taz
did you really send me a you up text?

zoe
maybe
is that a crime

taz
not technically
but this feels like a trap

zoe
how would it be a trap

taz
i don't know yet
but this feels like a trap

zoe
i promise it's not

taz
yeah okay i'll believe it when i see it
what are you doing up?

zoe
i can't sleep
i wish you could have stayed over

taz
me too, but it's not the best idea with ethan there

zoe
i know
especially if you want to keep me as your dirty little secret

taz
little? yes
dirty? not yet

zoe
thanks for the reminder that i'm tiny asshole
being a responsible adult sucks so much i just wanna jump your bones

taz
for what it's worth, i would also like you to do that

zoe
would you like me to tell you specifically what i want to do to you?

taz
you'd better not
i'm already fighting the urge to drive back to yours

zoe
and how would you get back in without ethan knowing about it?

taz
i climbed through your bedroom window once before, i'm pretty sure i can do it again

zoe
taz you were 22 when you did that and i was living in my parents' house, not in an apartment on the fourth floor

taz
i think i could do it

zoe
please do not try
i am too scared of hospitals for you to do that

taz
stop teasing me then or i will show up at your window

zoe
ruin my fun why don't you

taz
just wait a couple of days
then we can have all the fun you want

zoe
good
i have five years of fun to make up for

taz
please tell me you're not intending to do that in one night
i don't know if i have the stamina for that

zoe
i don't know i might just keep you in my bed for a couple of days

taz
zoe
i need you to go to sleep now
or i will be breaking some laws to get back to your apartment asap

zoe

taz
