Page 24 of Your Play to Call
Tripp
There’s some unwritten ruleabout not texting or calling someone after a date. I don’t know who wrote it or decided it was the move, but I think they’re idiots. As soon as I get home, I’m texting Willow. I can’t help myself.
Me
would you judge me if I told you I’ve already started snacking on my leftovers
Willow
that little piece of tiramisu was gone ten minutes after you left lol
my kind of girl
Why do I say shit like this? I groan and fall back onto the couch. I shake my head, picturing Willow reading that and cringing. Rolling her eyes. My phone buzzes.
:) sorry about Seth
not ideal but he didn’t hurt me. I’ll take that as a win
hewould never
he’s not used to nights like tonight
what the hell did your other dates do?
schedule a car to pick me up, plan with my driver, ask me to meet them somewhere
if my mom found out that I asked you to MEET me somewhere
I don’t even want to think about it
to be fair, I let it slip to my dad once, that dexter would ask me to meet him and I had to beg him to not call him.
I get it
and I think I’d like your mom
Everything I’ve read about Dexter seems douchey. Plus, anytime Willow brings him up it’s like the blueprint of whatnotto do. Guess I can thank him for setting the bar so low.
oh, she’s a fan
the morning after the after-party, she was the first person to call me
she was bummed I wasn’t secretly dating you
does she know we went out tonight?
She doesn’t know. No one knows. I don’t know how that will look to her. Fuck. Maybe she didn’t want this to be a secret?
no
I don’t know what the protocol is for this
and if it was a disaster I didn’t want to have to tell her
it’s okay
I like the idea of it being between us for now
