Page 1 of Wrong Number Text

Leo

Dixie: Hi, Tim. This is Dixie from the accident.

Dixie: Please text insurance info you promised.

Two days later

Dixie: Still need insurance stuff. Please?

I SET MY BEER DOWN. I ignored her texts two days ago. I thought she would just go away. I don’t like texting people I know, much less strangers, but it looks like I need to deal with this.

Leo: Tim sounds like an asshole.

Leo: He also gave you a wrong number.

Dixie: Are you serious right now?

Dixie: I hate men.

I smile at my phone. A first for me. I hate my phone. I only ever scowl at it.

Leo: I’m a man.

Dixie: Sorry! It’s not your fault.

Leo: If you find him, text me back. I’ll beat him up for you.

If the guys at the station knew I was using emojis right now, I’d never hear the end of it.

Dixie: [smiley] My hero.

Dixie: I wish there were more guys like you.

Leo: My last gf would disagree.

Dixie: Don’t ruin my fantasy!!

Leo: You’re fantasizing about me already, huh?

Dixie: Sure, LOL. Help me out. What are you wearing?

[heart-eyes emoji]

Leo: You don’t want to know my name first, baby?

Leo: I feel so used.

If only it was this easy to flirt with women face to face, I’d be a real Casanova, like my buddy Drew. He does all the swiping and never sleeps alone. I don’t actually know what swiping is.

Dixie: JK. I’m not the kind of girl who sexts with strangers.

Leo: My name is Leo.

Leo: There. Now we aren’t strangers.
