Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 242

[Good night, my girlfriend!]

Hayden's text came in like half an hour later.

What took him so long? Was he, like in those cheesy romance novels, taking a cold shower to cool off or something?

Thinking about how we'd hit the brakes earlier made me blush like crazy, so I didn't even text back.

I barely slept that night. Maybe I should've taken a cold shower too because I was all kinds of restless, like there was this weird energy buzzing under my skin.

I guess once you crack open the door to, you know, desire, it's kinda hard to shut it again. I learned that the hard way.

I was up early the next morning, but Hayden beat me to it. He was already out running.

The guy's stamina was insane. Seriously, where does he get all that energy?

I bet a guy like him would be... intense in bed too.

I couldn't stop thinking about it, like I was under some kind of spell or something.

And you know who's to blame for this? Lena, with her terrible advice last night!

I didn't care how early it was; I grabbed my phone and texted her: [Hungry? Get up and have breakfast with me.]
