Explain.
Adam:
What am I supposed to do with myself for the next seven days?
Jolene:
It’s after midnight, so technically
six days now.
Adam:
That’s a long time to wait for something pretty.
I hesitated before texting back. Was that how it was going to be from then on? Was he going to keep digging and digging until he got so far under my skin that the only way to get him out was to rip it off?
Adam:
Jolene?
Jolene:
I’m not used to you like this.
Adam:
You’ll get there.
Jolene:
I’m not sure I like it.
I bit my lip waiting for his response. Guys were so sensitive. If I shut down his flirting, I could end up shutting down a lot more than that.
Adam:
Fine. I’ll stop, but as long as you
keep sending me texts like this, it’s game on.
He pasted in a text I’d sent him the previous weekend:I’m here. Why don’t you back that thing up and come over?
Jolene:
I was quoting a song.
Adam:
Is that the rule?
Jolene:
I was being funny. It’s different.
Adam:
So I’ll be funny.
