Trust me, I know. Goodnight, Sapphire.
Me
I’m looking forward to tomorrow. I can’t wait to see you in your tuxedo.
Eli
And I can’t wait to see what dress you picked.
I realize he doesn’t know because he didn’t stick around long enough to find out.
Me
Thank you for the dress, shoes, and everything. You left way too much money, though.
Eli
Buy more dresses with it.
Me
No one has ever bought me dresses before.
Eli
Or buy another pair of cowboy boots.
I chuckle at that text and immediately reply.
Me
You like my cowboy boots?
Eli
You really don’t want to know my honest answer.
Me
I do.
Keeping me teetering on the edge of suspense, he takes his damn sweet time to reply.
Eli
You don’t, Sapphire. It’s unprofessional.
Me
I might want you to be unprofessional. You’ve already kissed me.
Eli
Enough now. Goodnight.
Just like that he brings our conversation to an abrupt halt.
I consider myself a patient woman, and I am usually willing to wait. But tomorrow is a new day and an opportunity to show him what it would be like to be with me, entirely.
