Page 79 of Let's Get Textual

“You think you’re so savvy with these dates, don’t you?”

He shrugs. “I like to pretend I know what I’m doing when it comes to charming my way into your heart.”

“My heart? You have lofty goals, Zach.”

“Shut up and come here.”

He grabs my shirt and drags me closer, cupping my face with his hands and bringing his lips down on mine.

We share a brief kiss, knowing we’re more than capable of getting carried away.

“Text me?” he asks, his thumbs caressing my cheeks.

“It would be weird if I didn’t.”

I pull away, giving him a wave as I head back into my building.

Out of nowhere, I hear a wolf whistle, shrill enough to echo off the surrounding apartment buildings.

“I hate to see you leave, but Iloveto watch you go, baby,” Zach calls.

My cheeks are on fire as I quicken my pace, a huge smile on my face.

Zach: So, I didn’t want to mention this earlier but…

Me: You cannot fucking send texts like that!!

Zach: Oh, sorry. I dozed off. I didn’t sleep much last night. Can’t imagine what could have possibly kept me up. Hmm…

Me: Zach?

Zach: Yeah?

Me: Are you making fun of my snoring again?

Zach: Me? Nooooo. *bats eyelashes innocently*

Me: You know, I was thinking of considering last night our second date, but…

Zach: I take it all back! Your snoring is the most beautiful part of you.

Me: Better than my ass?

Zach: And your sass.

Me: You’re dumb.

Zach: I love it when you talk dirty to me.

Me: Omg. Why did I ever let you into my bed?

Zach: It was the Harry Potter underwear.

Me: How could I forget.

Me: Aren’t you supposed to be working?

Zach: Nah. I called it a day about an hour ago. I’m having dinner with my brother.
