Nathaniel:
Em, r u coming tonight?
Emily:
u mean 4 work?
Nathaniel:
...no, there's no work 2night.
Emily:
_what_? Snce when? It's Friday!!!
Nathaniel:
the museum is holding some sort of formal event. Lots of people going.
Emily:
oh.... I don't have any formal clothes. Sry...
Nathaniel:
is that an excuse 2 not come?
Emily:
no, I'd love 2! I would feel weird coming and being the only 1 not dressed up, tho
Nathaniel:
K, that's it. We're going shopping.
I stared at my phone, bewildered. Since when did a guy take a girl shopping for formal clothes?
Emily:
uh, r u volunteering to take me shopping for clothes? Because... I thought guys h8ed shopping.
Nathaniel:
I'm just tired of u denying ur self things.
Emily:
well...
Nathaniel:
What's ur address? I'll come pick u up rn.
Emily:
but, Nathaniel....
Nathaniel:
no buts. We're going.
Emily:
I rly don't want 2. It's fine.
Nathaniel:
yes, u do. What's the real reason you're reluctant to come?
Nathaniel:
Emily, I know you're there, and I've been waiting for a reply for 5 whole minutes. Stop ignoring my texts.
Nathaniel:
Should I just assume that u hate me and don't want 2 go anywhere w/ me?
Emily:
No!!!! Gsh, why are u so persistent? I don't want to go because
Nathaniel:
Because?
Emily:
Oh, sry, I didn't mean 2 send it yet. Um, I would rather not say why.
Nathaniel:
Emily, please tell me.
Emily:
>empty message<
Emily:
Fine. I don't want to go because I don't have the money 4 formal clothes and I'm embarrassed about that. Happy now?
Nathaniel:
U thought I was going to make u pay? This is my treat.
Nathaniel:
And before u argue, like I know u will, just realize that it's useless. Either u come with me and pick out a formal dress, or I will go and buy the most expensive one I can find and somehow stuff it in ur mailbox.
Emily:
...that's illegal.
Nathaniel:
Fine. I'll leave it on your doorstep.
Emily:
>empty message<
Emily:
>empty message<
Emily:
Ugh Okay fine I'm coming.
Nathaniel:
Great.
Nathaniel:
Oh, and I have one condition.
Emily:
What's that?
Nathaniel:
You have to go as my date tonight
;)
