Awsten's pov:

I might have possibly fucked up just a little bit.

Two dates. One night.

Well, one date and one "get-together" with a guy from twitter who allegedly has a fiancé.

How romantic.

I hadn't been thinking of Otto when I'd told Dallon that Friday night worked for me. In fact, I'd been thinking about Otto less and less lately.

A part of me just wanted to cancel plans with him and focus solely on Dallon, but I knew I couldn't do that. Otto had come all of this way for me, I wasn't about to just ditch him.

Awsten: hey.

Awsten: i have a situation

Awsten: or something like that

Awsten: dumbass pick up your phone

Jawn: what kind of "situation"

Jawn: stop being so fucking cryptic

Awsten: i have two dates.

Awsten: on the same night.

Jawn: i miss the days when you couldn't even get one date

Awsten: fuck you.

Awsten: anyway

Awsten: i have come to the all-knowing and extremely wise, Jawn The Great And Powerful™ for advice

Jawn: im honored

Awsten: oh.

Awsten: oh wait.

Awsten: yeah, i can actually hear the sarcasm from here.

Jawn: look

Jawn: my advice is to just pick one of the two people and reschedule with the other one. if it goes well with the one you pick, then cancel with the one you rescheduled with.

Jawn: you're being very melodramatic today

Awsten: it's just like they say "the overdramatic bitch gets the worm"

Jawn: I believe 'early bird' is the term you're looking for

Awsten: nope :)

There was no way in hell I was canceling my plans with Dallon. I didn't want to make a bad first impression on him, and I didn't want him to think I was unreliable.

But I knew Otto was only here in LA for a few days.

The obvious solution was to reschedule with Otto for Saturday. It was short notice, and I wasn't sure how he would take it, but it didn't matter.

Awsten: how's the airbnb?

Otto: It's pretty groovy

Otto: Radical?

Otto: Is that the LA lingo?

Awsten: you're practically an angeleno already

Awsten: hey so um i actually need to talk to you about something

Otto: ...

Awsten: i can't meet up on friday.

Awsten: i'm so sorry, something came up really last minute.

Awsten: does saturday work for you?

Otto: ...Yeah.

Otto: What came up?

Awsten: just some work stuff.

Awsten: a meeting actually

Awsten: about performance and promotions and stuff like that

Awsten: pretty boring

Awsten: but gotta keep the boss happy, yknow?

Otto: Yeah. Okay, that's cool. Looking forward to Saturday then! :))

Awsten: awwww is someone excited to see me

Otto: Shut up I'm blushing

Awsten: then i've done my job ;)

Awsten: see you saturday <3
