into bed with Scarlet.
I close my eyes and not ten seconds later, I hear the quick buzz of my phone on my night table notifying me of an email. That’s weird. I don’t usually get many emails on that address, and never at this time of night.
I reach over and pull the phone into the bed with me where I’m lying on my side facing away from Scarlett. I tap the screen a couple of times until the most recent email opens. I’m surprised to see it’s from Match Pro, but more specifically from Lastgoodwoman10. I thought I’d heard the last from her when she didn’t show up for our ‘date’ last night. Curious, I open the email and read what she has to say.
Emmett, I’m so sorry about last night. I’m out of town and got wrapped up in something and lost track of time. By the time I realized I’d missed you, it was too late. I didn’t want to wake your daughter. I had to work all day today, and now it’s late again, so I thought an email was best.
I have something to tell you, Emmett. I recently met someone in person who I like a lot. I have no idea if it will go anywhere, but I thought it was only fair to tell you.
I know we have only messaged once, but I take my friendships seriously, and I consider you my friend. If you’re not down for some competition, I completely understand, but I hope you won't. We can delete each other from our Match Pro accounts. Just let me know.
Lastgoodwoman10 ;)
Oh hell no. It’s ironic that we both met someone in person that we are interested in, but I’m always down for some competition.
I like Téa, but we don’t even live in the same part of the country. Who knows if things will go any further than today’s friendship. I’m sure she will be going back to Chicago, and I’m going to be putting in the hours with the team preparing for this season.
I log onto the dating app and see that Lastgoodwoman10 is still online, good.
Me -- Hey night owl, I got your email. Challenge accepted. I appreciate your honesty, and I’ll share a little secret with you. I met someone as well, but I don’t want to give up on what we have going on here because #1 I definitely consider you my friend. #2 you turn me on, and #3 did I say you turn me on?
I wait and hope she's reading my message. She might not be online. She could have forgotten to close her app after emailing me, but then I see little hearts floating up the screen notifying me that she is typing a response.
Her -- I’m not usually a night owl. I’ve had a couple of late ones recently for work. I am glad you don’t want to delete me. I think the cyber you is hot, and yes you said you turned me on once already, but it warrants repeating. So who is this real-life woman you’ve met, and should I be jealous?
That’s a good question, I’ve never seen Lastgoodwoman10, so I have no idea how to compare the two, but Téa is exceptionally beautiful and smart and talented so yes, she should probably be jealous.
Me -- I just met her, she’s beautiful and intelligent so yeah, you might want to be jealous. Who’s your guy? Should I be jealous?
I wait for her to respond.
Her -- Oh yes, you should be very jealous, he’s kind and hot and very successful, the whole enchilada. He could be the one.
Me -- Seriously? So you’re into the whole romantic thing, huh? How do you know I’m not the one?
Her -- I don’t, that’s why I want to keep you around.
Me -- Your honesty is brutal yet refreshing. So let me recap, we both have a real-life person who could be the proverbial ‘one,’ we are friends, you turn me on, and you think the cyber me is hot. Do I have all of that right?
Her -- Yep, I think you hit all the major points.
Me -- So tell me, potential ‘one,’ what is your favorite thing in the world to do?
She responds with such quickness I know she’s not making it up.
Her -- I love beautiful things, beautiful people, and beautiful moments captured forever.
Me -- So you love film or photographs or art?
Her -- All of the
