#Chapter13

/"Are you cold, small bean?/"

/"Small bean?/" I asked with a tiny smile, secretly adoring the nickname.

Joel's face was just about visible. The interior lights of the car had faded once I had closed the passenger door and the world outside was bathed in a darkened hue. It was a few minutes past four and the world had yet to allow day to break.

/"Yup./" Joel yawned and I felt a small twinge of guilt hit me. He had finished two hours ago but he had come back for me so I didn't have to catch a taxi home. /"When you were drunk you basically told me that I had to rock you because you're a baby, and that you're just a small bean./"

I didn't remember that. I still didn't remember half of the things Joel said that I had done that night but it sounded like the kind of thing that I would do so I didn't doubt him.

/"Can I be your jellybean insteada your smol bean?/"
