The next door love
I woke up smiling.
Not the soft, accidental kind—but the wide, uncontrollable kind that made my cheeks hurt.
Boyfriend.
Elijah was officially my boyfriend.
I rolled onto my side, grabbed my phone, and before I could stop myself, typed:
Me: “Good morning, boyfriend.”
The reply came almost instantly.
Elijah: “Good morning, girlfriend. Did you sleep well or were you too busy thinking about me?”
I laughed out loud.
Me: “Bold of you to assume I slept at all.”
