it directed on me full force. It makes me feel like I just stepped onto some new path, one paved with kisses and touching and exploring, excitement buzzing inside me to see where this is going.

Of course that excitement fizzles as I walk out of my room and find Grandma Stephy and a couple of officers sitting at the kitchen table. Then reality bitch-smacks me across the face. Hard.

I almost back out of the room, partly because I feel intimidated and partly because I'm rocking a pair of pajama bottoms, an old tank top, and my hair is a mess. But then my grandma catches sight of me and motions for me to come over.

"I'm glad you're awake," she says as I pad over to the table and take a seat beside her. "I made breakfast for these lovely officers. And for you, too." She smiles at me. "I even put extra sugar in the waffles, just the way you like it …" She trails off as her phone rings.

I smile then start stacking my plate with waffles while Grandma Stephy walks out of the kitchen to answer the phone call.
