Alexis awoke to the sound of persistent ringing. Groaning, she reached to the table beside of her, attempting to locate the phone. Her eyes flickered open when she felt a weight against her chest. Looking down, she saw Lynn curled up against her. Alexis smiled at the sight of the tousled coffee strands that fell on to her chest and arm. Lynn had to be the most beautiful creature she had ever laid eyes on. If not for Calista she knew she would not have thought twice about acting on the feelings that fluttered deep in the pit of her stomach. Finally, she managed to reach the phone while still not waking the sleeping woman. “Hello,” Alexis mumbled in a sleepy voice. When she looked at the clock, she realized it was barely after seven. She wasn’t sure when she had fallen asleep but the last time she had noticed the time it was near five.
“Alexis,” Lenora’s small voice replied from the other end.
