[My POV.]
The next morning, I woke up to find a good morning text from him.

Stranger: *Good morning, beautiful.*

I smiled to myself and replied.

Me: *Good morning stranger.*

Stranger: *Going to work?*

Me: *Of course.*

Stranger: *What about tomorrow?*

Me: *Working...*

Stranger: *Will you be there late?*

Me: *I shouldn't be, why?*

Stranger: *Date #1*

Me: *So soon?*

Stranger: *Mhm... I'm impatient.*

Me: *I see that.*

Stranger: *Tengo ganas de verte.*

Me: *You have my picture.*

Stranger: *You're more beautiful in person.*

I let out a laugh as I felt myself blush. I don't know if it was because I was still half-asleep or because he was just too charming, but I decided to send him another picture with a teasing caption. I stood in front of my full-length mirror and took a picture of myself still only in my oversized shirt. I sent it to him with the caption: *Is this enough to hold you back?* A few seconds later he responded.

Stranger: *No me tientes...*

Me: *At least you have more to look at... I have to get ready for work now.*

Stranger: *I won't be able to focus on work because of you...*

Me: *Sorry... 🤭*

Stranger: *Then tomorrow we'll have our first date so you can apologize in person.*

Me: *Fine, I'll pick you up.*

Stranger: *Don't leave me hanging though.*

Me: *Wanna make another bet?*

Stranger: *Yes. What will you do if you forget about me?*

Me: *Send you lunch.*

Stranger: *LOL and if you don't forget?*

Me: *You'll find out at the end of our date.*

Stranger: *Don't tease me.*

Me: *It's a promise.*

Stranger: *I'm saving this message for evidentiary purposes.*

Me: *LOL, go ahead. Where should I pick you up?*

Stranger: *At the shop, if you don't mind.*

Me: *Alright, I'll message you when I'm on my way.*

Stranger: *I'll look forward to it.*

I put my phone in my purse and finished getting ready for work. The day was busy as usual but it made the day go by faster. I grabbed my things and headed home. As I was walking in, I got a message from him again.

Stranger: *Are you done with work?*

Me: *I just got home, why?*

Stranger: *Just curious.*

Me: *Still impatient?*

Stranger: *Of course.*

Me: *But I guess you didn't miss me that much.*

Stranger: *Why do you think so?*

Me: *You messaged me late.*

Stranger: *LOL, I didn't want to bother you at work... What if I couldn't control myself?*
