Text message from Sweet Nyla.
Sweet Nyla: Did Judge Josy call you?
Me: Yah. She also emailed me some papers she needed me to look at.
Sweet Nyla: Things are looking good for you and kyle.
Me: You think so? Because me being a non citizen carry a lot of red tape.
Sweet Nlya: Mom will handle that don't worry about it.
Me: well she told me I will need a bigger apartment. the one bedroom apartment won't do.
Sweet Nyla: Welllll. I have been thinking about that and I was wondering....
I hate when people brake off their text like that leaving you in suspense willfully.
I know it's willful, it's text!
Me: Wondering what!?
Yah.. yah... temper temper. rolling my eyes.
Sweet Nyla: That maybe you can move in with me.
Move in with Nyla?!?
It's hard enough just visiting her. Look at what happened last time. Nah man, that shit can't work.
Sweet Nyla: Just think about it.
I am thinking about it! And I do not think I have that kinda will power to restrain myself
if we end up in any type of situation like last time. Living with you? Shittt....
Sweet Nyla: Clay?
Me: Yah am here.
I proceed in typing a message.
Me: Look Nyla, I do not think it is a good idea for us to-
Before I can finish my message or send it a massage from Nyla came through.
Sweet Nyla: I know things have been a bit awkward between us lately but I also know
that you can not afford to get a bigger apartment and still provide for kyle
on what you make working for crafts land (made up place). Plus I have a 4 bedroom
house that I alone live in, it only makes sense.
sigh, she is right. Damn it!
But wait, how will that look?
I delete the message I was about to send and start another.
Me: Won't that hurt my chances of getting Klye? Me being someone's room mate?"
Sweet Nyla: Nope because u won't be my room mate.
Me: wait, what? what do u mean?
Sweet Nyla: well, your going to be co-owner of the house.
Me: Are u fucking with me? Nah, Nyla a can't.
Sweet Nyla: smiles nope and u can.
Me: Why would u do that?
It took three minutes of Nyla typing and deleting before another message came through.
Sweet Nyla: Just think about it.
Me: Alright I will. thank you I'm very grateful.
Sweet Nyla: Soo, are we still on for tonight?
Me: huh?
