" After our date on Monday, I put the heart-eyes emoji next to his name in my contacts. I mean, the boy brought me flowers and a Storm comic, and since we didn’t have time to stay for dessert at the restaurant, he brought me
a small pack of Chips Ahoy! to eat on the way back to school. He earned those heart eyes. He just sent a couple of texts to guarantee that he keeps them.
Do your thing tonight, Princess. Wish I could be there. I probably couldn’t pay attention to your song tho I’d be staring at you too hard
Corny? Yes. But it gets a smile out of me.
Before I can respond, though, he adds:
I’d be staring at that ass too but you know I probably ain’t supposed to admit that.
I smirk.
Why you admitting it now then?
His answer?
Cause I bet it made you smile
Just for that, I’m adding a second heart-eyes emoji to his name. "
