handshakes (boyxboy)

Maybe: Jaime: Hello there, gorgeous

I read the message over and over again as I stood in front of my bedroom door. Kellin had just left and Jaime just texted me. What were the odds? My heart raced and raced as I read the last word. He was calling me gorgeous? He was calling me gorgeous... Maybe it meant nothing to him, though. It was just useless flirting, right?

Me: Gorgeous?

Maybe: Jaime: Yep, that's exactly what you are.

I blushed, ran to my bed, and jumped under the covers like a 14-year-old girl. My heart was still beating fast and I couldn't help it. I stared at the message and saved his number, still shocked he was even talking to me.

Me: I'm bushing now,,

Me: I just thought I'd text you since you were so intriguing at the party

Jaime: Well, I was just interested in you

Me: How come?

Jaime: You kiddin?

Jaime: Look at you. You're so hot

I felt like I had died just then.

Me: Whatever. You're just saying that.

Me: What's up?

Jaime: Nothin. I'm just glad you texted.

Jaime: I was getting a little lonely.

Me: And I can help with that?

Jaime: If you want to,,

Me: Um, not yet. Tell me about yourself.

Jaime: What do you want to know?

Me: I don't know...

Me: What is your favorite color?

Jaime: That's what you ask? Are we in middle school?

Me: It's not that easy!

Me: Okay, you ask me something then

Jaime: Hm, alright.

Jaime: What did you do today?

Me: Just hung with a friend. We just kind of laid around for a bit.

Jaime: You lay with your friends? Does that mean we get some cuddle-time, too?

Me: Maybe,, if you behave enough.

For hours Jaime and I talked-- flirted. It was fun and, honestly, it felt nice to be noticed and wanted. And from what I could tell, he wanted me. He told me so multiple times. I wasn't just going to let him get what he wanted because I didn't know him and I was new to doing things with a guy, but I felt so comfortable and intrigued. I was giddy, to say the least, and I didn't want anything to end.

Before I knew it, it was 11 pm and I was yawning so much I could barely keep up.

Me: I'm pretty sleepy. I'm gonna head to bed. You should do the same, hm?

Jaime: Aw :( You're leaving me?

Jaime: but I have a /problem/

Me: Looks like you're gonna have to figure that out yourself! Goodnight

Jaime: Fine :((

Jaime: Talk tomorrow?

Me: Definitely :)
