To what? Get in your pants? I still don’t even know who you are!
I laugh out loud as I read his last text. I can’t believe I don’t even know who this guy is, yet I’m sitting here, sharing my entire life with him.
This is the most honest I’ve ever been with someone. I’ve heard the term “keyboard warriors” to describe people who aren’t afraid to start shit on the internet because they can hide behind their keyboard. Even though they tend to be more negative with things, I feel like this is something similar to that, only in a positive way. I need to tell my friend he’s really onto something with this app.
Guilt washes over me for the stupidest reason, so I decide to come clean.
I didn’t tell you earlier, but I, too, know one of the guys behind this app …
Dots appear and disappear multiple times, and my heart starts to pound a little more as I wait for his reply.
Wait. So, you’re telling me you know who I am? Have you been hiding that this entire time?
No!!!
I get that fact out as quickly as I can while I compose my thoughts more.
I only know Joey. He said he’s only met you once and would not give me any more information.
Joey? Is that the guy who works at the bar?
Yeah. He’s my best friend’s brother.
Then you tried to find out who I was?
Hell yes, I did! He said I was going against the entire reason for the app by trying to find out who you were. Blah. Blah. Blah. But then he said he honestly didn’t know much more about you.
I’m glad he didn’t.
Why is that?
Because I like this. Getting to know each other on the same playing field. It wouldn’t be fair if you knew who I was and I didn’t know who you were.
Do you always play fair?
I try to at least …
CHAPTER TEN
Zoe
The girls and I take a morning yoga class every Saturday, which I barely arrive on time.
“I take it, you were up late again last night,” Macy says with a knowing grin.
“Yes,” I whisper as I roll out my mat.
Macy turns to face me on her mat. “How do you talk to someone for that many hours?”
“It’s romantic,” Chasity chimes in, and I smile her way.
Once I’m set up and seated on my mat, I ask them, “Any connections for you guys on the app?”
All of them shrug and shake their heads. Then it dawns on me.
“I haven’t looked at the guys on there since the first day to recommend anyone to you! Have you guys been doing that for each other? I forgot I was supposed to be searching for you this whole time!”
Candace lets out a laugh. “No, I haven’t since that first day either. I guess we can’t find matches if no one is suggesting guys to us.”
