Lisa couldn’t help but be nervous after she sent the message. Even though she knew he was at work, she would check the computer about once an hour. She felt like a silly teen girl waiting by the phone for her crush to call, which…wasn’t exactly the case. Well, it wasn’t the whole case at least. Lisa decided to distract herself by having a movie marathon as she found any little cleaning project to do in her small cabin home on the far outskirts of the city. She always cleaned when she was nervous or just didn’t know what to feel. As the extended edition of the second Hobbit movie draws to a close she hears her laptop ding letting her know she had a message. Lisa gets up from her bed and goes to her desk. A smile appearing on her face as she reads his message. She waits to respond for another good five minutes to at least give the illusion that she had a life. Besides she had no clue how to greet him, she couldn’t exactly say nice to meet you, obviously for a reason only she knew. 

“Hi Cisco. Thank you for your response. No worries there, my whole problem is I always hold back so that plan sounds pretty comfortable from my end. Honestly there isn’t much to know about me. Just put most of the songs from Kelly Clarkson and Linkin Park together and that’s me. But anyway, how are you doing today?”

She hits enter and then as her nervousness settles she re-reads what she had written. “Thank you for your response? What am I a freaking robot? I really don’t have much skill at social interaction.” Lisa says to herself with a laugh and a shake of her head as she looks around at her lonely residence.  

A notification popped up on Cisco’s phone and when he saw it was from Julie, his face lit up. He paused his movie and focused his attention on the phone. 
“I’m alright. Long day at work’s got me super tired. Just lying around watching LOTR, though. wbu?”

Cisco felt his stomach flutter. Why was he getting excited about talking to someone from this site? He had listerally just met the woman, but not even in person. Many people had messaged him before, but nothing ever came form it. Who’s to say this isn’t going to turn out the same? 

HE set his phone down on his chest and turned his attention back to the movie.
