Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 9- Chat Box

ME: FYI, PREY = GIRLS... in case you're a retard, I thought I’d help you out

Chris: Yes, I know what you meant, FYI I'm not a retard. You couldn't help yourself could you? You just ruined a normal convo with your stupid remarks. I bet you can't have a normal convo for a good 10 minutes.

ME: Excuse me, I can.

Chris: Yeah, sure you can.

ME: I know your being sarcastic, but I will prove it to you. Starting... now

Chris: Okay fine...you can start off the convo, then :P

ME: Fine, I will.

Think Myra, think. What should I write? Hmmmm... oh I know I could ask him about himself. Yes that is what I will do.

Chris: I am waiting...

Argh! Yes I know you’re waiting Captain Obvious. So what do I want to know about him?

Is he seeing anyone?

How many ex's does he have?

Is he a player?

Does he even know how to treat a lady?

Oh shush brain, I know I have realised I have some feelings towards him, but that doesn't mean I have to take a dive into the deep end and scare him with all these questions.

Chris: Tick Tock....

I rolled my eyes at his response. Think Myra....

Me: So Chris, Where do you work?

Chris: I work as a P.A at X-SPORT Organization

If he is talking about the X-SPORT magazine industry, that means he lives in my city. I gasped at the realization, if he lives in the same city, we could bump into each other, or maybe I have already seen him before all this. Imagine if he's the guy next door, or a guy who lives a street away from me. I seriously need to calm down. I took a deep breath and started to type again to clarify my doubt.

ME: You mean the X-SPORT magazine or...

Chris: Yes the magazine one, Wbu?

I gulped at the response. Great, he lives in my city. I don't know why, but I feel nervous and happy about this.

Oh no, I don't want to tell him I work at a library. He would just take me as some boring girl working at an old tedious library. I'm sure a small lie wouldn't really hurt. So what can I say I work as? A spy agent? No, that would lead to too many questions, but I would make an awesome spy agent. I smiled to myself. Keep it simple and think quickly before Chris starts to get suspicious.

ME: I work in a cafe

CAFE?? I really had to write that? As if that is anything exciting

Chris: Oh really? which cafe?

I really don't want him to know we live in the same city so I thought why not just mention a well known cafe that is franchised in most cities.

Me: Starbucks

Chris: Oh great :) I hope I get a free coffee, anyways I need to go now, I have some work to catch up on. Talk to you later bye.

Me: Bye :)

I instantly felt lonely and upset, like the happiness was sucked out of me. Why am I feeling like this? I need to get a grip.

I shut my laptop and looked around my bedroom. What should I do now? I still had a thumping headache so I decided to go back to sleep, I got comfortable in my bed and dozed off.
