Matt's entire body stiffened slightly when he realized that Lyla had drifted off to sleep. Why was it that the second you realized you couldn't move, your big toe begin to itch more than it's ever itched in your life?
It wasn't that he was disgusted by Lyla or anything of that nature. Cuddling with her was just far too relationshippy and it made ever inch of him squirm.
Unable to fall asleep, he settled himself by restarting the movie and watching it repeatedly. Call it a phobia, but Matt could not sleep with a girl unless he'd just worn himself out and... he really hadn't.
