Did You Know?
You told him you’re bad at flirting. He said, “Good. I’m tired of rehearsed charm. I want someone who stumbles through it and still makes me feel everything.”
He didn’t call you sensitive. He called you alive. Said, “People forget that feeling too much is better than feeling nothing.”
He didn’t ask for nudes. He asked what time of night your skin feels most alive, and said, “That’s when I’ll start whispering.”
You told him you cry at movies. He said, “Then I’ll never let you cry alone again. Not even over fiction.”
You asked “what kind of music do you like?” He said “stuff that hurts a little.”
He started the chat with “Hi, handsome,” and ended it with “You’re trouble.” Congratulations — you’ve passed level 1 of Maywood flirting.
He says “Just be cool,” but keeps liking your old photos at 1:46 AM.
He turns off the lamp. Not the call. Now it’s just voices and outlines. And it’s better that way.
