Me:How do I know if a guy is coming over me?
I read the text back and choked back a laugh. Oh shit.
Theo:WTF? It’s pretty fucking obvious. Are you ok? What the fuck are you doing?
Me:No no no – I wrote it wring
I tried desperately to write out the right message, before this all got worse.
Theo:Wring?
Me:Shut up.
Theo:Arielle? Do I need to punch someone?
Ugh, just hold on I am typing!
Me:No!
Me:I meant, how do I know if a guy is coming over for me, or because he wants to have sex with me?
Silence.
My cheeks were bright red, I hid behind my hair. Which was stupid, no one in class knew what I was talking about. I kept looking at the phone,nowhe wanted to take his time? The reply finally popped up on screen.
Theo:Who is coming over?
Me:Jay
This was a stupid idea.
Theo:I see.
Me:You’re mad
Theo:No
Theo:Yes? I don’t know…
Me:He isn’t his brother…
Theo:You don’t know that.
Me:Colton isn’t Connor! Ugh never mind, I am not going down that road. Are you going to help me?
Theo:Help you find out if you’re going to have sex with Jay? No.
Me:Oh…why?
Theo:My advice? Have sex with the guy you actually want to have sex with and stop being stupid. Both of you.
I put my phone down in disappointment.What would he know anyway?
I trudged home somewhat disheartened but then what did I expect? They were loyal to a fault. I shouldn’t have asked.
I sat in my room and considered my wardrobe. Did I dress for him or did it make sense to just be myself? I thought about back when I was with Connor. I had never gone to any special effort, he had been happy with who and what I was.
They all were. I should just be myself. I needed to stop overthinking.
