Chapter 27 Texts between Teddy & Ivy
TEXTS BETWEEN TEDDY & IVY
Teddy
Hey. Hopefully I’m texting the right number. Pretty sure it is since I bullied you into giving it to me yesterday
Ivy
New phone, who dis?
Teddy
Some washed-up hockey player stuck in hospital pajamas on laundry days
Ivy
Hmm, sounds familiar…
Teddy
Anyway, I wanted to give you the news first. I’m doing an interview tomorrow from the hospital bed
Ivy
Teddy, that’s huge. I’m proud of you already.
Teddy
Thanks. Kinda wish you were here though
Ivy
I wish that, too. But you’ll be fine without me for two days. Besides, I’m on couch duty with my parent’s new puppy draped over me.
Teddy
Lucky dog. Getting all the cuddles I want
Ivy
Bold assumption that you’d get any cuddles
Teddy
I’m an optimist and maybe a little spoiled now that I know you laugh at my terrible jokes
Ivy
They’re mid. Don’t let it go to your head.
Teddy
Too late. My head is already spinning. Might blame the concussion
Ivy
*eyeroll emoji*
Teddy
What’s the puppy’s name?
Ivy
Milo. He’s tiny, loud, and thinks he owns the place already.
Teddy
Sounds like we would get along
Two divas, one couch
Ivy
He’d probably steal your blanket
Teddy
I would let him, if it means you have to share yours with me
Ivy
Smooth, Seaborn
Teddy
I try. And for the record, if I were there, I’d be stealing your blanket first. Milo can fight me for it
Ivy
What a brave man, challenging a tiny fluff ball
Teddy
Worth it for the prize
Ivy
Oh really? And what exactly is the prize?
Teddy
The girl with the killer laugh and the world’s most distracting lip ring
Ivy
…You’re lucky I’m not there to hit you with a pillow right now
Teddy
I’d take the hit *winky face emoji*
Ivy
Big talk for someone in hospital pajamas
Teddy
Hospital pajamas look good on me. Don’t pretend you haven’t thought about it
Ivy
Oh my god, you’re impossible
Teddy
And yet here you are still texting me
Ivy
Speaking of being here…If I randomly show up tomorrow on my day off, my colleagues will take notice and start asking questions.
Teddy
Yeah I get it. You’re off the clock. No nurse Ivy making dreamy eyes at me from the corner
Ivy
Dreamy eyes? Another bold assumption.
Teddy
I have evidence you kinda like me
Ivy
Like what?
Teddy
The way you kissed me and couldn’t get enough
Ivy
…Touché
Teddy
And for the record, I can still feel it
Ivy
You’re incorrigible
Teddy
You like it
Ivy
Maybe I do
Teddy
Seriously though. Enjoy the time with your family. You deserve it. I’ll handle the cameras. Just don’t forget about me while you’re gone
Ivy
Not possible even if I tried *smiley face emoji*
Teddy
Good. Sweet dreams, Ivy
Ivy
Rest up, Theodore. You’ve got a big day tomorrow. I’ll be watching every second.
