She goes to bed.

Carmen lacked self-control, and nobody would argue otherwise... But she wanted to be a good friend, at least. She put her phone on the nightstand and rolled onto her back. It wasn't long before she remembered that there wasn't a hope in hell for her to go to sleep without background noise. Grumbling, she rolled back over, reached for her phone, and went to YouTube to turn something on to help her go to sleep.

As she was searching for some kind of empty noise to drown out her thoughts, she realized just how sleepy she was. Shit... Maybe I coulda fell asleep without the tunes, she mused as she finally found a soft rock playlist that she figured would help her conk out. Then she repeated the process of tossing down her phone and rolling back into a comfy position.

DING!!! Just as she felt herself starting to drift off to sleep, she was roused by a notification. She checked the time, and realized it was fifteen minutes after midnight. Fuck, even less time to sleep than before, she thought wearily, and checked the message. Her brother wanted nudes. She rolled her eyes, only half-serious, in response. They'd fooled around a lot, especially during lockdown. Never all the way - she wasn't that slutty - but enough to pass the time. So, of course, him asking for nudes wasn't all that unexpected.

I wouldn't mind teasing him a little, she pondered, but I really need to go to bed. 'Sides, give that fucker an inch, and he'll take a mile. If he got too riled up, he might not stop bugging her. On the other hand, giving the horny bastard what he wants might make him leave her alone... Meaning Carmen could finally catch some much-needed ZZZ's.
