Reassure him

Emily: Dw

Emily: It’s ok

Freddie: Ok

Freddie: Can I buy you dinner sometime to make up for it

Freddie: Not as a date or anything ik you’ve got a bf

I tapped my chin, thinking. On the one hand, I didn’t really want to remind myself of what I’d just done, but on the other … I probably needed to clear the air.

Emily: Sure

Freddie: When

Emily: Tomorrow at 7 at McD’s

Freddie: Ok

I waited as the ‘Typing’ symbol stayed on screen for a few moments, but whatever he was going to say, he seemed to think better of it, and the symbol disappeared. I put my phone away and continued my walk of shame home, struggling to keep in a straight line.

Once I was home, I sent Nick a quick message:

Emily: If I see that video, or anything else, online I’ll rip your balls off and make you eat them

I didn’t even bother to wait to see if he read it. I collapsed into my bed and went to sleep.
