*Andrew*
My eyes shot open. I looked around, shocked to find I was awake. The dream I’d just had was so intense. I knew it instantly for what it was.
Delilah was laying on my chest still, sleeping soundly. I breathed deeply, inhaling her scent. She smelled like lavender and mint, and something that had to just be her. She smelled divine, and she looked even better.
I looked down at her, unsure how I’d missed how beautiful she was before this.
I slowly rolled her over, holding her for just a bit longer.
“Delilah, wake up.”
She stirred, and I thought I saw her eyes open.
“I’m going to head home. Do you want me to walk you home?”
“No, just go,” she said sleepily.
“Okay,” I said, and I kissed her cheek softly before slipping away and grabbing my clothes silently. I walked a short distance away and threw them on before making my way back to the path.
Just as I emerged I smelled her–Kendra.
“Andrew, what are you doing out here?” she said as she approached.
