Me

You said you’re wearing underwear which means you are decidedly not naked. Also, too small underwear means I can see more of your ass, and more of your ass is always a good thing, Pictures please.

Evan

Gotta love a guy who uses words like “decidedly” in a text message.

I laugh again, even as my heart thuds at her words. I know she doesn’t mean it when she sayslove, but my brain and my heart don’t understand that. Those assholes are a runaway train, thinking of a time when Evan will say that word to me and actually mean it. I want it so, so badly.

Me

Gotta keep up with my brainiac girlfriend.

I grin as I stare at the screen, waiting to see what she’ll say to my little bombshell word drop.

Evan

Girlfriend, huh?

Me

Unless you would prefer “mother of my child.”

Evan

I do not, in fact, prefer that. It’s worse than baby mama.

Me

Expecting mother?

Evan

Vomit.

Me

Baby mother?

Evan

No.

Me

My child’s mother?

Evan

I BEG YOU TO STOP.

Whatever, call me your girlfriend if you need to. Just please never use one of those terms ever again.

I laugh out loud, my chest flooding with warmth, because this woman is fucking perfect for me.

Me

Evan Rhodes is my girlfriend. This is the best day ever.
