Can't Afford To Lose Another Second With You (Scömìche)

Surprise

Scott: Hey, Mitchy. Can I call you?

I frowned. What was it that he couldn't just text me?

Me: Sure

A minute later my phone rang and I picked up immediately.

"Hey, sweetheart," I said, happy to hear his voice.

"Hey, Mitchy." I loved it when he used the nickname.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. There had to be something going on if he wanted to talk to me on the phone. Though I kind of hoped he just wanted to hear my voice, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

"Yeah... No, I'm good," he said, sounding confident. "Just wanted to tell you that, um-" He seemed to shift in his position because I could hear ruffling. "Kate and I stopped dating."

My heart stopped. "Oh."

"Yeah, no, that's good," he continued. "She wasn't the right one."

"Oh, okay, then I'm... I guess I'm happy for you?" I didn't know what to say. I was happy, though. Some part of me.

He chuckled awkwardly. "Seriously, I'm happy I finally made the right move."

"You broke up with her?" I couldn't help but be surprised. Out of everything, I hadn't expected that.

"I didn't break up, we were never a thing. We never even kissed. We just both tried to convince ourselves that it would work out eventually, but it never did. Not to mention she had like, no time at all for dates. But yeah, it was me to end it."

"It's good that you're happy with your decision. I want you to be happy, Scott."

"Listen, can we, like, meet up or something? I missed hanging out with you."

I smiled. I missed him too. So much.

"Sure!" I replied, still grinning. "How about Friday? You could stay over," I offered, hoping he'd say yes. I heard the smile in his voice.

"I'd love that."

My parents go on vacation on Friday so they won't kill me, I added in my thoughts. Besides, I had always wanted to try something, but I didn't tell him yet. I wanted it to be a surprise.
