Chapter 2 Patrick And The Pony

[Eli:

If I tell you that I was thinking about you, would you think it's weird? Because if that's the case, we will say that I was in the aquatic pony sport, huh? ]

I can feel my friend's gaze over my phone.

"Hiii! So cute!" she said, excited.

"You better calm down, Meg. I know this man just since this morning... "

"Yeah, and if that is the case, then it means my masturbation theory makes perfect sense... "

I laughed.

[Mya:

And so your pony didn't drown? ]

I tried to play along. Though it was true that it was cute, it was a bit weird all the same. The guy was thinking about me when I had

no idea...

My phone was ringing.

[Eli:

Yeah, it was weird to say that. In my defense, it's just that you intrigue me and you seem cool, I just wanted to talk to

you again. Right, the pony thing was great. But I forgot my swimsuit, so I had to play naked, which was quite disturbing for the opposite team. It was not the best experience for me, but I felt like the Hulk out there. Did you enjoy the movie? ]

"Similarly, you can't deny that you were also thinking about him. He was basically the first thing you told me about when you saw me. Go on! I'm going there. Kisses, Duchess." Megan told me.

Then, she kissed me and left.

I after took the direction to my house. To be honest, I haven't stopped thinking about him since this morning. He was the type of straightforward man.

[Mya:

Well done for the jersey! I hope you don't get any irritations, and talking about the movie, it was great! Now, tell me, where do you live? I was wondering about it and meant to ask you

the question directly.]

[Eli:

You see! You were also thinking about me, you were also asking yourself questions :) I live everywhere, but presently, I am in London. I will stay here for a while. That's the reason why I bought a cell phone and your mother's number has been reassigned to me. :)]

[Mya:

Frankly speaking, I ask myself many questions about you. :) I guess it's normal, you too by the way, right? How do you live everywhere? ]

[Eli:

Ah, yes? Feel free to ask me your questions.;) Me too, yes, I am wondering. We all ask ourselves questions! I have a job that implies moving a lot, but I don't really want to talk about it if you don't mind. I'll tell you more when we get to know each other better. ;) Where do you live? ]

[Mya:

I can't wait to know. It even intrigues me more that you tell me that. :) I live near Belgravia, it's not very far. ]

[Eli:

Yeah, I see... not really, actually... Anyway, I'll leave you, I am about to eat. Maybe I'll talk to you later. ]

[Mya:

Perhaps? Oh, I'm offended! ]

[Eli:

I do not care one bit! ;)]

I opened my mouth, shocked, and laughed.

[Mya:

: o]

[Eli:

;)]

What a pointless conversation, but it was so... entertaining. Well, I also had to cook. I wondered what he was going to eat? I would ask him later on. Whoa! Am I really crazy?

***

After eating like anything, I sat under a blanket and turned the TV on and it was broadcasting... a pony documentary...

No, I was not going to watch this... What if it turns out the sport was a real thing? Come on! I needed to stop fucking thinking about this man who looked like a teenager in heat...

All the same, I still sent him a message.

[Mya:

Did you see you on TV → pony documentary;)]

Oh dear, did I really send that? I was such a jester. Well, no need to get mad, Mya. At worst, you didn't care, you didn't know him.

My phone just vibrated.

[Eli:

Oh, yeah? On which channel did you see that? Am I a pony or a man? I would preferably like to be a pony. Although, if I had the choice, I would be a unicorn. Or better still, a crocodile! ]

[Mya:

Personally, I fantasize more about ponies than crocodiles. I say that... ]

[Eli:

Ah, yes? Then, looks like I have all my chances with you. I have the same ears, same nose as a pony. We are also about the same size too, if you know what I mean;)]

[Mya:

What rudeness, my god! Are you sure you're okay, Patrick? That's your new name in my contacts. I think it fits you very well! Tacky could also go! ]

[Patrick:

It's you, tacky! Come on! Change that name. Your girlfriends will believe that you are in love with a sugar daddy with the sweet name of Patrick.]

[Mya:

Already done. And now, that's a face I can put on a name. It's like a Patrick in my head. ]

[Patrick:

Nooooooooooo! If I am Patrick, then you are Gerard, his plumber colleague! ]

[Mya:

Shit, you got me! How did you know I was joking? ]

[Patrick:

Lol! The line betrayed you. ;)]

[Mya:

Shit! Now, I'll let your Gerard go to bed... Between Duchess and Gerard, you overwhelm me with sacred names... ]

[Patrick:

I think they suit you pretty well, and then you have everything to envy Patrick! ]

[Mya:

Obviously, Patrick as the name of a gang leader, is a snap! ]

[Patrick:

How did you find out I'm the leader of a water pony gang? ]

[Mya:

You also betrayed yourself earlier on. And then I must say, I have got outstanding abilities as a detective.]

[Patrick:

Lol! I intended to keep this secret, now I will have to kill you! ]

[Mya:

Yeah, come on! That's it. Good night, Gang boss! ;)]

[Patrick:

But where has gone the respect due to me? Good night, Duchess! ;)]

I fell asleep with a smile on my face, holding tight a cushion against my heart.
