"Okay, I get it. You don't want to talk to your mother. I love you anyway." She blew me a kiss and at last I escaped to my room.

I did have to read for history, but after I finished, I wasn't tired and I kept thinking about texting Davis.
I knew what I wanted to write, or at least what I was thinking about writing. I couldn't stop thinking about the text--writing it out, hitting send knowing I couldn't take it back, the sweaty heart-race of waiting for a reply.
I turned off my light, rolled over onto my side, and shut my eyes, but I couldn't shake the thought; so I reached over for my phone, clicked it awake, and wrote him. When you said before that you like my body, what did you mean?
I watched the screen for a few seconds, waiting for the . . . of his reply to appear, but it didn't, so I put the phone back onto the bedside table. My brain was quiet now that I'd done the thing it wanted me to do, and I was nearly asleep when I heard the phone vibrate.
Him: I mean I like it.
Me: What about it?
Him: I like the way your shoulders slope down into your collarbone.
Him: And I like your legs. I like the curve of your calf.
Him: I like your hands. I like your long fingers and the insides of your wrists, the color of the skin there, the veins underneath it.
Me: I like your arms.
Him: They're skinny.
Me: They feel strong actually. Is this okay?
Him: Very.
Me: So, the curve of my calf? I never noticed it.
Him: It's nice.
Me: Is that it?
Him: I like your ass. I really really like your ass. Is this okay?
Me: Yes.
Him: I want to start a fan blog about your ass.
Me: Okay that's a little weird.
Him: I want to write fan fiction in which your amazing butt falls in love with your beautiful eyes.
Me: lol. You are really ruining the moment. You were saying...before...?
Him: That I like your body. I like your stomach and your legs and your hair and I like. Your. Body.
Me: Really?
Him: Really.
Me: What is wrong with me that texting is fun and kissing is scary?
Him: Nothing is wrong with you. Want to come over after school Monday? Watch a movie or something?
I paused for a while before finally writing, Sure.
