ROSE

Rose:It’s been three days.

I type, annoyed that it’s Tuesday and I haven’t seen or heard from the guys since we made our deal. As soon as I agreed to the rules, Holden told me to go to bed. Alone.

Rose: I met a guy. Super cute.

Rose: He hasn’t texted me yet, but he will soon.

Rose: Fine, I’ll start since I can see that you three have read the messages and are just ignoring me, and I also know you’re all home.

Rose: Let's pretend he already started flirting, and now he’s getting a little suggestive. Oh! I bought these…

I send a pic of the three vibrators I bought when Ren took me to the mall.

Nash: Fucking hell, Rose. Why?

Rose: They looked like the most fun.

Nash: No, why are you showing us?

Rose: You’re supposed to be teaching me. I’ve never used one.

Holden: Heaven help us all.

Lorenzo: Turn it on, stick it in your pants, boom, done.

Rose: Hahaha, very helpful.

Nash: He’s not wrong.

Holden: We’re not helping you masturbate. You’ve been doing that just fine on your own.

Rose: I’ve actually never used one of these. So, not really.

Nash: Radioactive…

Lorenzo: What?

Rose: Aren’t you supposed to teach me how to sext?

There’s no response, so I send a message just to Nash.

Rose: Should I send him pics of me using it. In the future, I mean. Like…

I send a pic of me holding the wand in my pants like Lorenzo suggested, but it’s off.

Nash: Were you sent by the government to test out a new form of torture?

Rose: Lol, no. Would this be torture for him?

Nash: Not just him.

Rose: Teach me.

There’s a long stretch of time with no reply.
