shecago_shicago: omg did you make this up??

shecago_shicago: oh

I ignored the chat blowing up to get to my texts, and nervously got to his earlier message. I have to concentrate to sound literate, but I think it makes sense. Fingers crossed.

(9:08) XXX-XXX-XXXX: Hey, Keisha. It’s the guy from your diner (and Walmart).

(9:53) Me: Hi! Sorry about the delay; it took forever to close😭 Anyways, I just realized I never asked your name, so…

Much to my surprise he responds immediately. Must not have work tomorrow. 

“Ohhh,” I laugh out loud. “He’s a smart-ass.”

When I read his message, I can’t help but grin, and I immediately give him a contact name. He’s still typing when I screenshot, but the chat is getting too testy to hold off delivering the receipt. 

(9:53) Myster-Dee: I wondered when you’d ask. My first name is Angel, but my friends call me Dee because of my middle name. 

(9:54): That’s a very nice first name, and now I’m intrigued about the second one.

(9:54) Myster-Dee: I guess you’ll have to keep talking to me to find out. 

(9:54) Hmm🧐 I suppose so. I let you off the hook for now 

(9:55) Myster-Dee: typing…

Kei_LimePi:  -Kei_LimePi sent a picture-

shecago_shicago: *gasps like a Victorian woman*

dontyackonmyyum: *in cardi b’s voice* ooooowwwww 

Maxxxine_the_staaaaaaaar: BOOO the straggot agenda is succeeding

Venus_noSerena: bitch, if you don’t ignore us and go live it up

mickeyisticky: A FREE BIRD’S GOTTA FLY

shecago_shicago: go my sweet summer child, live!

Kei_LimePi: FINE. teehee, gn💖

Switching apps, I’m happy to see he left a message for moi.

(9:55) Myster-Dee: I won’t be up for much longer (tbh today took the piss out of me), but I would love to text/call tomorrow if you're free. 

(9:57) Totally! I don’t work until 2pm, so I’m free before then.

(9:57) Myster-Dee: Are you an early bird? I can’t shake off my internal clock.

(9:58) Not particularly. But once I’m up, I’m up.

(9:58) Myster-Dee: Damn, so I shouldn’t send you a text when I wake up.

(9:58) I’d probably wake up and answer it, but it might not make much sense. 

(9:59) Myster-Dee: I’ll take anything if it’s from you.

I feel my face heat up as I stare at the last text. Sticking my face in a pillow, I let out the smidgest of screams. Am I in an alternate reality or something? Why is this man making me feel some type of way?

(10:00) Well, I say your chances of getting ignored are low. And with that, I bid you goodnight.

(10:00) Probably for the best before I embarrass myself more. Sweet dreams, Keisha.
