“Hey sweet cakes. Glad you texted me earlier, I’ve been thinking of you all day!”

Out of curiosity, Luke scrolled down to read the previous message sent by Anna.

“Hey sweetie! I’ve been thinking about you all day! Can’t wait till I see you again, :) just a few more months!”

Luke read on and found a very displeasing conversation between Anna and a person saved in her phone as Calvin Quigley. He could feel the sensation of anger and disappointment as he continued reading messages that Anna had written to this mystery person. After reading the last saved message again, he dropped the phone on his bed and stared at it with disbelief.

Luke heard someone as she walked into his room. While still focused on the phone and the emotions that represented it, he said, “I found your phone, Anna. Calvin wanted you to know that he appreciated your message.”

Luke then turned towards the door to see Becca standing in the entrance way, wearing only a towel as it wrapped around her body. She looked at Luke with a scandalous smile covering her face. She dropped the towel and said, “Anna is not here. She and mom went to the store. I figure with the rain and the fact that neither one of them could drive worth a damn. We have maybe another fifteen minutes to do anything we want to one another. You can trust me, Luke. I won’t tell.”

Luke diverted his eyes towards the ceiling. He could his blood begin to boil further. He turns away from Becca and asked, “Becca, who is Calvin Quigley?”

Becca continued standing in the doorway, feeling the brush of rejection as it pushed down her ego. She grabbed her towel from the floor and wrapped it tight around her body. She looked at Luke and noticed the pain as it consumed his being. She walked further into the room and answered.

“Calvin? That is Emma’s friend in Oxford. He is a frat boy and…” Becca stopped for a moment and discovered why Luke would ask such a random question. She looked at the phone for a moment and then redirected her attention to Luke and continued, “Oh… he is nothing to worry about. He is, um, he is just some gay guy that Emma introduced me and Anna to. Why do you ask?”

“Well…’ Luke continued, ‘from these messages, he doesn’t seem gay. In fact, it looks like he wants my girlfriend.”

Becca thought for a moment before responding, “Oh, don’t worry about that! He is just one of those flaming gay guys. I get messages like that too from him. That is just the way he is… a total girlfriend.”

Luke could feel his emotions becoming balanced with every secure word that Becca spoke. He exhaled a breath of relief and said, picking up Anna’s phone, “Thanks, Becca. I tell you what: let’s start over with this whole shenanigan between us. Let’s just forget about everything and move on. We can start with you putting some clothes on.”

He laughed, handing Becca the phone and asking her to put it next to Anna’s bed.
