i have no idea what's going on
right now, and i'm not going to
pretend i understand what's
going on inside your head cause
i don't, but i figured it might have
something to do with andrew.

corrected me.

riley bear
please don't.

seb 💘
riley!

riley bear
you know i can't talk about this.
and janie's being a pain. i just
can't talk right now, sebastian.

seb 💘
have i done something wrong?

riley bear
no. no it's my fault, it's just me.
like i said, i can't talk right now.

seb 💘
it's not your fault, whatever it is.
i'm almost 100% certain it isn't
your fault. i mean, i don't think
anything's going wrong.

riley bear
this is the first time i've been in
a relationship since Andrew and
I keep getting worked up over it.
everytime my roommate even
talks about you i wanna punch
her straight in the face. it's
making me feel really bad.

seb 💘
i'm not going to judge you if you
hit her. i can only recommend you
don't, if only for your own sake. i
know you'd only feel worse if you
hit her.

and babe, trust me. i would never
cheat on you. not with anybody, but
especially not with your roommate.

riley bear
i'm afraid to admit how much i care
about you, sebastian. i'm so scared
it's going to blow up in my face like
it did last time.

the evening i found out was the day
after i had asked janie to be my maid
of honor. then the next day she came
up to me and said andrew had been
cheating on me. when i asked if she
knew who it was, she lied and said no.
so i blamed myself, because surely it
would be my fault if i managed to make
him go off with some random woman.
then danielle told me janie was lying.
and i think i felt relief and anger all at
the same time.

seb 💘
janie doesn't deserve you as a friend,
you know that right?

riley bear
i guess. . .

seb 💘
any person that is willing to hurt
somebody that trusts them doesn't
deserve people like you in their life,
i can tell you that for certain.

riley bear
people like me?

seb 💘
people who are funny, kind, smart,
fun to be around, clearly considerate
of others, interesting, beautiful,
captivating.

the list goes on, but the list isn't
important. you are amazing. you
have got to be one of the most
fantastic women i've ever met,
honestly.

riley bear
i can't believe you would say that
about me. you are for sure the most
amazing man i've ever met. i like
you so much. you are such a beautiful
and happy and kind and i cannot
believe i was lucky enough to text
you that day.

seb 💘
i can't say i know what love is,
riley, but if i had to make a guess
i'd think it felt like this.

riley bear
please don't, sebastian. i'm sorry.

seb 💘
i'm sorry, bear.

riley bear
anyway, i seriously need to go now.
janie's worked out that i'm texting
you and if she doesn't shut up, i am
literally going to punch her straight
in her lying teeth.

seb 💘
alright, baby, just try to keep calm.
i'm here for you, remember that.
i'm not going anywhere, bear x

riley bear
you're the best, you know that?

seb 💘
hell yeah i do :P

riley bear
i'll talk to you later sebby, yeah?

seb 💘
of course xx
