Chapter 84
Sofia
I was doing some mundane task when a text came in from Niccolo.
It was a poem…
And it took my breath away.
A beautiful, glorious, life-lighting star.
I put my hand to my mouth in shock.
No man had ever done anything so thoughtful for me…
Or so touching.
I texted back, Oh my God!
You like it? he replied.
I love it!
Got one for me? he asked with a smiley face emoji after it.
I thought for a second, then typed, I’m not very good at it, but I have a poem that conveys my true feelings for you.
I wait with bated breath, he texted back.
I typed out,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I think you’re hot.
I want to fuck you.
After I sent it, I waited for a response – but didn’t get one.
Too much? I texted.
I immediately received a string of emojis laughing so hard they were crying.
Followed by the text,
It’s my favorite poem EVER. Can’t wait to put it into practice again.
I smiled and replied, ME TOO.
