Lucy becomes engulfed with goosebumps as she opens the text.
Tim: What a night, huh?
Lucy: tell me about it LOL
Tim: We should talk about it.
Lucy: should we tho?
Tim: Yes, Luce, we should. We both saw what happened. We both FELT what happened.
"Luce," she mumbled to herself. He's never called her that before.
Lucy: enlighten me
Tim: So you're just not going to acknowledge it?
Lucy: not what i said
Lucy: i said 'enlighten me,' meaning i want u to start
Tim: Stubborn.
Tim: Okay, then. I'll be blunt. I wanted to kiss you.
Lucy squeals and has to refrain from throwing her phone across the room.
Lucy: i
Lucy: also wanted to kiss u 🫣
Tim: I'm glad we're on the same page. That would have been very embarrassing.
Lucy: wowww wanting to kiss me is embarrassing?
Tim: You know that isn't what I meant, you goof.
Tim: Wanting to kiss you would never be embarrassing.
Lucy: trying to fluster me over the phone, bradford?
Tim: I am doing no such thing...
Lucy: mhmm
Lucy: is that all u wanted to say?
Tim: Initially, yes, but I was also hoping that we could just...talk.
Tim: I like talking to you.
Lucy: awww
Lucy: stop it or i'll blush
Tim: What if I want you to?
Tim: Blush looks good on you.
Lucy: ughh
Lucy: why do u do this
Tim: You know why.
Lucy: can i call u?
Lucy: i miss ur voice
"Fuckfuckfuckfuck," Lucy squeals into her pillow as soon as she send the message.
* Ring ring *
She quickly removes her face from the pillow, composing herself enough to pick up the phone.
"Not even a response," Lucy spoke into the phone.
"Took too much time. Didn't wanna keep you waiting," Tim quipped.
"See, this is why I immediately regretted sending that text," she scoffed as she heard him chuckle at her annoyance.
"So," he began, "When did you get that tattoo? The one on your back."
