Give Love a Chance (J.T.K)

- Liquor and Love -

With the seasons changing Halloween was a weekend away, leaving you to decide if it was actually worth it to go out this year or stay inside and binge horror movies. Instead of actually deciding on a plan or idea you conferred internally to text the one person who you suspected would have some semblance of an actual plan for the season.

Grabbing your phone off the desk in your room, you shut the lid of your laptop and leaned back. Your thumbs typed out a response before you almost chickened out.

        You:

        Any plans for all-hallows-eve?

        Sent, 11:39am

You clicked your tongue in wait of a response, finding entertainment in scrolling aimlessly through some social media app. Soon enough however (you knew you could either wait forever for a response or have one immediately from him) your phone chimed and the notification popped up on the top half of your screen. Immediately your thumb swiped over it so you could read the reply.

        Joshie K:

        Oh, miss me that much? You've come to the right place. I have a buddy who's throwing a "bash". Sammy and Danny are coming too :)

        Sent, 11:43am

Honestly you were surprised he'd responded fast and without sending a paragraph to do it. Josh had a habit of texting you at odd hours of the day, he was honestly who you talked with most besides Jake...

        Joshie K:

        Wait, have you texted Jakey today? I think he just woke up. Looks sad lol.

        Sent, 11:43am

The second text caught you off guard a little but you rolled your eyes lovingly at Josh's subtle hint to send Jake a good morning text.

        You:

        I have no plans for Halloween, that's why I asked... and ok i'm on it! Jakey cheer-up, here I go!

        Sent, 11:45am

You sent that text back and now considered asking Jake if maybe he wanted to go to a party with you this year. You could always invite Annie along too. You'd taken notice of the fact that she was hanging around the actual apartment a lot more. You didn't mind, but it would occasionally cut into your Jakey-time when she would watch movies with you both. That meant minimal time to make-out with him if she was always around.

You pushed the thought of asking her if something was up to the back of your mind when you pulled up Jake's contact information and sent off a good morning text.

        You:

       Hi lovie, hope you slept well! Do you want to attend a party this weekend with me?

        Sent, 11:47am

You didn't wait long for a response from him, both of you equally whipped for each other.

        Jake (from the bar):

        Hey baby, good morning to you too ;)

        Party sounds good 2 me

        Sent, 11:48am

Now that you were reading his contact name you figured you should definitely change it. You kept it that way mainly for nostalgia sake because meeting him that night would forever replay in your mind, but now it was just a running joke for you and you only. That was okay, you weren't sure Jake knew- your contact name in his phone was literally your name with a red love heart.
