But I guess this works too ;)

Eggo

I see how it is

I’m not as good as the others because I don’t live with you

Fine then

I panicked slightlyafter sending the message. What if he couldn’t tell that I was joking? That could be hard to understand. Then he would think that I was serious and didn’t want to talk when I actually really did want to, and it would all be wrong. Why couldn’t I unsend messages in group chats? That needed to become a feature on here to save me from mortifying moments like this one.

Bay

Well the solution to this is obvious

I exhaled as I read his message. That didn’t sound like he hated me for what I said, so that was good. That was something.

Eggo

I move in with you?

Bay

Exactly

Eggo

Wow we’re just one mind

Bay

Maybe we should move to texting instead of group chat

I feel bad for the guys getting all the notifications

I tried not to read into the idea that he wanted to text me one-on-one too much. Part of me was so excited about it—even though we had literally talked on the phone last night, this felt more intimate for some reason. Maybe it was because it wasn’t an accident. Maybe it was because he was suggesting it. Maybe I was just crazy. But it felt special.

The first text came through from him a second later.

Bay

Hey :)

It’s Bay

But I assume you know that

Since we were talking in the other chat

But maybe not

I don’t know if you have my contact saved

You probably do because you texted me the other day

Crap sorry for all the messages

I held a hand over my mouth to muffle the sound of my laugh as I read the influx of messages. Maybe I wasn’t the only one who was nervous.
