Digital Strings Attached

Chapter 2

Huh? 'baby', huh?  Georgia thought, She felt relieved of her sister's short reply, making it look like she was uninterested. Good job then, Genevieve, she Congratulated her little brat of a sister inside her mind. She then began typing.

Justinsgirl: "Hello, sorry I just got back home again.". 

MrSmoothguy: "Finally, haha!"

WOW! That was fast!, Georgia thought happily as the guy's reply did not take not even thirty seconds.

Justinsgirl: "Finally? Well, it was you, who have been missing lately. Your status says AWAY all the time" 

MrSmoothguy: "Yeah, There's a lot that needs to be done here. I'm just having my downtime right now 'till tomorrow."

Justinsgirl: "Busy with what? School?"

MrSmoothguy: "Kinda. and some other stuff too."

Justinsgirl: "Stuff like what? You wanna tell me about it?"

MrSmoothguy: "Yeah, I wish I could."

Justinsgirl: "Why can't you?" Then she remembered it's his right to not share it though and doesn't want him to get the impression that she's crossing the line. 

                          "Never mind, it's totally fine if you don't want to talk about it. By the way, Do you already have the album? I just got  mine today!" Georgia asked, quickly changing the topic. 

MrSmoothguy: "Thanks. And it's just some basic stuff that we normally do, so nothing much to talk about. The new album? Yeah, have it rrrrrright here! still unopened and crisp. haha."

Jutinsgirl: "Haha! I bet it's your brother who made you buy it." Georgia typed while laughing, knowing that it was MrSmoothguy's younger brother who was the original NSYNC fan and the one who made his account to join the AOL chat so he could poke fun at him. 

                          "Nathan, right?"

MrSmoothguy: "Yeah, silly Nathan! Well, thanks to him, I'm enjoying this here! haha, the joke's on him."

Justinsgirl: "You bet! Those silly younger siblings and the things they do and make us do! haha!." Georgia typed while laughing. Actually, both of them were smiling or laughing in front of their computers. Georgia felt like a heavy feeling was lifted deep within her, she suddenly felt lighter. MrSmoothguy felt relaxed after weeks of rehearsals and guesting in between, to which of course, is unknown to Georgia. 

MrSmoothguy: "So you have any plans? are you going to the tour- I mean, concert?"

Justinsgirl: "Of course. Both me and my best friend would not miss it for the world! Are you coming to see it with your brother?"

MrSmoothguy:" Us too, will definitely not miss it!"

Justinsgirl: "Thought you're not a fan?! hahahaha"

MrSmoothguy: "I am also certain that I'm not. Urgh! Those boy bands! Who likes them?"

Justinsgirl:" You might want to take those words back hahaha"

MrSmoothguy:  "Schkiddin"

Justinsgirl: "Not funny, though" 

MrSmoothguy: "Come on, I was just teasing you."

                                "Hey"

                                "You mad?"

Moment of silence, no chat alarm, and an air of awkwardness as Georgia slumped in her cozy chair, holding her laughter. Ha-Ha! Gotcha! , she thought. 

Justinsgirl:" Haha. No, I'm not. Was just getting back at you!"

MrSmoothguy: "It's tearin' up my heart"

Justinsgirl: "Huh??"

                       "........when I'm with you. But when we are apart, I feel it too. And no matter what I do, I feel the pain", she went along the moment she got it. 

Both laughing, Georgia suddenly remembered about the tickets. 

Justinsgirl: "Hey, I wonder why the tickets haven't been out on sale yet. When do you think can we get it?"

MrSmoothguy: "It should have been out this week but, there's just some stuff that needs to be ironed out, I think."

Justinsgirl: "You think so?"

MrSmoothguy: "Yeah. I have a very reliable source from here. Kiddin'."

Justinsgirl: "Where do you plan on going? You're from Memphis, right? Is there a scheduled show there?"

Mr.Smoothguy: "Yup. They have. But, we're currently In Florida right now. How about you? There's a scheduled show also in Washington."

Justinsgirl: "Yeah, so we heard. We're leaning into watching them in Madison Square."

MrSmoothguy: "What?? That's one long hell of a plane ride! Why is that?"

Justinsgirl: "Well, I will be with my best friend. I don't wanna go see the concert alone. They'll be having a visit to their Father's firm at that time, so we figured we'll just watch from there."

MrSmoothguy: "Okay. Guess, I'll just see you there."

Justinsgirl: "Haha! Yeah, see you when I see you. Let's call it a night. Chat me tomorrow or shall I be rejoicing from your absence again? JK"

MrSmoothguy: "Haha. Hopefully, I still have time tomorrow. Do you mind giving me your personal deets? Like name, address, and number? Just in case I wanna ring you up?"

Justinsgirl: "My digits? Sure. Though I'm not sure as to why you'll be needing my address for? Haha!"

MrSmoothguy: "Never mind the address, I know it's not safe. You might think I'm a weirdo. I just thought of sending you something, maybe before we meet or before the concert." 

Justinsgirl: "Hmmmm, reasonable enough. Okay, I'll send you my digits first. Night?"

MrSmoothguy: "Night. Don't think about me too much. JK"

                                "Or I might be the one to lie awake. I drive myself crazy. Drive myself crazy. Thinking of you."

Justinsgirl: "Haha! Not so smooth, MrSmooth! Nightiee"

With that, Georgia crashed into her bed, and tucked herself to sleep with a smile pasted on her pretty face. Well, both of them did.
