THE SUGGESTION
okay so hear me out
i am listening
wow you got here fast
anyway
i don't know if it's something you're comfortable with so feel free to say no of course, but i was wondering if you wanted to facetime soon
like it doesn't have to be right now at all, just in the near future or something
it's a stupid idea i know i'm sorry
i regret sending that now
wait no let me just read it properly stop typing
yes i would like to facetime soon, simon
stop overthinking it
we both show our face to thousands of people everyday, it'll be just like streaming
just more private
that's true...
whenever you want to do it, i will make some free time
like any time???
of course
are you free today??
oh i didn't think you were gonna say so soon
fuck i'm sorry you're right that's way too soon
the weekend?
no simon!! today is fine it was just unexpected
i'll call you when i'm ready?
i'll be waiting :)
"angele!! my room!" i yell, my phone now chucked on the bed behind me. she rushes through the door, looking around worriedly.
"what? are you okay? what's wrong?"
"i'm facetiming him tonight," i tell her, and she squeals out of excitement, plopping down onto the bed besides me.
"talia! that's so exciting! what are you gonna wear? are you doing your makeup?"
"well i was planning on wearing the orange top anyway...i'll just tie my hair up and do some casual makeup...nothing over the top, or anything."
"he has seen your face already...right?"
"yes!" i snapped back defensively. "we've been talking since august...it's been ages, i think it's about time we facetimed."
"you've been talking since august? holy crap, i thought it was only since october...you like him, then?"
"i like him," i said casually.
"no, i mean, you like, like him?"
"oh! uh, i don't know," i lie. i definitely do like him.
"how can you not know? is he cute in real life? i watched some of his videos and he seems cute...more of a lad though," she chips in.
i have to stop myself from laughing out loud. he's not like he is on camera in real person at all...he's the opposite of a lad, he's kind, compassionate, caring...most of all, he's soft. like, so soft.
"yeah, he's cute," i say vaguely, itching the back of my head. "and no, that is not me confessing my undying love for him. i'm gonna get changed now," i continued, it acting as a hint for her to leave, which thankfully she got straight away.
my makeup didn't take long. i wanted it to be done quickly so i'd be ready quicker, and then we could facetime.
i hadn't been this excited towards something happening in a long time. it felt so right, and it was definitely the next step towards whatever...we were, and what we could potentially become.
i'm all ready!! are you?
waiting on the call :)
