"You write back, idiot!" said Lawrence.

"But I don't know what!"

He panicked. What if he messed up?

They weren't even dating and he already was worried to disappoint her.

"What did she write?" Owen asked.

- Hey, it's me, y/n. I had a very good time, yesterday, and I was wondering if you wanted to go out again tonight... like, on a real date...

"...Oh my God! She wants to go out! On a date!"

"That's great, Conn! But you gotta be careful with what you reply..."

"What do I tell her?"

"You wanna see her?" Lawrence asked.

"Of course I do!"

"Tell her that you'd love to, then, and ask her what she had in mind for that... let her choose where to go"
Owen suggested

"Ok... ehm...

- Hey! How's going?
I'd love to go out together! Actually, I was going to ask you the same question. What did you have in mind?

...Is that ok?"

"Yeah, send it" said Lawrence, serious.

After a couple seconds, another message arrived.

- Nice! Well... what about dinner?

"She says she wants to go out for dinner... like, at a restaurant..."

"Nice, dinner..." Owen smirked "That's serious stuff..."

"...Wait, she sent another one"

- I'll let you choose the restaurant... you know, I'm not really good with that stuff

- What kind do you prefer?

- Surprise me ;)

Conner blushed, imagining her winking at him in real life.

"So? What did she say?" asked Owen, impatient to know more.

He turned the phone around, to let them read by themselves.

"Oh! Wow, Conn! She already trusts you!...And she winked!"

"She's just being nice..." he said, embarassed.

"No, Conn. She winked, that's flirting" said Owen.

"...Where are you going to take her?"

"I don't know... Oh, what about the one on the beach? It's fancy, right?"

"Yeah, she'll love it" said Lawrence.

"Ok..."

- Don't worry, I got it ;)
  Where do you wanna meet?

- Come to pick me up at my place, I'll send you the address later...
Is eight o'clock ok for you?

- Sure! See you at eight!

- See ya ♡

"SHE SENT A HEART! OH MY GOD, SHE SENT A HEART!!!!" Owen started screaming, jumping up and down.

"Nice job, Conn" Lawrence smirked, folding his arms.

"It's just an emoji, I don't think that's so important..."

"Oh, it is. Trust us"
