Chapter 2 - The Text

So it's been a week since the library thing. I was getting a bit paranoid. I did see him in the hallways all week , but all I got was a "hey Mila " and a smile. We didn't quite get a chance to speak again since then.

Back at my house after campus...

I was practically pacing up and down in my room. I was literally a nervous wreck for some reason. While Nadia was Laying on my bed like she owned it, watching me freak out.

" Are you Sure you gave my number to him? "

" I'm Sure Mila , chill he will text you his probably just busy, we do have a ton of projects due."

" But Nadia! I'm not Sure I can deal, I'm going crazy here you know, the not knowing, the wonder "

"Idea, why don't you just text him, you have his number"

" No, Definatley not a good idea to make the first move, plus , I just want to be his friend remember? Not like I'm expecting a relationship"

" Well then it shouldn't be that hard, text him!, at least if you do you won't have to wonder in space with you crazy negative thoughts"

" Okay, okay, I'll think about it, before you say something to him again" I said, reminding her if the last time she attempted it.

" You do that love, just remember, it may just be the best option. But I really need to get going, I have things to do, people to see" she stated as she left my house in a rush.

So after contemplating with myself, not long after Nadia left, I decided to take some actions. O stared at his contact for a little while, not knowing what to type.

Me: " Hey, it's Mila, girl you met in the library."

Then after typing, wondering if I should hit send or not. I stared at my phone screen until, finally had the courage to hit send with my eyes closed.

So all I do now is wait thought.

So, I continued my daily chores, did some studying and even had time to watch a movie. I ended up watching " Love Rosie " , wishing I had a friendship like the actors in the movie.

When the movie was over I got in bed, wondering if he got my text or not. Then I just started dosing off for a while ....

Beep!

The message tone of my phone woke me.

I stared at my phone screen with literally no words.

Tate: " Hey Mila, so sorry I haven't got the chance to text you yet. Ive been swamped with work."

Me: " I hope you dont mind me texting you first , and It's fine, no worries, just thought I'd send you a message incase you forgot."

Tate: "Of coz, I don't mind, and Who , would forget you?, I promise I didn't forget I just really been busy"

Me: " Honestly, Nadia made me text you"

Tate: "Well, I'm glad she did, you need to take matters in your own Hands once in a while "

Me: " You sure? You don't think it's too forward?"

Tate: " Not at all, I'll make you a deal, since we don't have much time to speak at college, promise I'll chat to you everyday. If I don't get to it, I encourage you to at least text me once a day."

Me: " Even when we extremley busy? "

Tate: "Even then okay? "

Me: " Don't say I didn't ask, I shall be annoying you 24/7, so be prepared, I'm serious . "

Tate: " Bring it on, I can take it I'm Sure, try me"

Me: "We will see, but hey, Im super drained, mind if we speak again tomorrow? "

Tate: " Sure, no problem, Goodnight Mila, See you soon"

Me: " Goodnight "

That was the end of our conversation. I was so tired I didn't even have time to be excited that he replied. Then I just dozzed off.
