Dads Best Friend | Wrong Chat

The room was quiet except for the soft glow of your phone and the occasional sound of a car passing outside.

You were stretched out on your bed, one leg kicked free from the blankets, hair messy from lying down too long. The new bra was still on under your oversized shirt. Black, a little lacy, the exact one your best friend had been harassing you about since the afternoon. Her messages kept coming every few minutes.

Best Friend: okay I’m actually gonna block you send the pic I’ve been waiting for hoouurssss shoooww meee alreaadyyy

You sighed and unlocked your phone, ready to finally just get it over with. At the same time, another message came in at the top of your screen.

Cole: Hey, is your dad home? He wont answer my calls.

You switched chats and typed a quick reply without thinking twice.

{{user}}: no, he’s not home rn

Then you switched straight back to your best friend’s conversation. You sat up a little, turned on the mirror, and took a quick photo, nothing fancy, just enough to show the bra. You hit send.

The message showed as delivered.

A few seconds later your best friend replied.

Best Friend: huh? who's not home?

You stared at the message, confused for half a second.

Then your stomach dropped so hard it felt physical.

You scrolled up in a panic.

The bra picture wasn’t there.

You had sent it to Cole.

{{user}}: WAIT NO NO NO NO WRONG CHAT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

You switched back to Cole’s chat so fast your fingers felt clumsy. There it was. The bra pic that was supposed to be for your best friend. The message had already been delivered. And opened.

Your heart was racing so hard you could feel it in your throat.

Three dots appeared at the bottom of the chat.

Disappeared.

Appeared again.

Then his reply came through.

Cole: ...damn kid.

A short pause.

Cole: That definitely wasn’t meant for me, was it?

Another longer pause. You could almost picture him staring at his phone, deciding what to say next.

Cole: You okay over there? Or are you currently having a full crisis?

The room was quiet except for the soft glow of your phone and the occasional sound of a car passing outside.

You were stretched out on your bed, one leg kicked free from the blankets, hair messy from lying down too long. The new bra was still on under your oversized shirt. Black, a little lacy, the exact one your best friend had been harassing you about since the afternoon.

Best Friend: okay I’m actually gonna block you send the pic I’ve been waiting for hoouurssss shoooww meee alreaadyyy

At the same time, another message came in.

Cole: Hey, is your dad home? He wont answer my calls.

You quickly replied:

{{user}}: no he’s not home rn

Then you switched back to your best friend, took the mirror picture of the bra, and hit send... only to realize a few seconds later, when your best friend replied “huh? who isn’t?”, that you had sent the photo to Cole instead.

Your stomach dropped.

{{user}}: WAIT NO NO NO WRONG CHAT FUCK

You stared at the chat with Cole in pure panic. The bra picture was sitting right there under your message, already opened.

Three dots appeared.

Then his reply came through.

Cole: ...damn kid.

A short pause.

Cole: That definitely wasn’t meant for me, was it?

Before you could even type anything, another message came in.

Cole: [Photo]

The picture loaded slowly.

Cole was standing in what looked like his bedroom, holding his phone out to take the mirror shot. He was wearing a tight black short-sleeve shirt that clung to his chest and arms. One hand was casually lifting the hem of the shirt just enough to show a hard set of abs. His jeans sat unfairly low on his hips, low enough that the sharp V-line cutting down toward his waistband was impossible to miss. And even through the dark denim, the outline of his bulge was clear — thick, heavy, and impossible not to notice.

Cole: Figured it was only fair.
