i think i need to take you up on your offer

friday night? you have somewhere in mind?

While I wait for him to reply, I nudge Felicity’s shoulder with my own. “You ever been clubbing before?”

“Nope.”

“Neither have I. We’re about to change that.”

If he has that key card, there’s no better time to take it than when he’s drunk.

And he has no idea how fucking mad I am at him.

Daniel

Holy shit I was actually about to text you, I heard about your mom losing her mind earlier. Sorry I wasn’t there, I had class for once

Can’t do Friday but I can swing Saturday. I’ll let my friend know, introduce you, all that fun stuff

Morgan

Daniel

It’s a date

Morgan

Daniel

Kidding haha

We just have some stuff to talk about is all

Oh, we sure fucking do.

“How old is he?” Felicity says, clearly reading the messages over my shoulder.

“He’s a senior in college.”

“Seniors can be any age?”

“He’s in his twenties or something. I don’t know.” I close his messages. “I’m not actually going to do anything. Maybe flirt a little, if I have to.”

Then I open my text thread with Alyssa.

Morgan

hey you like parties right

“Wait,” Felicity says, “why her?”

I snort. “Do you know anyone who’ll go with us so we’re not massively outnumbered by older guys in a strange location with a lot of alcohol?”

“I don’t think she likes me.”
