Late at Night
Sleep didn't come to Caleb so easily that night. Sure he has had sleepless nights before, but they were nothing like this. While he mostly hated staying up late to do his job or something, this time he couldn't help but smile through and through. Every time he closed his eyes, he could feel that pair of lips that he encountered twice today, and like an earworm these two sentences kept ringing in his ears, "I can get used to this" and "Nothing a boyfriend shouldn't do".
Just a day ago he was wallowing in sadness and the pain of rejection, and now 24 hours later, he had a boyfriend, the one guy he had wanted for so long. He felt like an idiot for not confessing his feelings earlier, for being an idiot to think that his feelings are one sided. If only he had confessed his feelings long ago, he wouldn't have had to suffer for so long.
