Fine. I really like it and right now, I can't stop thinking about how I'd like if you said it to me out loud it.
You're only saying that because you're tipsy.
u might be right but I really dolike it
You like it when I use your name, but you want me to stop using it?
Please
But what if I don't want to?
I have to pull the phone away for a second; catch my breath. And I'm starting to feel hot all over now. Again, it could be the alcohol. Maybe it's the way I feel texting Kyran. But that's not logical, is it?
Then my phone buzzes again.
11:33pm
The Uber is pulling up now.
I look up to see headlights approaching and I wave him down to make sure he doesn't pass me up in the dark. The car pulls up right next to me and I take a slow exhale before entering the car, not really believing that I'm doing what I'm right now. The driver asks for directions to my destination, and once I give them to him, I text back Kyran.
11:37pm
I made it in.
Thank you for letting me know. I can letyou go now if you want?
NO
Omg sorry, I didn't mean the all caps
Lol. It's fine.
So… what kind of music is the driver listening to?
That's a weird question lol
I know. Just trying to keep the conversation going for you.
Umm… I can't be too sure it's even music. It sounds more like… trash cans rubbing up against each other
Well, now I'm curious.
I have an idea… answer your phone?
Sure.
I hit call and it doesn't ring more than twice before he answers. My heart beats with anticipation and I get nervous when I hear him say hello, but I don't say answer back. Instead, I just swallow the lump in my throat and push the phone closer to the speakers, hoping the driver doesn't catch me. As the music plays, I decide to open the text thread.
11:40pm
Can you hear it?
Yes, and the way you described it is actually perfect.
Right?
I keep the phone held out for a few more moments, allowing him to hear more of the music but then I end the call, feeling weird that I didn't even say goodbye to him. But I don't have time to think about it too much when myUberdriver arrives at my apartment a few moments later. I pull my cash out to leave him a tip but he waves me off and tells me that he was instructed not to take my money and that he's been paid generously.
