CH 7 Can't Work With You On My Mind

Annika's POV

I was leaning against my bathroom sink just looking at my phone screen, 8:58, only two hours and twenty seven minutes since I had seen L. Looking up at the wall across from me I wonder what he's doing. I remember almost guessing his age, he's only twenty one, and I'm only eighteen. Only a three year difference. I could already imagine what Ross would say to me but he can't argue, I'm legal. I've only been "Legal" for 5 months. My birthday is on October 13th, I was born on a Friday. Which is pretty cool, I'm a Jason baby. Maybe L likes horror movies. The thought of being curled up next to L on my couch was such a tantalizing fantasy. Just thinking about him reminds me how much I've craved some comforting attention, I've made myself so isolated. I'm disturbed from my somewhat sad thoughts when I see that I have received a message. 'Hey Annika, it's L', My breath hitched, funny I was thinking about him and here he is texting me. 'Wazz up' maybe that's a bit too weird so I deleted it, 'Yo' no that's too short. 'Hey' this one is simple but kinda normal. I press send. His reply is quick 'How are you doing?' I smile at the simple text. 'Good, good hbu' it takes him a smidge longer than his first text to reply and I couldn't help but giggle at his message, 'What does hbu mean?'

He must not text that many people. 'It means How about you, it's just a faster way to text.' I mean I don't text many people but I look at enough Ifunny, and comedy messages to know some of the easier ways to text.

His reply came just a second later, 'Oh, I'm fine I was just working then I thought about you and then I suddenly wasn't interested in my work any more' Well then I'm glad I have the same affect on him as he does me. 'That's cool, you wanna hear something funny as hell?' I think I'm going to tell him about the phone mishap I had before he texted me. 'Amuse me' such a straightforward texter. 'Well I was sitting eating then I decided to check my phone for any messages, I just couldn't remember where I had last put it, I looked everywhere I was going to go down to my car but then I just grabbed my boob and sure enough my phone was still in my bra, it's a blonde moment for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯' I took my time to type out my little face at the end there was no good emojis that I wanted to use. I was curious as to what L was going to say back

L's POV

I felt very stupid not knowing what hbu meant but I gave myself a break, she's really the only person I've texted. Besides she didn't seem bothered to explain it to me. I feel as if I had told her that in person she would have blushed knowing that, I like it when she blushes. Beside she even has something funny to tell me. Finally my phone lights up with the message, quite a long text for her little funny story, 'Well I was sitting eating then I decided to check my phone for any messages, I just couldn't remember where I had last put it, I looked everywhere I was going to go down to my car but then I just grabbed my boob and sure enough my phone was still in my bra, it's a blonde moment for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯' I wanted to be the one to reach in her bra and find her phone, Devil L popped onto my shoulder again, "Letting your mind still wonder perv." I told him to shove a shoe up his ass. Her story was funny and I like the little face guy with arms she added at the end. Maybe she'll teach me how to do that. I decided to try and make a serious observation by a simple question, 'Hahahaha that was pretty funny, but do girls always check their boobs for lost things' I'm not even going to second guess my text there is no sense in it I'm sure she's not censoring anything on her end, so why should I. 'So what are you doing for work that makes me so distracted?' Wow she ignored my question.

Should I tell her what I do, or should I pester her more, I am trying to make an observation of the other gender persay, maybe more so observing Annika herself. I have my thumb resting on my top row of teeth and it's being covered by my lip. Eh just small things won't hurt, I don't have to tell her I'm the 'Best detective' so I start typing out my reply a devious plan in mind, ' Just working on a case and then Watari came and asked me why I was forever at the cafe, so I told him about you, and then I went back to work on the case and I couldn't concentrate. By the way you never answered my question, do girls always lose things in their bras?' That works, pressing send I wait for her reply, I was satisfied with my reply at least.
