Are you asking ’cause you miss me?

I might.

It’s been a long day.

Aw you poor thing. I’d come over, but I just got home and have to shower and write a paper for my English class.

You can come to my house and write it from bed. I have power cords wink wink.

Did you just make the word “power cord” sexual?

If I did, it was an accident.

You are so full of shit LOL

Sorry I can’t come keep you company—so you can stare at me while I try to type a paper. Which would be my worst literal nightmare.

How is that a nightmare?

You, staring at me while I’m trying to get things done?? No. Nothing would get accomplished, and I’d be screwed. I have English at 9 in the morning, and I’m not waking up at the butt crack of dawn to do my paper. Sorry sir, your begging is useless on me.

I guess I need someone to keep me in line. So few people do.

OMG LOLOLOL

omg WHAT? What’s so funny?

You admitting that no one tells you no.

I never said no one tells me no—but few people do. My brothers do not count. They say it all the time. No is one of Duke’s favorite words.

I’m sure I’ll say it to you plenty….

Want to video chat quick?

Um. No.

See? Doing it already.

You only asked because you knew I would say no.

Quite possibly.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I can’t stop thinking about our date the other night.

Which part of our date specifically?

ARE YOU FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS?

YES. Is it a crime to want my girlfriend to feed my ego?

Your ego is big enough, but I guess it can’t hurt for me to mention my legs are sore.

Your legs…or something else?

Something else.

Such as…??
