Unknown Number
Text this number: xxx-xxx-xxxx
Because you were too scared to ask
Who is this?
Best player in the league
Shane Hollander?
I’m very hurt
No
Is Rozanov
How did you get this number?
Is secret
Very dangerous secret
I know many people(Smiling Face With Horns )
Whose number is that?
I think you know
But you were too scared to ask him
So I asked him for you
Good solution
I don’t know what you are talking about
So you were not looking at the cute bartender
What was his name again?
His name is Kyle
And I was not looking at him
He seems nice
He is
He is attractive
Might be
He is very young
He is not that young
I think you want to fuck Kyle
I do not!
Is okay!
Your wife left you
You are free to do whatever you want 😊
I do not want to fuck Kyle
I barely know him
And the divorce was mutual!
But you are still wearing your wedding ring
Just sentimental!
Mm okay
You should take it off
Why?
Because now Kyle thinks you don’t want to fuck him
I don’t!
You can not fool me Bennett
I saw your gay eyes checking him out
I am not gay
I loved my wife
Ah, bisexual!
This is great!
How did you even know?
I haven’t told anyone
You did not need to
It is very obvious
You’re not like homophobic?
Yes I am homophobic
Huh?
We met at a gay bar Bennett, what do you think
You make a good point
Is okay
You are just a little bit slow
Comes with old age
I am not that old
You are older than Scott Hunter
And his kind has been extinct for a million years
I am 40 years old, not 80
Hmm I don’t see the difference?
Fuck off
Maybe you need the cute bartender to keep you young, yes?
Have a little fun before you retire
I am not retiring
So this is not your last season?
How do you even know that?
I didn’t
Now I do
I haven’t told anyone
Don’t worry
I will not tell
Thanks
But people will guess
Because you are old
Very funny
You will text Kyle?
I don’t think so
Pretty sure he thinks I am too old
Pretty sure he likes that
He kind of rejected me, so
Bennett
What
You are wearing your wedding ring
What does that have to do with it?
Maybe he thinks you are married?
Oh
So I should take it off
I don’t think he will see that through the phone
Maybe just tell him, yes?
What would I even say?
I understand
Is very hard to say ‘I am not married’
That could work
Okay good luck
Thanks
Kyle
Hi, this is Eric Bennett
I got this number from some weird Russian man who told me to tell you I am definitely not married
Would you reconsider coming with me to the gallery tomorrow?
Maybe go to Córdoba Bakery afterwards?
Hello Eric Bennett
Not married, huh?
Divorced for a year actually
No wife waiting back home to do intensive yoga with?
Definitely not
Okay then
If you buy me those empanadas
Wait, can I eat meat in front of you?
Never mind
I can get the vegetarian ones
Probably not better than sex, but still good
Yes, you can eat meat in front of me
Oh
So I will see you tomorrow?
Yes!
I’m excited to see the paintings
Only the paintings?
Maybe also this one divorced guy
Sounds enthusiastic
Very
Rozanov
He said yes
”Thank you Rozanov for helping me get the number of this bartender I like very very much and blushed every time I saw him”
You are very welcome Bennett
I expect an invite to the wedding
”Ofcourse, you will be my best man!!”
Wow, it would be my honor
You are weirder than I thought
I think you meant to say
”I will see you at the wedding”
Wow, wedding? That is very quick Bennett, maybe get laid first
