I checked my phone's Lock Screen for the millionth time tonight, but no message or call.

It was just Bec and I this evening, so I cooked spaghetti and we binged a few movies.
"Expecting a text?" She asked, attempting to peek at my phone.

"Nope."

"You sure there's not a girl?"

"I'm sure. How's Abraham Lincoln?"

She rolled her eyes at the nickname. "We haven't properly talked, but he liked my Instagram last night."

"Oh wow it's getting serious." I joked. "He practically proposed."

"Shut up, you."

It was nine-twenty when my phone finally beeped.
*Hey, I'm home now.*

"Is that your secret girlfriend?"

I wish. "Nope, it's Camila. I'll be right back."

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while I texted her back.
*Hey, how did it go?*

*good.*

No context? Just good? Was it so good that she doesn't want to tell me or so bad that all she can say is 'good'.
My fingers typed a few different replies, 'cool', 'nice', 'what happened', but eventually ended with-
*good.*

*what you up to?*

*movies with Bec*

*Cool.*

*Wanna call?*

*sure.*

"Hey." I balanced the phone in between my ear and shoulders as I filled a glass with water.

"Hey." She exhaled. "Why'd you wanna call?"

"I don't know, just wanted to talk to you."
I took my drink and went to my room, sitting on the bed.

"Oh, okay."

"How was the movie?"

"It was um- good." Her voice cracked but she covered it with a cough.

"Did something happen?"

"Well... we kissed."

"Oh."
Oh. I felt a pit in my stomach, like someone was stabbing my chest. That's why it was 'good'.
