Shortie 🎖:
Just thought I'd give you a head up in case one of the girls decides to interrogate you to see if it's true, I told them some stuff earlier and got told off by Hayley for saying I might as well share my secrets in case I don't make it back from overseas to tell them later

Sunshine ☀️:
I'm with Hayley on that one
What do you mean by "some stuff"?
Why would they come to me about this "stuff"?
Should I be worried?

Shortie 🎖:
Okay, Mr twenty-questions 😂
Let me get a word in and I'll answer your questions

Sunshine ☀️:
I'm waiting

Shortie 🎖:
I told them the "big secret" about our scene, and that led into another story

Sunshine ☀️:
What story? 🤨

Shortie 🎖:
About why it wasn't too weird or awkward to kiss you for the film 😇

Sunshine ☀️:
Is this about our other kiss?

Shortie 🎖:
Yeah, that one
I'm surprised you remember it tbh

Sunshine ☀️:
What's that supposed to mean? 😝

Shortie 🎖:
That you've had a lot of kisses over the years?
I'm just surprised you remember OUR kiss considering the lack of quality and expertise in that

Sunshine ☀️:
Of course I do, because it was with you

Shortie 🎖:
Well, ain't you a smooth talker 😉😏😂
Anyway, like I said, I was just giving you a heads up in case they quiz you about it

Sunshine ☀️:
Only with you 😉😂
Thanks
What about you? You clearly remember that kiss too

Shortie 🎖:
Well, yeah, it's not like there's been many guys in my life so I'm probably not far off when I say I remember them all. Plus, talking about kissing you for the film brings back the memories of our other kiss since they both involve you

Sunshine ☀️:
Lizzie just texted me asking how my family have never found out about that 😂
It's not like I was going to run downstairs to tell my big sister that I'd just kissed the girl I swore was my best friend
I don't think she'd have cared, but she'd also never have let me live it down

Shortie 🎖:
Chris, you told Lisa when you lost your virginity.
Even I'm surprised your real first kiss hasn't become family knowledge yet.
But, it's true that Carly would keep reminding you about it if she found out
Oh, the joys of being an only child 😂

Sunshine ☀️:
Lucky you.

Shortie 🎖:
😇😇😇

Sunshine ☀️:
I still don't regret it

Shortie 🎖:
That kiss or the film one?

Sunshine ☀️:
Well, both, but that film one was definitely initiated by you

Shortie 🎖:
Semantics

Sunshine ☀️:
What about you?
Do you regret it?

Shortie 🎖:
No. It definitely wasn't the worst experience in the world

Sunshine ☀️:
Thanks. 🙄

Shortie 🎖:
Hey, I'm joking!
I'm glad it was you and not some other guy

Sunshine ☀️:
So am I

Shortie 🎖:
What?
Glad it was you?
Or, glad that was my first? 😏

Sunshine ☀️:
Would it be weird if I said yes to both?

Shortie 🎖:
I already know you're majorly protective over me so no, I'm not surprised by that answer at all

Sunshine ☀️:
You know this isn't a very best-friend-y conversation
I'm starting to see why everyone looks at me weird whenever they see us texting.

Shortie 🎖:
You're only JUST realising that?
I've been told by multiple friends of yours that they thought we were dating or you were in love with me or something when they've seen us interacting
Even your followers are doing it

Sunshine ☀️:
Really? When was this?

Shortie 🎖:
All the time.
Your post for my birthday even had them speculating that our parents either trusted us or shipped us
You know, this just proves how often you actually read your comments

Sunshine ☀️:
I know, I'm terrible at it, don't remind me
Do you think they have a point? About our parents.
I mean, yours always asked my mom to pick you up after school or for you to stay with us for a while, even when we were teens and most parents would never have let that happen

Shortie 🎖:
That's because they were busy

Sunshine ☀️:
That often?

Shortie 🎖:
They knew we were close and liked spending time together?

Sunshine ☀️:
Charlotte.

Shortie 🎖:
Okay, fine.
Maybe.
If it's true then their plan clearly didn't work.

Sunshine ☀️:
Why do you say that?

Shortie 🎖:
Because, although we've kissed twice, nothing has ever happened between us?
No romantic relationship.

Sunshine ☀️:
I mean, I guess that's true

Shortie 🎖:
Anyway, have they sent you any other interesting questions?

Sunshine ☀️:
Not really, just Lizzie asking me questions that are pretty obvious, like the one I told you already

Shortie 🎖:
Haha, fair enough
Hey, are you up to anything tomorrow?
Or, the day after if you're busy tomorrow?

Sunshine ☀️:
No, I'm free both days. Why?

Shortie 🎖:
What do you and Dodger think of taking a road trip with Aslan and I?
We could probably make a few days of it since I'm using up my available vacation time while they process my notice at the facility.
If you're not busy, of course

Sunshine ☀️:
Not busy at all
Dodger says he can't wait 😉
Sure, how many days are we talking?

Shortie 🎖:
Well, I technically have 10 days to use up from my annual vacation time, so we could do a week away together? Leave the other three days for me to chill here and spend more time with everyone without work schedules getting in the way?

Sunshine ☀️:
That sounds amazing
Where are we going?

Shortie 🎖:
You'll see
