I didn’t realize I had legitimate competition

like, I knew there were other girls here who think you’re hot, I’ve heard them talking about you (which makes me crazy by the way) but daaaamn

Me:

Are you jealous?

Don’t:

of course I am, you know that

but I’m not surprised

still, I want to go full catfight on her

ugh, does that make me unattractive? Jealousy isn’t sexy

I quirk a brow, thumbing a response.

Me:

There is nothing unattractive about you. Is it wrong that I kind of like you being jealous?

Don’t:

no

I kind of like that you like it

and I’m only jealous to a degree, anyway

Me:

What do you mean?

When I look up, Neve is smirking. She catches my gaze for a moment, then looks away again, ostensibly typing on her laptop—but I know that really, she’s writing a response to me.

Don’t:

I’m only jealous to a point because I know I’m the only one who gets to ride your thigh in the lab

only I get to see you come all over yourself on a video call

only I get to watch you come in your pants while you tell me how crazy I make you

they might call you daddy behind your back

but only I get to be your baby girl

I very nearly growl in a library block of private study pods.

Me:

You’re being a brat. But then again, you know that, don’t you?

Don’t:

you like me bratting, daddy
