Chapter 134: No Scrubs Here

The TLC Song, "No Scrubs," wakes me from the groggy sleep I'd been pulling myself from at a slow pace. There's no point in waking up early on a Saturday morning. My phone rests on the towel I threw on the floor after last night's shower.

"Hello?" My thick voice cracks from sleep.

Cody laughs on the other end. "Still like those Saturday sleep ins? Are you going to make it to lunch?"

"Of course, Cody. It's steps from my apartment." Isn't it funny how quirks you found cute while dating become fucking annoying when you aren't? Like Cody's constant need to check in and make sure I'm running on time. I used to think it sweet he looked out for me, now I recognize it as the patronizing behavior it is.

"Okay, I'll see you at twelve o'clock."

"Got it." We hang up and I throw back the covers not ready to face the world, but I need to get this done and over with.
