Shae typed back. And then her mind froze. This was the point where things usually got weird for her. She could go the small talk route. Something felt off about that though. Should she just straight up ask him out? Then they could do the awkward face to face. Did she even want to go out withAidan?
Um, dude?her brain chimed in.How many times did you and the other women in your office talk about how sexy and sweet Aidan was?The answer was literally every time they saw him.Should I ask the dumb question?Of course she should. She wanted to know theanswer.

Aidan answered right away thistime.
The classic fear of dyingalone.
Ah, that oldchestnut.
I guess I shouldn't feel sospecial
about your swipethan.
Since you're desperate andall.
She added awink.
I wanted to see if you were stillbaking.
I still dream about that chocolatecaramel
crunch thing you made for theoffice.
You wanna come over and taste my sweets?She started to type, but she couldn't hit send. Aidan knew her. Not really well, but enough for that kind of cheap come on to come off as weird. She knew exactly how he'd respond. He'd say “as a matter of fact, yes” and then they'd sext until things got weird or they'd actually set up a booty call and then things would get weird. She was tired of things getting weird, but she knew it was already too late for things not to getweird.
Things got weird with every guy she'd talked to on the app. Also, as hot as Aidan was and no matter how much she’d seriously considered sleeping with him in the last few hours, she wasn’t sure if she was ready to go through with it in real life. She needed to be sure. Shae deleted her cheesy come on and started to type something more sensible, likeWell it was nice talking to you again... Before she could hit send another message from Aidan poppedup.
Let’s get off this app for onenight.
Shae instantly felt hot all over. Was he asking herout?
