i take out my phone right when i get home

i pull out my small poem book and swipe pages to find my most recent poem. i wasn't very proud of it but he asked so maybe he'll give me some advice. i take a photo of it then go to my contacts to find jav.

you:

jav:

ethan:

you:

ethan:
let's facetime? i'll ft u

you get a ft call from ethan, you're nervous to pick it up. what if he's a 40 yr old man and he knows where i live? fuck it

"uh hello?" i cover my camera just to make sure.

ethan's face pops up on the screen and i gasped so loud that he could hear me

"woah you alright? take a breath mar" he laughs. his smile is so worth anything. "why is your camera weird?"

i then remove my finger from my camera and say in a nervous tone, "sorry if i look like a mess right now. i wasn't expecting to ft a hot stranger instead of an old man."

"ahh the mystery is finally unsolved, we're both not catfishes!"

"if anything, YOU'RE the hot stranger mar"

"my real name is marcela. but call me whatever you'd want."

"okay mar poo bear"

"except that"

he laughs again. his smile is so contagious i swear he is so breathtaking.

"so eth, i've heard that you're a big fan of queen because ME TOO" i shout

"eth? nice name and yes i'm a HUGE fan. went to go see bohemian rhapsody about 8 times last month, none of my friends wanted to go with me and i don't understand why"

"dammit i haven't seen it yet i need to"

ethan looks shocked that i said that, understandable.

"eth i gotta go, final exams are such bitches"

"noo" he has a sad puppy look on his face. i almost blurt out that i love him, i always say that when i'm about to end a call with someone

"bye ethan, text you later if you're up"

"bye my incredible queen loving honey mar poo bear"

god.
