ERIK
Hey! It’s Erik
I had a great time talking to you last night :)
I stare at the messages I sent to Luke, going over them and overthinking like an idiot.
I’m being way too eager, right? And why did I have to use that damn smiley-face? It hasn’t even been a day and I’m already hitting him up, which he might interpret as me trying to get in his pants.
I mean, yeah, I’d be lying if I said that didn’t cross my mind a bunch of times. While Luke might not be an athlete, he could’ve fooled me—I could barely tear my eyes away from his body last night, and even then, it was only to drink in the sight of his attractive face. Life sure chooses favorites, and Luke might as well be a number one draft pick.
And unlike most guys in the past, Luke actually tried to keep a conversation going with me. Sure, there’s only so much anyone can do to counter the initial nerves that I’ve never been able to shake, but he didn’t run for the hills after one too many awkward silences. I’ll take that as a rare win.
And he called me cute.Me. The confident, smoking hot, way out of my league stranger called mecute. What Luke sees in a lumbering, awkward, generic hockey player is beyond me, but coming from him? Holy shit.
Like, I know I’m decent looking—my face is okay, I’m not unsuccessful on the apps, and my mom says I’m handsome, but I can’t put much stock into that. Guys tell me I’m hot mid-hookup, when theyhaveto. Not during an actual conversation, and not when they look the way Luke does.
He texts back before I have a chance to fall deeper into my thoughts.
Luke Tremblay
Hey! I had fun last night too
How was morning skate?
A smile tugs at my lips as I read his message. Leaning against the arm of the sofa, I sit up and reply.
Same as usual, but it’s over now
I flip my phone around, waiting for Luke to text back. My fingers hover over the keyboard as I type out a double text.
I have tomorrow and Monday off, wanna grab drinks sometime?
Desperate, much?
