How I had missed the sea

I should move here

Just sunbathing, with the sound of waves in the distance

Nothing to do, just breathing

(3:20pm)

Look at you being all poetic

Fuck you

Here you are!

That’s better

Ha-fucking-ha

Ryley has made you all soft inside

M’not

You never told me about your little trip for breakfast the other day ?

(3:21pm)

Never been! Ryley woke up in a mood I couldn't say no to….

So we ended up staying in bed eating Coco Pops with no tea

Oh 

This is…

So 

Nice

Yeah?

(3:27pm)

So you’re at the beach

With your boyfriend

How serious

It’s our two month anniversary

And you spend it texting me

He’s asleep

So you thought “I’m bored I should text Harry”

(3:28pm)

Are you mad at me or something ?

No

Why should I be?

 

Ni 🙄☘️

 

(3:28pm)

I swear to you, the guy is the most oblivious person in the world

 

Your chat with H @cellrryZ

 

(3:29pm)

You tell me

(3:30pm)

So what fun things do you have planned there?

Are you going to go sightseeing, just hit the beach?

Or spend your time in bed 😏??

Just quiet time yk

Lazy time at the beach, stroll around

Just being together

Look at you !

The guy who didn’t want to date

A proper romantic man now

🖕🏻

(3:31pm)

How is it going with your fwb?

Ben?

Or Brad?

Because there’re several ???

I have a thing with B names 🤔

There was a Brice few months ago

He was French… I think

And yeah ☺️

I’m a multi tasker

I thought you were looking for the big great love

Well…

It’s on hold

Meaning?

Meaning that’s not your business

Easy pumpkin

I’m just trying to understand

(3:32pm)

Understand what?

(3:34pm)

How is it that you, who were looking for a relationship, are just sleeping around?

Ouch

While I, who was running away from anything serious, ended up in one?

(3:37pm)

You tell me

Why Lou?

Why no one want to bother with me ?

Maybe you haven’t found the right person yet

Or maybe I’m just too stupid

Or annoying

Or ugly

(3:38pm)

Hey no pumpkin

Don’t talk about yourself like that

1/ you aren't stupid. You’re the king of excel and all that boring shit

Heeeeyyyyy

2/ Annoying ? You? You’re the most interesting, fun, weird guy I know

I’m blushing

Stop

Sometimes you’re annoying but I think it’s what makes you kinda cute

I mean funny yk

🙄

(3:39pm)

3/ Ugly? You don’t sound ugly

I’m sure you’re pretty

(3:45pm)

Is your bf pretty ?

(3:54pm)

Lou?

You’re leaving me on that

Nice 😒

 

Ni 🙄☘️

 

(3:55pm)

He thinks I’m pretty 🥰

(4:02pm)

And I think this isn’t fun anymore

(5:28pm)

???

(5:32pm)

This whole thing with Louis’ being your crush AND being my friend’s roommate while I can’t say a damn thing

It’s getting on my nerves to lie to Liam

(5:33pm)

Wow

Okay

Sorry Ni

I didn’t think of that

I know, boo

But don’t you think it’s time to be a little upfront about some things ? With Louis?

About what?

Idk

Anything

But please stop making me lie

I’m not sure if it’s going to end well

Fine


Your chat with H @cellrryZ

 

(5:35pm)

Right

So

You want to hear something funny?

I live in Birmingham

Ah

I live in the same fucking city as you

Funny, right?

(5:36pm)

Maybe we already bumped into each other

Maybe we took the same bus

Maybe we danced together at a party

Maybe we have common friends

Maybe we already fucked

(5:38pm)

But I don’t remember fucking a Louis so probably not

And apparently I’m only fucking with the B letter lately…

But yeah

The cat is out of the bag !!

(5:39pm)

Croissant

(5:39pm)

Liam

Payno

Lima

Where the fuck are you??

(5:41pm)

Are you playing with your balls?

(5:42pm)

Bowling balls I mean

Not your own little balls

Even though I don’t know if they’re little

Fucking hell

Come here

(5:43pm)

Liam James Payne

I need you

(11:20pm)

Fuck. Where are you?

I can’t sleep

(11:28pm)

What happened?

Where’s Ryley?

Asleep. Always out after an orgasm

Ewww

Everything is going well on this side

Ok, what is it then?

He lives in Birmingham

Ryley?

Yes I know.

Not Ryley

Harry

Ah, should’ve known it was about Harry.

And?

And he’s know for weeks that’s where I live and he didn’t tell me.

And?

(11:29pm)

We’re supposed to be friends.

He should’ve told me.

Ok

Would it have changed things if he did?

I don’t know

Maybe?

What would have changed?

We could have met already

(11:30pm)

And for what?

You already have a boyfriend.

Omg stop with that

Harry is a friend

or so I thought

A new friend you’re talking to every fucking day, even during a romantic weekend with your boyfriend?

Well, I’m texting you too

Yes. About Harry.

(11:31pm)

It doesn’t matter

Did he tell you on purpose that he lives somewhere else even after you told him you live in Birmingham?

No.

I told him a couple of weeks back and he didn't say anything

Or even hinted that he also lived there.

And this afternoon, boom!

(11:32pm)

He drops the bomb.

The bomb 🙄

Oh, fuck off!

I mean, what do you want me to do?

And why is it so important?

Ugh you don’t get it 😑

Clearly I don’t


Your chat with H @cellrryZ

 

(11:40pm)

I’m starting to panic a little

Lou?

