Scorpion

Knowing Damn Well

One day later...
Damn it was really hard to get this man off my mind. I fell for him hard than the last guy I have dated and it took me about a year to start dating him. Should've took it as a sign.

Ding

Hole shit, I got a text? I haven't gotten one in ages. Oh I can't wait to see if its-oh it's him. Well shit who else should I expect? Literally nobody has talked to me since this shit started so.... I respond fast to his little hello and put his contact in my phone as scorpion emoji.

🦂: Hey, is this who I think it is?

🥑: Your love?

🦂: Okay, good.

🦂: Quick Question, Why is your profile picture an avocado?

🥑: Because I like avocados dumbnut

🦂: Dumbnut?

🥑: Good nickname for you huh?

🦂: Whatever you want to call me love.

God even when he text it my heart just goes all a gimbo

🥑: So is there really any reason you wanted to talk to me?

🦂: Uh yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how to word it.

🥑: Do you need a couple minutes?

🥑: Listen while you do that. I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you saved me during the protest. It means so much to me that-

Shit I hit sent

🦂: You don't really need to thank me. You were just the person that day really needed saving. In these times everybody needs to keep an eye for each other. I got a couple more to the hospital today unfortunately they got hurt pretty bad. Just waiting to hear if they are okay.

Oh. What the fuck were you expecting anyways. Of course he's gonna help others. This is what he's dedicating his life to right now. Life isn't some romantic movie. God get a grip.

🥑:...

🥑:

🥑: Well that's fucking awesome.

🦂: People in the hospital?

🥑: NO. That's not what I meant. I meant you helping people through this stuff. Your a great amazing guy.

🦂: Well there was-

🥑: Oh well would you look at that. I gotta get to bed.

🦂: Oh. Okay gn.

🥑: Gn.

I put down my phone. I look at the ceiling. That's what happens when I get my hopes up. I know I cut him off but I just had to take a breather. What the hell am I getting so upset over? Well the fact that he cuddled you and called you love is a pretty big- Shut up.

Just shut up. I told myself. I knew damn well.
