Colson: hey its colson. i got your number from rook.

Allie: why are you even texting me if you have a girlfriend?

Allie: she probably wouldn't appreciate that.

Colson: i wanted to apologize. i didn't know you had a thing for me.

Allie: i don't have a thing for you anymore. it's all good.

Colson: i really am sorry, allie. i didn't mean to say it like that.

Allie: okay.

Colson: are we good?

Allie: yup, we're good.

Colson: so will you come back to the house? rook is pissed at me because you left.

Allie: can't. i'm busy.

She really was busy. She was now back at home to find that her toddler had completely destroyed the living room so she was collecting toys and taking them to his toy box. She just wanted her toddler to take a nap so she could. She was too high for all this walking.

Even if she weren't busy, she wouldn't go back over there. She said they were okay, but she wasn't over it yet. She needed a little time to reach that point so she was going to keep her distance, or try to. Her phone buzzed again.

Colson: wanna come to my birthday party this weekend?

Allie: you still have birthday parties? aren't you like 35?

Colson: im 29 thank you.

Allie: still an old man to me lol.

Colson: fuck you.

Colson: you're a baby.

Allie: i'm 22. i'm legally an adult.

Colson: legally.

Allie: so now you're gonna bully me too?

Colson: you're bullying me.

Allie hated to admit it, but she found herself smiling at her phone. She wanted to keep her distance and yet here she was responding to him. Couldn't she just listen to herself for once?

If she went to his party, his girlfriend would more than likely be there and that would make things even more awkward. She replied with the word 'no' before she picked up her son and carried his squirming body to the bathroom for a bath.

As soon as she got him in his pajamas, her phone dinged, signaling a new notification. "That better be Jesus." She mumbled under her breath as she went back into her room to retrieve her phone, a sigh of relief leaving her lips when she saw Rook's name.

John: you're coming to the party.

Allie: no the fuck im not

John: yes you are. you can hang out with me.

Allie: sounds like drama waiting to happen.

John: i won't let her start any drama with you.

John: i had no idea about her by the way.

Allie: so you want me to come there just to hang with you?

John: you can be my date

Allie: lol this is a joke right?

Allie: am i being punked?

John: wow so rude of you.

Allie: you have me intrigued.

John: oh so you don't wanna be my date but you'll be dom's okay
