hi anyone i’m paige :)

I coincidentally just woke up from a nap. No, I didn’t move on. I wasn’t even going to stick around, but found someone to be friends with and that’s where I’m at in that situation. And yeah, it would have been nice to know what was going on before you vanished & it did hurt but that’s not something that will change at this point because it’s the past. I hope you got through whatever was going on & I hope both you and the baby are doing well.

It is what it is, Anna Grace. You don’t have to keep apologizing, I get it.

I’m still here to talk or whatever you may need though, when I say something I mean it. And that extends to me saying that I want to keep whatever kind of bond or connection with you that you’ll allow. That’s one of the main reasons I kept a bio up and hung around.

I know, I know

But yeah, tell me where you want to meet

Okay, I’ll meet you at one of the restaurants downtown

Alright, I’ll get a table for us if I get there first

*gets changed and goes out to my truck, driving to the restaurant*

*parks out front and heads inside, getting us a table and a sling for his carseat*

*orders us both water and waits for you, scrolling through my phone*

*looks up to look around after checking the time, seeing you at the front then stands up, waving gently to get your attention* anna grace

*sits back down when you come over, smiling a little* hey

I don’t either *laughs a little and takes a sip of water, watching you* I’m nervous for some reason. And I’m never nervous

*nods gently and watches you then looks around* yeah… me too

*shakes my head a little and smiles some, passing you the menu* it’s fine, just try to relax

*nods and takes the menu back, setting it aside and takes another sip of water, glancing at the carseat* how’s he been?

hi brandon, how are you?

mhm he has *nods then thanks the waiter and hands the menu to him*

*nods again, drinking some water* Yeah, something like that.

that’s because I’m anxious as fcxk *laughs a little and shakes my head, looking over at you* Don’t ask me why because I have no idea.

Maybe for you they have changed a lot *laughs slightly and drinks some more water, leaning back in my seat a little after setting the glass down* Not much, if anything, has changed on my end.

Do you want them to have changed? *raises a brow and looks at you, twisting one of my rings on my finger a little* Because while they haven’t changed, I can easily make that happen if you want that to be the case. Fake it til I make it or whatever fxxking saying fits in this situation.

It’s just annoying that… you seem to have this assumption in your head that I’m moving on or over you. And it seems like you almost wanted me to? I don’t know.. I’m not mad though. But let me rephrase what I was saying *shakes my head and watches you* What was the purpose of you reaching out? I’m not asking to be a smartaxx, I’m genuinely asking. What do you want to come from this?

I’m talking to her as a friend, I promise that. I don’t have feelings there aside from platonic ones. I do want you here, but I also have my guard up a bit and that can make me come across in ways I don’t mean or even like. But I assure you… I have thought about you and your little man every day. You’ve been prayed for every night. Hopefully that gives you some… insight on where my head is at.

*twists my ring a little bit on my finger as i take a deep breath, looking around*

*raises my brows slightly and looks back over at you* Why do you say that?

No no I’m asking out of curiosity, anna grace. You didn’t say anything wrong. I actually wanted this to be in person for a specific reason that I’ll readily tell you if you want to know why

i don’t know where to comment but thank youuu, i really appreciate the compliment! 🤭 - rylie

*takes a sip of water and looks at you, smiling a little* I wanted this to be in a public setting so I could better control myself because while it might have been better to do this in private, I don’t know that I would have been able to maintain this amount of distance or lack of touch around you if we weren’t in public.

you’re funny if you think I’m gonna be pushing your axx away from me

That was the tame version of what I could’ve said gorda *smiles softly and looks over as the food comes, thanking the waiter*

*picks up my fork and takes a bite of my food, watching you*

*takes another bite, looking around and gently signals the waiter for more water for us both*

*takes another bite and moves my cup over so he can fill it, thanking him before turning my attention back to you* how’s it taste?

my sister gets it all the time *laughs softly and nods, taking a sip of water* I wanted to say this earlier, but you look really good by the way. Motherhood looks good on you

*nods and eats another bite* Of course. But me saying that shouldn’t come as a surprise since I always think you look good

hey ash, how’ve you been?

Good to know *laughs a little and finishes, wiping my mouth*

im still here//A

im so sorry thats not a fun place to be, you don’t deserve that

ive been okay, you?//A

hi anna grace

she isn’t, no. she used to be apparently so I want to be careful but I also don’t feel our conversation is anyone’s business but ours

Are you sure…? I don’t want you to feel like I backed you into a corner or like it’s your only option or anything

So in a way I made you stay even when you didn’t want to?

I won’t get mad with your answer, and you don’t owe me an answer at all, nor will the answer change or impact any of my thought process… but do you still love and have feelings for him? Coston aside?

thank you :)

I just got home from church, I didn’t see your last message. I’m sorry anna grace. I’m really trying to work through this for everyone’s best interest.

i was overthinking your wording honestly

No no, not that part!

Yeah, sorry for that confusion

hii lawson, im ryleigh

i’m doing just fine! how are you?

hey, your comment isn’t there & i just wanted to check & make sure ur okay - ry

ohh okay, makes sense

I knew you were lying, but I didn’t wanna push it. Thanks for being honest though though

you don’t need to apologize, it happened and it’s done.

that would be nice, just let me know when

hellooo :) I’m Ophelia

hi anyone, i’m noelle (:
