Perfume

Anyway, he answered my stupid question. At least I get to know what he likes to eat. I also mentioned the text message I was talking about with him this morning. He somehow became interested and forgot about what he was talking about.

"He has a nice name. I think I'm going to reply to him later." I smiled like I'm looking forward to knowing that person.

I noticed him smiled too. "See you later at the post office," he said and he entered their house while I continued to walk to my house.

After I changed my clothes, I went to my part-time job. Liam was already there and he looked happy. He made himself looked fresh, I waved at him and smiled while I walked near him and if I'm not mistaken he is wearing an Armani perfume. Damn, he smells so good. How much perfume has he put on?

"Hey! You are five minutes late," he said while he smiled as if he was teasing me.

I smiled back and I scratched my neck a little, it's not itchy its just for distraction. "Was I? Maybe you are just early." I smiled at him, "You seemed happy? Something happened?"

"Do your job, no time for gossiping!" his smile never left his face.

He kept himself busy and so did I. I noticed him checked his phone several times. My curiosity reached its peak. 'Is he waiting for Liza's phone call or message?' My heart ached with that thought. I tried to ignore what he's doing, but it's too difficult when he comes near me.

It's finally home time, Liam was not finished as Mr Phillips told him to help close the post office. I believe it's just an excuse, I personally think that he wanted to talk to Liam about something.

I left it to that and walked home. As I'm walking home, I decided to reply to James. "Hi, James! Do I know u? Wer did u get my number from?" After that, I called Liza but her phone was out of reach. It's a bit chilly tonight so I walked faster than usual.

That night, while lying in bed, I received a reply from James. "Hey! I'm sorry I couldn't reply earlier I was a bit held up. About your message, well we can get to know each other and I'm hoping to know you more. I got your number from a friend. I hope it's okay." After reading it, I'm amazed he actually type in the full words. Who does that in this generation? I replied to him with "Ok I'm Skye. Hu gve u my number again?"

His reply was, "Can't you spell?" woah, he wanted to know me and he is already criticizing me? I have a comeback of course, "R u old? Y type d whole word? Make it shorter so it won't b a long msg."

That's how James and I become text mates. I'm comfortable talking to him with things about me maybe because we cannot see each other. There is one thing that I can't share with him "Liam"

It's been two weeks now since James and I became text mates. I feel like I knew him all my life, okay, that's me exaggerating. We talked about our daily lives and the things we like, dislikes, movies, family, basically everything. I made progress knowing him that Liam. I knew Liam for nearly seven months now and we've been sort of friends for like three weeks or so, and I barely know him. Apart from our morning walks and little talks, there's nothing else.

Things are the same between Liam and me, though he seemed more energetic and he smiles a lot more compared to two weeks ago, he seemed moody. He was also on his phone whenever he has free time or not doing anything. Whenever he's at it, he smiles like an idiot. You are probably thinking I'm jealous, damn right I'm jealous! I wish I was his phone. I don't even know his phone number and all I can do is look and daydream about him, about us. Damn! Why is he so heartless?

Few more months went by, we somehow made some progress. What progress? He smiles at me more and talks to me more, while James and I are closer than ever. I'm starting to develop some kind of feelings for my text mate. He is way better than Liam. But Liam is Liam! I shouldn't waver. Liam is real while James is someone I haven't seen. If only Liam would look at me and talk to me like James does.

Liza came over to visit me and have a sleepover at my house. All night we talked and talked. I filled her in with all my dramas and other things. Since it's Sunday the following day, we slept really late. She will be leaving Sunday afternoon.
