(3) If a text seems “off,” it might be a trap and he’ll respond with I think I have the wrong number? Who is this? If it is me, then I will respond with, “It’s me, you Dingo.”
(4) All text messages sent, received and deleted must be deleted after reading, as well as the call logs.
(5) If he needed to get a hold of me, he could send me an e-mail, which also must be deleted after reading, along with the delete folder and recycle bin, just in case.
I was reading and sending so many text messages and e-mails each day, I didn’t have time to work. My clients got fat, I was late for appointments, and my brain was a jumbled up maze of racing thoughts, all of which looped back to him.
Going to the grocery store was my usual alibi so I could sneak away and call him. He answered right away, he always answered right away.
“Hello, this is Grant,” he said in a serious tone, like it was a business call, as if he didn’t know it was me.
“Hello,” I said, in a faked voice. “Is this the Grant that likes to hook up with his best friend’s sister?”
“Yes, it is true, and I need to be punished.” We shared a giddy chuckle. “When can I see you again, baby?”
“Soon I hope. I miss you,” I said.
“I miss you too. When can you get free?”
“How about Wednesday night?”
“Perfect. What will you tell Levi?”
“I’ll tell him I have in-home sessions, he has no idea where my clients live or who they are, and he doesn’t suspect anything anyway, so it’ll be fine.” Grant snickered at my deviousness, he wasn’t thrilled to be sneaking around but he was happy I was thinking ahead and wiping our prints clean. “You pick the place this time.”
“Hmmm, yes, I’ll pick. Somewhere without glass walls. Come to my office, no one is there at night.”
“I would love to come to your office.”
“Great, I can’t wait to see you and your tight little tush again,” he said. “Do you think you’ll have another chance to call today?”
“I’ll make an opportunity.”
“I’ll keep my phone on me but I might not have a signal where I’m hiking, so leave a message if it’s okay to call back.”
“Aww, I want to go for a hike,” I whined. “Where are you?”
“The Superior Trail near Duluth.”
“Ugh…fun, I wish I was there,” I pushed out my bottom lip, “will you bring me sometime?”
“Yes. Baby, you know we will go hiking many, many times.”
“Promise?” I said, like an insecure teen asking her first boyfriend to never break up with her.
“Of course I promise.” He spoke with a confidence I didn’t yet have. “You should send me some pics today,” he suggested in the most scandalous tone.
“I’ll send one if you send one,” I said.
“Um…I’ll think about it.”
“Come on, it’s only fair that way.”
“Okay, if you send me some really good ones, then I’ll seriously consider it. Gotta go babe, Mwah!” He said as he smacked his lips.
