“I feel better already.” I blow her a kiss, and she catches it.
“Me too, Vi. Now can we go down a Cas Wilder hole?”
“Do we have to?” I whine.
“You will do this for me so I can live vicariously through you, because if the tables were turned, I’d do it for you.”
It’s hard to argue with her when she makes such logical points. “Fine,” I relent.
“Good, because he’s still active!” she squeals.
I roll my eyes. “Okay, lay it on me. What does his message say?”
She reads it, gasps, then passes the phone back to me. I read the message, panic, and shove my phone back at her.
“What do I say?”
“You sayyes, daddy.“ Roxy laughs, and I join in.
“Okay, but seriously, how about just an ‘okay’? Because I could go for getting under Jackson’s skin. You know he’s going to lose his shit when he sees the story from Cas.”
“There’s my petty little bestie. Get it, girl. I say make Jackson as mad as you want. It’s his loss. He stepped out of the relationship. You just closed the door and locked it behind him. But I think you can do better than just ‘okay.’”
I throw my head back in frustration. I don’t know the first thing about flirting or being single. “Why is this so hard?” I whine.
“It’s okay, babe, I got you. Let’s play this a little flirty with a side of hard-to-get. Trust me, a man like Cas is going to enjoy the chase. He’s used to getting what he wants; if you don’t give in the way he expects you to, it will only make him want you more.”Roxy is about to go down an entire lecture side quest on how to fuck with this man mentally when I shoot her a side look.
“Stop it. I trust you. No need to explain yourself to me—just text him and make it sound like me.”
“I’ll send the first message for you and then I’ll be here for moral support. You’ve got this.” She’s right. I do.
“Okay, let’s do it while he’s still live.”
Bonus Cas + Vivienne DM's
Cas: Don’t be a one-night stand. I’ll be back in Denver soon, and I want to see you again.
Vivienne: What if I’m out of town?
Cas: Why would you be out of town?
Vivienne: I have a career too.
Cas: ?
Vivienne: I guess if you really want to know, you’ll figure it out.
Cas: Don’t tempt me.
Vivienne: A little research won’t hurt you, rockstar.
Cas: If I’m your rockstar, you’re going to be my muse.
Cas: Once again, you’re speechless.
Cas: Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’re in town.
Vivienne: Ok.
