To Marissa:
Guess it’s nothing good
From Marissa:
My best friend pointed out that we’re basically in a relationship and the only thing missing is me allowing us to do the “fun stuff”
Even if I don’t suppose this is the reason she’s texting, I flirt a little.
To Marissa:
And you’ve decided to let us do the “fun stuff” now?
*cool face emoji*
From Marissa:
No
To Marissa:
Ouch
From Marissa:
I’m being serious
To Marissa:
Me too. Can I call you? I feel whatever this conversation is about, we shouldn’t have it via text
My phone rings a second after I send the text.
“Hey,” I pick up.
“I know I’m sounding irrational,” Marissa says, skipping the hellos. “I said I don’t want to get back together with you because I don’t know if I can trust you. And now I’m accusing you of being there too much, showing me how reliable you are.”
“Where are you?” I ask.
“In the back of a cab, keeping the driver entertained with all my crazy.”
“You want to talk when you get home?”
“Traffic’s horrible. I’ll be here awhile.”
“Okay.”
“Okay, what?”
“We can talk now.”
A pause.
“I need a break.”
My heart sinks. “A break from what?”
“From our platonic relationship. It doesn’t matter if we’ve been avoiding the no-pants dance…”
