I typed.

You took longer than I expected.

Addy: I’m assuming this is the part where I pretend this is normal.

I was wondering if curiosity would win or if you’d argue with yourself for another ten minutes.

Addy: Wow. No hello, no explanation, no “sorry I sent a stranger to ambush you like a spy thriller extra.”

Addy: Bold choice. You could’ve just asked for my number like a normal person.

Normal is inefficient.

And this didn’t leave anything to chance.

Addy: That’s one way to frame “unnecessarily dramatic.”

This was safer. Moreprivate.

Addy: And what could we possibly need privacy for?

Addy: Why do you even have a phone? Like, how?!

Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to

Addy: You’re severely underestimating my curiosity

And you’re severely underestimating what kind of position you maneuvered your pretty little ass into.

Addy: You realize I could still delete this and ruin your night.

You could. It’s not like I could stop you.

You won’t, though.

Addy: You’re enjoying this a little too much.

I’m finding I enjoy everythingabout you.

And I enjoy you pretending this wasn’t inevitable while proving it was.

Addy: You sound very sure of yourself for a man texting me from an encrypted mystery app.

Oh yeah. There are very few things I’m not sure of where you’re concerned.

Addy: This feels like the part where I’m supposed to panic.

Addy: So is this a conversation or an ongoing situation?

You really think I’d let you slip through my fingers? After all the trouble I went through to get this set up?

Addy: I could just not answer.

Do you know how easy it was to find you?

Addy: Again, kind of creepy.

It was about as easy as it will be to make sure you’ll never ignore me. At least not for too long, I know you can be stubborn.
