Avoiding much?

To John:

Not enough apparently

Another emoji, now a devilish smiling one.

From John:

My expert doctor opinion is that it’s always better to rip off the Band-Aid

My lips twitch at the tiny-horns emoji, and I shake my head.

To John:

I’m too tired to deal with you

From John:

Then I’ll let you go to sleep, but please take the test tomorrow

Good night

*kiss emoji*

I don’t reply.

The following evening, the moment my phone chimes, I already know who it’s going to be and what the text is going to say.

From John:

Did you take the test?

To John:

No!

From John:

Why not?

To John:

Because the idea of being pregnant with your child is extremely unappealing

From John:

Ouch, harsh

*broken heart emoji*

But not taking the test won’t change anything

I send him a “Put your arms up in the air like you don’t care” GIF back.

From John:

Very mature
