“...Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.” (Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell)

*yawn*

“What time is it?” I mumbled to myself as another yawn escaped from my lips. I took my phone from my bedside table and gasped in surprise as I saw that it was already 4 o’clock in the morning.

Oh my god! I didn’t realize I’ve been reading for almost eight hours.

At least, I have no classes tomorrow, or shall I say ‘today’. Which means, I can just cuddle my soft, comfy pillow, sleep all day on my bed and hide from the real world. That looks like a very nice plan.

Idle, idle Scarlet.

More like having an alone time for myself

I closed the book I was reading and placed it on my bedside table. With my thoughts about my very appealing plan, I closed my eyes and easily drifted off to sleep.

“Scarlet” A voice whispered near my ear.

“Scarlet” The voice repeated then I felt a hand poking my cheek

“Scarlet, wake up!” The voice hissed, sounding a bit alarmed

No. I will not open my eyes. I’m so dog tired and painfully sleepy.

It’s your fault reading until dawn

Wow, my annoying voice in my head is still alive and kicking even in my sleepy state.

I stirred for a bit and hugged my pillow tightly, trying to get my sleep once again.

Hmm, I can’t hear any voice anymore. Maybe the person already gave up waking me up which of course is good on my part—

“AaaaahhhhhhhHHh!!!!—oomph!” I yelped in surprise as I staggered on my feet and stumbled on the cold floor

“So water really wakes you up” Elina spoke with an amused tone

I tried to sit upright and then realized that my hair was dripping wet. With my eyes turned into slits, I gazed up to show my face to Elina that clearly shows how angry I was.

“I’m just trying to wake you up dear roommate” Elina explained with hands raised in surrender, “He’s the one to blame” I followed Elina’s gaze and I clearly know shock was written all over my face when I saw Liam standing near the door, smiling widely watching us.

“You two look cute” He said huskily, still smiling

Elina snort breaking my gaze on Liam, “I am cute but this girl looks like a killer”

I would be a killer if Elina will not shut up!

With narrowed eyes directed at her I grumbled, “I’ll be dealing with you later” Then looked at Liam again, “Why are you here?”

“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed” He joked

I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was just seven in the morning. Aww, I just slept for less than three hours. No one can blame me if I’m all grumpy.

I heaved a sigh, “Just answer my question, why are you here this early?” I repeated

His smile never faltered as he spoke, “We're going somewhere where girls love”

Is it a room with a big, fluffy bed? If no, then I’ll pass. I’m sleepy!

“Where?” I asked with knitted eyebrows

“It’s a surprise. For now, you need to change so we can do things as scheduled” He commanded but grinned ear to ear

As scheduled? This guy always confuses me.
