naomi? you there?

Naomi
hey, ben!
sorry for the late reply, i was a bit busy earlier!

Ben
ah, that's alright.
was just wondering if you'd like to grab dinner with me tomorrow before you leave next monday.

Naomi
oh gosh, ben, i'd really love to but i've already made plans with a few friends tomorrow.

Ben
oh. . . that's alright

Naomi
how about saturday?☺

Ben
dinner this saturday would be lovely

Naomi
same time, same place?

Ben
actually, i thought of making reservations at another restaurant this time around. i heard the food there's divine.

Naomi
sounds great! text me the deets soon?

Ben
of course. i'll text you the details once i've made the reservations.
i'll come over and pick you up at 6pm, yeah?

Naomi
okay, see you at 6pm on saturday! x

Ben
if i brought you your favorite flowers, would it scare you away?
MESSAGE DELETED

Chris
what time's the dinner tomorrow again?

Naomi
god, chris
i thought we've been over this a hundred times already! 🤦‍♀️

Chris
i know
i just needed an excuse to text you 🤷‍♂️

Naomi
are you that bored?

Chris
no i just really miss dodger ☹

Naomi
well, you'll get to bring him to Georgia, right?

Chris
yeah but the flight to georgia's in like three days

Naomi
you're such a baby

Chris
i have no shame
anyway, what are you up to?

Naomi
nothing much, just packing a few things so that i won't have to rush & throw everything into my luggage the night before the flight

Chris
i think you're the only person i know that actually packs in advance

Naomi
well, i have a valid reason
brie, emma and jen are coming over to my place on sunday to spend the entire day with me and then send me off to the airport on monday
so, with them around (especially jen), it'll be hard for me to get anything done that day
and that includes packing my bags for georgia 😂

Chris
your friends sound great

Naomi
nah they really aren't that great
they're super clingy
they cling on to me like how jen's cat clings on to its scratching post

Chris
that accurately represents my buds too, if i'm being honest
especially mackie and rdj

Naomi
that sure sounds a lot more like mackie than rdj
rdj's always calm, cool and collected

Chris
nah trust me
rdj's clingy as fuck

Naomi
oh god christopher i'm definitely going to screenshot this and send it to rdj

Chris
oh no
no
wait
naomi
wAIT

Naomi
too late
sent 😌

Chris
hang on
oh man
did you seriously send it to mackie as well

Naomi
yep

Chris
great thanks naomi

Naomi
we all know mackie isn't gonna kill you like rdj is

Chris
he isn't but he's sending me cat pictures and cat gifs

Naomi
oh god 😂

Chris
or more specifically, cats pictured next to their scratch posts
naomi lindberg what have you done

Naomi
well, i guess i've prolonged your life by a few years, if i may say so myself 😝

Chris
what makes you think this is going to prolong my life?

Naomi
the fact that you're probably grinning from ear-to-ear and possibly giggling at the videos, pics and gifs mackie's sending you

Chris
you know me so well

Naomi
well, we did go for brunch three days in a row
can't believe i'm seeing you losers tomorrow again

Chris
ouch
calling me a loser, now?
i thought we were supposed to be the best of buds ☹

Naomi
that was until you doubted my capability in prolonging your life

Chris
what can i do to make up for what i did

Naomi
bring dodger to set and i'll think about it

Chris
yes ma'am
roger that

Naomi
chris

Chris
yeah?

Naomi
did you seriously try to make that rhyme

Chris
yep
it worked, didn't it
i mean, the fact that you're asking me right now means that you knew it rhymed 😏

Naomi
god, bye christopher evans

Chris
okay fine, you mean woman

Naomi
see you tmrw, dork

Chris
see you tmr, mean woman

a/n; hi hi hi i'm sorry i've been gone for nearly a month but i'm back with some new content!!!

i know i said i'd update right after my exams but as soon as i was done, i felt super drained and then conveniently fell ill about a week after my exams + i had writer's block again after that 😩. so yeah the start of my break was pretty eventful, i guess???

anyway, thank you for 97k reads and 3.14k votes!!! 😭💖💓💗 this book is nearly at 100k reads and i'm screaming!!!!!! i love you all & thank you so much for all your love and support❣xx

alsooo, i have something to share with you guys --- i'll be posting another bill skarsgård fanfic (yes, another because i can't help it) soon and it'll definitely be different from 'my darling boy'. i am not discontinuing the story but i might be putting it on hold as i'm currently having difficulties with writing it. buuuut i'm really excited for this new story and i can't wait to share it with you guys in most likely a week's time! x

ps. just letting you guys know that the next chapter's pretty cute & a little dramatic (i would actually post it now as well but i need to fine-tune it a little more!) 💗
