Sidney looked into his phone again. Still no Nicolette. He tried to call her. No answer. He dialed her number again. Still no answer. Why? Was she still angry about his recklessness and that he said he would divorce Azalea? If only she knows that they get along now. But, if she was upset, how is he gonna wake up tomorrow? He’s the worse in getting up early and her text messages were the ones who wake him everyday. He climbed off the bed and got out of his bedroom. He then knocked the door of the guest bedroom slowly.

Azalea was deep asleep, yet the knock woke her. She was used to having to listen to any little noise and slept lightly, even when deep asleep.

She woke up and rolled over. “Yea? Come in,” she said tiredly.

He slowly came inside the bedroom. “Would you wake me up tomorrow…I mean, can I—can I sleep here?” He played with his fingers nervously. “I’m not gonna do naughty things to you I promise.”

"Sure. There’s plenty of room," she said smiling at him as she made more room. "Why are you so nervous about asking this?" She had noticed Sidney playing with his fingers, even still somewhat asleep.

He climbed onto the bed. The sheets are all white, and the green sheets in his own room made him more comfortable but this is just for tonight, right?

"Well…um, I don’t know." He was surprised by himself. He’d slept with a lot of girls, so why is he nervous now? "I’m sorry for waking you up."

"You’re fine. I’m used to interruptions, so don’t worry about it," Azalea said as she moved closer to Sidney and rested her head on his shoulder while wrapping one arm around him.. "I hope you don’t mind if I cuddle with you for tonight. If you do, just tell me and I can move."

"Mmno. Sure I can deal with cuddle. Hope you don’t mind if I cuddle back." He said playfully. He wrapped his arms around her and snuggled against her. Sidney himself is already so sleepy too, actually.

"Of course I don’t mind," she said before kissing his cheek. "Good night Sidney." She closed her eyes and began to fall asleep. Her breathing was getting deeper and her muscles relaxed more.

"Hmm~" He mumbled, before finally succumbed to his sleepiness fully.
