Chapter 92 - 92: Should I Text Him First!? III (1/2)
(Third POV)
Anthony was drying his hair when he heard his cellphone making a ding sound indicating that he received a text. He walked to pick it up and flip it open. To his surprise, he received a text message from Michelle.
He blushed guiltily. She was just starring in his masturbation session while taking a shower just a few minutes back. Ok, so maybe he doesn't like her that way, but he certainly wants to do that with her again!
Why could she be texting him? Was she going to blame him for what they did? Did he ruin her dream of giving it to Andy instead? He bit his lip. Gods, just the thought of that makes him want to… never mind. He opened the text message.
[Good evening, Anthony. Were you able to get home safely?]
Oh… apparently she's just curious about that.. Wait, did she send this message because she wants to have that conversation? He sighed. Earlier, he decided to just act the way he usually does around her and just be nicer. He doesn't want to make things awkward between them, and he does truly care about her as a friend.
[Hello Michelle. Yes, I got home ok. Thanks for asking. How about you?]
Then he pressed send. Ok, that sounded stupid. Definitely she's home already that's why she's asking or something, but it's not like it would be polite if he doesn't ask her that back.

Michelle was surprised to see that Anthony replied to her immediately. Was he holding his cellphone all the while too? Was he thinking of texting her earlier but was just second guessing himself because he was unsure of what she felt about him!? She was so happy imagining that she made the right choice. She opened the message.
[Hello Michelle. Yes, I got home ok earlier. Thanks for asking. How about you?]
She analyzed the message over and over. Obviously, he should know that she's home now, but still asked. Was he being nervous that not knowing what to ask he asked a stupid question because he wanted to prolong their potential conversation!?
Her girly presumptuous mind and heart couldn't take the toki-doki heart pounding feeling! She giggled like an idiot. More confident, because he couldn't see her, she started typing again.

Anthony received the text and opened it.
[Yes, I got home earlier too. So, I was wondering… do you have time this coming Saturday?]
Shit. Was she looking for a good time to talk to him about what happened? Should he give an excuse so that he won't have to face her? Then again, it's not like they could just completely not talk about it. They were friends, not that close but still friends.

Michelle nervously bit her lip. That was really forward of her, but well, she didn't mention what it would be for. There was nothing bad about that right?
She waited for 5 minutes before Anthony's reply arrived. She took a deep breath, her hand shaking as she squinted first before opening the text.
Then, like an idiot, she slowly opened one eye, as if peeking just to read it.
