Please elaborate because I didn’t know you were even into someone

I fell out laughing. Only Alex would react to something like that.

Chloe

Hold your horses!

Alex

I’ve never held a horse before. I’m not sure if I know how to hold one.

Chloe

It’s a date with my mom and Arielle, not with a guy

Alex

Sorry But in all seriousness, I’m happy for you! I like going on special dates with my dad, though we haven’t gone out in a while ourselves.

Chloe

Neither have us ladies. It’s going to be fun. Finally something to look forward to in this mess we’re in.

Alex

You guys really deserve it.

Chloe

Thank you.

I racked my brain for something else we could talk about. So I picked possibly one of the worst subjects ever.

Chloe

If I did start dating a guy, how would you really react?

Alex

Huh?

I nearly slammed my head against my desk. What happened to the carefulness I usually had?

Chloe

Sorry

I was just curious since I found your reaction to the date thing funny and all.

Alex

Oh

Oh. That didn’t sound good at all.

Chloe

Crap, did I say something wrong?
