I hear my phone vibe on my nightstand just as I settle into bed. I roll over and grab it to see the notification.
DEC: Is it weird if I miss you?
My heart flutters and I smile to myself as I read the message over again.
I start to type my response when another text comes through.
DEC: Fuck it I don't even care
DEC: I miss you
I smirk to myself.
ME: How high are u?
DEC: Very
DEC: But it's true
I type that I miss him too, then add a heart emoji. Then delete it. Then add it again. Then delete it. Finally, I settle on a different one and hit send.
ME: I miss you too 💋
I immediately panic after it sends, of course.
I was going for flirty, but is that how he's going to take it? Am I coming off clingy? Is that too romantic-adjacent for him?
DEC: Why is that so fucking hot?
I nearly snort with laughter.
Not particularly sexy, but that's the benefit of texting: he can't see how awkward I'm being in real life.
ME: Which part?
DEC: That you miss me
DEC: The kiss
DEC: That it's you on the other end of the phone
DEC: All of it
I sigh and clutch the phone to my chest for a second. It's getting harder and harder to convince myself I'm not falling in love with Declan Saint-James. And I don't know what to do about it.
He's not exactly the romantic type, but then he says and does these things that—in his own way—are pretty damn romantic.
I decide to change the subject before I get all giddy and say something embarrassing.
