16 • Friends With Benefits

◇ MYKAELA ◇

Two and a half days. Almost three days of complete silence. Another day of ignoring his messages, calls, and not hearing his voice would only make me feel like the most selfish, immature drama queen.

I mean, I knew better than to assume that it was more than a "friends with benefits" kind of thing for Enzo. Maybe he believed my relationship with Miles equated to a FWB setup, just long-distance. Not accurate, but, also not that far from the truth.

I stared at my phone, waiting, making up scary and unlikely scenarios in my head while grimacing at the familiar aches in my pelvic area. They felt like throbbing, gut-wrenching darts of pain. As usual.
