The Baby Doll Fic

Messages Exchanged (BabyDoll's POV)

Week One:

I was sitting on Andy's couch when suddenly I felt a buzzing on the cushion beside me. I looked down.

Message from- Patrick :)

I felt butterflies in my stomach before unlocking my phone with one quick swipe.

Patrick :) 

Hey what's up?

I smiled to myself, trying to think of a witty response.

Me 

Hey Patrick, how's Spongebob.

I FUCKED UP.  THAT WASN'T WITTY AT ALL.

Patrick :)

Haha very funny -_- So how's the roommate hunt going?

Me

Not so good, I've also checked out some cheap apartments in the area, but the community was trash. Have you found a roommate yet?

Patrick :)

I still haven't found a roommate, but I'll give it some time. Maybe you should check out the community I'm at?

Me

Yeah sure. Are they all as sweet as you are? ;)

Patrick :)

Oh, haha.

I shouldn't have said that, he's clearly not interested.

Week Two:

*DING DING* 1 New Message. 

Patrick :)

Hey babydoll :p

I felt heat rising to my cheeks. How should I reply to this? Just play it cool.

Me

Lmao Hey c: wyd?

Was that too chill? oh no, I don't want him to think I'm uninterested!

read at 12:48 p.m.

Oh god! I think I screwed up.

Patrick :)

I actually just got a reply on Craigslist for someone wanting to be a potential roommate, but other than that nothing really. Wbu?

Me

Nice, I hope I can find a roommate soon. And same.

Why don't I tell him that we should be roommates? Oh that's right because I'm an anxious person and afraid of him declining the idea.

Patrick :)

Yeah. The person and I are gonna meet up in like a week or so. Hopefully, things will go well. :)

Me

Good luck :P

Week 3:

Me

Heyy Patrick, how'd the meet up go? Do you have your new roommate?

Is it bad that I don't want him to have one?

Patrick :)

Hey. And no. He was an awful person. He was rude, annoying, and completely self-centered. It was probably a bad idea to find someone on Craigslist.

Wow. Have my prayers been answered?

Me

Darn. That sucks. I'm sorry.

Patrick :)

Honestly it' s fine. I need to find one soon though. It does get pretty costly living alone.

Me

I relate to that. if it wasn't, I'd probably be living alone already. Instead of living with my engaged cousin and his fiancé.

It's true though. I wish being an adult wasn't so hard.

Patrick :)

I mean. If your interested... Maybe you could possibly be my roommate? But only if you want. It would benefit us both c:

OH MY GOD. I THOUGHT HE WOULD NEVER ASK!!! AHHHHH

Me

I thought you would never ask lol.

Patrick :)

Well I didnt know if it would be awkward or not bc I barely knew you before.

I guess I probably would've. Wait. He was looking for a stranger to live with...

Me

But you were gonna find someone on Craigslist?? Lmaoo

Patrick :)

I never said I was the smartest person haha. We should meet up soon. So we can discuss this in person instead of over text.

I just realized we haven't really seen each other since the coffee shop.

Me

Alrighty. Just lmk when and where.

Patrick :)

Tomorrow around 11am at the coffee shop?

Me

Sounds like a date :)

Ehh. "sounds like a date" is so cliche. I hate myself.
