Chapter 22- Boundaries
I went straight to bed as soon as I got home from my date with Simon. I didn’t want to run into Chloe and have her tell me how I’m failing as a sister. I’m being forced to hide in my own home. I weep at the memories of a time when my house was a safe haven.
Like clockwork Chloe took over my life and like a fool I let her. Now I’m lying in my bed wide awake, I should be sleeping but I can’t. I wish I was in Simon’s bed right now. I want to sleep like I did the other night.
My brain is running so fast right now there’s no way in hell I’m falling asleep.
“Just come in.” I hear Chloe say at my front door. She’s trying to whisper but she’s failing. It’s 3 am and everything is quiet, so I can hear clearly. “Why are you walking so slowly? Come in.” She says and I hear feet shuffle on the floor. Chloe is unbelievable; she’s not pulling this sit on me right now. I

“This smells so good. Wow, I’m literally salivating. It looks good too.” Adira says taking the seat she was sitting in before she left me in the kitchen. I place a bowl of food in front of her and she smiles. I’m proud of the food I made tonight. I can’t wait for her to have a bite.“It tastes good too.” I say smiling at her proudly. I can tell by the smell that this is the best Teriyaki chicken I’ve ever made. I don’t need her to confirm that fact but I love that she loves what she’s seeing.“Wow!” She exclaims after taking a bite. She looks at me appreciatively and then she takes another bite immediately after.

“I’m glad you decided to come with me.” I say smiling at her. She’s walking toward me, her bag in one hand her phone in the other. I was surprised when she texted letting me know she’s like to come with me this weekend. I was sure she wasn’t interested. I open my car trunk and take the bag from her.She’s looking at me unsure; I knew this wouldn’t be easy for her so I came prepared. I know she might change her mind and I’d have to go alone but I’m hopeful.“I’m still not sure this is a good idea.” She says looking back at her apartment building like she’s wants to run back home.

I don’t want to rush her into anything.I take a deep breath and stay calm and wait for her to decide if she wants to change her mind or not. I cross my fingers praying she doesn’t.

“Adira, wake up. We’re here.” Simon says touching my waking me up. I open my eyes and realize the car is not moving anymore. When did I fall asleep? I remember us leaving the rest stop and then from there I’m blank. I suspect it the food we had, it was too good. The lull of the car was the perfect lullaby for me.I know I need to stop falling asleep around this man, he’s going to think I do it on purpose. This is the second time I’ve knocked out around him. But again that was the best sleep I’ve had in a week. I’m beginning to think the quality of sleep has more to do with him being around than it does to do with where I’m sleeping.“I’m such a terrible travel mate.” I say looking at him. “I would says I’m sorry I fell asleep but I’m kind of not.” I say and he smiles. He looks so tired right now, maybe if I hadn’t fallen asleep in the last leg of our trip I would have

I used to take night walks all the time when I lived at home. I find the night air relaxing, especially if I’m going to sleep right after my walk.And our neighborhood is very beautiful at night; most people are in their houses at this hour. So we can walk casually in the middle of the streets with no cars driving up and down.“Yeah, they act like newlyweds. I doubt they’ll ever stop.” I say smiling; my parents are obsessed with each other. They are as touchy feely today as they were when I was old enough to understand.
