I could be your boyfriend
‘And what makes you so certain I’d want to spend my summer with you? I’ve got friends. Places to go, people to see.’
‘I’m sure you do, but I was hoping you’d want to spend time with your boyfriend.’
‘My boyfriend? Last time I checked, I didn’t have one of those.’
‘Pity. I was sort of hoping I could be your boyfriend.’
‘Grayson,’ she said, her smile still in place but a little uncertain. ‘Is this your really naff way of asking me to be your girlfriend?’
‘I find the word naff insulting, Jacobs.’
‘But is it?’
‘Yeah.’ I coughed, a flush covering my cheeks. ‘I never said I was smooth.’
‘No, you’ve definitely proved that multiple times in the short time I’ve known you.’
‘You’re really getting all the hits in today, aren’t you? I might just take it back.’
‘You wouldn’t,’ she said, confident as all get-out.
Until next time,
