The next morning, my laptop made a little "ding" sound. I forgot that I didn't turn it off. I walked over to my laptop lazily and checked it. I had a new message on Skype. I logged on.

Greg: Hey!

I smiled.

Me: Hiii

Greg: I just came from Nando's.

Me: Oh! That's Niall's favorite place! Do you live in Ireland?

Greg: Sure do. Usa for u?

Me: Yep. Usa. How is it in Ireland??

Greg: It's ok, I guess. It's mostly green, haha.

Me: Oh cool.

Just then, my little sister walked in. "Who are you texting?"
"No one," I said.
"Yeah you are! You're texting a stranger!!!"
"Shut up, Amanda! I am not! He's not a stranger! He's just a 27 year old Irish man named Greg."
My sister stared at me for almost two minutes.
"Okay.... What does he look like?"
I showed my sister his profile pic.
"He's hot, to be honest. Does he have any younger brothers?"
"I don't know. He said he has a brother, I don't know if he's older or younger."

Greg: Stacy? Are you still there?

"Hold on, Amanda." I turned back to the screen.

Me: Hey, sorry. My sister came in. She thinks you're hot.

Greg: haha, well tell her I said thanks.

Amanda got red in the face and playfully punched me in the arm.

Me: I know it's soon, but could we Skype.

Greg: Sure, love! I just have to fix my hair first. Hold on.

I waited. Then he started to text again, but it didn't sound like him.

Greg: Hello! Are you Stacy?

Me: yeah..

Greg: Hello! I'm the bro of The Greg.

Me: Oh, hi! So you're the one who burnt the mac and cheese

Greg: yeah buddy. may it rest in peace.

Me: How dare you waste food?

Greg: I know right? I didn't mean to. I love food.

Me: Same

Greg: oh oh, me bro is coming back. catch ya later

Me: ok

Greg: I'm back. I really have to lock my laptop or my brother will hack into it every chance he gets.

Me: Haha.

Greg: So I'll give u a ring. See u soon!

Me: Alright!

Seconds later, I saw that he was calling. I know that if my parents knew about this, I would be in BIG trouble, but yolo.
I answered and I saw him. He had amazing hair and eyes and his smile was flawless.

"Stacy! Hello!" He said. He had a strong Irish accent. I loved it.
"Hey Greg! Wow, you even look better on video."
"Cheers, haha."
My sister waved at the screen. "Hi! I'm Amanda."
"Hey! Let me get my brother, hold on. Hey, butthead, get in here!"
My sister and I laughed.

When his brother came in view, I froze.
"Hello, I'm Niall. Nice to meet you," he said.

I don't remember what happened after that.
