The Returning Ex

The next day, Sophia was woken up by a knock on the door. It wasn’t coming from the door outside, but from the door to the bedroom.

Thus, she drowsily opened her eyes. Before her mind cleared, she asked, “Who is it?”

Then, John replied rather speechlessly, “Who else could it be?”

She grunted in reply. “What do you want?”

In response, he said, “Can you come out for a bit? I need to use the restroom.”

However, she simply rolled over and hugged the blankets to her. “Come in then.”

After waiting by the door for a while, he finally pushed the door open and entered the bedroom. Neatly dressed in his pajamas, he stood by the door and studied her. Then, he said in a flat voice, “Please come out for a moment. I need to use the restroom. I’ll be quick.”

She replied without opening her eyes, “As long as you’re not using the bed, you can do as you please. I’m going back to sleep.”

Still, he didn’t move and just stood there motionlessly. To be honest, she knew what he wanted, but she kept her eyes closed, and her heart leaped with joy.

He waited and waited. In the end, he walked in.
