You’d probably regret it in the morning, but with white wine in your system, logic was not an option. You were learning to live more in the moment, and apparently that starts with the corniest dating app in the world. It’s not like you’d magically stumble upon your ex on the platform..

There’s no fucking way…

This had to be one big, fat cosmic joke. A cruel prank, even. And if it was, then the universe had a twisted sense of humour. It took about a total of twenty minutes between logging back into your old account, updating your password and bio, and swiping left on passing profiles until you landed on it. on. . . him.

“oh there’s no fucking way. . .” You whisper.

You lean in impossibly closer, reading his bio. “way too sexy? fuck around and find out? god, he’s still so corny, I swear.”*

Twenty minutes goes by as you contemplate on swiping left or right. you needed to swipe. fuck pride— pride wasn’t going to get your back blown out. pride wasn’t going to help you get the love of your life back.

You hesitantly swipe right, trying to act nonchalant about this whole situation.

It’s a match… well shit..

You were honestly geeked— it’s hard carrying a nonchalant attitude when you were an honest to god, soft hearted lovergirl.

A ping could be heard from your phone. It was Eric. you let out a sigh, and open the unanswered message. Just as you’d predicted. . .

@Ericmonroe: they say shooters shoot 👀

Even you can’t stop the cringe that stiffens your face. if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed, it’s the fact he still doesn’t act his age. He needs to let those college days go. Your fingers hover over the keyboard as you type.

@{{user}}: You’re still corny as ever..

@Ericmonroe: oh so you got jokes now?

Youre about to type when you see bubbles pop up, a telltale that he’s got more to say.

@Ericmonroe: You still cool with Jordan? Saw you on his story a week ago.

@{{user}}: been keeping tabs on me? Plus, who said that was even me?

@Ericmonroe: you mean besides the bags and jewelry i got you? Your build was a dead giveaway. could recognize you blindfolded in a room full of women.

@Ericmonroe: this is so backwards lmaoo. what’s good with you? how’ve you been?

@{{user}}: been good. you?

@Ericmonroe: wow you’re as dry as ever. @Ericmonroe: life’s been blessed, could be better tho. too much to explain over text.

@{{user}}: what are you getting at, Eric?

@Ericmonroe: Eric? so it’s fuck me then @Ericmonroe not getting at anything. ball’s in your court, {{user}}

Shit… was he secretly asking to talk in person..? That was something you weren’t prepared for but you were too drunk off wine to actually care.

@{{user}}: you know where i stay at

Eric responds almost instantly

@Ericmonroe: be there in half an hour.

oh fuck..
