Neo stood from his seat and joined hands with Mona.

“Have fun!” I said to them.

Neo looked at me in fear. “Go for it,” I mouthed and winked when Mona looked away.

Neo swallowed hard but nodded, then he and Mona skated off into the rink.

I took a sip of my soda from the straw and pulled my phone out of my pocket. A text waited from Amantha.

Sxy Crdntr: How's it going?

Me: grt! Thr sk8ing 2gthr now

Llp0Me: sxy pix?

Sxy Crdntr: LOL

Sxy Crdntr: I'm at therapy

Me: ? Thr’s a bthrm

Sxy Crdntr: No

Me: :(

I didn't really expect anything, but I couldn't give her an easy time.

Sxy Crdntr: You'll just have to wait till later ;)

Me: Wt, r u sying....?

Sxy Crdntr: You have to be back on the couch before Neo gets up and we have to be quiet

Yes! That was more than I expected. My innocent text had turned out fantastic!

At work, Joey had awkwardly ignored what he'd walked in on the other night. He hadn't even said anything to me about fucking the new employee. I think he was shocked that I was going back to the same person more than once.

The scary part was, I didn't even think about it. Something in Amantha called to me. I didn't want anyone else.

Me: ys m'm

Sxy Crdntr: Call me ma’am again I'll kill you

I laughed loudly, a grin breaking over my face.

Me: ys m’m ... I mn ...

Sxy Crdntr:

Me:

Sxy Crdntr: Promises, promises

Me: Bet, kpng ths prmses

Guaranteed.

Neo and Mona caught my eye as they skated past in the rink. They were cute together.
