Such a flirt - Timothée Chalamet

16- irl

- I can't believe I let you talk me into this, I say as I let my bag hit the floor of the greatest apartment ever.

- Well you can't live in a hotel indefinitely and you had to put your stuff somewhere, answers Timothée letting others of my bags hit the floor.

- It's still really weird.

- Why? Cause I'm into you?

- That's exactly why, we take my bags to the guest room and go back to the entrance. You're great, and I'm happy we became friends but I did just break up of a longtime relationship and it's weird living with someone who's crushing on me.

- No I'm not "crushing" on you.

- Being into me and crushing on me is basically the same thing.

- Alright fine, but I'm not an animal, I'm civilised and I can be friends with you. I will be into someone in the blink of an eye, he snaps his fingers.

- You did the right gesture with the wrong expression, I laugh. Anyway, thanks for bringing all the bags upstairs, I'm having dinner with Tom so I'll be back at I don't know hour, I say as I leave. See you!

- Bye friend!

As I'm walking down the street to join Tom at the restaurant, I receive a message of Timothée saying 'I'm already over you' followed by 'Not that I ever was into you'. I laugh and I see my best friend already seated at our table outside.

- Tommy! I shout waving at him. Hi! I hug him and sit on the front chair.

- Hey Alex, so how was the move in?

- It's not a move in, it's a temporary solution that I agreed to but did not come up with. It's cheaper than a hotel, closer to the studio and the apartment is so amazing.

- Yeah we all know you love his place. What I really want to know is, how is it knowing you're gonna live with Timothée for a while?

- I'm already looking up apartments in Brooklyn.

- Come on Alex I know you. It's been awful with Thomas for months, you'd already lost the spark way before meeting Timothée and a few weeks after you two met, you've broken up, left your place and moved in with the guy.

- Yeah what's your point, the waiter arrives and cuts our conversation to take our orders.

- You met Timothée, Tom continues, you realised you had a better time with him than your own boyfriend, thought it was nothing, then you met again and broke up with your boyfriend because he clearly saw you had more chemistry with another guy than him and then you had no second thoughts when he offered you to be his roommate. You would not have said yes so fast with anyone else.

- I would prefer living with you or Veronica or Kiersey or Sofia or Mitchell or Ariana or Claudia or-

- Yeah I get it, he interrupts me.

- But none of them actually live in New York or they have boyfriends and girlfriends so it's not really possible.

- Mmh, he rolls his eyes.

- My point is, nothing is going on between Timothée and I. I only accepted moving in with him while I look for my own place because it's convenient for me. No other reason. If you weren't living with Zendaya we'd be at your house right now.

- You could've lived with my brothers. You love my brothers.

- I do love your brothers but I'd rather still live with Thomas than with them.

- Really? he raises his eyebrows knowing damn well I'm lying.

- No that's a lie but in no circumstances would I agree to live with your brothers.

- I'll tell them you said that.

- Don't care, I mean it go ahead.

- You're really telling me you don't like Timothée even a tiny bit?

- I just got out of a relationship!

- That doesn't answer my question.

- Your question is stupid.

- Still not an answer.

- Yeah well I don't have to answer it.

- I knew it. You do like him!

- Alright fine! I give up and the waiter comes back with our meals. Maybe just a little. I'm a horrible person.

- What? No you're not why would you say that?

- I broke up with my boyfriend, that I once thought I would marry, and I'm already thinking about someone else?

- Alex you've stopped being in love with Thomas for a while now. You're not cheating on him.

- I know but still, I start eating my pizza and mumble to myself, mmh this is so good.

-He's probably out with someone as we speak.

- That could actually be true, when we met he'd just broken up with his previous girlfriend.

- He's a dick. But your heart had a lot of time to move on, he pauses, do you feel bad right now about the breakup?

- Not really... I feel bad for not feeling bad.

- You shouldn't. Your heart hasn't cared for him in weeks so even if the real breakup was a week ago, your heart broke up with him way before, so you already grieved your love for him.

- You're so wise, I mock him.

- Shut up.

- But thanks, I smile, that was actually really helpful.

- So. You and Ti-

- Moving on!
