Caleb
What do you mean THAT Caleb?
Skye
Skye
It means I’m the biggest idiot in the world. Can you just forget this ever happened?
Skye
Skye
Pretend I never texted, ok?
Caleb
Caleb
What’s going on?
Caleb
Caleb
I’m not even going to get an explanation?
Caleb
Caleb
I’m guessing from your reaction I know you…
Skye
Skye
You do.
Caleb
Caleb
She speaks! All right, we’re getting somewhere. How do I know you?
Skye
Skye
It doesn’t matter.
Caleb
Caleb
It does to me.
Skye
Skye
Please just drop it.
Caleb
Caleb
I can’t. You have to tell me.
Caleb
Caleb
If you don’t, this is going to be all I think about.
Caleb
Caleb
Do you really want to be the one responsible for my lack of productivity at work tomorrow?
Caleb
Caleb
Wait, is that it? Do we work together?
Skye
Skye
No.
Caleb
Caleb
Okay, then. Did we go out?
Caleb
Caleb
Sister’s best friend?
Caleb
Caleb
Woman who cuts my hair?
Caleb
Caleb
Neighbor who screams about my music?
Skye
Skye
None of the above.
Caleb
Caleb
Then what?
Caleb
Caleb
Ex-girlfriend?
Skye
Skye
Sort of.
Caleb
Caleb
Wait, what!? Are you serious?
Skye
Skye
Calm down. I don’t mean yours.
Caleb
Caleb
Then what do you mean?
Skye
Skye
Caleb, it’s Skye.
Caleb
Caleb
Skye
Skye
Yep. See — you’ve lost your words.
Caleb
Caleb
It’s not that. I just…wasn’t expecting it to be you.
Skye
Skye
I guess it’s not every day you wind up sexting your ex-roommate’s ex-girlfriend.
Caleb
Caleb
Technically, we didn’t quite get to the sext part. I think we hovered around it. 😉
Skye
Skye
Because that makes it so much better.
Caleb
Caleb
Honestly, it doesn’t make a difference.
Caleb
Caleb
I don’t see the problem. You and Scott haven’t been a couple since…what?
Caleb
Caleb
Four months after college?
Caleb
Caleb
This really isn’t that big of a deal.
Skye
Skye
Yeah, it is.
Caleb
Caleb
Trust me, it’s not.
Skye
Skye
Think about it, Caleb.
Caleb
Caleb
I did, and I don’t get what the issue is. What am I missing?
Skye
Skye
Oh, I don’t know….
Skye
Skye
Maybe the fact that I wound up texting you when I was trying to reach him.
Caleb
Caleb
Obviously.
Skye
Skye
Then obviously, you know that he was the one who had me bent over the podium at the reunion 🙈
Skye
Skye
Like that’s not awkward or anything.
Caleb
Caleb
You didn’t mention anything about a podium 😉
Skye
Skye
You’re really not helping things.
Caleb
Caleb
Okay, sorry. But, so what?
Caleb
Caleb
You slept with him, you did things with him, you…who cares?
Caleb
Caleb
You think I’ve been sitting home all virginal these past few years?
Caleb
Caleb
Or even these past few weeks?
Skye
Skye
It’s not about having sex. It’s about the guy I had sex *with.*
Caleb
Caleb
Okay…so you had sex with Scott. What’s your point?
Skye
Skye
Scott, as in your roommate throughout college—
Skye
Skye
Had sex with me, Skye, as in the girl you…
Caleb
Caleb
The girl I?
Skye
Skye
I know you didn’t forget.
Caleb
Caleb
Forget what?
Skye
Skye
You’re really going to make me say it?
Caleb
Caleb
Say what?
Skye
Skye
I see what you’re doing. Trying to get me to bare it all.
Caleb
Caleb
Baring it all, huh?
Caleb
Caleb
That may bring back a few memories.
Skye
Skye
A few? Who are you kidding?
Skye
Skye
I bet that night was on loop in your mind for days!
Skye
Skye
I saw your face and the way you made a beeline for your room after you saw me.
Caleb
Caleb
Hey! I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.
Skye
Skye
Is that it, huh? How noble.
Caleb
Caleb
It wasn’t like I walked in on you guys on purpose. You were in my living room!
Skye
Skye
Relax, I’m giving you a hard time.
Skye
Skye
I actually thought it was funny.
Skye
Skye
It wasn’t your fault. You got home earlier than we expected.
Skye
Skye
And we were being…reckless.
Skye
Skye
There was no way you’d know you’d come home to find a naked woman straddling your roommate on the couch…
Caleb
Caleb
Back arched and moaning loudly?
Skye
Skye
🙈 Exactly. That doesn’t happen every day.
Caleb
Caleb
Just every third Tuesday.
Skye
Skye
I see you’re catching my drift 😉
Skye
Skye
And I have to say you paint a really nice picture.
Caleb
Caleb
I’ll take the live show again, any day.
Skye
Skye
Then I guess it’s only fitting you got the texts too.
Caleb
Caleb
Ahh, the texts, the perfect encore presentation.
Caleb
Caleb
I was hoping we could get back to those.
Skye
Skye
It’s different now.
Caleb
Caleb
It shouldn’t be. If anything, it should be better.
Caleb
Caleb
You know who I am. I know who you are.
Caleb
Caleb
Now you can really picture me. I did give an accurate description, didn’t I?
Skye
Skye
I will give you that. You’re definitely easy on the eyes.
Skye
Skye
My friends were always begging me to fix them up with you.
Caleb
Caleb
But you never did. Saving me for yourself?
Skye
Skye
Not quite.
Caleb
Caleb
Then how come? Not charming enough?
Skye
Skye
That was never your problem. More like your roommate dumped me.
Skye
Skye
Dealing with his friends didn’t seem like the smartest idea in the world.
Caleb
Caleb
That didn’t stop you from texting me now though, did it? 😉
Skye
Skye
Yeah, by accident.
Caleb
Caleb
A happy accident. But seriously, how did you end up reaching me and not him?
Caleb
Caleb
Your subconscious screaming out?
Skye cringes.
Skye
Skye
You were listed in my contacts as Scott RM. When I typed in his name, I must have clicked on the wrong entry.
Caleb
Caleb
Ouch. My name didn’t even get in there?
Caleb
Caleb
Not even Scott’s Caleb? Or Roommate Caleb?
Caleb
Caleb
Hottest guy on the planet Caleb?
Skye
Skye
Nope. We never texted. I only had your number because Scott gave it to me for emergencies—
Skye
Skye
Our first time texting was today.
Caleb
Caleb
And it was definitely worth the wait 😉
Skye
Skye
Caleb…
Skye shakes her head.
She isn’t seriously considering something with Caleb Hansen, right?
Is she?
Caleb
Caleb
Come on. We used to have great conversations—
Caleb
Caleb
Before AND after the living room encounter.
Caleb
Caleb
If we could get past that, why is this such a big deal?
Skye considers what he says.
Skye
Skye
I guess it’s not.
Caleb
Caleb
I like where this is headed…
Skye
Skye
I mean, it’s not like you and Scott are best buddies.
Skye
Skye
You don’t live together anymore or hang out 24-7.
Caleb
Caleb
We were never best buddies.
Skye
Skye
You know what I mean.
Caleb
Caleb
Skye, there’s something I have to tell you…
Caleb
