Gently, I attempted to move my foot around, and that’s when I felt it. There was still a fair amount of tightness and tenderness. Before I had the chance to pull the blanket back, my phone indicated another text had come through.
Forrest
You’re still in bed… there’s a nice thought.
Aside from all the sweet things he’d done for me since the moment I met him that were really just an indication of how great of a guy he was, there was this.
The flirting.
Forrest had been a gentleman from the beginning, but as time went on and we spent more of it together, I couldn’t miss how comfortable he was becoming.
I liked it a lot, even if it didn’t help me to not have unsavory dreams or to side with that voice in my head telling me I needed to take things slow.
In fact, it did quite the opposite, fueling my desire to flirt right back with him.
Daisy
Would you think it was even nicer to know I saw your name and started grinning like an idiot?
I was glad the voice in my head seemed to be losing. If there was a chance that Forrest liked me, that he’d want something similar to what I’d been happily dreaming about, I thought it was important for him to get the truest version of me. I’d never been one to really hold back from saying what I felt and doing what I liked, and trying to hold myself back just didn’t sit well with me. It didn’t feel natural.
Besides, this was merely flirting. And we were doing it through text. What harm could me being so forward and teasing him back cause, beyond making him realize he wasn’t into it?
If that had been a genuine worry of mine, it vanished when I got his response.
Forrest
You probably looked the same way I did as I fell asleep last night and typed out the first text to you this morning. Thinking about you makes me smile.
I loved that Forrest was willing to be just as direct about how he was feeling. It crossed my mind that he might have realized we were going to have only so many days together, and it didn’t make sense to waste any of them being sheepish.
Believing that might have been the case only emboldened me. With a smile plastered on my face, I tapped out another reply.
Daisy
If that’s what happens when you think about me, what happens when you see me?
As soon as I sent that text, I realized how much I was hoping for a positive response. I gripped my phone tightly in my hand as I anxiously awaited his reply.
Forrest
Can I be honest?
Daisy
Yes, please.
The anticipation and excitement were building as I stared at my phone while he typed his response. I felt nerves for the first time in a long time. Why did it matter so much to me what he was going to say?
Forrest
I have a lot of R-rated thoughts about you.
His admission felt like the biggest victory. Forrest had been having naughty thoughts about me. I bit down on my bottom lip as I typed furiously on my phone.
Daisy
Oh, that’s a shame.
