I couldn't fall asleep after what he said. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind restless. Beside me, I could tell he wasn't sleeping either because I could hear his breathing, which was too controlled for a person who's fast asleep.
Goodness! Why was it so hard to close my eyes and sleep? Why can't I do just that? Was it what he said? Or that a stupid part of me reacted strangely to those words. Which was all wrong in the first place.
He was playing the sleeping games, but I can't play it like he does. So since we're unable to fall asleep, I think I better use this moment to make my enquiries than waste it out doing nothing but staring up.
"You're still awake," I said quietly as a start, waiting for him to catch the bait.
The silence continued, nothing could be heard aside from his breathing and mine then after a short while, he breathed "So are you."
