The Right Swipe

Chapter Seven : Not as Clueless

Teresa 

Even after getting a notice for a reply from Kyle I didn't reply right away and decided to wait a bit. That being said I grabbed my phone and hopped on Tinder to check on my new notices. 

Surprisingly my number of matches has jumped over night from one to twenty.  That was more than I was hoping to get , but the girls weren't that surprised about it. A select few of my matches didn't even bother to message me. I was confused since I thought every person you matched with would want to reach out and get to know you. 

I get it guys shouldn't be the only ones responsible to start a conversation , but it just makes it easier if they do. Maybe that's just my fear of rejection talking . 

I opened up my messages to reply back to a handful of guys who were able to even keep the conversation lasting more then five messages.

Like Dakota , he was studying to be a teacher and happened to feed my little pun addiction by sending one every half hour. 

Then there was Jonas , he seemed a bit more reserved with his short replies at least he was constant.

 My mind skimmed over the list of new messages to finally land on Kyle. I quickly clicked on his to see what he had to say.  

 Kyle: Hey , I know it's a bit early to start showing some of my finer qualities . I don't usually take so long to reply. I'm sorry , I fell a sleep early yesterday and had to jump straight into work today. With that being said, to answer your question no I do not have a dog or any pets for that matter. 

 At least he replied and said sorry... I mean how am I supposed to feel we haven't even really chatted . I can just reply and go from there it's not that serious. 

Just as I began to type my reply I heard my roommates fussing over what color  lip stick they were going to wear. I never really pictured these girls going on a double date together but I guess you can never know with people. All the while I could hear Kat putting an order in for pizza. 

Hold up when did Kat get here ... How could she not tell me she was here 

"Kat ! Get your ass over here!" 

"TERESA! I AM TRYING TO ORDER PIZZA GIVE ME A DAMN MINUTE!" Kat yelled back at me as she started to walk closer to my bedroom.

"Well hurry up I need your help , " I pointed towards my phone screen. 

Kat turned to shush me, can you believe that. 

Kat finished her order she picked my phone to get a closer look at what was making me lose my mind.  She began to type away , knowing I wasn't going to come up with a reasonable reply anyway I let her continue. 

"Teresa hon , you have to learn to use your words I won't always be here to reply for you. " Kat stated while handing my phone over. 

"I know but you are here now so just let me use you for your wisdom thanks " I smiled sweetly at  Kat.

"Fine ," Kat stated dramatically . " You win this round but you're paying for the pizza . " 

"Deal.  Now let me see what you replied." 

 Teresa:  Hello stranger , It  is agreed it is a bit early to share your not so great qualities. Glad you were man enough to reply with an apology at least. Seems you have a busy life , seeing as I am an understanding person I will regard you with respect until shown otherwise. I don't have any pets either thanks for asking. If you could have one what would you have and why? 

Shit how did she type all of this in such a short amount of time. I really hope it isn't coming off as too rude either... maybe I shouldn't have let her reply after all

" Kat -" Before I could finish she cut me off. 

"Listen here Terbear,  you have to show this guy you are a big girl with feelings. Its okay to be a bit passive aggressive trust me on this , remember you wanted my help." Kat stated with confidence. She was right I went to her for help so I will stick by and trust her on this.

We continued to talk as the other two girls walked into the room. They all started going over what might happen on the date and even made a bet.  Meanwhile my mind was elsewhere thinking about my other matches. 

My attention was brought back by the door bell going off. I left to open the door hoping the pizza was here only to be disappointed. 

In stead of the pizza men , there stood two guys who were almost opposite of each others.  One stood close to 6'1 with dirty blonde hair while the other guy was shorter with brown hair . There is something about the guy with the brown hair . He was adorable yet handsome at the same time and then it hit me. 

That was the guy I just messaged on Tinder....

They were here for the girls. I decided to talk to them on auto pilot since I was a bit conflicted. Shortly after I got the girls out the door.  I watched as the girls came back to put their flowers into vases. While they left out the door again I swear I made eye contact with him.

Maybe he was just a play boy anyways. Nope I was not going to think too much on this I will just be a big girl and not jump to conclusions for now anyways.
