Okay, he’d made me laugh already. This was an example of why I needed to be brave.

LUCA: Yeah. I made something frothy all right.

HARPER: You sure did. ;) Had to shower when I got home.

LUCA: After I met my buddies, I noticed a few dried splotches in my leg hair. LOL.

HARPER: Haha. Still wearing them?

LUCA: Why don’t you come over and find out?

He didn’t answer immediately, and I wondered if I’d gone too far.

HARPER: Nice try, but I’ll live in ignorant bliss.

LUCA: I’d give you the finger if we were on FaceTime.

HARPER: A finger’s a good place to start, but maybe you want to give me more? ;)

My dick got hard as soon as I read the words. I was sure to need a big jerk sesh before bed.

LUCA: Guess you’ll have to wait until you get back to find out.

HARPER: I’ll survive. We still going to text while I’m gone?

LUCA: Absolutely. What time’s your plane tomorrow?

HARPER: Afternoon. I have something with my new job in the morning, then I’ll be on my way.

LUCA: You’re serious about hanging out when you get back, right? If you aren’t sure, just say so.

Typing bubbles appeared, then stopped. Seconds dragged by until they started again, and it seemed like an eternity until a message came through.

HARPER: Very serious. Why? Are you having second thoughts?

LUCA: Not at all. I was wondering if we could go out next week. We can hang at my place or wherever, but it would be fun to have a date.

HARPER: You willing to wear a mask?

There I was, trying to be serious, and he made me laugh again. Fuck him, I couldn’t let that pass.

LUCA: If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I’d fart. :)

HARPER: I’d give you a nasty look, but you’ve already got one. :)

LUCA: Go fuck yourself. ;)

HARPER: What if I said I’d rather you did it for me?

My heart skipped a beat, and my dick got a little harder.

LUCA: I assure you, that can be arranged. ;)

HARPER: I’ll hold you to that. When do you want to go out?

LUCA: If you’re coming back Monday, how about then?

HARPER: I won’t be back until Monday night, remember? Would Tuesday work?
