Virtual Attraction [COMPLETE]

20| More Midnight Banter

When I got home from Adam's house, I sent BlackLight a copy of the revised version of Chapter Twenty.

FireAndBlaze: Is this any better?

When he didn't respond again, I sent another private message to his inbox: Please.

And then, Help me.

BlackLight_00: You're clingy, you know that?

So I had been told, I thought, remembering how Adam had called me clingy at Mason's party.

BlackLight_00: Why can't you get someone else to edit your work?

FireAndBlaze: You have time to edit everyone else's work. Why not mine?

BlackLight_00: What's in it for me?

FireAndBlaze: Oh God.

BlackLight_00: ;)

FireAndBlaze: No I won't send you nudes.

BlackLight_00: Aw, I was so hoping you would.

FireAndBlaze: How about you just help me out of the kindness of your heart?

BlackLight_00: Cute, but no.

BlackLight_00: Every time I help you, you tell me something about yourself.

FireAndBlaze: No.

BlackLight_00: Why not?

FireAndBlaze: Because I don't know you—please don't do this.

BlackLight_00: What's the matter? Don't trust me? ;)

FireAndBlaze: No.

BlackLIght_00: Well, you shouldn't. But...if you want my help, that's what it's gonna take.

FireAndBlaze: You haven't given me any reason why I should trust you.

BlackLight_00: I never said you should trust me. I said that's what it's gonna take to get me to help you.

FireAndBlaze: So I should go along with this against my better judgement?

BlackLight_00: Now you're getting it. ;)

Well maybe, I started, as long as personal matters are off limits.

BlackLight_00: I make the rules.

He typed again, Nothing is off limits.

FireAndBlaze: You just love watching me squirm, don't you?

BlackLight_00: ;)

FireAndBlaze: Do I get to ask you questions?

BlackLight_00: No.

FireAndBlaze: Of course not, because then I might figure out who you are.

FireAndBlaze: And you're too much of a control freak to let that happen. If you didn't have me to boss around, then what would you do for fun?

BlackLight_00: I'd be careful if I were you.

He sent another message quickly, Don't make me mad.
