Hey:)
Hey it's my favorite footballer 😛
What can I do for you?
Just wanted to text and see if you've got any plans for this weekend?
Nope I'm completely free. What do you have in mind? 😌
Well I was thinking maybe we could go indoor ice skating? Maybe get some hot chocolate? 😋
Haha you do realize we live in Florida, right?
Hot chocolate isn't exactly my choice drink even during the "winter" 😂 it's really bad for you too. Do you know how many grams of sugar is in one of those? Also ice skating is too hard on my ankles and I have cheer practice on Monday. Sorry, have anything else in mind? 😁
Uh yeah sure. No problem. Maybe just go get some ice cream and go see a movie?
Oh sorry do you not eat ice cream either? Maybe frozen yogurt instead? Sorry I don't know anything about health or whatever 😂
Uh actually, Ocean, I was thinking maybe you could come over to my place?
My parents are out of town at some photography show in New York and I could use some company? 😌😘
Really?
You don't want to go out and have some fun? Trust me, we'd have plenty of fun.
Actually, Hayden, I'm not that kind of guy and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.
What, not the kind of guy to hook up with me? Do you think I'm not good enough for you or something?
No of course not
I mean yes you are, sorry I'm just...confused I guess.
About what?
I know literally at least thirty guys who would jump at this chance. I don't get it 🙄
That's the thing, Hayden. Why did you pick me?
What do you mean?
Why do you want to hang out with me?
Because you're really hot and you seem cool. I think we'd be good together 🤗
Because I'm hot?
Of course you are, you know that 😛
Now, are you coming over or not?
Listen, I think you're beautiful. I think you have a lot of potential too. But you're not the girl I thought you were.
Who did you think I was?
Someone with enough self respect to wait to hook up with a guy until you at least know their middle name. Geez, Hayden, you're worth more than that.
Well then tell me your middle name. What do you want from me?
I don't want anything from you. And I think that's what you don't get.
Look, I'm not trying to lecture you because I'm definitely not the best guy in the world and I admit I can be a huge jerk sometimes.
But I could never just take advantage of you and your parents being gone like that.
Why not?
I really don't see the big deal, Ocean. You need to relax. I know that if you just came over you'd change your mind 😋
Do you really not get it? I'm not coming over! I don't want to hook up with you.
You're an idiot.
What's wrong with you? Are you gay or something?
What? No I'm not lol
I just respect you more than that. Or at least I do now. I don't want to have some pointless thing with you.
Then what do you want? To go ice skating? Fine I'll go lol
