In all of the excitement, I think we all kind of forgot one minor detail. We were going to have to pull off being 25 in person. No touched up photos, no hair in front of our faces, no hats, nothing. Just straight up natural....us.
And I honestly did not know if I could pull it off. I knew the other girls could for sure. They both still could pass for 25. But I felt like I looked older and wished I didn't. And when it came down to it, I really could not be sure that the guys or someone in their crew wouldn't call me out as a cougar the minute that we arrived.
Then again.......if our cover is blown, would the guys really care? It was all a bunch of real chances we were taking. All based on lies...
Before the guilt could get the best of me, I was on the phone booking extra appointments with my personal trainer at my gym and an appointment for a Botox touch up.
Truth be told, all I could think about was the rejection I was going to have to face when Luke finds out and slams the door on me.
By the following week, all the guys were following all of us, but none of them had spoken to each other yet. Nicole was kind of irritated that Michael hadn't direct messaged her because according to Luke, the guys were completely interested in hanging out with Nicole and Ty when we get there and Michael said he was going to DM her.
But in normal Pierra fashion, I wanted Nicole to just say fuck it and direct message him first. I'm pretty sure I sent her a daily text to bug her into DM'ing him, but she didn't. Nicole was just a bit more shy than I was. But she could get rowdy with the best of us. I was more pushy and Im not proud of that fact. But I just want to get shit over with. Good or bad...I prefer to just get it over with and see what happens, especially if it is on my mind. So when the text from Nicole come through while I was at work, I was really curious.
"So ...I was bored at lunch and direct messaged the idiot." She texted.
"Which idiot?"
"Michael."
"So !!! OMG!! Tell me tell me tell me ..."
"It's just easier to screenshot the entire conversation. I will send it to you. "
"Ok!!."
NICOLE: So here it is. I still cannot believe this!!!!!!
NICOLE: So...hi??
NICOLE: Hey, babe. How are you?
NICOLE: Hello.
NICOLE: Okay then.
NICOLE: Well so much for having connections and thinking this was going to be easy.
NICOLE: Fuck this shit.
NICOLE: Jesus Christ. What do I have to do to get a reply? Send nudes?
MICHAEL: You'll never know unless you try.
NICOLE: I see you prefer the direct approach.
MICHAEL: Well you asked!
NICOLE: Took you long enough to answer.
MICHAEL: Had to stalk your tweets. You know, make sure you're not crazy ugly or anything.
NICOLE: WOW.
MICHAEL: Just being honest.
NICOLE: I'm assuming you don't find me to be crazy ugly then?
MICHAEL: Wouldn't be talking to you if I did.
NICOLE: Again.....WOW.
MICHAEL: I'm joking. Kind of.... Not really.
NICOLE: Since we're being honest here, you kind of seem like a jerk.
CRICKETS.......
NICOLE: Michael?
MORE CRICKETS........
NICOLE: You know what, fuck you.
MICHAEL: Promise?
NICOLE: IDK... Maybe.
MICHAEL: About those nudes.......
NICOLE: Ugh. GTG. Lunch break is over. BYE.
MICHAEL: No! Wait! I'm sorry for being an ass. I'll drop it. What do you want to talk about?
NICOLE: I really do have to get back to work though.
MICHAEL: Damn. OK then. TTYL.
"Wow..." I sent back. "Just ....Wow. He's charming."
" IKR. WTF?"
"Probably nervous energy.. LOL."
"Hope so.....OH BTW.....DID YOU AND LUKE SEXT?!"
"Seriously?!"
