Deceived by love

Chapter 3

(Edited on 10/12/21)

*Snapchat from Rhett C.* My heart began to beat faster, even though we have been talking regularly through out this past week, that notification will never be anything I will get used too. Just thinking about the fact that a famous person even knows i exist is insane to me.

I click my snapchat app and wonder if I want to open it right away or wait so I don't seem to eager to talk to him first thing in the morning. After a while of contemplating I decided I would get ready for my 'busy' day of doing nothing because Bailey and I both finally have the day off.

I got out of my pajama's and put on comfy lounging clothes and put my hair up in a messy bun. I didn't want to get ready on my only day off this week. I realized that I was not fully ready to be out of bed for the rest of the day so I grabbed my phone and clicked on instagram.

I refreshed my feed from yesterdays loaded media and the first thing that popped up was a post from Jack Wright, who is the drummer for the band saying:

"We are deeply sorry to inform all of our fans that we are having to post pone the rest of our tour dates, everyone who has purchased a ticket please hold on to them because you will be able to use them at a later date. We are not coming out with our reasoning just yet because it is just as heart breaking to stop the tour for us as it is our fans. Once again I and my band are all very sorry for this unfortunate outcome. With love, Jack Wilson."

I kick my blankets back off of me after only being in bed for a short time so I could go show Bailey. I lightly knocked on her door and heard a very groggy "come in". I slowly opened the door and wiggled my way into her bed cuddling up to her. Without a word I pull out my phone and have her read Jack's post. "Well thats odd, did Rhett say anything about this?" I took my phone back from her as she said that.

"I haven't opened the snapchat that he sent me this morning yet." I replied as I opened my snapchat app to see that he sent me another just text reply of a heart emoji. "Am I over thinking or is it weird that he never sends pictures of his face?" I ask her while trying to figure out what to reply.

"I mean it's kind of odd but maybe he wants to get to know you more on an emotional level and he doesn't want you to be just attracted to him for his looks and fame?" Bailey questioned

"I guess that is a pretty good reason. I know I am just over thinking it. Should I tell him I am sorry to hear about his postponed tour dates?" I asked Bailey "Yea, I would just shows that you care about him" Bailey said with a head tilt.

I typed out my response that said "I'm sorry to hear about your postponed tour dates, I don't need an explanation on why, just know I am here if you ever want to talk about it!"

"Does this sound okay?" I flashed my phone over in Bailey's direction and watched her read it carefully. "Yea, it sounds good. Just sounds like you're concerned about him but don't want to invade his privacy." With that response from her I pressed send and logged out of snapchat.

We decided to have a lazy day which consisted of us just laying around and doing miscellaneous things. After being bored and not knowing what to do anymore I decided it was time to finally check to see if Rhett responded to me. 

*Rhett Coleman: Opened 3 hours ago* "Great," I said walking down my apartment hallway and stopped in front of Bailey's room "Maybe I pushed a button mentioning the tour dates, he left me on open?" I said but it came out in more of a question than a statement.

"I doubt it, he probably just got busy. Normal un-famous boys are bad with responding, I can only imagine how he is!" Bailey said as she sat up in her bed. 

"I know you're right, but it's just nice to get attention from a guy." I laughed in response

"How about we have a movie night so we can take your mind off of it?" Bailey said as she was climbing out of her bed. "Deal." I replied as I kicked off my shoes on our floor mat by our door.

During the movie I got a notification and I quickly checked it to see that Rhett finally replied to me, assuming it was just an apology for leaving me on read I decided to ignore it and closed my eyes.

I woke up the next morning still on the couch, curled up in a ball, all cramped up due to Bailey sleeping on the couch as well. I internally laughed because our movie nights always end up with us waking up sore from sleeping on the same couch.

I grabbed my phone from underneath my pillow remembering that Rhett in fact snapchatted me back last night. After getting blinded from the brightness of my screen my eyes finally adjusted and I opened the snap text that read

*sorry, I had a band meeting with my managers and forgot to respond right afterwards*

I rolled my eyes because I was annoyed at myself for being upset he left me on read. But in my defense it's not everyday that your favorite band member adds you on Snapchat and continues to talk to you on it everyday.

I wanted to try and trick him into sending me a picture of his face so I sent him a selfie that read 'good morning<3' maybe he'll see it and totally forget that he has been talking in the text instead of with pictures. Not even five minutes pass by and I get a notification that Rhett responded. 

I quickly got into the app and noticed that it was the red box I have been hoping for.
