sory, hope that’s okya

Goddammit. He’s obviously drunk. But it’s making him get the way thatdoessomething to me—when big, tough, macho Roman goes all fucking soft and submissive. I mean, the fucker is literally asking for forgiveness, after the fact, for sneaking my number off his sister’s phone.

It’s kind of adorable.

It’s also really fuckinghot, as much as I want to tell myself otherwise.

Either way, I find myself adding his contact to my phone.

Me

and if it’s not?

I’m fucking with him, because, well, it’s fun.

Roman

Roman

Me

Pretty sure taking someone’s number without permission and texting them is spam, which is a crime, pal.

Roman

I feel myself grinning widely at the screen.

Touché, wreckage.

Me

ok not the threat I was going for

Roman

LOL

Me

Well? We’re talking. Talk.

Roman

meet? Face 2 face?

Me

Maybe I don’t feel like getting punched in the fucking nose again.

Yeah, I’m still completely fucking with him. I know the elbow was an accident. But I also can tell that he’s still really broken up about it, and the idea of making the man squirm a little for me is…a high.
