Chapter 44 - Groggy Replies
[My mother had to protect from the swarm of girls and older won who said they would wait for to grow up and beco their boyfriend. Those were the wild days.]
'You must be so smug saying all of that. Gloating, what a guy.'
[Do I play you well? I didn't know I was talented enough to play the elusive Rinten like a violin. I love that image.]
'You play like a professional, love.'
[My mother brought up as a gentleman, I don't think I retained much of my musical training or the manners she taught , considering the crass things I have shared with you thus far.]
'What would I do with a gentleman? I like you coarse and crass. What's the fun in having manners?'
[It's fascinating that you could open up to the way that you did despite being a self-proclaid recluse. I love that you can be free with , just as I can be with you. It's a pleasure to know soone who I can connect to on a baser level and not have to wonder what their motivations are. I have a lot of people trying to curry my favor for a higher position in my line of business and I absolutely can't stand it.]
'He sounds so lonely. Don't worry, boy, you have now.'
[Curious and curioser. The more you share, the thirstier I get.]
'Heh. That rhyd.' She shook her head and went back to reading. The most crucial part was here.
[Therefore, it's my turn. I was a handso boy while young, but a nerd. You must know that from my na. This was the first screen na I used and it has stuck with . My teenage years were awkward, with girls not throwing themselves at because I was a pimpled fool who had no confidence in himself. Puberty hit hard, and then suddenly I was this glorious being that no one could get enough of. But let tell you a little secret. I am still a nerd at heart. I am still that boy.]
She clutched her heart, the cuteness of the sentence getting at her. 'I would totally throw myself at you when you were a pimpled teenager. How could I miss out on you?'
[I didn't know that you had a fascination with trains, but now I do. I look forward to your ministrations. I ant it when I said I would like to do things to you that dream had done. I feel a special connection to you that I have not felt… ever.]
It seed that she really needed to up her ga to tease him. He had desecrated her the last ti around, so she couldn't wait to throw him an equally fiery tale that would shake him to his core.
[Millionaires like us are expected to sweep won off their feet and take them to their castles. I don't want to sweep you away; I want to gently coax you to co with . If you are there it could only be a pleasurable trip.]
She very much doubted that he was a millionaire. But that didn't change the fact that he was a sweet, funny, kind, and excellent bloke.
[I want to know your train fantasy. I look forward to it.]
'Well. You shall get it.'
[What are you doing Sunday? I am going to be ho vegging out, so hit up on Qchat if you want. Sa handle. We can chat the day away.]
She didn't have Qchat, but she would download it imdiately if she could talk to him. She went to her playstore and installed the app, signing in and completing her profile.
She searched up his userna and found it imdiately.
[Rinrin here.] She fired off the text.
By the ti she had placed dication for her miserable friends, a ssage had co through.
Strangely enough, it was a voice ssage. Exactly three seconds long.
She quickly put in her earphones and listened in. There was static at first and the 'mmm' that followed. He sounded freshly awake, groggily replying to his texts. She imagined him getting up from his sleep to her text and leisurely looking at the phone, confused what had happened. She fanned her face, comnding the extraordinary image.
[Just woke up?]
Another voice ssage.
"Mmm." And silence. Exactly two seconds long.
[I'll catch you later, then. Get so rest.]
"I love waking up to your texts." Simple words said in a leisurely manner. She heard the voice note again and again. As it turned out, she had a thing for words and voices.
"Here is my voice, then," she whispered into her phone and sent it off.
It took so ti for him to co back.
[Waking up to your words and voice? I must be still dreaming.] He attached a winky face emoji.
[You really have sweet dreams, then.] She smiled.
[Quick update. Have an ergency. Won't be able to chat. I should be done by tonight?] He sent.
She frowned as he looked.
[Why is your profile picture the grumpy cat?] She sent, not knowing what to do next. [I'll see you tonight.]
There was no reply.
