To give you some credit, you'd lasted virtually all week long and had managed to only reread the messages sent between you two thirteen times, but your curiosity once again got the better of you, so here you were sitting on your couch rewatching Criminal Minds for the 5th time when you picked up your phone and typed out a quick message
Unknown contact
Y/n:
Are you a man or a woman?
Or is that classified?
You snickered to yourself at the tv show reference. Much to your surprise the response was immediate, although on a Friday evening, you supposed they probably had nothing better to do. Actually, scratch that- a lot of people had plenty to do on Friday nights you were just a loner, but maybe they were too? Your stomach fluttered a bit, it would be nice to have someone to relate to. Maybe that's why you couldn't delete the number- it's been a long time since you've had a real conversation with someone other than coworkers and family. And that wasn't to say they weren't nice but... you did get pretty lonely by yourself, this random stranger on the internet at least brought something interesting to your life.
Unknown contact
Unknown:
A woman.
Y/n:
Nice! Me too!
I'm glad you're a woman cause if you were a man I might have to stop talking to you
Unknown:
Why?
Y/n:
Because you could be a pedo
And trust women more than men B)
Unknown:
I can understand that.
But women can also be dangerous
Y/n:
True.
So how was your week?
Unknown:
I thought I told you
To lose this number?
Y/n:
Awe come one :(
I thought we had something
Unknown:
What?
Y/n:
This could be the start of something new
Unknown:
Did you just quote High School Musical?
Y/n: maybe 😐
You anxiously watched the three dots appear and then disappear multiple times, after they'd disappeared for a full minute you decided maybe she was finally done talking to you and you put your phone down, at least you'd gotten a little bit of information about her.
You got up from the couch and grabbed some ice cream from the freezer, not even bothering with putting it in a bowl since you lived alone and had no one to share it with. Tragic.
You were two scoops in when your phone chimed again and you nearly threw your ice cream to pick it up, you really shouldn't be this desperate to text a stranger on the internet but your life was boring and this was the only thing you really had to look forward to.
Unknown contact
Unknown:
my week was long and very boring
How was yours?
Y/n:
Pretty much the same
I'm glad it's Friday though
I'm spending the whole weekend on the couch In my pajamas
To further emphasize your point you took a quick photo of your fluffy duck sock-clad feet resting on the coffee table, you could faintly make out the show playing in the background and the tub of ice cream was also sitting on the table.
So much for not sending feet pics- at least they were covered!
It wasn't too personal, it didn't give away anything about what you looked like or where you lived, it was simply an insight into how you were going to spend your time off. With a little hesitation, you finally sent the picture, hoping she couldn't track you with her FBI skills
Unknown contact
Unknown:
Wow, it looks like you've got a busy weekend ahead of you.
Is that a whole tub of ice cream on the table?
Y/n:
Hey! There will be no shaming here
This is a safe space ;(
Unknown:
Sorry
I didn't mean for that to sound judgmental
Y/n:
Nah you're good, I'm just messing around
Hey, is it too much for me to ask for your name?
I'm just tired of seeing "unknown"
Unknown:
I'm not sure If that's a good idea.
Y/n: I'll give you mine if you give me yours?
Deal?
Unknown:
Deal.
But you have to say yours first
Y/n: what?! but I asked first!
Unknown:
what are you five?
Y/n:
No
I'm 22
Unknown:
Congrats?
Y/n: fuck off!😃
Unknown:
Lmao
Y/n:
Fine I guess I'll go first because I'm the bigger person😤
Unknown:
uh huh
Y/n:
I can feel the sarcasm from here
Unknown:
Good
Now hurry up before your ice cream melts
Y/n:
Alright! alright!
-For your information I'm eating and texting.
My name is Y/n
Unknown:
you can call me Nat
Y/n:
Cool! It's nice to meet you, Nat!
I assume Nat is short for something?
Unknown:
Yep.
Y/n:
Aaand you're not going to tell me are you?
Unknown:
Nope!
Y/n:
Alright fair
Y/n changed your contact name to " Nat💼"
Nat💼:
why a briefcase?
Y/n:
because you're an FBI agent
Duh
Nat💼:
I'm way cooler than an FBI agent
Y/n:
fine, you're so picky
Y/n changed your contact name to "Nat🔪"
Y/n:
how's that?
Nat🔪 changed your contact name to "Y/n🍦"
Nat🔪:
it's perfect.
Y/n🍦:
Good
You check the time on your phone, the small numbers reading 11:30 PM as your eyes droop, usually you stayed up late on weekends but it really had been a long week and you were worn out. Although you were sad you couldn't text Nat longer, whoever she was she seemed like someone you'd get along with in person. Sarcastic and witty were your type of person. And also just your type.
Y/n🍦:
Well it's getting to be my bedtime
Nat🔪:
Five-year-old.
Y/n🍦:
Shut up at least I'm not 40 years old like you
Nat🔪:
True.
Y/n:
WAit- are you actually?
Nat:
I'm in my 20's
Y/n🍦:
Oh
Well thank you for sharing but I'm still going to bed
Nat🔪:
How do you even sleep after watching stuff like that?
Y/n🍦:
Stuff like what?
Nat🔪:
Criminal minds
Your eyebrows shot up in surprise, your fingers scrolling up and clicking on the picture you'd sent. There was a small corner of the tv in the photo, and the show could certainly be recognized by someone who'd seen it before but Nat claimed she'd never watched it. You shivered, maybe she really was an FBI agent.
Y/n🍦:
That's really creepy
How'd you know?
Nat🔪:
I'm just good at stuff like that.
Y/n🍦:
FBI agent.
Nat🔪:
Five-Year-Old.
Y/n🍦:
Whatever!
Goodnight Nat!
Nat🔪:
Goodnight Y/n
Sleep well
A/n: I had a random number invite me to a birthday party not too long ago. What's your weirdest random number story?
