Falling into Love

I added a winky face for good measure, but as soon as I had pressed SEND, blood rushed to my face and made my cheeks flame. My phone vibrated with a reply immediately.


Before I could figure out a reply, I got another text.


Austin: OMG, that was cheesy. And unoriginal.


Austin: Yes. Woo me with your own words or don’t woo me at all ;-)


Liam: So demanding! Too bad I was never any good at poetry.


Austin: I don’t need poetry. Just don’t be a cliché.


My last message made me squirm. What if he thought I was stupid and high maintenance? 


Austin: I’m just kidding. You know that, right?


Liam: I guess that means dick pics are out of the question? ;-)


I almost swallowed my tongue. Was he serious? And what would I respond if he was? I wouldn’t mind a picture of his magnificent cock, but it wouldn’t feel right. It would cheapen what we had, somehow.
