T: You good?
T: Are you ok?
T: answer me
T: Sadie answer this fucking text
T: wtf
T: you better fucking answer this text now
Sadie: It’s three in the morning
T: I got a clock I know what fucking time it is. you answer me when I fucking text you
Sadie: I was sleeping which is what most people do at THREE IN THE MORNING!!!!!!
Sadie was waiting for his reply but she got nothing. It was now three in the morning and she was wide awake. She lay back down and closed her eyes. Seconds later they snapped back open. She was up! She had been like this since she was a kid, once she was awake, she had a really hard time falling back asleep. She punched her bed in frustration and sat up. That jerk woke me up! She grabbed her phone and texted him again.
Sadie: You woke me up and now I can’t get back to sleep!
No reply. Two minutes later she sent another text.
Sadie: I’m still up thanks to you and your texts.
No reply again. One minute later.
Sadie: I’m still up, in case you’re wondering. I’m going to make coffee now because SOMEONE was rude and kept texting me. What are you up to, trying to sleep?
T: I’m getting my cock sucked by Krista and Jill. U want me to send a pic?
Sadie dropped the phone on the bed. He was such an asshole. She immediately walked away from the phone and ended her texting with T. He had two girls in bed? He said Krista. She wondered if it was the same girl from the diner, the one with Stone. She couldn’t think about it anymore.
She grabbed her book from her bedside table; hopefully she could get back to sleep soon. Reading at night usually made her sleepy. If not, her day would officially begin at three a.m. Asshole!
She was finally able to get to sleep around six. A good five hours had her up by eleven. She was pretty productive. She went and gassed up her car and grabbed a newspaper to start her job hunt. She bought three papers in hopes that she would have more options. She realized it wasn’t a smart move when she saw all the same job postings in every paper. Sadie had Internet access through her phone, she’d try that tomorrow, she thought.
Sadie awoke several hours later to her phone beeping. She rubbed her eyes and scooted up on the bed. She grabbed the phone and smiled as she looked down at the screen.
Stone: Catching a later flight, shit came up.
The message was from a few hours ago. She immediately started typing.
Sadie: Hi! Just got your message, I was sleeping. Have a safe flight, see ya later!
Stone: Sweet dreams?
Sadie: Yep! You were in it.
Stone: oh yeah? Was I naked?
Sadie: LOL……I’m not telling!
Stone: Tease. The guys will pick you up tonight and drive you to the bar. I’ll meet ya there.
Sadie: I can drive myself.
Stone: I know you can but they’ll pick you up.
Sadie: No. I’ll drive myself, Stone.
Stone: You gotta a problem with my brothers?
Sadie: NO! I just don’t know them well and I don’t think T likes me very much. Please, I’ll just drive myself. Ok?
Stone: Yeah. Pack a bag, ur in my bed tonight.
Sadie: Ok!
Stone: later
Sadie: Bye!
Apparently, she was staying at his place. The thought of being with him again excited her.
She packed her bag. She wished she had the money to go out and buy something for tonight but she didn’t. She packed a sexy nightie she bought when she was with Tyler. The night she planned to wear it was the same night she caught him cheating. So technically, it was new, which made her feel better about wearing it for Stone. She gathered her toiletries together and clothes for tomorrow. She was all set for her sleepover.
Her phone beeped as she was preparing to leave at six fifty-five. DL’s bar was off Main Street in the center of town. It took about twenty minutes to get there. Roxanne texted her they were going to be there at seven. She purposely decided to leave late. She didn’t want to get there before them. She was never very social to begin with but in a bar setting, she was totally out of her element. Add seeing Stone and not knowing how to act… Were they a couple or just casual? Throw into the mix his brothers, who may or may not like her. Was it too late to back out?
Sadie checked her phone. She had missed three text messages in a span of five minutes.
Roxanne: Where r u?
Roxanne: Sadie!!!!!!! Come on, girl, we’re here!!!!! Time to get our drink on!!!!!
Bogs: Weather man says it’s going to be a cold one tonight. Don’t wear a jacket!
Sadie laughed at the messages. She headed out the door not responding to them, she’d be there in twenty minutes anyway. Her phone beeped again. She glanced down at the screen and smiled.
Stone: Not here in 10, I’m coming 4 U.
This text she responded to, telling him that she was leaving now. She paused before sending and quickly added another sentence and hit send before she could second guess her message.
Leaving now. Can’t wait to see you!
She had never been one of those people who couldn’t walk in somewhere alone. She went everywhere by herself. It built character. But she didn’t do it by choice. It had never been an issue in the past. However, at this moment, she really wished she had someone to walk in with. She was feeling anxious about seeing Stone. Sadie didn’t know how she was supposed to act. Should she go up to him and kiss him? Should she just hang back and wait for him to come to her? This was so confusing!
She walked into the bar and it was packed. She searched for the group but there were so many people she didn’t see them. She knew they were here. Sadie walked
