Dom (Alliance #3)

Me:

I set my phone down.

Dominic left this morning. He hasn’t even been gone a full day, and yet he’s stillhere.

Taking care of me.

I press my hand to my chest, then pick my phone up.

Me: Good thing you aren’t overbearing or anything.

Send.

Big Guy: You have a lifetime to get used to it.

I set my phone back down.

I can’t deal with this man anymore today.

Big Guy: Good morning, Angel. Are you staying home today?

I blink,rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Then I see it’s six a.m., meaning it’s four where he is.

Me: Yes. And why are you up so early?

Send.

Big Guy: Up late but about to go to bed. Wish me sweet dreams.

I pretend not to smile.

Me: Go to sleep.

Send.

Big Guy: And a kiss.

I open the camera.

Me: *sends photo of my middle finger with the sleepy city in the background*

Big Guy: Rob told me you’re going to the grocery store today. You can order delivery if you want.

I shakemy head and finish my work email before picking up my phone to reply.

Me: Husband, I do not want to rot away in this condo every day, morning to night.

Send.

Big Guy: So touchy. It’s okay. I know you’re grouchy because you miss me.

I set the phone back down.

I have work to do.
