WellI’vechanged the rules on that…now what do you want to eat tomorrow lol don’t makeme guess.
He messaged back quickly and I could almostimagine the smile on his face.
Oh, the quiet reader has a bossy sidethat matches those tattoos huh?
He had me very curious about his definitionof bossy.
Yes, but you only get to see that sideif you behave.
He made me wait longer that time, and Iwasn’t sure what he was thinking. Had I overstepped some invisible boundary?When my phone dinged, I smiled.
It’s a good thing you can’t see how redI am.
It was my turn to make a confession.
NoI likedseeing you blush.
That had been the right answer, or at leastnot a wrong one, because he messaged back quickly again.
Not commenting on that lol…back tofood…um…anything you don’t like?
Had he changed topics because he’d gottenuncomfortable or because he hadn’t known how far to take the flirting? I had afeeling it was possibly both. The question in his mind was probably how far topush the guy who’d thought he was straight until just a few days before. Gettingback to what I was supposed to be texting him about was harder than I’dexpected. Flirting with him felt natural…easier than I’d thought it would.
I’m open to just about anything. There’sa new place a few miles from downtown. It seems to have a mix of things sothere should be plenty of options.
It wasn’t a chain restaurant, but I’d heardgood things about it. Evidently, they had everything from steaks to fancy tacos,so we’d have to see how it tasted, but no one had said anything bad about ityet.
Sounds good. I think Eli and hisboyfriend were there the other night. He said it was good if I’m thinking ofthe same place.
Do you want to meet over there or do youwant me to pick you up?
As careful as people were in dating, Iwasn’t surprised when he texted back immediately.
I’ll meet you there.
But then the follow-up made me smile.
Not because you look creepy or becauseas your stalker I’m supposed to be mysterious but I might have a late shootdepending on people’s schedules.
His job had to be a bit like mine in thatnormal hours didn’t always apply, so I could understand the need to beflexible.
What time do you want to eat? 7 soundgood?
I was hoping that would be late enough forhim, but we could make it later if he needed us to. I was just curious to seehow it would go.
That’d be perfect. It’s been a long dayfor me so I’m going to head to bed but I’m excited about dinner.
Then just as quick…
Not that I’m trying to sound clingy orweird…I’m just a stalker not nuts.
Laughing, I wandered back over to the tableand sat down.
Good to know. You go to bed, I’m goingto work on my project for a while. I’ll see you tomorrow.
I wanted him well rested for our date, andsomething about his texts said he wouldn’t mind my being a little bitcontrolling.
Night bossy
