SkyeMy friends all told me I shouldn’t text you…
SkyeBut I’m doing it anyway.
SkyeI can’t stop thinking about you—
SkyeAbout that night.
ScottYeah? Which one?
SkyeThe one with you, me, the empty auditorium…
ScottAnd just what made me so memorable?
SkyeYour tongue for one 😛
ScottYou mean my smooth way with words? 😉
SkyeMmm, not exactly what I was thinking.
ScottDo tell…
SkyeI could, but wouldn’t it be more fun if you came over and figured it out for yourself?
ScottWhat about your friends?
SkyeI don’t need their permission.
SkyeThey don’t like that you never texted after the reunion. It’s been two months—
SkyeBut I could’ve reached out too. So how about it? Come over?
Scott
SkyeSeriously? Forget it. This was a mistake.
ScottYeah, but only because I’m not who you think I am…
SkyeWhat are you talking about?
ScottI’m not the guy from the auditorium. You have the wrong number.
SkyeNo.
Scott‘Fraid so.
SkyeOh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
ScottThat’s what she said.
SkyeThat’s not funny.
ScottWell, it’s a little funny 😉
ScottYou still there?
ScottHello?
ScottI’m sorry.
SkyeHow could you let me go on like that?
SkyeTalking about that night, your tongue, inviting you over…
ScottYour text came out of nowhere, I was trying to figure out if I knew you.
ScottWhat if we had a night of hot, mind-blowing sex?
ScottWhat if for months, all you could think about was the way I held you up against the wall?
ScottMaybe your thighs had been wrapped around my waist while you’d been screaming out my name…
ScottAnd then I didn’t remember you?
ScottI just wanted to be sure. I think that makes me a nice guy.
SkyeYeah? Just how many of these random encounters do you have that you’re so afraid of forgetting?
ScottWell, I’m easy to look at and relatively charming, if I do say so myself—
ScottSo I’ve had my fair share.
SkyeOf women you’ve ravished in auditoriums?
ScottRavished…I like that.
SkyeYou didn’t answer the question.
ScottOkay, the auditorium thing may have tipped me off that you had the wrong number.
SkyeSo why didn’t you say anything?
SkyeWhy did you keep the conversation going?
ScottThe same reason you’re still texting with me now.
SkyeAnd why’s that?
ScottIntrigue.
ScottYou could have blocked my number or told me to get lost — but you didn’t.
ScottYou’re still here. You piqued my curiosity…
ScottAnd I must have piqued yours.
SkyeIs that so?
ScottIt is.
SkyeIs that all I peaked?
ScottAhh, so we’re going there…? 😜
SkyeNo. Maybe. No! What am I doing?
SkyeI don’t know why I even wrote that.
ScottI have a few ideas…
SkyeNo, this is crazy.
SkyeI don’t know anything about you except that you’re apparently attractive and think you’re good in bed.
ScottNot think — I know it.
ScottAnd if I remember correctly, I never mentioned a bed, although they’re fun too 😉
SkyeOkay, seriously, you could be anyone.
Skye*I* could be anyone. What would you do if it turned out I was some ninety-year-old grandma texting you?
ScottWho had a wild night at her reunion and wanted her hookup to come over?
ScottI’d say go Granny!
SkyeYou know what I mean.
ScottAll right. What do you want to know?
ScottAsk me anything.
SkyeAnything?
ScottYep, I’m an open book.
SkyeI’m going to hold you to that. But for starters, how old are you?
Scott27. Do I get to ask questions too?
SkyeI guess that’s only fair.
ScottOkay, how old are you?
SkyeThe same.
ScottSee, we’re already matching up.
SkyeThere’s still a lot more to find out.
ScottI bet you want to know what I look like.
SkyeIt’s crossed my mind…
Scott6’3”, brown hair, green eyes, with a giant dimple in my right cheek and tight abs.
ScottWant more details? I’m happy to provide.
SkyeYou sound kind of fake.
ScottI’ll take that as a compliment, but I’m not. Promise.
ScottI can send you a selfie, if you want.
ScottYou know, I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours… 😉
SkyeDon’t think we’re quite there yet.
ScottI meant a fully clothed one, not that I’d object to the other kind…
SkyeI knew what you meant, but still…
ScottOkay. Do I at least get a description?
SkyeDirty blonde hair, just past my shoulders. Currently in a pony tail.
ScottDon’t stop.
SkyeThat’s what he said.
ScottAhh, I see what you did there. Is that all I’m going to get?
SkyeDo you want more?
ScottOh, I want much, much more…
SkyeBlue eyes.
ScottGo on.
SkyeAverage height, above average curves.
ScottNice. I like when I have something to hold onto. Tell me more.
Skye
ScottWhat’s wrong?
SkyeI feel silly.
ScottWhy?
SkyeWhy?! Because I’m describing myself and exchanging fantasies over text with a stranger!
SkyeThis isn’t something I’ve ever done before.
ScottMe neither. And we don’t have to jump to that, we can just talk.
SkyeWhy would someone who is, to quote you, “easy to look at and relatively charming…”
SkyeEven want to text with someone they’ve never met?
ScottI told you. I’m intrigued. YOU intrigue me.
ScottThe only difference between this and meeting on Tinder or randomly in a bar, is that THIS is unexpected.
ScottI like that. It feels like kismet.
SkyeDon’t tell me you’re a romantic.
ScottOn occasion.
SkyeI can’t believe I’m doing this with a stranger.
ScottThat’s why we’re getting to know each other—
ScottJust think of the story it will make.
SkyeI don’t even know your name.
ScottThat can be fixed. It’s Caleb.
SkyeCaleb…Caleb what?
CalebDoes it matter?
SkyeYes. You said you’d answer anything. Caleb what?
CalebHansen.
SkyeOh. My. God. You’re *that* Caleb.
