⠀
the words hit harder than she⠀
expected and she followed him ⠀
into the kitchen. “don’t shut ⠀
me out.” her voice laced with⠀
hurt. “i’m trying to get us out ⠀
of the mess you started.” ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
he ran his hand over his face, already
annoyed by the conversation. “ i am.
it’s disrespectful to me. i hope you
realize that every time you post. ” he
walked off to the kitchen. he wanted to
get away before he really lost his temper.
⠀
⠀
she smiled at him this time, ⠀
though, it didn’t fully hide ⠀
the uncertainty creeping back ⠀
onto her face. “hey … you ⠀
sure you aren’t upset about ⠀
the whole onlyfans thing .ᐣ” ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
he walked in and closed the door
behind him before taking off his
rain-soaked coat. he looked at her
again. “ yep, cute… very you. ”
he took off his shoes so he
wouldn’t track mud everywhere.
⠀
⠀
glancing down, she pulled ⠀
the cardigan tighter. “i’m ⠀
not half naked, i’m covered ⠀
up.” a subtle defensiveness ⠀
as her eyes softened. “do ⠀
you like the cardigan, ⠀
though? … it’s new.” ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
maybe it wasn't the best idea to
show up like that in the middle of
the night, but his phone battery was
dead. “ can you explain to me why
you're walking around half-naked
in front of the window ? ” and yes,
it was freezing cold.
⠀
⠀
startled by the figure outside ⠀
before realizing who it was, ⠀
she threw the window open ⠀
just enough. ⠀
“jesus, nate. what the fuck? ⠀
get inside — it’s freezing.” ⠀
