❝London? You realize it's past midnight, right? Why is it that the only time my hotline blings is after midnight? You do realize what kind of impression that gives, right?❞

❝I honestly was falling asleep but then I thought I would check up on you. ❞

❝Is this because of earlier? Look, I'm terribly sorry. I don't even know why I decided to tell you that. I'm really ashamed of myself if I'm being quite honest.❞

❝It kinda caught me off guard, but I get it.❞

❝Look, I'm sorry. I had a rough morning and this one guy on the line just kind of reminded me of my dad. I guess it just sat in the back of my mind all morning. And now looking back, that was a terrible introduction of myself and I apologize. That was totally stupid to spill that to you. That was a really dumb and awkward choice for a conversation starter and I'm just really, really sorry, London. I'm really, really sorry dude. Really bad first impression. ❞

❝It did make things a bit more...open and honest to say the least.❞

❝Sorry.❞

❝But I'm happy you got it off your chest.❞

❝Being honest, I am too. It's been bothering me lately. I just wish these thoughts about him would go away so I can go on with my life.❞

❝But why are you letting him stop you? You're allowed to have a life, Soph.❞

❝I know...you're right. But besides the point that I have unsolvable daddy issues, thanks for taking the time to check up on me. The thought is much appreciated.❞

❝Hah, you're welcome.❞

❝Matter of fact, you were just on my mind.❞

❝Oh, really?❞

❝Yup. Just wanted to let you know that those kisses left a good impression on me, so the girl you actually want to share them with will most likely be under your spell.❞

❝Are you insinuating that you are too?❞

❝That came out wrong, sorry. I'm half asleep and not thinking straight.❞

❝I bet...hey, I forgot to mention something earlier...something that's been bothering me.❞

❝What is it?❞

❝I saw Annabella at the park before I met up with you.❞

❝Okay, and?❞

❝I told her.❞

❝A-about Delilah?❞

❝Yeah. And she got really upset with me. Sophie, I think she likes me.❞

❝...❞

❝Sophi-❞

❝I'm still here. Just...didn't expect that one. Talk about a plot twist.❞

❝I'm just worried. What if she-❞

❝Well, you don't like her right?❞

❝Well...I never actually thought about it before...❞

❝...❞

❝Me and Annabella? I mean she's sweet, so sweet. And she has the most adorable laugh and dazzling eyes...but I just never gave it much thought to the fact that...that Annabella could actually like me.❞

❝Well then, sounds like you have options. Choose wisely.❞

❝I'm just gonna sleep on it. See how I feel in the morning. I'm just not ready to face her after that. I really broke her heart. She was crying on the park bench.❞

❝London, if you felt bad for everyone that cried over you, you'd be in a really bad position. And she might be a sweet girl, but until your heart decides what it really wants that's all she'll ever be.❞

❝I guess you're right. But on another note, I'm glad to see you're doing okay. It was nice meeting you. Maybe we can hang out again some other time.❞

❝I'll make sure not to have another awkward conversation starter, haha.❞

❝Well goodnight...babe.❞

❝Later, daddy.❞

*smirks and chuckles as he hangs up*

*sniffles, as she realizes she'll never win his heart*
