Writing me a novel?
I jumped when the message came through. Of course he was waiting for me to respond and could see my internal crisis in the typing dots.
Allie:
Sorry :P yeah unpacking sounds great
Sidney:
What’s up?
Allie:
I don’t know
For some reason I sort of expected you to want me to move in and my brain is doing silly things over you wanting me settled elsewhere
Even though I don’t want to move in since it’s only been a couple of days and that would be weird but also instincts and emotions are chaos and I don’t want you to think I’m creepy :(
Sidney:
I don’t think you’re creepy
I just don’t want you to feel pressured
Having your own space is important and we can spend time at both
Allie:
Quit being so logical
And okay that’s fair since I did JUST move into my place
I had to figure my shit out. It wasn’t fair to go full chaos gremlin in his direction. He had signed up for a date, not a partner, and I had to get myself together.
A few minutes later my phone buzzed again.
Sidney:
Treats downstairs <3
Allie:
?????
I bolted for the elevator to head down to the lobby, and the moment I saw him it was like the sun had come out after a storm. Damn, those bonding hormones were potent.
“Hey!” I bounded over and threw myself into a hug, melting when he kissed the top of my head and handed me a milkshake.
I took a giant sip of the chocolate confection and looked up at him. “Milkshake kiss?”
He got his smile under control just in time to meet my mouth. He tasted like strawberries.
“Chocolatey,” he said when he pulled away.
“I’m naturally delicious.” I grinned and took another sip before leaning up to whisper conspiratorially, “Want to mess around in my office?”
“You shouldn’t tease me when other people are nearby,” he warned.
