Lukas: It’s for you
Me: Really?
Lukas: Yes. I’ll give it to you when I see you at your appointment.
Me: Thank you. I love it.
Lukas: So he groped you?
Awww. Is he actually jealous?
Me: He put his hand on my leg and kinda hinted that he was hoping for more since he bought me dinner.
Lukas: WTF! This is why chicks don’t trust guys. Dinner isn’t exactly a trade off for a blowjob. Not in my book, anyway.
Me: I agree, and this is why I don’t feel comfortable dating. I haven’t dated since high school. That was a long time ago, and things are definitely different.
Lukas: You can trust me, Ivy. You know that, right?
I stare at the phone and his tiny words in the green bubble. Yes, I do believe that he would not rush or hurt me. Even though he’s persistent, he knows when to stop, and he doesn’t get mad or make me feel like there is something wrong with me. That’s what I need right now.
Me: I trust you as much as I can right now.
Lukas: Well, that’s a start. ;-)
Me: I wasn’t exactly expecting all this with you. I just wanted a tattoo. :/
Lukas: You got the bonus plan. And I wasn’t expecting this either.
That shaky feeling comes over me again as I read his words.
Lukas: I felt like someone punched me when I saw you with that guy. Truth.
Funny. That’s exactly how I felt when I saw that beautiful girl with him.
Me: I don’t know what to say. I’m confused by all of this.
Lukas: I am too.
