Bullshit

My phone kept buzzing and buzzing as Emerson and I had that awkward conversation about types.
"I bet you make lists for everything, no no no, I bet that you have one of those week planning agendas and that you use post it pages and color pens" he said making fun of me.
damn he was good
I laughed hard
"See I know your know-it-all type"
"Ok, ok you win"

My phone buzzed again.
"Why is you phone buzzing so much, you should answer to whoever is calling you"
I went to grab my phone and saw several texts from Will.

Dr. Will: hey sunshine!
Dr. Will: are you there??
Dr. Will: Andy??
Dr. Will: you don't want to talk to me anymore??
Dr. Will: 😭😭😭

"Who is it? Is it an emergency or something?" Emerson asked

I laughed

"No, it's just some guy that I'm seeing" I said.

"You have a boyfriend?" He asked seriously and his face went pale.

"No, I just met him yesterday" I said and shook my head.

"How did you meet someone yesterday? Did you went out or something?" He asked intrigued.

I felt a little embarrassed to tell him about the online dating thing

"I got into this online dating app"  I said.
"Really? Why? I mean that's for ugly people and spinsters" he said disgusted.
"Jeez thank you" I said.
"Hey that was a compliment, I'm saying that you're not ugly or a spinster" he said
I blushed
"Well the guy that I'm talking with is really cute" I said
"You don't need those apps" he said
"Well I was really bored" I said "And sad" I paused and then added "I needed some distraction, someone to talk to"
"Ok ok, so tell me about this cute guy" he said
"Ok, so he is a doctor, a cardiologist, he lost his wife a few years ago because of cancer, and he's actually looking for a serious relationship" I said with dreamy eyes
"Bullshit" he sail rolling his eyes
"What? It's not bullshit" I said
"Believe me when I say it is in fact BULLSHIT" he said.
"No it's not" I said defending Will.
"Ok so just remember what I said when he asks you for money" he said.
"He's not going to ask me for money, he's doing well at his job" I said.
"Ok ok whatever you said, but just one thing" he paused, looked me in the eyes and said "don't give him your passwords or your address, much less your bank account" he said seriously and then he laughed.

We kept laughing as I was showing some of the texts from Will. And he was still insisting that he was a fraud. Just when I realized we were on our second bottle of wine and my head started spinning.

Speaking of wine...
"How did you know this was my favorite wine?" I asked
He looked down and then said
"I peeked through your groceries the other day, the delivery guy left them at your doorstep, and I saw like 15 bottles of the same wine" he said and then continued " You're gonna end in AA, really. I mean there was more wine than food"
"Although I have to say, you have great taste in wine" he said
I can't believe he was peeking through my stuff.
We stayed silent for a while, like if each were on his own thoughts, but it was a comfortable silence.

Emerson looked at his watch and said "I should get going" he stood up from the chair and looked me intensely
"Thanks so much for the pizza and the wine" I said
He smiled
"See you around" he said and then he left quickly, like if he was going late to somewhere.

It was later that night when I responded Will

Andy: sorry I didn't have my phone

Dr. Will: I was getting worried I thought you didn't wanted to speak to me anymore

Andy: why would you think that?

Dr. Will: I don't know, but Andy, if one thing im sure of is that I really want to get to know you better, I feel like a connection with you

He said, and I couldn't help but to think if he was telling me the truth or if he was actually a fraud, like Emerson said.
