Suprising (thatcherjoe)

Chapter 3

I decide to text him on Friday night. I was going clubbing with a few of my friends and I figured if I happen to get a little tipsy, then texting Joe won't be that big of a deal. I never get so drunk I can't handle myself, but if I end up tipsy (like a always do) I will have something to blame the text on if I get out of hand. I mean what's the worst thing I can say. I only met him once, I don't have feelings for him, and he was the one to leave me his number. So sure enough, I wake up Saturday morning at 11 with a minor headache to see the damage I had done.

My texts read:

10:59 PM "Hey joe!!! I really didn't appreciate you using my hand as paper!!!" I must have meant it sarcastically. I hope.

11:02 PM "ummmm is this Kelsey.....?" Joe must have been very confused considering he doesn't have my number. Drunk me isn't very courteous.

11:07 PM "How many other girls did you give your number to???" I wrote back. I must have been feeling feisty.

11:07 PM "None, just making sure this is who I think it is ;) xx"

11:10 PM "what if it's not? ;))"

11:11 PM "what if I told you my 11:11 wish was to talk to you? Xx"

11:11 PM "WAIT ITS 11:11 I HAVE TO MAKE A WISH."

11:13 PM "what did you wish for? xx"

11:15 PM "another martini."

11:17 PM "another? you at a bar Kels? Xx"

11:20 PM "yea. Care to join?"

11:22 PM "sorry Hun. Work in the morning. Xx"

11:24 PM "that's ok. I'm leaving anyways.

11:24 PM " hey do you need me to call a cab for you?"

11:27 PM " nah I'm walking home."

11:28 PM "please get a cab kels. xx"

11:30 PM "no need. I'm home!!! well zz"

11:31 PM " I think you meant xx ;)"

11:32 PM " flirting doesn't work with me Joseph. Because I most definitely meant zz"

11:33 PM "okay babe. Zzz. Xx"

I feel horrible. I hadn't even thanked him for trying to get me home safe. He was so nice. Why did drunk me have to be so rude? but I guess it could have been worse. I quickly text him thank you for offering the cab last night. He didn't answer so I hopped in the shower to try to get the black makeup off me. I scrubbed my face till it was red. I had some cereal and gotten dressed into sweats when I checked my phone. Joe had replied a little over 15 minutes ago. He simply wrote "don't mention it." I have no idea what that means. Does he mean it in a Laughy "haha don't mention it!" way or a "you know what, don't even mention it." kinda way? is he angry or still the silly person I thought. Is Playlist Live joe different from real life joe? I put away my bowl. "Stop overthinking." I say outloud to myself. "It's a text. Chill." and with that I get sit down at the couch and watch some netflix.
