And honestly, it was kind of nice that someone cared enough to make sure I got home safe.
Charlie: I’m kind of a vampire connoisseur.
Kip: a wut
Charlie: I’m an expert. I’ve seen basically every vampire movie ever.
Kip: i likedTwilight
Ooh boy. If that’s Kip’s frame of reference for vampire movies, we’re both in trouble.
Charlie: Why are you asking about vampires?
I think I vaguely remember him making a dumb vampire joke last night, but I couldn’t tell you what it was. Maybe the guy has a newfound love of vampires. It makes me think I judged him too quickly, based on his jockiness. So far he’s been nothing but kind and a total sweetheart. Is Kip really just a big teddy bear?
Kip: my roommate tyson turned me into one yesterday
That’s what his joke was about last night! He said he was a vampire.
Charlie: Haha, very funny.
Kip: dont know y thats funny. so far its sucked
Charlie: Good one. Sucked. Classic vampire joke.
Charlie: You know, I actually heard about this new vampire/goth club that’s downtown. Maybe you should check it out if you’re that into vampires.
Kip: how bout we check it out together?
Woah, there. Is Kip asking me on a date? To a vampire club? Or am I reading too much into this and he’s actually just being friendly?
Charlie: As friends…or?
My cheeks flush as I watch his text bubble with three dots pop up, and then disappear. Of course it’s as friends, Charlie. What, just because another guy is nice to you that means he wants to suck your dick? Get over yourself. Besides, Kip is like wayyyyy attractive and wayyyyy out of my league. And he’s probably not into guys. He’s a nice guy, and is being friendly. That’s it. End of discussion.
Kip: y? u want it to be as more than friends? ;)
Ooookayyyy…is he…flirting with me?
Kip: cuz i’m not usually a dating kind of dude, but i’d make an xception 4 u
He’s definitely flirting with me. I mean, right? Nope. Kip is clearly messing with me. Being a jokester. I’m going to slide right past all of that and move on with the conversation. I’ll pretend that I’m not thinking about what it would be like to date Kip. Handsome, muscular, sweet, Kip.
Charlie: I suppose I can take you there, if you want. I’ve never been. Clubbing isn’t usually my thing.
Kip: OMG. yessssss. let’s do it. 2nite?
Kip: i don’t have any vamp clothes. or goth. idk what to wear! what if all the cool vamps judge me
Charlie: Screw them if they judge you. Wear what you want. Though there’s probably some type of dress code. So best to go with some jeans and a button up?
Kip: right on little dude. that’s why ur my new bff.
Oh boy, what did I just agree to?
I can’t believe I’m doing this. This isn’t like me at all. I NEVER go out clubbing willingly. I also don’t go out with random jocks a met the day before (and I still don’t know if he was being serious about this being a date, or if this is a friend hang). Buttttt, Kip seemed so excited when I told him about this place. The details of his appearance remain blurry in my mind after the copious amount of alcohol I drank last night, but I know he was hot. And had a wicked good smile with glittering white teeth. And I just bet that smile was spread wide on his handsome face when I told him about this club, Blood Rose.
I know I’m pathetic, alright? Pining after a guy I spent a total of twenty minutes with, who I can’t even remember all that clearly.
