my eyes widened. i read it a few times to make sure i wasn't seeing things. that was really a number that he wrote on my hand. i was giddy the rest of the work day. im gonna test this number later on tonight.

later on that day....

i was sitting in my office when i got a text. since i dont do a whole lot of work and just come here cause i be lonely at home while the baby is in day care and rhode is at work, i put my feet up on the desk in my suit and pulled out my phone.

tyki: i did it

i raised a brow. tyki never talks to me. i honestly didnt know how he got my number but whatever. im not doing anything right now so i dont have a reason not to talk to him.

me: did what?

tyki: i took your advice and did it. i gave him my number

ooohhhh! the guy he was telling me about on my birthday. now i know where we are in this conversation.

me: what did he say?

tyki: im trying not to be weird but....wrote it on his hand. im waiting for him to text me

me: how did you get the opportunity?

tyki: caught him ogling me through my accidentally (winking emoji) cracked open door. we chatted about some unimportant things and he fixed my A/C, which gave me the opportunity to check him out and oh boy is he sexy up close. i made it seem like i was on my phone the whole time

me: what would happen if he did text you?

it was a few minutes before he texted back.

tyki: that's a good question. i dont really know how this would work

me: figure out a place to mess around at. like a hotel/motel.

tyki: that sounds fine and all but how do i do it without drawing attention?

me: you get the room cause he probably wouldn't be able to afford it. slip him the room key and tell him where it is via text while you both are at work. it wont look weird if you guys have casual conversation at work, right? then come up with a time to meet up

tyki: ....ill probably have to wear a disguise

me: if only to make sure this is on the low. make sure you let him know that you arent looking for more than sex right now. you dont want to get to close to a fan and end up with a stalker

tyki: he texted me!

me: ttyl. tell me what happens. i have a meeting to go to

tyki: ttyl

i sighed. even dl people are getting more play than i am. i....i seriously have been considering lowering my standards. i shook my head vehemently. i deserve to be treated like a human and a man. not just some old guy who has loads of money. i deserve love too. i just have to be patient. love will come to me eventually. i hope.

me: im guessing this number wasn't an accident

tyki: cant say im open about it. i went with the subtle approach
