Abigail opened her eyes in the middle of the night to go ease herself and she resisted the urge to hiss when she remembered that she had gone to bed upset that Jamal had spent so much time talking to Genevieve.
What had they been talking about anyway? She had been too upset to want to listen to any explanation so the moment she walked inside her room she had placed her phone on airplane mode and gone to sleep with music playing in her ears.
Sitting up on her bed she picked up her phone without turning on the light in the room, and her heart raced with anticipation as she disabled the airplane mode and waited to see Jamal's message.
The messages came in almost immediately and she stuck her tongue in her cheek as she read them.
> Jamal: Weren't you waiting for me? Why did you leave like that?
> Jamal: I'm in the kitchen. Bob just introduced me to everyone. Are you coming?
> Jamal: You didn't go to bed, did you?
