Tarrant

Texts @ Night

*Saturday 10:45 PM*
*BZZ BZZ*
I picked up my phone. It was a text from Angel.
"Are u still awake?"
"Yeah. Why whats up? :p"
"Nothing, just bored. What r u doing cutie?"
I froze. "What do I say?" I thought. I thought for a while before typing back, "Can I call?"
"Ofc."
I heard her ringer a couple times before she picked up.
"Hey! What's up? Something you want to talk about?" She asked.
"Umm...yeah. About that whole 'relationship' thing...well, this is embarrassing but I've never actually been in a relationship. And about the other day, I'm sorry for blue-balling you, err, whatever it's called for women. I'm going to be honest, I'm a virgin. So I'm not going to lie, I was a little intimidated by your assertiveness." I stammered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Tarrant. That was uncool of me, I didn't know. I just sort of thought-"
"No, it's okay, I liked it! I really did..."
"It's just that you're not into me like that, huh?" She asked, sounding a bit broken-hearted. "Look, I get it. I'm your boss, I'm 28 and you're 22-"
"It's not like that at all! I'm really into you. Like a lot. I just wasn't ready yet. Things were going too fast. But if you want, I'm willing to give a relationship a try. You know, just take it slow." I said.
"I'd love to. So it's official? You're my boyfriend?"
I gulped. "Y-yes."
"But we can't tell the others at work. We need to keep our love life and work life separate."
"Totally agreed." I said. "So uh...goodnight, baby?" I said, shyly.
"Night, baby." She blew a kiss through the phone, and hung up.

I understand what I've been feeling this whole time. I'm in love.
