The heatwave is a nightmare
I’m trying to sleep window open and there’s no air
(11:34pm)
Hello stranger
What?
It’s been five days
Really?
Fuck
Sorry
But you didn’t text either
Boyfriend kept you busy ?
(11:36pm)
You could say that
What’s your excuse?
No excuse.
Is he next to you?
No he’s at his place tonight
Too hot to sleep together
(11:37pm)
Tell me about him?
Eh?
Ryley. Your boyfriend. Tell me things
Are you serious ?
You never talk about him with me.
Why’s that? 🧐
(11:40pm)
Louis
Come on
I can’t sleep either so entertain me with your happiness
And I’m your friend, right? So why not tell me things?
(11:41pm)
Fuck okay
What do you want to know ?
Does he treat you right ?
Pumpkin…
What? It’s important
Just tell me that. I won’t push for more
(11:43pm)
He treats me well. He’s really a nice guy. Fun to hang with. He’s really easygoing.
Yk I wasn’t the dating type but with him it all seems natural.
And it definitely helps that we're both fans of Zayn.
(11:45pm)
I’m glad you’re having a good time. He’s always so kind to me when we’re interacting.
Yeah he knows we’re friends
So he’d better be nice to you
Don’t worry. He is 😁
(11:56pm)
Are you surviving the heat in Paris ?
Ah!
Not really… I have a fan, but it’s not enough
I should buy myself one
Or I should buy a mini-pool and swim with Batman
And we can even invite Irma
(11:57pm)
Just Irma?
Oh
Would you like to come too?

Harold
(11:58pm)
All right
if you must
☺️☺️☺️
You know where I live so…
I know which city you live in, that’s all 🙄
It’s not like I'm going to knock on every door or shout "Lou" in every street
Shame
(12:03am)
Tell me something about yourself I don’t know
(12:05am)
I have a moth tattooed on my belly
What??
Do you want proof?

Not in my room, no
Fuck
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(12:07am)
Pretty
That must have hurt like a bitch
Yeah a little! But it was worth it!
And I generally handle the pain well 😏
(12:08am)
Ok
I have one on my chest too
Really??
Can I see?
RYLEY
(12:08am)
Goodnight babe
Idk if you’re still awake but just wanted to tell you I miss you
Still awake
And miss you too
I sleep better when you’re here
Same! Fuck the heat really
What time do you finish tomorrow?
I'm on the day shift until around 5 pm
(12:09am)
Come to my place right after?
Sure
(12:10am)
Alright, I'm going to try to get some sleep
Night Ry

I’m on the bus. Don’t wait for me. I’m heading to Ryley’s
(5:17pm)
Noted!
I’m not at home either. I’m with some mates and we’ll probably go bowling afterwards
Play with balls?
Eh?
Nothing
Don’t miss the last bus like last time
Ok dad
Horan will drive me back
Ok
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(5:18pm)
What’s the deal with all these people bowling these days?
Seriously
It’s just… put three fingers in a hole and throw your ball
(5:20pm)
Louis!!!!
WTF!!!
I have your notifications on !!
And I’m at work!!!
What?
Reread your last text
Oh fuck
Yes
Fucking hell
(5:21pm)
Your fault! You shouldn’t have my notif on
I’m reconsidering it tbh
Not my fault your mind went straight into the gutter
Fingers!
Hole!
Ball!
Don’t put the blame on me
You seems tense, love
Maybe you should release some of this…
tension
(5:26pm)
Where’s Ryley?
Why are you asking ?
Just to remind you have a bf
And maybe you shouldn’t talk about hole and fingers with another person behind his back
(5:40pm)
Lou?
Fine
Talk to you later I guess
Ni 🙄☘️
(6:42pm)
Are you free tonight ?
(6:51pm)
Sorry boo
I’m already out with some mates! But you could join us if you want?
(6:55pm)
No, it’s fine
With the heat, I’d rather head straight home
Irma will be worried if I leave them alone for one more evening
Raincheck?
(7:03pm)
💯
Tomorrow if you want?
(7:05pm)
Perfect
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(11:39pm)
Are you giving me the silent treatment?
(11:52pm)
No
Ok
(11:56pm)
Alone again?
Yeah
(12:03am)
Do they look mad?
It’s a fish Haz
And?
They have feelings
Like us
Sure
So?
So?
Do they look mad?
(12:04am)
No they don’t look mad
They’re just thinking of the sea
Swim freely
What?
Do you think they’re unhappy ????
I don’t know
Maybe
😭😭😭
Maybe they want to go back to the sea and befriend a mermaid
Oh
Wait
(12:
Harold????
(12:06am)
I have one with me
Maybe I should show them and they could *talk*
Talk? Between your fish and your tattoo ??
That’s an idea!
I’ll try it tomorrow since I’m not working !
You do that
Tell me how it goes
Of course 💃🏻
(12:09am)
Sooooo… I showed you two of my tattoos and you still gave me nothing…
You know where I live. You already know too much
Lou 🥺🥺🥺
No
☹️☹️☹️
No
Just a tiny bit
Not a full pic
Just a little tiny small bit
You’re annoying
Always for you 🥰
RYLEY
(12:10am)
Good night babe! The evening was really nice 😏😏😏
I’m still a little sore
Oh shit! Sorry
No, don't be! That was nice to see you so … wild
Like you had something to prove
Nothing to prove. I was just horny I guess
Be horny more often then!!
(12:11am)
Ahaha ok
Afternoon shift right?
Yeah
I’ll finish late
Too bad!
If you feel like it afterwards come back to mine and spend the night
Oh yes please!
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(12:12am)

