EMERSON
The memory of our unexpected kiss with Gary replayed in my mind,leaving me grappling with the swift turn of events. His proposition of being my date was equally surprising. Unable to resist him, I found myself uttering a hesitant, 'Um... yes, of course.' As I lay on my bed,thoughts of Gary consumed me. The inexplicable attraction I felt raised questions, prompting me to ponder whether sharing this revelation with Jules would be a wise decision. However, her recent jest about being 'busy in love' made me hesitate.
Texting her, I ventured into our usual banter: Emerson: What's up? Are you dead? Jules: Nope, just busy. Emerson: Busy in what? Jules: In love.
Emerson: Seriously! Once again? Jules: Yup, the previous one was an Ashole. Emerson: If he was an Ashole, that shouldn't bother you, as you know how to make a new one. Send me a pic of him, and let me decide for you. Jules: No, not at all. What if you like him so much and make him your boyfriend? Emerson: Oh no! I'm not interested in your Asholes. Jules: Yup, I know. You make your own Ashole.
Initially, I wondered if Jules was aware of my involvement with Gary, but her use of a laughing emoji indicated she was merely joking.
