Tenley

Also thanks to JD, I might have overdone it with my exciting prospects for tonight.

The thing is, we’ve agreed to take it slow…but we’re all staying in the same hotel…and I might have slipped him my room key in front of his brother as a joke.

Loren

And now he’s offering to keep you warm tonight?

Also, DAMN, GIRL.

Tenley

Yeah, pretty much. *see-no-evil monkey emoji*

Loren

Since you mentioned “taking things slow,” I’m assuming this comment is relevant: I can’t imagine JD being the kind of guy who would pressure you into sex before you were ready.

Besides, from the way he’s been talking about you, I think he likes you too much to risk making you feel uncomfortable or jeopardizing his chances.

Tenley

You’re absolutely right. He’s been super respectful of my boundaries, and I know I can trust him.

Tbh, JD isn’t really the problem…

I mean, how exactly am I supposed to football-and-chill alone in a hotel room with freaking Thor Lite while he fawns over me and not let things go too far? *melting face emoji*

(Apologizing in advance, I may be feeling a little hormonal today.)

Loren

Well, my friend, I knew you liked JD before, but I had no idea you rated him at a Hemsworth. Though, I’m totally getting a ‘Ragnarok’ vibe since you mentioned it.

*gif of short-haired Thor*

I guess you’ll just have to decide what you’re really looking for here. Are you still trying to keep things casual? Or do you want a slow burn while you build a strong foundation and a lasting relationship?

(I think we both know how he would answer that.)

Tenley

Thanks. That all makes a lot of sense.

I just hope I’m able to remember it later.

Loren

Yeah, that wasn’t rhetorical. I actually want to know how you feel about him.

Tenley

Oh. Well. I haven’t really thought about it, I guess.

It took getting to the point where I couldn’t ignore how much I liked him before I could even wrap my mind around it…Idk if can handle love and all that other serious stuff.
