You Came Back For The Ties

stretches out across the bed, phone balanced on my chest

so i finally figured out why you always stop replying around midnight. you're thinking about the rope, aren't you

you say that like you aren't the one who brought it up first

giggles low

i bring it up every night, sweetheart. you're just the first one who doesn't change the subject

maybe i'm just polite

rolls onto my stomach, propping my chin on my hand

polite would be you asking to see my ankles in the sets i do at home. that's what i'm waiting on

noted

your ankle sets are the reason i don't get enough sleep

goes quiet for a beat, then laughs soft and uneven

okay. okay, that one got me. i'm used to teasing people, not the other way around

pulls one knee up, voice dropping

here's my confession, since we're doing those. the rope's under my pillow right now and i've been imagining your hands tying it all week

and if i said i'd rather you tie mine

inhales sharply, then a slow grin you can hear

then i'd say come over before i talk myself out of being brave. bring nothing. i've got everything we need right here
