OMG, I didn't mean it like that!

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Sure you didn't, lol

ANYWAY, lol. Did you forget something?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Forget something?

Yeah, in my car. I'm assuming that's why you're texting?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):…Something like that.

I stop pacing and look at my phone, alittle confused.

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

What does that mean, lol?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):I didn’t forget something so much as ran out of time.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):To be fair, you DID run away, lol

I can't believe he would bring that up! So much for thinking he is a gentleman.

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

I did NOT run away!

Adam (Champagne Flutes):The skid marks on the sidewalk in front of my apartment beg to differ.

Oh my God! You are such a jerk.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):LOL

So what did you run out of time to do,anyway?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):You really don't know? Or are you just playing coy?

I really don't know. And I couldn't "play it coy" if I tried, lol.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):I was going to kiss you, silly!

Adam (Champagne Flutes):I was actually going to kiss you silly, LOL. Isn't that customary at the end of a first date?

What?! Here I am thinking he was trying to let me down easy when he wanted tokissme? My apartment suddenly feels about 150°F.

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

Yesterday was a date?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):It certainly felt like it to me…Unless that was someone else I was flirting with all the way back from Cape Cod.

Make that 200°F. My face must look like a strawberry at this point. I take off my now sweaty cardigan.

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

I MAY have been the TINIEST bit flirtatious

Adam (Champagne Flutes):If that's true, then I MAY be the TINIEST bit Korean.
