The Train

"So what are you listening to every day?"

My heart rate picks up. No, he can't know. He won't talk to me anymore. I shake my head at him, hoping he hasn't noticed my nervousness.

"Just music."

I write with a small smile.

"Can I listen?"

He replies to my horror.

"No, not yet." I write and then add, "I don't know you well enough." I give him a shy smile. He rolls his eyes calling my bluff. But then he gives me a smirk before he writes;

"Oh but you will."
