@girl_sees_the_world:
First-world problems.
@worth_traveling_to:
I know, but it was the best random thing I could come up with on the spot. What’s keeping you awake when you should be sleeping?
There’s no way I’m telling Mr. International that a hot kiss with my coworker is keeping me up tonight. So, I go with the easier answer.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I lied too. I’m a liar now. I just thought you should know.
@worth_traveling_to:
Welcome to the fold.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I’m not proud of it, and I’m giving you fifty percent of the blame for convincing me that I needed to make my ex jealous.
@worth_traveling_to:
Only fifty? Why not one hundred?
@girl_sees_the_world:
The other fifty percent of the blame goes to my co-conspirator.
@worth_traveling_to:
I thought I was your co-conspirator.
@girl_sees_the_world:
No, you’re just my pen pal.
@worth_traveling_to:
Just a pen pal? I hope I’m a little more than that. (winky-face emoji) But in my defense, I never told you to lie. I just told you to act like you’re thriving without him.
@girl_sees_the_world:
And to make him jealous.
@worth_traveling_to:
Well, did it work?
The truth is, I got so lost in the kiss with Nate that I didn’t even notice if Isaac saw it or not. He seemed tense the rest of the night, so maybe.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I think he was jealous, but that’s beside the point. Now, I’m a liar, and the lie puts me in compromising situations the rest of the week.
@worth_traveling_to:
Compromising situations?
