And I don't think she has actually moved.
I'm not texting her again.
Me
I just want you to reach your potential.
You work fucking hard and well.
What the actual fuck am I even saying? It is like I'm just vomiting words.
"Put the phone down. Just put it down. Christ."
But I can't.
She is looking at her phone like she is about to call the cops and slap me with a restraining order, and I wouldn't even blame her.
Me
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that. Shit.
She slowly smiles.
Lola
Are you drunk?
Me
Not yet.
Lola
Do you want me to do extra work, or did you have a bad date?
Oh, shit, I think she bought it. I take another deep swallow.
Me
I know I come off as the big bad wolf sometimes, but it's just because I'm sorting out Louie's mess. And yeah, maybe both.
Lola
You can't let them know your personality on the first date. J/k.
Me
I am your boss.
Lola
You texted me late, not the other way around. And what's this job?
Fuck, I'm going to have to come up with something.
Me
It's not big, I just need it done tomorrow by five.
