So, I do He falls asleep only a et myself off after the weird day I had

IT’S A SUNDAY AND Ryan and I have nothing planned I ith a smile on my face, excited to laze around all day with my boyfriend He let o, and so far, we haven’t gotten a whole day to just relax

I stretchstretched out Ryan’s bed is absolute heaven, the perfecton a cloud My body had lied on nothing but hard floors and luoodup incredibly sore— so luxurious Now, I can hardly remove from myself from the bed

“Good ,” I chirp

He spares

I pause on the last step Uh Okay then

“Do you want breakfast?” I ask

“What do you think I’ve been waiting for?” he asks coldly, not looking up from his screen My smile falls and all happiness slowly deflates
