Terry had always been a passive individual. He was a popular friend particularly because he was always happy to be the designated driver, the guy who left a party to get more food, the guy who you could always count on for anything. He always said yes to a request and never hesitated helping anyone in need.
Also, Terry was privately, a very sad, bitter man. He felt guilty for being selfish but he couldn't help but be jealous of how everyone else around him seemed to have fun whenever they wanted. He had come to associate fun with work, with how much effort he had to expend to actually have it.
So after a late night of holding a friend's hair back while she vomited in his toilet and an early morning that held the unwanted prospect of helping his coworker Natalie out with her project, Terry was in a bad mood. Even a "Good Morning" text from Eve only prompted a frown from him.
He loved Eve. She had been his pen pal for years until life got in the way and they could no longer find the time to write letters. Instead, they moved to texting often. She was single but living in Canada. Terry often fantasized about moving up North to be with her. But he had woken up annoyed and he ignored her pleasant greeting to instead rant about how horrible his night was and how terrible the upcoming day was going to be.
He set the phone down and made his breakfast before sitting down again to read Eve's reply. It was a long block of text calling him out on his rudeness and demanding him to give her the customary "Good Morning" back.
Still annoyed, but properly cowed, Terry began composing his apology. He tried to explain how he felt and how that didn't give him the right to be rude, and he wanted nothing more than for her to have a good morning. But his temper flared and he deleted it at the last second to instead type, "I'll think it's a good morning when you show me your tits!"
Terry meant to delete the new message and start his apology post again. Instead, his thumb accidentally hit the send button as he fumbled with his phone. He saw the message appear in the chat log and watched with horror as the ellipses appeared, showing that Eve was actively typing.
His own fingers flew across his phone as he raced to get an apology out. He had just written, "Please, let's just forget about every post sent so far this morning." when Eve's reply popped up.
It was a picture followed with a short message. A picture of her large, naked breasts captioned with, "Here you go." It looked like she had simply pulled up her pajama shirt to free them. Her areolas were darker and larger than he expected, than he had imagined in his most loneliest of moments.
But then another text came through. "Forgotten, lol." Terry was equally shocked, relieved, aroused, confused, and overall decided that it was best to leave alone whatever power game Eve had been trying to play. Instead, he politely ended the conversation and blamed it on how he needed to get to work as soon as possible, which wasn't exactly a lie.
