WRONG NUMBER?

I …. nothing
I'm so sorry, I hit your name by accident
ignore that
totally fine! you do it all the time
um
can we talk about it though?
no
nope
definitely not
you go ask out ....... whoever it is
not me
of course not
Eddie, wait
don't know why I thought ........
nothing
it’s fine
we’re fine
just stop, okay?
..................
yes I meant to send that text to Emily, a friend from college who's in town atm
great!
but if you're actually serious about being interested in going on a date with me... I want that too
wait, what
what about Emily?
....... honestly?
I was texting her cause I was bored
............
is that why you're offering to go out with me too?
NO
I'm offering to go out with you because you said you'd LOVE TO and it made my heart do a fucking backflip
I'm crazy about you, Eddie
but I thought you were straight
whAT
no
yes
I'm not straight, buck
is that why all the flirting never led anywhere???
obviously!!!
omg I can't believe you're not straight
I can't believe you thought I was
doesn't matter now
Eddie?
will you go on a date with me?
if you mean it
then absolutely yes
I do mean it
wow
I thought I was in gay hell
can't be, I woulda seen you there
falling in love with my straight best friend
yeah, I know the feeling
although, I didn't really think you were straight
I thought you just weren't interested in me
ohhhh no
I'm definitely interested in you
okay, well then
next time you flirt with me
maybe fucking follow through with something physical, yeah?
I can do that 😏
good
excellent
amazing 🥰
🥰
so.... how does tonight sound?
both perfect and too far away
where should we go?
I can think of a few places
😏
oh yeah? you know some good restaurants? 😇
I always preferred a good home-cooked meal tbh
you want me to cook for you?
sure, if you like
I’d love to
I'll provide wine and dessert
great
will Chris be there?
um, no
just checking how many I need to cook for
luckily for us, he's having a sleepover with Tia this weekend
how fortuitous for us
😏
mhmmmm
hey, Eddie?
yes buck?
I just want you to know, we don't have to move fast if you don't want to
I know I usually jump straight into bed with people but I'm happy to wait for you if you need time
..............
well, I appreciate that buck
but I actually don't want to wait ... unless you want to
I feel like we've waited long enough tbh with you
if you're sure you're ready, then I don't wanna wait
I was ready three years ago
I'm in love with you, Eddie
wait, three years ago??
yeah, nevermind that
you're in love with me?
I'm in love with you too 🥰
YOU ARE?
😍
obviously
right, yeah, I should've guessed you were in love with me even though I thought you were straight 🙄
😅
okay, fair point
Buck, I'm desperately, madly, overwhelmingly in love with you
wow
I feel the same for you
you're my favourite person in the whole world
that’s incredible
you’re mine
I’m yours
you have been since we met
shut up
I have not
uhm, yeah you have
even when you hated me
…….
I was like, this guy is so cute
that's so embarrassing, Eddie
why would you admit that 😅
rude
fine, I take it back
no don't take it back!!!
I'm totally indifferent to you
we'll see how indifferent you are when I get my hands on you
oh yeah?
what are you gonna do with those hands, hm?
you'll have to wait and find out 😉
hmmm, well
as long as you do something with them
I will
are you doing anything between now and tonight?
whyyyyy
cause I'm thinking of inviting myself over…
well, it's a bit early for dinner
what would you wanna do if you came over?
just hang out with you
talk, cuddle, kiss
whatever you want
… whatever I want, huh?
yeah
what if I want to do ….
you?
then I’m all yours, baby
be all mine, buck
you can come over
great 😏
I'll see you soon, then
not soon enough
want me to steal a fire truck so I can get there sooner?
I'd say yes, but I don't want you to get fired again, so ....... 😅
maybe don’t
lol
I can be patient
I won’t be long
please don’t be
I can't wait to see you
I'm so glad I sent you that text by accident
yeah
me too
although it was pretty horrible when you said it was meant for someone else
sorry
I realised who it went to as soon as I hit send and I panicked a bit
YOU panicked? 😅
damn, so did I
if you WERE straight I didn't wanna make things weird by having you find out I was into you
......... but don't tell anyone. I don't panic.
your secret's safe with me 😆
I'm so glad to find out you're into me, buck
best news I think I've ever had
🥰
I still can't believe you're not straight
believe it
wanna hear about my high school boyfriend?
yes
okay, what details do you want?
whatever you wanna tell me
how long were you together? how far did you go?
we were together - secretly - for a year, before shannon and me
we went alllllll the way
way to go, Eddie 😉
uh … thanks? lol
was he nice to you?
he was lovely
good
I’m glad
how long until you get here?
couple minutes at the most
omg
😉
can I tell you a secret?
of course
what is it?
I've never actually been with a guy before
oh
that’s okay
I've kissed a few guys, but that's about it
.... are you ready, then?
I didn't think that maybe you'd want to wait. I'm sorry
oh I'm definitely ready
I told you I don't wanna wait
I just figured you should know that I'm not QUITE as skilled in this area as in others…
but I'm hoping it won't even be noticeable what with all the internet research I've done 😉
omg
don't worry, buck. it's you and me. the rest will fall into place
it will
cause we love each other
we sure do 🥰
also
I’m here
omG
I see you!
😘
I love you, buck
now get inside
