Any plans for the rest of the night? I mean, it’s hard to follow up bathroom karaoke, but…

Eating Oreos (filling only).

Good Guy

Filling only? Barbarian. Do you have something against the delicious chocolatey cookies on the outside?

1. They’re the opposite of delicious. 2. They aren’t chocolatey, they only appear that way to deceive. I don’t like trickery where my food is concerned.

Good Guy

Fair enough. I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m a Chips Ahoy fan.

What have you been up to tonight?

Good Guy

Worked late. Eating some pizza now and then I need to try to get some sleep.

I want to ask what he does, but I also like not learning everything at once and letting the details unravel slowly.

Do you always work nights? And what toppings? Toppings are telling.

It depends. And pepperoni.

No veggies?

Good Guy

Sadly, I eat like a six-year-old.

As long as you’re not six. Because if that’s the case, your grammar and vocabulary are exceptional, but I’m probably going to hell/jail for participating in the cock convo.

Good Guy

Sorry, I just blew water all over my phone and lap. Pretty sure some of it came out of my nose. No, I’m not six. I swear I’m legal.

You should go clean up and get to bed.

I yawn at the thought of sleep, even with all the sugar flowing through my veins.

Good Guy

I should.

Before I can reply, another message comes through.

Good Guy

I don’t want to because I’d rather talk to you, but I should.

That little fluttery thing is happening in my chest. It’s not heartburn. Maybe it’s the weed? Is this normal?

Yeah, me too.
