Brodie: Hey.
Lizzy: Hey yourself…
Brodie: What are you up to?
Lizzy: Well. I’m working in my agenda… what about you?
Brodie: Just got home.
Brodie: Actually, I didn’t just get home. I’ve been home for about an hour—took a long hot shower and now I’m chillin.
Lizzy: So…. Why didn’t you tell me you had a game this afternoon?
Brodie: It was a scrimmage.
Lizzy: I mean, it was a game. YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME.
Brodie: I didn’t think you’d care?
Lizzy: Don’t even start that nonsense. But guess what?
Brodie: ???
Lizzy: You popped my cherry tonight.
Brodie: Uh. LOL what cherry?
Lizzy: I was at your hockey game tonight. You looked seriously hot out there on the ice! HOT HOT HOT
Brodie: Seriously? Why didn”t you tell me you were coming?
Lizzy: Because I didn’t know I was going. I was screwing around before and Bethany’s actually the one who forced me to go out.
Brodie: Screwing around doing what?
Lizzy: Working on my day planner.
Brodie: What’s a day planner?
Lizzy: You don’t know what a day planner is?
Brodie: Are you making FUN of me? Rude.
Lizzy: Sorry, I’m not. I forget sometimes that guys don’t know about girl stuff. My day planner is a calendar book. I like to, uh—decorate it?
Brodie: Oh. That sounds cool.
Lizzy: It’s not. It’s pretty dorky, especially considering I barely use it to keep track of stuff.
Brodie: Why have it then?
Lizzy: Cause it’s cute!
Lizzy: Anyway—congrats on winning the game. It was my first!
Brodie: Your first? Hockey game?
Lizzy: Game game. I’ve never been to one. It was so freaking exciting, I think I might have gotten a little tipsy. We had beer.
Brodie: Gotta have beer!
Lizzy: I have to admit…there”s something incredibly attractive about a guy who dominates on the ice like you do.
Brodie: Dominates? Not sure about that but I”ll take it as a compliment! But I do always feel like a different person when I step out onto the ice. Like I”m in my element, you know. Not as awkward as I am in real life.
Lizzy: Who told you you were awkward. I want names. NAMES.
Lizzy: It was like you were in a zone—nothing else mattered except the game. It was incredibly sexy to watch.
Brodie: You think hockey is sexy?
Lizzy: OBVIOUSLY.
Brodie: How? Have you not seen the uniform?
Lizzy: Have you not seen yourself OUT of the uniform? The secret is to picture what’s underneath…
Brodie: I’m afraid to ask if you were watching me and picturing what was under my jersey.
Lizzy: Of course I was, don’t be ridiculous. Obviously I was picturing you naked. Sweaty, naked. You know how it is…
Brodie: LOL Do I know how it is?
Lizzy: Stop answering questions with questions.
Brodie: Sorry, I’m only doing it because I have no idea what else to say.
Lizzy: Awwww. That’s adorable.
Brodie: Thanks?
Lizzy: **blows kiss**
Brodie: So, you’re coloring?
Lizzy: If by coloring you mean, decorating my planner than yes, I’m coloring.
Brodie: Ah.
Lizzy: Why?
Brodie: Have you eaten yet?
Lizzy: As a matter of fact, not yet. Are you in the mood for something specific???
Brodie: Pizza? Or noodles, idk
Lizzy: Both sound delicious. I could eat pizza every night of the week and actually—I often do LOL
Brodie: Well if you already had pizza I don’t want to do that again.
Lizzy: Whatever YOU want is fine—you’re the one who was just working. All I had to do was clap and scream my lungs out. Which by the way, I’m definitely losing my voice.
Brodie: You uh—want to come over than and eat?
Lizzy: Sure, I can eat.
Lizzy: Come to think of it, weren’t you eating noodles out of the container the other night when I came running over?
Brodie: You were running? I hadn’t noticed…
Lizzy: Ha ha, you’re funny…running is what I do best.
Brodie: So you can run. But do you skate?
Lizzy: Ice skate? Kind of?
Brodie: Okay, I’m not sure what that means.
Lizzy: It means yes—but I’m so bad at it.
Lizzy: WHY ARE YOU ASKING? Are you planning on taking me skating? Cause that sounds hideous.
Brodie: I feel like you’d stab me with a fork if I took you skating after you just told me you’re bad at it.
Lizzy: I’m sure I probably would but that would just be me flirting.
Brodie: Wow. You’re almost as awkward as I am.
Lizzy: You consider yourself awkward??
Brodie: Uh, yes? You don’t consider me awkward?
Lizzy: That’s the word I’d use.
Brodie: What would WOULD you use?
Lizzy: I thought we talked about this when we were playing naked Connect Four, a game neither of us got naked during.
Brodie: I don’t remember how you described me.
Lizzy: Quiet and strong.
Brodie: Like, the strong and silent type?
Lizzy: Yes, exactly. You don’t feel the need to be loud and obnoxious—and if you consider that as being awkward, then I guess I’d take one over the other.
Lizzy: This got real serious LOL. Two seconds ago we were talking about what to eat and skating.
Brodie: You’re right. I’ll figure out food, you figure out what we’re watching.
Lizzy: It’s a date.
