And here I thought I was nailing the inspirational quotes.
Somehow, Kye was funny, and I hadn’t been expecting it. He seemed so moody and mean that thinking about him being funny felt strange.
Daisy
Not quite. A for effort, though.
Kye
Damn. I’ll keep trying.
I set my phone aside, trying to ignore the last text. Two hours went by before I broke. I liked texting with Kye, especially when I wasn’t able to text any other guys without ruining the lie we had going.
Daisy
Goodnight
Kye
Night Daze
I rolled over, smiling while I drifted off to sleep.
Thursday
Daisy
Are you busy?
Kye
Kind of. Why?
Daisy
I’m bored.
Kye
I’m at race night.
Daisy
Which is?
He sent a picture, a mess of cars and headlights. The girls in the background were beautiful and smiling.
Daisy
Oh. Sorry. I won’t bother you more then
Kye
No one said you were bothering. I just will have to race soon, so I might take a while to text back.
Daisy
It’s alright. Have a good night.
I flopped back, knowing he wasn’t going to respond but wishing he would. I was bored, and talking to him had actually been fun this week.
Twenty minutes later, my phone chimed, Kye’s name flashing across.
This time, it was a video of the inside of a car. He must have a stand because the phone went still as the engine revved. Suddenly, the car took off, the phone jumping once before he sped down the road. Then it was over in seconds, Kye yelling something and slowing the car down.
The phone moved again and turned to his face, where he smiled and winked at it.
“I won,” he said before ending the video.
I was smiling so hard by the end of it that my cheeks were hurting.
Daisy
That’s insane. Good job.
Kye
Thanks.
