Day 1
————
As soon as I open my eyes, I check my phone to see if I've gotten a text from him yet.
Sure enough, I have.

good morning
I stop myself. Preventing a small smile from forming on my lips.
Yesterday, him and I spent almost all day texting back and forth.
Yet, I still can't tell you much about him.
He knows my favorite things, my age, even my zodiac sign. But whenever I tried to ask him those same questions in return, he would switch the subject back to me.
I don't even know his name.
attitude.

youre right..
attitude.

(407) xxx-xxxx
come over tonight and help me sleep.
My eyes widen in surprise.
Not because of what he said, but because of what I was about to say.
The words 'i'll be there' are typed up on my keyboard, too damn near close to being sent.
Why am I planning a second link-up this fast? I barely even know this guy.
We have one good conversation and I'm already getting comfortable.
When I get attached, that's when I start to catch feelings. And I refuse to catch feels and lose this little bet with Essence.
Not only for the tickets, but my pride is at risk.
I turn off my phone and walk to my bathroom, I brush my teeth and slide on some shoes before making my way to the elevators.
Riding my way up, I reread his text to the point where I have each word memorized.
'come over tonight and help me sleep.'
I'm glad my read receipts are off. I can always say I didn't see the text if he asks what took me so long to respond.
Normally, I leave people on delivered if I have no interest in them. But this time I have no clue know what to say.
