Chapter Fourteen: Slowly Becoming

Violet’s POV

A few hours later, I woke up feeling weirdly happy.

I mean… it was normal, right?

I was in a relationship.

I had accepted my sexuality.

I was with a woman, and she was pretty cool.

Gosh, I really asked her out… and now I was dating a girl I had just met.

Well, I always knew I was crazy. This just confirmed it, I thought, laughing softly to myself.

I checked the time.

05:20 AM.

Not surprising for an insomniac.

I stared at my phone for a moment.

Well, I can’t text her now. She’s probably still sleeping. I’ll text her later.

It wasn’t like I didn’t want to. I just didn’t want to seem clingy.

It’s better to keep myself busy for now.

I put on my AirPods, opened my playlist, and played I'll Be Your Man by G Flip. It felt like the perfect way to start the morning.

I did my chores, completed my morning workout, and took a bath. Once I was done, I served myself breakfast before finally picking up my phone.

The moment my screen lit up, I noticed she had texted me.

I smiled immediately.

Honestly, she had been on my mind the entire morning, but I had forced myself not to check my phone while I was busy.

Seems like someone’s awake, I thought to myself as I opened the messages.

Ezra: Hey Violet, I didn’t know you sleep this much. Gosh, I won’t keep you up that late anymore.

08:05 AM

Ezra: Heyy, are you still sleeping?

08:50 AM

Ezra: I’m beginning to believe you disappeared on me.

09:30 AM

I laughed softly as I read through her texts.

Gosh, she was something else.

I checked the time.

09:40 AM.

Only ten minutes had passed since her last message.

Violet: Good morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?

Violet: Sorry, I was busy. I actually woke up around 5 AM, but I thought you were still sleeping, so I decided to text you after I was done with everything I had to do.

Violet: And don’t worry, I don’t disappear on people.

It didn’t take long before my phone showed that she was typing.

I smiled.

Ezra: Oh, so someone finally decided to show up. I was about to give up on you.

Ezra: I slept well. What about you?

Ezra: Oh okay, I see. Still, a little “good morning” text wouldn’t have hurt. I texted you the moment I woke up.

Ezra: Let’s hope you keep your word.

Violet: Wow. Giving up on me that fast?

Violet: I slept well too, thanks.

Violet: Oh, so you’re the one who woke up late? Then who exactly sleeps too much?

Violet: And I always keep my word.

A soft smile stayed on my lips as I stared at our messages.

Somehow, in less than a day, talking to her had already started feeling natural.

Like something I didn’t want to lose.
