Booty Call – Part Two

The last part to Booty Call – Part One He says, “She likes me but?” I say no but. He asks me who I am texting and I lie. We change the subject. I’m texting again, and he asks me whom I’m texting. I say her name and he wants to see my phone. IContinue reading “Booty Call – Part Two”

Booty Call – Part One

I sat in my bed enjoying the feeling of Friday, freedom from the semester and soon close of 2012. It was after 10 p.m. when my phone vibrated and I saw his name. I thought maybe he pocket dialed me.
