Andy, My Man.

Chapter eight: Publish?

Andy texted me again.
"Do we publish the fact that we are, well, us?"
"I'm not sure. Would we want to after the fact that everyone thinks that we wouldn't last because you used to be a player, so I'm not sure."
"Pretty sure they'd notice after I'm not publicly dating anyone for the past seven days." That's right, Andy and I had been dating for a full week now. And Julian still thinks we won't last more than a month. Said that Andy didn't have a good attention span to stay with the same person for too long. We are here to prove him wrong about that.
"I'm going to his soccer tournament tomorrow, by the way, lasts the whole day, getting signed out of school. Won't be able to see you until tomorrow." I message him.
"What? Am I going to?"
"No🤣" I respond
"Fine, but I really wanted to see you."
"And Julian," I respond in a teasingly way.
"So, are we telling people?"
"How about the next time we both go to school? Not actually tell anyone about it, but let them find out by themselves."
"Sounds good, babe,"
"Ooh, we should call each other nicknames," I say
"oh Andy. What about an animal?" I ask,"a rabbit. " "Got it. Bunny." I responded almost too confidently. "Okay" he texted back, I then realized how late it was at night, my phone read 1:15am that's not okay, I got upstairs at 10:00 and told myself I would go to bed.
"Got to go to bed babe, text you tomorrow, I'll send you photos from the game."
"I am relying on you, so don't forget to. It doesn't matter when you send them, but please do, especially the ones with your beautiful face on them."
I smile at that message for a while.
