I roll over, taking the blankets with me so I curl into a burrito and snuggle into my comfy bed. It’s movie time. And not just any movie. My favorite comfort movie.

The Last Unicorn. An epic fantasy movie of a unicorn embarking on a legendary adventure to defeat the evil King and save the unicorns from extinction.

I flip on the TV in my bedroom and lay back on the pillows to lose myself to the magical world.

But even when our hero unicorn is captured by the witch, my mind is traveling somewhere else.

To the gym.

To this morning.

I forcefully blow out a breath and roll over to grab my phone, pulling up Ty’s name. If I get this over with, then I can go back to my magical escapism, and hopefully get this asshole out of my head.

Hey. No one is going to be in the gym again tomorrow morning. Want to train?

I drop my phone to my chest and wait. Tomorrow is Sunday, so the gym will be busy, but not until the afternoon. And even though we could train with everyone else there… selfishly, I don’t want to.

I groan and tilt my head back on my pillows. What am I doing? He is a fucking asshole, and I’ve spent years hating him. One little moment after a few days of being around him and suddenly I think… what? That he’ll just pull his pants down and we’ll fuck? Or, even worse… that he’s a good guy?

No. Hell no.

I toss my phone on the bed beside me and roll over to face the TV again. Fuck him, he’s probably not even going to respond anyway. I’ll just sleep in tomorrow, and head to the gym when-

My phone buzzes and I grab it.

Too quickly.

Ty

Fine, I’ll be there anyway.

Dick.

Of course you will be. You know, normal people sometimes take at least one morning off a week

I stare back at my phone screen, but he doesn’t respond. I huff out a breath of amusement.

Normal people also know how to have a conversation

I smirk at my phone screen as the three little bubbles start dancing.

Why are you even texting me? Shouldn’t you be out somewhere?

Why, want to join? I can send you my location. It’s a cozy little spot.

I take a photo of my view from bed and send it to him. And I get a little rush of anticipation. I just sent Ty Roscoe a photo of my bed. Oh, the scandal.

There’s nothing for a while, so I set my phone down on my chest and return to my movie. And try to ignore the pounding of my heart. Which only intensifies when my phone buzzes again.

Are you watching cartoon unicorns?

Oh, now this is good. A smile spreads across my face as I get ready to take this in whatever direction it’s going to go.

You a fan too?

Of children’s movies? No.

*shocked face emoji* Tyler. This is not a children’s movie. This is some dark shit. Which actually very much suits you.
