“So when are you spending the night with me again?” he asked.

“I knew that was coming.”

“Well?”

“You’ll have to wait and see.”

“You are a sweet torture, Riley Dawn Martin.”

FOUR HOURS LATER

Rhys:Jackson just texted me. He and Rachel decided to kick it old school and have a pasture party tonight. They want us to come.

Me:I would love to!

Rhys:What about our plans to go out to eat?

Me:I’ll grab something here before you pick me up. No biggie.

Rhys:Then I’ll let Jackson know we’ll be there.

Me:Do you know if everyone’s bringing snacks?

Rhys:They are. We’ll grab some on the way.

Me:This is going to be so much fun!

Rhys:No doubt about it.

Me:

Rhys:What have you been doing since we hung up earlier?

Me: I cleaned my momma and daddy’s house and did their laundry so they can relax this weekend.

Rhys:That was sweet of you.

Me:Now I’m doing this.

I took a quick selfie and texted it to Rhys.

Rhys:You’re torturing me again.

Me:Like my pink bikini?

Rhys:I love it. Damn.

Me:Wish you could come over and swim with me. The water feels amazing.

Rhys:I’d do more than swim with you.

Me:Send me a picture of you.

Rhys:I’m covered in sweat.

Me:Don’t mind a bit.

Rhys:Hang on.
