Saturday Midnight
MAYA: James? You awake?
James: Always. What’s up?
MAYA: Nothing, just thinking a lot tonight.
James: Tell me.
MAYA: Idk, it’s just… we have something really good going on here, don't we?
James: Yeah, we do. Why are you asking?
MAYA: Just midnight thoughts lol. I was just thinking about how well we get each other. Like you always know exactly when my mood changes, even just through text.
James: Because you’re my favorite person, MAYA. Of course I notice. That’s just how we are.
MAYA: I know. But it’s more than just being close, right?
James: What do you mean?
MAYA: I mean… baby, isn't it dopamine? Like, is this just some temporary rush, or do we actually love each other? Even if we don’t have a name for what we are?
James: (Typing) Don't call it just dopamine, MAYA. A random rush doesn't feel like this. Talking to you every single night and having you in my life isn't just a chemical phase. It’s just what I do because you belong in my life.
MAYA: But we only really have this little bubble late at night... we keep it strictly right here.
James: It doesn’t matter where or how we talk. It doesn’t change the fact that I want you here. I don't care about labels, I just care about us. Every text, every late night,you’re just part of my day, every day.
MAYA: So I’m not crazy for feeling it?
James: Not at all. I feel it too, every single night. It’s just natural for us to be like this, and you mean everything to me. I’m not letting you go anywhere.
MAYA: I just needed to hear you say it. I don’t need anything else to feel safe with you. I just needed to know we're on the same page.
James: Always. I’m right here, just like always. Go to sleep now, okay? Nothing is going to change how much you mean to me.
MAYA: Goodnight, James.
James: Goodnight, MAYA.
