Chapter 31 - "Guys don't do that. Ever heard of the three day rule?"

If I'm dreaming right now, I don't wanna get up, not now at least. So for context I just dropped Alexandra home, like to her doorstep and kiss outside her door. The whole romantic cliche. Yeah, so that happened, but should we get into it right now? I'm on the road, on my bike, just reminiscing about the majestic, romantic weekend that just passed. Did that really happen? Or am I in a completely different world? This does not feel like something that would happen to me. This would be the perfect movie montage if you think about it... Me on my bike at sunset, just cruising while I'm talking about my life, hmm sounds about perfect.

Well whatever, as far as I'm concerned this happened. I shouldn't be over thinking it this much.

I reached home at a relatively calm pace and got my bike in the garage. Walking into the house I remove my helmet, and start to take my phone out to text Alexandra to tell her I reached home, but Ann snatched my phone out of my hand.

"Woah woah, calm down lover boy. What were you just about to do?" Ann asked me.

"Um, that isn't any of your business but if you have to know I'm texting Alexandra" I reply.

"And why would you possibly do that?" She asked in reply.

"What do you mean? I reached home. So I'm just texting her that I reached home." I reply with a really good reason but-

"What are you? A chick?" She replied quite aggressively I might add.

"What? How on earth does that make me a chick?" I replied laughing.

"Guys don't do that. Ever heard of the three day rule?" She asked.

"The one where you wait three days to reply after a date? Yeah I have, it might be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard off." I replied snatching my phone back from her hands.

"Ok buddy, don't say I didn't warn you" She shrugged at me and went on her way.

"What a strange person." I thought to myself, but I'm one to talk. 

Now, having the phone in my hand The words that Ann said was ringing in my head, should I do it? Should I listen to her?

"Ugh, why can't life be simple?" I said to myself, frustratingly so. "You know what? We ball."

I think that might be my famous last words, because that's the exact same thing i said before I ended up in the hospital a few days ago, but whatever might be the case at least it was my decision to send that very text.

"Wait, a damn minute! I am thinking about whether i should text or not but I am sitting with nothing to text." I said to myself. "The real question should be what should I text." 

How about, "Hey, just got home. So when are you gonna give me a chance to take you on a ride next?" and I hit send.
