Dear Gravity, You Held Me Down in This Starless City
Veintidos
The next morning, I woke up in Rob’s arms. I slowly moved out of his grip to check my phone.
20 missed calls
10 unread texts
5 voicemails
The texts were from JB and the calls varied from Zacky to Shads.
“Good morning,” Rob said, kissing my cheek.
“Good morning.”
“Sleep good?”
“Mhmm, I slept amazing. What about you?”
“Amazing, too.”
I sighed, “I need to get home.”
“Okay, we will get changed and I’ll drive you home.”
I just nodded and went to get changed. Rob let me borrow a pair of basket ball shorts and a shirt.
An hour later, we ended up at my house.
“Wanna come in?” I asked.
“Um, sure,” He replied.
“HEY! MAYLENE IS HOME!” Brian screamed as I stepped into the house, Rob following me inside.
I heard a stampede of feet come down the stairs. All of a sudden, everyone was firing questions left and right.
“HEY! SHUT THE HELL UP!” I yelled.
It was eerily silent.
I turned to Rob to get him to tell everyone what they wanted to know.
“Maylene and I are dating,” He said.
“Finally,” Brandi and Cassi said at the same time.
“Haha, I know, right?” I said.
“Come on,” I pulled on Rob’s hand and we walked up to my room. I shut the door, and Rob sat down on my bed.
“Well, I’m going to take a shower. You can watch T.V or whatever.”
I grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom. I didn’t take a long shower like I usually do because I didn’t want to leave Rob by himself for too long.
When I walked back into my room, Rob was laying on my bed, half asleep. I crawled up beside him.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi, tired?”
“Mhmm, I really want to sleep.”
“Well, sleep babe, I’ll be here.”
He rolled over and wrapped his arms around me and then kissed me.
“Maylene, you’re amazing.”
“No, Rob, you’re the one who is amazing.”
He just laughed at me.
I sighed and then fell asleep in his arms.
