Probably “The Sexiest Man I’ve Ever Seen” or “Hottest Cowboy Ever” …just to give you a couple ideas.

Ellie

Wow…both great choices! However, I’m thinking of something a bit shorter. Maybe “Egomaniac?” or “Captain Ego?”

Unknown

Captain? Now we’re talking.

Ellie

Glad I didn’t suggest Lord High and Mighty. You’d probably require I bow at your feet.

Unknown

I would never suggest that. Kneeling, maybe.

My eyes widen at the text on my screen and my cheeks heat. I glance over at my dad to make sure he’s not watching me blush.

Did he seriously just say that?Is he flirting with me?

I’m not good at that. If anything, my resting bitch face is part of the reason I’ve been single for years.

Ellie

Um…didn’t you say I forgot something? Are you gonna tell me what that is or add it to the long list of other shit I don’t know?

Unknown

Depends. Did you change my name yet?

Smirking, I roll my eyes and edit his contact information. Then I take a screenshot and send it to him.

Ellie

Here, I gave you a promotion.

Major Ego

HAHAHA

He adds a dorky sunglasses emoji.

Major Ego

Now you know this means you’ll be required to salute me.

Ellie

Of course.

And then I add the saluting emoji.

Major Ego

Okay good. Well the thing you forgot was me telling you a memory. In the hospital, I mentioned I would in a few days assuming you didn’t get it back by then.

Ellie