(11:57pm)

Please text me asap

Don’t leave me on read 🥺

Ni 🙄☘️

(11:57pm)

I told him where I live six hours ago, he used his safe word and never replied

Fuck!

(12:04am)

His safe word?

Not explaining to you

It’s about Louis?

It’s always about him lately

Ugh 😣

Ok, boo

Give him time. I’m sure you’ll be back to being in love by tomorrow

😑😑😑

Tell me if you need anything

Thanks 🥺

Are you alone?

No

Your chat with H @cellrryZ

 

(7:32am)

Hey

OMG

Hey!

Why are you up so early ?

Didn’t sleep well

What’s your excuse?

I let your notifications on

Hmmm

(7:33am)

So.

What the fuck?

I’m so sorry

I panicked when you said you lived in Birmingham.

Why?

Idk… it felt too real all of the sudden

And then I didn’t know how to tell you.

(7:45am)

Lou?

(7:48am)

Again.

What the fuck?

You had plenty of occasions to tell me.

I panicked

Yes, you said that

I’m sorry

(7:51am)

What else do you hide from me ?

Maybe you’re really a bald 40yo or something.

Who knows?

Not me

I’m not.

But it’s not technically a lie, right?

Huh?

I mean, I just didn’t tell you.

Right.

(7:52am)

Look, I know nothing about you except that you study numbers.

Oh and that you work part-time at a cafe.

And you cannot commit to more than hookups.

Ouch ok.

The rest is all things I think are false bc you made jokes about it

You don’t live in Paris

You are not bald

Niall is not a real fwb

Do you see how it looks to me?

Yes I can imagine

But I promise that what I told you is true.

I just didn’t say that I live in Birmingham.

I swear, Lou.

On Irma’s life.

Maybe don’t involve your pet in this convo.

I told you a lot about my life

And you couldn’t even say “oh I live there too btw” when I told you I live in fucking Birmingham.

(7:53am)

Is that why you didn’t want to give me your number?

Yes

Fuck

In a way

I was scared 

Have you ever seen me on campus or anywhere?

No. I don’t think so.

How would I know anyway?

I don’t know what you look like

(7:55am)

Are you really mad?

(8:03am)

Honestly, I don’t really know how I feel.

I’m so sorry Lou.

Yeah

I know you are

(8:04am)

Look, I don’t think I can do this right now.

Ryley is waking up

So, I’ll go enjoy my weekend with my boyfriend.

Talk to you later I guess.

(8:04am)

Ok

I’m just glad you didn’t block me tbh

I wouldn’t


Ni 🙄☘️

 

(10:21am)

Sorry for last night.

Hope I didn’t wake you up

Also, I talked to Louis earlier.

He didn’t block me 🎉

But he seemed mad

(10:30am)

Oh well.

Can’t wait for him to find out you know his roommate.

This will go very well

Niiiiiiiiii

😩😩😩😩

What?

Am I wrong?

(10:31am)

No 😩😩

I’m proud of you for telling him part of the story though.

Now you should work on the rest.

Yeah I know

Can I wait a bit longer?

Not sure he’s going to talk to me for a while anyway.

Do what you think is best, Haz

Yeah I know

(8:31pm)

Hey

Still alive

No news from you for a day so I’m starting to get worried

Everything’s good

(10:30pm)

Sorry we were out all day

(10:35pm)

How is it going ?

With Ryley?

Who else?

Of course!

Great! We’re having an amazing time

The rental is really nice

I don’t want to come back home

Then don’t

But Batman is going to miss you

Just Batman?

(10:36pm)

Me too

A little

Yeah

Sure you’re okay?

Yeah

Just tired I guess

(10:41pm)

Have you talked to Harry?

Yeah

And?

Yeah

Okay

When you’ll be ready, I'll listen

(10:55pm)

Thanks

(5:02pm)

Hey Lou

It’s been four day

Hope you got home safely

(5:07pm)

Yeah I’m back

Oh Hi!!

Hey

So…

How are you?

Great!

Good

(5:10pm)

Going to see my family tomorrow with Ryley

Oh

Wow

That’s quite a commitment

That wasn’t planned, right?

No but yk… Our romantic seaside getaway made me want more with him

(5:13pm)

That’s good

So I asked him and he was on board !!

Now that we’re in love, I don’t see why I should wait

Sure

So…

Sorry pumpkin

But I’m gonna leave *our* city again for a few

 

Ni 🙄☘️

 

(5:14pm)

He’s so pissed 😭😭😭

I can feel the daggers he’s sending me through the screen

And he’s fucking in love

I should stop texting him while I can still back down from this mess

 

RYLEY

 

(5:14pm)

Weekend in Doncaster? Are you in?

And meet your family??

Why not!

I’d love to! But that’s a lot of pressure

They know about you

They’re gonna love you

I love *you*

Me too

 

Your chat with H @cellrryZ

 

(5:16pm)

Enjoy!

Hope you’ll have a great time

(5:17pm)

We will

 

Ni 🙄☘️

 

(5:21pm)

Tell him the whole truth, boo

You’re digging your own grave here

I don’t know if I still want to

Fuck

Boo?

You’re right

(11:06pm)

Are you sleeping ?

No

Can you come over?

I thought Ryley was here

Are you asking me for a threesome ????

🖕🏻

No

He left an hour ago

(11:07pm)

What’s going on?

I need a Lilo cuddle

Lilo???

Shhhh

Bring some ice cream and come cuddle me

🙄🙄🙄

One day I will say no to you

No you won’t

No I won’t
