You're in denial. Don't, she'll actually kill me! I haven't told her we talk, I don't want her to think it's weird and feel uncomfortable.

[rosie de la cruz]

You’re just having fun amusing yourself at my expense. Why? Because I’m a girlfriend on enemy territory?

[Deleted]

Honestly, it's a bit of both. I do think it's creepy. No, because you're obviously attractive and you're dating her brother. Imagine Aisha was a dude, and he had a super hot girlfriend-- would you be cool with Tate chatting to her?

[rosie de la cruz]

Maybe growing up in a weird family makes you closer. I’m not into you, sorry! Though the accent’s great. I think she’d understand we’re both very much outsiders, at least. But yes, little side chats would probably be weird. Our secret?

[Deleted]

Too close. I'm not hitting on you, I'm in love with my girlfriend!! Only girl for me!!! I just know how she'll see it. Yeah, she'd get it, but I think she'd still be weirded out. My lips are sealed.

[rosie de la cruz]

Don’t go all Cruel Intentions on me. Uh huh. Might as well just start the rumor we’re hooking up instead. Less weird!

[Deleted]

TOO CLOSE. You sound like you don't believe me? Are you that used to people falling in love with you? I probably would have if I were single, but I'm broken now, I can barely watch porn unless the girl looks vaguely like my gf. It's fine, this is a support group! Support groups are supposed to be anonymous.

[rosie de la cruz]

Any porn images while you’re on it? People just want to fuck me, love is a whole different thing. Looks like she’s got you good. Poor people anonymous.

[Deleted]

Not yet, let me keep looking. Love and lust are pretty close in my world. Yea, I dunno when I became such a pussy, but here we are. Love it!

[rosie de la cruz]

Enjoy your deep dive. Really? I think one is more chemical, the other emotional. Though I don’t think there’s good love without a little bit of lust. It only takes one - how’s she taking the whole distance thing?

[Deleted]

I'm a pro lurker. Aren't emotions chemical reactions? She's not taking it well. I feel bad, I hate it too but I think she kind of blames me... she did a semester here, she's in school, I'm in the one bumming around.

[rosie de la cruz]

Photoshop doesn’t count. I was thinking more physical - those “sparks”, or your face heating up or breath shorting out. We all make our own choices. She can’t entirely blame you for not being able to jump across the pond, school or no school.

[Deleted]

Admit that it's plausible and I'll let it go! You're such a girl. You think? I thought you were gonna give me grief for it.

[rosie de la cruz]

It’s not, and you wouldn’t let it go regardless! I hope you don’t hold grudges in arguments and wield things from the past. Proudly so! And yeah - it’s not like if Tate went to school in California I could just transfer easily and move out there. Plus my family is on this coast. Sometimes logistics become the nightmare.

[Deleted]

Oh god, am I so predictable? You're right, of course. I'll try to drop it. Yeah, but that's cos you've got a good thing going that you can't give up on. I'm not doing anything, I'm just doing shitty jobs, trying desperately to save up enough £££ for a flight to New York to visit. But yeah, family is a big thing. I'd miss my parents... but I'd also love being away from the twins, so it kind of evens out.
