The Returning Ex

After brief contemplation, John took his phone over and looked at it. It was apparent in the call log that Isabelle had just called, and the call lasted less than a minute. Sophia had probably picked it up.

Setting the phone to silent mode and putting it back on the bedside table, John lay down and hugged Sophia from behind. Sophia was clearly jolted awake from her sleep, hence, she huffed drowsily and reproached, “So annoying.”

John went along with what she said. “It’s so annoying that she called in the middle of the night without any discretion.”

Sophia couldn’t help chuckling. “You’re more annoying for flirting around.”

Kissing the back of her head, he whispered, “No, I didn’t flirt around. I just want to flirt with you. I don’t have the energy to bother about others.”

Sophia couldn’t be bothered to debate with him. Shifting slightly, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep. She slept so soundly that she didn’t even know when John left in the morning.
