My phone vibrates, showing Tek’s name, and guilt consumes me.Shit, I forgot about him…

Quickly, I shoot off a thank you text to him for checking on me, but I don’t even wait to see if it’s been delivered before I click back over to Frank’s message, reading the new message he’s sent me and I lay down chuckling.This guy is crazy.

Frankie : I really do miss you Jessica.

And he’s sweet…

Jess: You’re a smooth talker I see…

Frankie : No… why is it working?

Frankie : Are we best friends yet?

I laugh, typing back quickly.

Jess: Not even close

Frankie : Damn! Just break my heart why don’t ya

Jess: Sorry, you cool and all but my best friends spots are filled

Frankie : I want one of those spots Jessica.

Frankie : I want it bad…

Jess: Well that’s too damn bad

Frankie :

Frankie : I bet if you give me a chance by the end of the night I change your mind

Jeez… he’s too much

Jess: Challenge accepted

Frankie : that’s what I like to hear. A girl who isn’t afraid of a stiff challenge.

Jess: Actually I thrive in high-stakes environments.

Frankie : Oooo talk dirty to me

I snort a laugh unable to keep myself from chuckling, but when I see a message from Matt I curl my lip, mood instantly taking a nosedive.

Matt : Where are you?

I don’t respond because he doesn’t deserve an explanation. I go to block him, but before I can, another message pops up.

Matt : Whatever. I knew you’d flake on me.

Matt : We’re done.

Matt : I cheated anyway.

My blood boils and I desperately wish I’d pulled over and curb stomped him, but I press block and throw my head back, sighing.Men really are fucking trash.

When I feel my phone vibrate in my hand, I look up thinking I might not have blocked Matt correctly, but a smile spreads on my face.

Frankie : Did that scare you off?
