Raye laid on the couch beside Jane who was watching a movie . They had just gotten back from school few minutes ago and it was already late in the evening .
Raye didn't mean to tell him anything _ the mystery texter _ but she gave in as he pressurised_ She gave in.
She opened her phone and messaged him.
Raye :.
Yes i went out on a date .
Raye counted ten seconds because it didn't take the guy up to a second before he sent her a message but there was nothing .
The small eager smile fell off, wondering why he hasn't texted her back , she sighed before lying back down on the couch .
Is he mad she thought staring at the brown ceiling , she glanced at Jane who was sitting on the small accent chair by the side operating her laptop as usual .
Jane runs an online small business where she sold her t shirt ...it was very productive so most of the time they were free she spent it taking order and all .
"Ah finally ," Jane sighed with a smile as she glanced at her friend ." I got five orders which I have to pack up , cause you know i will be having alot of class tomorrow "
"Hmm " Raye hummed shutting her eyes closed .
A frown settled on Jane forehead seeing the lazy reaction of her friend , she sighed before standing up dropping the laptop on the table .
"What's up , I need to rush upstairs and you are following me , I need someone to help me ".
"I am not in the _ "Raye words were cut short by her phone which dinged , she quickly sat upright picking it fast and reading .
Mystery texter :.
Hmm is that so , I bet it's your crush , how did it go ???...boring
Raye lips spread into a wide grin staring at her phone before glancing up to meet Jane shocked face .
She was looking like someone who was about to take her final breath now and then POOF _this ...Jane thought rolling her eyes she still said .
"I need help ".
"Sure let go " Raye said jumping from the couch she wore her slippers before following Jane to her room .
She typed quicky
Raye:
You win, Sherlock....it was kinda boring . But I feel nothing. What is wrong with me?"
She didn't expect a reply right away.
But it came faster than her brain could process.
Faster than the formal message , she frowned but shove the thought aside
Maybe he was just busy she thought walking slowly into Jane's room .
"By the way how is your business going , my friend asked for a small bracelet you posted ..also girl ,you haven't been posting any thing in your account since like for ever ".
Raye nodded dropping her phone on a medium size shelf which was close to Jane's messy work table .
She processed Jane's words before she said.
" oh that , right I have been busy lately , so you said a friend ,who is she ?".
"Some girl in my creative writing class , she loves bracelet and when I showed her yours she agreed to buy ".
"Wow thanks , just send her number and I will take it up from there " Raye said picking up her phone she saw a new message .
Mystery Boy:
Maybe your heart already chose before you realized it.
Her breath caught.
Across the table, Jane handed Raye some cards , which were actually thank you card , staring down at her phone .
"Here take " Jane muttered letting the card go only for it to fall on the ground .
She raised her head up to look at Raye who was swinging her hand while staring at her phone with a smile .
She wasn't even looking and kept stretching her hand to collect the card .
Jane rolled her eyes before smacking her forehead lightly , she walked slowly to Raye, waving her hand on her face. .
"Girl focus "..
Raye raised her head up with a frown " I am focusing ".
"Look at the card , you kept swinging your hand like you lost some bones in there " .
"Oh " Raye muttered glancing at the card and then at Jane , she switched off her phone before bending down to pick them up " sorry , you can package the order while I slip them into the box.
"It's just five , so focus , who are you chatting ...or wait _ let me guess mystery guy again ?? " Jane asked staring at Raye who nodded slowly .
"Let me just reply to this ok ".
Raye:
Yeah, totally,
Her phone buzzed again.
Mystery texter :
Why him ??
Raye read the message twice , what did he mean by that .
Yes she knew but she couldn't quite answer , since Joshua wasn't who she thought he was .
She thought for awhile glancing at Jane who was ironing the clothes and then she typed .
Raye :
Because maybe , he was nice , physcially there and I thought he was the one .
At least this didn't sound like she still hold any feeling towards Joshua , but she added the physcially so he could get the idea...that she just wanted to see him .
She stared at the message for some seconds before dropping her phone on the table as she walked to Jane's side .
They continued their work , Jane folded the t shirt nicely before placing it into the box while Raye , placed a thank you card and also placed a tag on the shirt collar using a tag gun .
Raye continue to glance at her phone waiting for a sound , or a message but she got nothing .
Few minutes later they were able to complete their work , Jane sat down on a chair while Raye slumped tiredly on her bed .
"I will need to deliver this since I have some minutes left ".
"The people who orders them , aren't they a little bit too far " Raye asked staring at her friend who got up stretching her body she shook her head in a no .
"They aren't that far , just a few hours drive , like one order two for her sister so kinda of it's just four places I need to go to ".
"Oh , that good " Raye said .
They were able to get a taxi for Jane who hopped in as Raye helped in carrying the boxes after Jane settled on the taxi Raye bid her watching the car drive away .
She sighed tiredly walking slowly into her house as she picked her phone up to see a new message .
He eyes lit up as she quickly walked to the couch before sitting down .
Mystery texter :.
But he wasn't enough though .
Raye stared at her phone screen before typing simple .
Raye :.
Maybe ,he wasn't , maybe he was
She looked at her phone and saw the bubbles again.
Now he text quick she thought rolling her eyes with a small smile
She didn't want to admit it but she was kinda of worried when he didn't text her or anything...she thought he might have changed his mind .
And literally , they had gone too far for him to change his mind , it's been weeks since they started texting and she now sees him as a friend ...not like Jane though , Jane will always be her bestie .
More of like a normal friend who she could talk to and share a lot of things with .
And now he wanted to ghost her that wouldn't be nice at all .
Mystery Boy:
I didn't think it would bother me. But it did.
Raye frowned something in her chest tugged lightly , like she couldn't breath for a second and then she could .
Raye :.
What do you mean ??
Mystery texter :.
It doesn't sit well with me seeing you with other guys or even liking them , even though it was nothing ...
A small smile spread on Raye face as she read the message her heart skipped another beat she laughed out sillily .
He was jealous and gosh it felt good to hear it .
Raye:
That sound like jealousy , even I didn't think it would either. But I wished it was you sitting across from me.
She hit send and waited ....
No reply.
Not yet.
Just those three little dots…
Typing.
Stopping.
Typing again.
Then gone.
