Not the date I had in mind...

How it started...

Hey, can you pick me up a cold brew on your way home?

sorry, wrong number.

Oh, dang. Can't even remember my own sister's new phone number. And I was really wanting that cold brew too:(

why?

 Could use something to cheer me up</3

:/ need somebody to talk to

How do I know you're not some old creepy guy, hmm?

eww you make me sound weird plus who uses proper punctuation when they text? if anybody is creepy it's you. lmao, I'm Holly(she/her) you wanna talk?

Hey! don't come after me for the way I type Miss. Im-too-cool-to-use-capitals. I'm Sam(they/them). And ya, sure why not:)

touche. what's been on your mind lately?

                 I'm buried in homework and I've just been in a slump lately. Just need a small break from it all.

and your go-to is Tims?

Of course, Tims's cold brew any day of the week.

alright fair enough, this next question could make or break my opinion on you, you ready?

Yup, shoot.

what donut

Boston cream all the way, no question.

good choice

I'm glad you approve ;)

and now for my next question...

You have a lot of questions, don't you?

hush you, lemme ask my question

Fine, ask away

why don't you just go to tims yourself

Huh?

just walk there instead of asking your sister to get you some, the fresh air would be a nice break and change of pace 

I actually never considered that, you might be onto something...

I know, Ima genius 

Well now I just feel dumb

awee nooo, you would have thought of that... eventually

Idk, you are pretty smart ;)

are you... flirting with me

Idk, am I?

if you are I accept

In that case, I guess I am.

well, I guess I have another question

Another one?

of course, what else do you expect?

Idk, what's your question.

its more like a statement ...

mhmm

a proposal I guess

Holly.

yes...

Just say it already.

well uh, I was thinking maybe if we called or face timed or something, then I could also walk to a timmies near me and it would kinda be like going together

Like a date? are you asking me on a date?

yes?

Yes? Do you not know?

yes. I am.

Like I said before you're pretty smart, and yes, I'd love to.

wait really?!?! okay then:)

Okay:)

Sam's phone buzzed in their hands, Holly's name appearing. Sam ran a hand through their hair as they pressed the accept button. Holly's face filled the screen. Her bright smile was contagious.

"Woah," Sam whispered.

"'Woah,' what?" 

"I knew you were pretty smart, I guess I just didn't expect you to be pretty and smart."

A blush covered Holly's cheeks. The pair walked to Tim Hortons while on facetime, ordering the same thing; a large cold brew with a Boston cream donut. Sam sat down and talked with Holly. They finished their drinks and agreed on another tims date in the future.
