I don't remember when I drifted into deep sleep. When I woke up, it was still the middle of the night. The room was dark and quiet, with only the faint glow of the streetlight coming through the curtains.
Lily was sleeping soundly, nestled comfortably in my arms. Her small, warm body was pressed against mine, and her face looked peaceful and cute in her sleep. Funny enough, one of her hands was resting gently on my cheek, like she didn't want to let go even while sleeping.
I carefully got off the bed, making sure not to wake her up. I quietly left her room and entered my own, still feeling half-asleep. I rubbed my eyes as I walked in and collapsed face down on my bed with a tired sigh, the soft mattress sinking under my weight.
My eyes were already starting to close again when.
Buzz!
My phone suddenly vibrated. I reached for it sluggishly, my hand fumbling in the dark. I blindly picked it up, and the sudden brightness of the screen stung my half-open eyes, making me squint.
I sat up slowly and clicked on the notification. There was a photo attached to the message. My vision was still a little blurry from sleep, so I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand to see it clearly.
My eyes widened as I stared at the photo. It was a girl, completely naked. The image framed her from the waist up.
She was hiding her large, heavy breasts with one arm, but they were still spilling out softly from the sides, looking incredibly full and soft. Her other hand was covering her face, but I could still see the familiar silver-white hair falling over her shoulders.
"Rose!?" I said out loud without thinking. I recognized her hair instantly. My heart started beating faster.
'Why would she send me something like this in the middle of the night?' I thought, quickly tapping on the next photo.
This one was even more daring. She was only hiding her eyes with her hand, while her tongue was sticking out playfully, looking wet and lewd. Her bare shoulders and the upper swell of her breasts were fully visible.
Then came another photo.
This one was a close-up shot of her breast. Her pink, erect nipple was clearly visible, stiff and standing out against her fair skin. The photo was zoomed in enough that I could see every small detail.
My throat felt dry. These were extremely lewd photos. I was about to type a message asking her why she sent them when I suddenly noticed something.
It wasn't even her number.
My stomach dropped. A cold, uneasy feeling spread through my chest as I stared at the unknown number. My heart started hammering loudly in my ears.
"What the fuck…? What is happening?" I muttered, my hands starting to shake as I quickly dialed Rose's real number.
It rang for a long time, but Rose didn't pick up. I called again, but still nothing, just the endless ringing sound echoing in my ears. I kept calling again and again, my heart pounding harder with every unanswered ring, until I finally gave up and dropped the phone on the bed with a frustrated sigh.
Countless questions started spinning in my head. Was this some kind of sick prank? Did Rose really send those photos? And if she did… why would she use an unknown number? My mind was racing, filled with confusion, worry, and a strange, uncomfortable heat that I couldn't ignore.
I wouldn't have been this restless if she had sent those photos from her own number. But the thought of Mike possibly being behind it was what made my chest feel tight and uneasy, refusing to let me sleep.
I became restless for the rest of the night and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, those lewd photos kept flashing in my mind. The images refused to leave me alone.
When my heavy eyes finally shut from pure exhaustion, sunlight was already pouring into the room through the curtains.
"Alex? Wake up… you're getting late for school again," Mom's gentle voice called from outside my door.
I slowly sat up, stretching my stiff body and rubbing my tired eyes with a yawn. My head felt heavy, and the lack of sleep from last night was clearly hitting me hard. I had been so anxious and restless that I couldn't close my eyes, and just when I finally started drifting off, morning had already arrived.
"Alex! Wake up!" Mom's voice came again, louder this time, followed by a firm knock on the door.
"Yeagh— Ahem… yeah, coming," I replied hoarsely, my voice still rough from sleep as I forced myself to get out of bed.
My limbs felt heavy and sluggish, like they were weighed down. My head was throbbing, and my eyelids kept threatening to close on their own from the lack of sleep. Exhaustion hit me hard, but I still forced myself to get ready as quickly as I could.
I walked down the stairs and reached the dining table. Dad, Mom, and Lily were already having breakfast. Mom was moving back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table, serving everyone.
"Alex, you're late again! How many times do I have to tell you to wake up on time?" Mom said the moment she saw me, her voice carrying that familiar mix of worry and scolding.
"Come and eat quickly before you get late for school again!" She said as she served, placing a bowl of cereal and toasts.
I quietly pulled out a chair and sat down. Lily turned to look at me and immediately noticed the dark circles under my eyes.
"Big bro, your eyes look really tired… Did you not sleep well?" she asked, tilting her head with concern.
"It's nothing, Just didn't sleep much last night." I replied, forcing a small smile as I picked up my spoon.
Dad glanced at me over his newspaper and gave a small chuckle.
"Looks like someone was up late. Don't stay up too late playing games or on your phone, Alex. You're still growing." He placed down the newspaper and picked up the spoon as he looked at me.
I nodded without saying much and quickly finished my breakfast. As soon as I was done, I stood up, grabbed my bag, and left for school, still feeling the weight of last night heavy on my mind.
