I bark out a laugh at his response. I’m relatively certain I’m not supposed to find internet strangers funny, but there’s something about the seriousness with which he took the question that amuses the shit out of me.
ChaosQueen:
I’m flattered you think I’m worth tanking a 100,000 dollar car for.
RenegadeRush
I’m pretty sure you’re worth a whole lot more than that, but I’ll be needing you to ask me some more first date questions to be sure. That was a good one, but how do I know you’re not a one-hit wonder?
ChaosQueen
My brain is a wild place. I promise you there’s more where that came from.
RenegadeRush
Okay, well, if that’s true, then I propose a little game.
ChaosQueen
What kind of game?
RenegadeRush
One first date question per day, per person.
ChaosQueen
Just one?
RenegadeRush
One from each of us.
ChaosQueen
Why not just ask a whole bunch of questions now?
RenegadeRush
Sometimes good things are worth waiting for. Besides, if we ask each other all our questions now, there might not be any reason for you to talk to me tomorrow, and I really like talking to you.
I read his last message over and over again, coming to realize I really like talking to him too. This is…not how I expected my day to go, but I’m rolling with it.
ChaosQueen
I guess you’re okay, but I’m really an instant gratification kind of girl. I’m not sure I want to wait until tomorrow.
RenegadeRush
Patience, ChaosQueen. I promise I’ll make it worth your while. And tomorrow, I get to ask the first question.
ChaosQueen
That presupposes you asked the second question today, but I don’t remember that happening.
RenegadeRush
When you’re right, you’re right.
