Spunk (Jonas POV)
704 Words
Holy s**t, she actually texted me! When my phone first went off I thought it was Jake giving me crap again about already being wrapped around Linds’ finger. I obviously denied it, but my boys not wrong. Jake knows that I don’t really do the whole girlfriend thing and he also knows Linds is the girlfriend type. He pretty much told me that he never made a move on her for that very reason. He couldn’t give what she wanted, so friends it was. It seemed like they were pretty close too, it wasn’t really Jake’s thing to defend girls, but that was the second time I’d heard him have her back.
Finally laying in bed, I grab my phone off the night stand, when I see it’s a number I don’t have saved in my contacts. When I open the text message, a laugh bursts out of my mouth. Was she flirting with me?
Me: Clearly I’m going to
have to have a talk with Jake,
pretty sure he was my friend first.
Me: Also definitely be flattered ;)
It take a solid ten minutes for Linds to reply. The entire time I’m staring at my phone screen wondering if I said something or she changed her mind about texting me. Maybe she fell asleep? Just when I start to give up and plug my phone back in, it vibrates.
Linds: Jake clearly just
likes me better.
I burst out a laugh again and reply;
Me: I see how it is, and
that’s fine. As long as you like
me more than Jake.
Linds: Ehh depends on the
size of your ego that day lol
I laugh again. The girls funny. I don’t remember actually finding girls funny before. Granted Linds and I haven’t spent a lot of time together yet, but she clearly has spunk. I like that she’s only known me a couple days, and already I can tell she’s not just going to take my s**t. Most girls just fall at my feet and agree with anything I say because I’m popular or good looking. It gets annoying fast, which is one of the reasons I’ve never wanted a girlfriend. Don’t get me wrong, I was definitely not a virgin, losing that my ninth grade year to a senior at my old school. I was perfect with going for a rough and tumble or having a girl suck me off, but after that I was ready to head home. I mean what was I supposed to talk to them about if all they did was agree with me?
Linds and I spend the next hour texting back and forth. She still gives me plenty of s**t, but asks a lot about me. We talk about football and baseball. The two sports I play. I’m pretty good at football, it’s always just come naturally to me. But, baseball is my go to. I’ve played short stop for as long as I can remember. I learn that Linds cheers in the fall, plays basketball, and is the baseball manager, and that makes me smile, knowing I will get to see her a lot in the spring when practice starts. That thought freaks me out for a second. I just met this girl and I’m already talking about spending time with her 5 months from now. It’s a weird feeling to be that into her already.
I decide that even though I really like Linds, I’m not going to put all my eggs in that basket. I have no interest in hitting on other girls, but it’s the first day of school. I just want to feel things out. It was for the best to keep this thing with her under wraps until I sorted my head out. Besides, am I really ready to be someones boyfriend?
