𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐓 the phone for a few seconds before jumping off the couch

“HOLY SHIT!”

“OH MY GOD”

Jasmine tosses the phone onto the couch.

“What are you doing?! Answer it!”

“I can't! What if I say something stupid!?”

“You won't!”

Alexis grabs the phone and presses it to Jasmine's chest. Jasmine holds it against herself, hesitating.

“Go on! Answer it!”

“Okay, okay!”

After running to her room and closing the door behind her, she stares at the caller ID once more. Gulping nervously, she presses answer.

“Hello?”

“Hey, is now a good time?”

The sound of his voice makes her sigh.

“Yes, yeah, of course. Is there any reason why you're calling me orrr?”

“No reason, really. I guess I just wanted to hear your voice. Is that okay?”

“Very okay! I am, like, so okay with that,” She squeezes her eyes shut, embarrassed. “Sorry, I'm a little nervous right now.”

He laughs, “Do I make you nervous, Amor?”

Her breath hitched, “What did you call me?”

“I told you I'd give you a nickname, didn't I? Just Thought your middle name fit.”

“Right, yes, but... you know what it means, right? In english?”

“‘Course I do, love. Is it alright if I call you that?”

Jasmine wasn't sure if she was imagining hearing the smile in his voice.

“It's perfect. You can call me anything you want, Andy.”

He sighs, “I really like hearing you say that, Amor.”

“Well I like saying it.”

There's silence on the line for a few seconds.

“I miss you quite a bit, you know?”

Jasmine laughs, “We talk all the time, how can you miss me?”

“I don't know, I just... I just do.”

The nerves she was feeling somehow increased ten-fold.

“...I miss you too.”

“Listen, I want to see you again. In person.” He says.

“You do?” She smiles sheepishly.

“I really, really do. I know this might sound crazy, and you can tell me no if you want to, but... would you want to visit soon?”

She laughs in disbelief, “Visit? In London? I'm in New York, and I have rehearsals for Hamlet next week-”

“So you're free this week?” He interrupts.

“I... I am.” She confirms.

“Now you can tell me to back off. But I just... really want to see you.”

She's quiet for a few moments.

“Okay.”

He whispers, “Okay?”

Jasmine giggles, “Yeah, okay. I'll come see you this week. I'll have to get a plane ticket but-”

“Let me take care of that, please.”

She nods before realizing he can't see her.

“Alright. I guess I'll see you this week, then.”

“Can't wait, Amor.”

“𝐒𝐎, 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐃 he call about?” Alexis asks with a smirk.

“Oh, nothing too important...”

She quirks an eyebrow.

“Just that he miss me and wants to see me and is paying for a flight to London so I can visit him this week!” She gets out with a huge grin.

“WHAT?!” She jumps up and down before hugging Jasmine.

“This is amazing! He's so into you it's OBVIOUS!!”

Jasmine bites her lip, “You really think so?”

“Bitch, I KNOW so. He'd be stupid not to!”

She laughs and puts her hands on her cheeks, “God, I hope so.”
