YOU:
yeah that's fine, i don't mind at all. that's your name? grizi? where the hell are you from? and olivier? is that a typo for oliver or something?

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
it's good that you dont mind (-: and no my name isn't grizi, it's a nickname, a nickname for my surname, & no! olivier isn't a typo. i won't tell you where i am from because you might hunt me down

YOU:
me? hunt you down? ha, dream on "grizi". why would you make a nickname for your surname? where the hell are you from! and olivier isn't a typo? wow

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
let's not waste our time on olivier, he's a douchebag. yes i made a nickname for my surname, anything wrong with that? im from . . wherever you're from

YOU:
you are a peculiar person, mr. "grizi". and what if i want to talk about olivier? he seems nice. im from germany, you are too?

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
what's peculiar? olivier is a total douche, i swear. oh, i'm not german.

YOU:
olivier seems nice, so don't call him a douche. so you're not german? are you russian?

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
stop talking about olivier, you're making me jealous (; russian? are you kidding me? no way!

YOU:
you? jealous? please, you barely know me. i might be a murderer or worse, a 50 year old man. just be glad i'm not any of those. you're not russian? hm, are you belgian?

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
good, i have the police on speed dial, just in case you turn out to be any of those. i'm not belgian, i'm not russian, but i am european though.

YOU:
i am not a psycho, i swear. you're european? ah, i got it! you're dutch!

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
no, i am not dutch.

YOU:

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
fine! i'm french

YOU:
oh! i've never been to france, so you better take me there someday

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
oh wow, we haven't even formally met yet and here you are making plans.

YOU:
yes, indeed. i am very special. btw, you can call me val

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
val . . . what a cute name. i bet it's short for valeria! or valentina? valentine? valerie? well, you can call me anto or grizi, whatever sounds better

YOU:
valentine. it's short for valentine

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
it's short for antoine! valentine? like valentine's day? were you born on the 14th of february?

YOU:
no, i was born on the 15th of february. weird, right?

UNKNOWN NUMBER:
i have to go, i've got training early in the morning. i'll be talking to you soon, valentine! have a pleasant night!

I did not reply after that, seeing that maybe Antoine had already fallen asleep. I then found myself smiling after all the messages and I also found herself getting fond of Antoine. I grabbed my phone and decided to send him one more message.

YOU:
goodnight antoine! oh and btw, i saved your number under the name "grizi". have fun in training tomorrow!