RYLEY
(12:12am)
Good night

Ok! Night Leeyum
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(12:14am)
Sorry I was talking to Ryley
And Liam
(12:15am)
Liam?
My roommate
I think you never told me his name
Oh?
There you go!
So what now?
I have your roommate’s name so no pic?
Ahaha
That’s a good trade
I didn’t think about that
😩💀😩
You only have yourself to blame!
🖕🏻
And here I was… thinking about sending you THE pic
Fuck you
(12:16am)
But then I thought… maybe I shouldn’t send a pic to another person behind my bf’s back
I knew it!
You were mad bc I said that
Guess you’ll never know!!
(12:25am)
LIMA BEAN 🫘
(12:26am)
Still up?
Yep!
Should I ask Harry for his number?
I thought we’d already talk about that
We’re friends and I’m tired of going on this app to talk to him
Ask him then
And see where it goes
But don’t forget you have a bf
What does that have to do with H?
(12:27am)
Idk
Nothing
Everything
Maybe you should also remind him you’re involved with someone else while asking for his phone number
Ugh
But please be careful
I am
Ok

Look at that.
Didn’t strike you for a granola boy!
Just wanted to show you how cool it is to live in a flat with terrace
Also, I like good healthy breakfast.
Good start for the day
(8:40am)
Huh ok.
Wait… you don’t like oatmeal?
Louuuuuuuu
What?
Honestly, you’re missing out
I know.
(8:43am)
Ryley always gives me shit bc I just have a cup of tea for breakfast
Well, he is right
I know, ok
I don’t need another guy in my life teasing me about it.
Oh…
What?
I stroke a nerve, I think
No, Harry
It’s just breakfast
(9:04am)
Hmmm
Ugh I don’t have time for oatmeal discourse today
Wow… ok.
Have a good day, I guess
✌️
(9:05am)
Ugh
I’m sorry
I really had a shit night bc it’s so fucking hot
And I’m exhausted but I still have to go to work
And it’s THURSDAY
(9:36am)
Harry?
Pumpkin?
Come back
Can we start the day again?
(10:01am)
Do you promise you won’t be mean to me?
Yes
Do you want to talk about why you’re so grumpy?
Not really
Ok
(10:03am)
No wait
I told you how I can’t sleep well because of the heat?
Yes
Well, I also sleep better when Ryley is here.
And as you know, he wasn’t.
Oh poor sad boy 😢
Harry
Sorry Lou..
I wasn’t mocking you.
(10:06am)
You’re just cute when you’re in love
(10:13am)
Am not.
Yet.
Ni 🙄☘️
(10:13am)
LARRY IS MAYBE NOT TOTALLY DEAD
Wtf Harry?
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(10:14am)
Oh sorry for assuming
I mean, it’s a good assumption lol
You’ve been dating for what? 6 weeks?
Yeah, will be 2 months in two weeks.
Makes sense you’re not there yet
Yeah
(10:16am)
But also… how would I know?
Not like I’ve already been in love
Honestly?
I’ve never been either
(10:19am)
Anyway
I’m sorry again for my mood earlier
Talking to you made me feel better :)
Ni 🙄☘️
(10:20am)
He’s too cute and he’s NOT in love with his boyfriend
Ugh not again 😩😩
I’m not doing anything
Just stating facts
Yeah right
I see your heart eyes even through the phone, mate
You can’t understand anyway 🖕🏻
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(10:21am)
Good to hear!!!
Don’t be too proud of yourself
I’m not (maybe I am)
Also…
I wanted to ask you something
Yeah?
(10:23am)
Would you give me your phone number
Just so we text outside of this hell app?
Ni 🙄☘️
(10:23am)
Hdirhjgkk
He
Wants
To
Chat
On iMessage
Oh
My
God
Why are you always texting me updates?
As if I care.
You care bc you love me
Ok maybe
(10:26am)
But boo, I think you’re getting way over your head with this guy
I know
But I can’t stop myself
Well, maybe try a bit harder?
Very easy to say when you don’t know the guy.
(10:28am)
He’s got a boyfriend, H.
He showed me his collarbone last night!!!!
You’re gonna end up hurt again
Remember Brad?
He was just a hookup
Yeah right.
And then you cried for a day when he told you you had to stop hooking up.
Very hookup behaviour that
(10:31am)
Oh fuck off
Your chat with H @cellrryZ
(10:53am)
Haz?
Was it too much?
(10:58am)
Ok. Forget it.
(11:15am)

No problem, H!
I’m heading out to work anyway.
Have a good shift!
(11:16am)
Good day to you too, pumpkin!
