Chapter 5 - Texting is Fun!
A week or so has went by and the feeling of Crowley being stalker has eased it's way out of my mind. I'm still going to be careful but I've since started to feel that I didn't have to worry about anything.
Tonight, Faith and Kevin were out for dinner so I was home alone with the pets, all of which were keeping me company in my room.
As I was playing a game on my laptop, I heard my phone buzz on the bedside table. Picking it up, I saw Crowley was starting to text me.
Crowley: Hello darling
Me: Hi.
Crowley: What are you doing tonight?
Me: Sitting around and playing a game on my laptop
Crowley: Hmm….
Me: ?
Crowley: Lexipup?
Me: Yeah?
Crowley: I want to play a game. Are you in?
Me: ….What kind of a game?
Crowley: Just one where we ask each other questions.
Me: Nothing personal?
Crowley: No you silly puppy. I meant fun fact type questions.
I thought about that for a moment before responding.
Me: Okay. You start.
Crowley: Something simple, yeah? Favorite colors?
Me: Red, Blue, and Black. You?
Crowley: Red and Black
Me: Uhh I don't know, haven't done something like this in years… hmm.. Favorite animal?
Crowley: I'm quite fond of dogs. I know you are too. What are your favorite breeds?
Me: I like bigger dogs and especially Pit Bulls and mutts. Like my baby, Coco. You?
Crowley: Same. Bigger dogs.
It took a few seconds for me to come up with another question. It's not too personal since we won't have to be specific.
Me: What do you do for a living?
Shit. I need to make up a excuse now.
Crowley: I'm more into…businesses. Kind of the boss of one. Best way I can describe it. I've also been a moderately successful literary agent while living in New York City.
Me: Cool! I'll love to go to New York City again. Only been there a few times.
Crowley: You going to tell me what you do?
Me: I train dogs.
Well. That was the best thing I can come up with in a short amount of time.
Crowley: Does Coco know tricks?
Me: Yeah I've taught her some. But I haven't done them in a while since she's up there in age.
Crowley: I'll do the same. Best if old dogs go for a quick walk and then sleep the day away.
Me: Exactly. Wish I had that life.
Crowley: You and me both, darling. I suppose it's technically my turn for a new question. Favorite season? Mine is the Fall.
Me: Same! What's your favorite holiday? I love Halloween.
Crowley: Halloween is mine too. Seems we have quite a bit in common.
Me: Yeah...
Seems like it… weird.
Crowley: Where were you born? I was originally from Scotland and yes I know my accent makes it sound like I was from England.
Me: Born and raised here in Ohio. What are you doing right now?
Crowley: Relaxing and drinking some whiskey.
Me: Same only with some pop. Or do you say Soda?
Crowley: I don't really care since I don't drink it much anyway. You
don't have to say your age but I'm curious…when is your birthday?
That's getting personal…but he said I didn't have to share my age…
Me: You first. : )
Crowley: It's November 19th (Fun Fact: It's the original airdate of the episode that he first appeared in. Since I couldn't find a actual birthday, I decided to go with that.)
Me: Mine is July 26th Next question: You traveled all over too, right? What places haven't you gone to or would like to go to again?
Crowley: Wouldn't mind going back to Europe at some point. What about you, love?
Me: Europe for sure. I went to Dublin, London, and Paris on the same trip years ago and wouldn't mind going back again. Especially to London, it's probably my favorite of the three.
Crowley: I bet that was fun. Where's your roommates at?
Me: Dinner.
Crowley: Ah. Listen, I have to go now but I hope we can do something like this again.
Me: Me too! Bye!
Crowley: Bye Darling.
I replied truthfully. This was kind of fun.
Setting my phone down, I went back to playing the game that I had paused and took a sip of my pop.
- Later that Night -
As I was getting ready for bed, I couldn't help but notice that Coco seemed to of been having a hard time jumping up onto the bed.
"Here baby." I said as I picked her up and set her on her pillow and blanket at the end of the bed. "Night." I kissed her on the head and went to shut the light off.
