She lay on her bed and picked up the book she's been reading "Maybe this might help me sleep" she thought to herself

"Why am I even reading this book for fucks sake I feel like it's just putting ideas in my head, I mean it's not like I'm weird right? a lot of people get turned on by shit like this right?" Imaani thought.

Trying so hard to think of anything to Justify why she's liking or rather thinks she likes stuff like this

NO! I Don't like it-it's just my body reacting to a steamy scene, Yes it's just my body!" She closed the book but not without unconsciously placing a bookmark on the page she was reading.

SO MUCH FOR NOT LIKING THE BOOK HUH IMAANI

She picks up her phone like she usually does when she's bored.  It's not like she had anybody texting her. She only has one friend or rather she doesn't know where they stand. Her relationship with Faye is a lot more complicated.

Oh shut it! She scolded her subconscious out loud "maybe I am losing my mind" she thought

She dropped her phone on the bedside table and made her way to the kitchen to get a glass of water.... and a midnight snack.

On entering back into her room she noticed her phone screen turn on and off, she thought nothing of it and assumed it was just a work email that she can check tomorrow morning or an ad. She had to sleep, she had work first thing tomorrow, but then it buzzed again.

"That's weird" picking up her phone she clicked on it and saw that it was a Facebook notification. She clicked on it lo and behold it was a message from him! WAIT I've got to be imagining this!" she thought

She was in huge shock she could almost scream "Oh my gosh he barely texts me unless I text him first, which is when I'm bold enough to do so which is also rare" Imaani  thought to herself

She was so happy all she wanted to do was share the news with somebody. At least that might prove she's  not dreaming or imagining this

"Call Faye," she thought "Oh My God Faye!" Picking up her phone she dialled her number after the fourth ring she finally picked up. Imaani could not contain her joy and just started talking

"Girrrlll you will not believe what just happened I went to the kitchen to get water and when I got back to my room my phone buzzed but I was li-" Faye cut her short

"Hi uhm Imaani I'm kinda sleepy I'll call you back in the morning"

"Yeah In two months" she wanted to say but bit her tongue and just said "Hey it's nothing, I just realized how late it is right now sorry for waking you up"

"Babe come back to bed" she heard a male voice say in the background. That voice sounds familiar Imaani thought. I'm probably just imagining shit, she thought, tryna ignore it then she heard the voice again. "No it's not possible it can't be" but I just have to ask, so I did

"Faye is that...." Cut her short again as usual

"Shhh" Faye whispered "uh yeah bye Imaani" Faye rushed out and ended the call

What the fuck?! She thought while looking at the screen, the call almost ruining her mood but she remembered her unopened message and forgot all about Faye and her lying-horrible ass.

Clicking on his name and reading the message her mouth fell wide open just five words had Imaani's heart racing like mad

"Can I have your number?" She read what he sent

Well damn.
