37 | Shaky Ground | Angel's POV

I start my Saturday as any other day, only this time, while I'm munching on a not particularly tasty sandwich and sipping on my tea, I happen to check my messages as well. And there it is, practically screaming at me through the phone screen.

Dragomir ❤:
good morning sugar pie 🥰

It's not the fact that he wrote me a morning text. He has done it before. It's the nickname.

Sugar pie.

I thought we agreed we aren't doing pet names.

How do I respond? I always end up overthinking such things when it's supposed to be simple.

Should I pick him a pet name as well or reply with the usual 'Morning'? If I do, it should be something I wouldn't be embarrassed to say in public. For the rest of my life.

Wait, would we even be together that long? What if he finds some cute boy/girl and dumps me for them?

In cases like this I miss Emil. He was the only one capable to listen to my worries without trying to take me out of my shell or make me act normal, extroverted. It felt like he understood what I'm going through. Or was he just pretending to care to get me in his bed?

And here I am, overthinking again.

Maybe I should go with 'baby'? I did call him 'baby' yesterday. I was hoping that he hasn't noticed but what if he did?

I set my sandwich back on the plate, wipe my fingertips on the sweatpants that should go for laundry soon anyway, and take up to typing with both my hands.

Me:
Good morning babe

Yes, much better than 'baby'. This one will do. I click send and don't let myself have any time to regret it, focusing on eating the dry sandwich instead.

I only have two bites left when my phone chimes.

Dragomir ❤:
any plans 2day?

I place the phone back on the table and finish my sandwich before sending a reply.

Me:
Study session with Alejo but afterwards I'm free
Why?

I think I already know why. He's planing something.

Dragomir ❤:
how bout I take u out 2nite?

Me:
What do you have in mind?

I hate jumping into the deep without knowing what I'm getting myself into. Not that I don't like his friends. They kinda grew on me. But they could be rather embarrassing most of the time and I still feel edgy around them.

Dragomir ❤:
the classics
dinner n movie

After turning him down on Friday night I guess I have to go. Although hanging in the mall could practically count as a double date? Even though we met by accident.

On the upside, his friends won't be there. I feel much calmer when it's just the two of us.

Me:
Just us? Without the gang?

Dragomir ❤:
yep
all urs sugar pie 😉

Me:
Which movie?

After he mentions a title I actually wouldn't mind watching, I cave in. And if the movie ends up being boring I could just make out with my handsome boyfriend instead.

I leave my plate in the sink and snuggle back under the covers. It's Saturday. I can afford to lazy around a bit more.

Plus, it won't be another hour before Alejo gets here.
