A long moment passes before she responds.
Blondie
You got me the truth is I don’t trust that you have any ideas that aren’t coffee related and believe it or not I need this to work out just as much as you do
“Wow, she mustreallybe into her cosplay,” I muse just as my phone buzzes again.
Blondie
People will start to get bored of us soon if we don’t shake things up and if it makes any difference I could use the distraction
Sitting up, I press my back to the headboard. She’s not wrong about us needing to up the ante a little, though I’ve been wary of doing that with the worry of what might happen once her name gets out. I might even finally muster the nerve to talk to her about it, except…that last part of her message sinks its claws into me and refuses to let go.
She needs a distraction? From what?
I’m about to ask her when I remind myself that Blondie’s personal life isn’t any of my business. I wouldn’t have cared three weeks ago, and I definitely do not care now so long as it doesn’t interfere with or impact our agreement.
Shaking away my fleeting concern, I text back:
Me
Okay but nothing weird like a couples painting class or some shit
Her next message arrives quicker than the previous ones.
Blondie
Oh you mean weird like taking a total stranger on a shopping trip and buying them tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothes they don’t actually want?
Me
Can you technically be considered strangers if you’d had your dick inside the other person? Asking for a friend.
Another text comes through a split second after mine.
Blondie
Or what about showing up in said stranger’s lecture like some kind of stalker? That kind of weird?
Me
If I recall correctly you were the one stalking me pill lover
My phone vibrates with her response, and as I read it, I stifle a laugh at the mental picture of Blondie’s face. She’s like a Jigglypuff, adorable even when angry.
Blondie
Call me that again and I’ll shove a up your
Me
Don’t threaten me with a good time
It occurs to me that she might not be above poisoning my coffee one of these days, so I hastily add:
Me
All joking aside what did you have in mind?
