“Melissa, you have to sleep.”
He sighed.
“Who said I need sleep. Nope, nope I dont. What I need is a double shot espresso.” I said smiling.
Sleep had been replaced with coffee. I mean so what if it made me a bit jumpy. I didnt have time for sleep. I was too busy.
“Melissa, if you don’t sleep you’ll go insane.”
He was only half serious now, but I scowled.
“Im not a child. I’ll sleep when im tired, and I am most definantly not tired.”
Okay, so maybe I did notice my eyelids starting to droop.
“Leave the coffee shop, and go to sleep.”
He was a bit more serious now.
“Im too busy. I have to finish this article.”
I hissed.
Okay, so maybe I was a bit grumpy when I was tired, so what?
I hadn’t slept in two days, and i was really starting to feel it now.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the car.
“James I need to finish this.”
I tried pulling away, and tripped.
He caught me.
“You’re tired. I’ll help you with it later. Worst thing worse, I’ll get you an extension on the due date.”
Than he helped me into a cab.
