Me

It’s a surprise

Freckles

Tell me anyway.

Me

If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise

Freckles

I don’t care for surprises.

Of course, she doesn’t. Surprises are fun.

Freckles

Just tell me so I know what to wear.

Me

I was thinking something lowkey, like the Meltwich on Orleans

Freckles

Meltwich? I can make grilled cheese at home.

Me

Not like these!!

Freckles

Grilled cheeses are the easiest sandwiches.

Me

Are you saying you can make it better than them??

Freckles

100%

Me

Challenge accepted and holding you to it

Freckles

Whatever.

Freckles

Tell me now, or I’ll show up wearing this.

Three little dots flicker on the screen before a bathroom mirror selfie appears. Full brown waves lead to a lacy, black bra and tiny matching panties covering her smooth, tan skin. My jaw drops. My eyes bulge. A thread of drool drips from where I’m practically frothing at the mouth. I suck it back in.
