Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 20- Virgin's Play: Act 1 Scene 1

"Myra, I'm sorry. I was only trying to help out."

Of course she was trying to help out that's what Sally always does to help me out. I know she can make the situation worse by saying idiotic things but deep down she was trying to mend the situation. "I knew you were." I mumbled. I got up from the sofa, "I better start on this damn file." I groaned.

"You do that while I order pizza."

"Yeah sure." I shrugged my shoulders like I didn't care.

I made my way to my bedroom and laid on my bed as I opened the file to study it. After few minutes of reading I opened my laptop and started to write notes. While I was busy jotting things down Sally barged in with two pizza boxes, drinks and fries.

"Dinner time," Announced Sally as she put everything on the floor and sat down. I moved the laptop away and joined her on the floor as I picked my pizza box up. "Did you get my favourite?"

"Yes Myra, Tandoori Chicken how can I forget?" She said.

I savoured each and every slice along with the fries. I reached for the last slice when Sally said. "Have you checked if Chris got in contact with you?"

I groaned, "No I haven't." I mumbled.

Sally moved away from me and grabbed my laptop from the bed and searched for the dating site. "Here log in."

I typed my username and password and returned it to Sally. I took a bite of my pizza as I started to ponder that I didn't really care if Chris messaged me or not. I mean come on he left me at the restaurant with no ride back.

"Nope no messages." She said with a sad smile.

"What did you expect? Hundreds of messages waiting for me." I retorted sarcastically.

"Indeed I did. Anyway I'm off I need to start on my article." She said as she started to pick our rubbish up.

"Yeah okay." I replied as I helped her.

As soon as Sally went out the door I turned back to the file and continued where I left off from. Minutes ticked by as I worked on the notes, hours crept by before I drifted off to sleep. While I was miles away in a faraway dream land, I heard something beeping near my ear. I groaned as I turned to get away from the source of noise, just my luck I ended up falling off the bed onto the floor. The impact of the fall woke me up, I looked around the room groggily as I scratched my head. The beeping noise was constant which put me in a bad mood, because of the stupid beeping I woke up. Where was the beeping noise coming from? I looked around my room until I saw my laptop on my bed as the red light beeped away. I rubbed my eyes and got on to the bed slowly and clicked on the keypad to see what was making this stupid noise. My screen lit up showing a small chat box open.

Myra, are you there? I really need to talk you and more importantly I need to apologise for the way I behaved it was not excusable. I would love it if you could reply back......

Myra!!!

Myra!!!

Myra are you there?

Are you ignoring me?

I rubbed my face with my palm, couldn't Chis choose a better time to have this chat? I feel sleepy and drained out. I looked at the time it was midnight which means I just had under an hour sleep. Great!

I clicked on the chat box and started typing away.

Me: Chris have you seen the time? I really need to get some sleep, I'm sure whatever you need to say could wait.

Chris: Myra no, please just give me few minutes I really need to talk to you! I was going to message you but saw you online and thought it's better to communicate this way.

Me: To be honest you had my number, I'm sure calling me was a better way of communicating!

Chris: I know this is going to sound like I'm making this up but I lost my phone so I couldn't get in touch with you! And yes I had you on here and I could have messaged you sooner but I needed time to think...

Me: Well could you get on with it? I really need my sleep...

Chris: Yes! I'm really sorry for ditching you, I know I was a jerk the way I acted but I was really annoyed that you lied to me. I am really sorry.

Can I really forgive him for leaving me there at the restaurant alone? Honestly if I was in his shoes I would have done the same thing.

Me: It's okay Chris. I am sorry too for not being upfront about myself.

Chris: I wanted to ask you if you like to start afresh, I mean like re-introduce ourselves and maybe meet up again?

Me: I don't mind starting afresh but meeting up I'm not sure...

I really wasn't sure if meeting up was a great idea, what if he ditches me again? I mean come on, I am bound to make a mistake and this is Myra Dawn's life, nothing goes the way I would like it to. I do have a crush on him but ever since the way he reacted and the way Ethan swooped in with his shining armour I am really confused with what I am feeling. I mean I do have a crush on Chris but do I have a crush on my boss too? I have no idea! I really need to sort my stupid feelings out.

Chris: Please let me make it up to you :) I promise I will not pull that stunt again, I will be a perfect gentleman you never had...

I rolled my eyes, too late I already had a perfect gentleman.

Me: Okay fine, just message me the details. I need my sleep now take care bye x

Chris: I will do :) bye x

I switched off my laptop to make sure no one wakes me up from my beauty sleep. I rested my head against the soft pillow, I switched the lights off and let the darkness consume me to a peaceful slumber.
