Chapter 5
Amirah
After that intriguing lesson, we finally went to the Nintendo store. Stylan and I were both in heaven . We loved it. I was finally able to get him the pikachu 3DS he had been asking for but was always out of stock. I got myself a huge Bulbasaur because let's face it, next to Pikachu he is the next most adorable. Then we had a nice meal at Chilis. It was a great day really.
Once home, I got Stylan his bath and let him watch cartoons in his bedroom until he fell asleep 20 minutes later. Then I grabbed my laptop and a glass of wine and set up shop in my room. Flipping through the channels, I settled on John Wick 2 and logged into f*******:. I ave a love hate relationship with th site. It's notoriously anti-black but a good way to interact with people from around the world. A new friend request? Donovan Borelli? Upon closer inspection, I gasped. Donnie. He found me rather quickly. I I hesitated a second before clicking accept. Almost immediately i got a message.
Accepted. Good girl. How are you?
I smiled for some reason . Not really sure.
I typed back : I'm ok. A little tired.
He responded almost immediately. He must not be too busy after work.
Donovan:What are you doing?
You:Sipping a little wine and messing around online
Donovan: What kind of wine?
You: A chardonnay
Donovan: You need better wine
You: What do you recommend?
Donovan: A pre-bedtime sip? A reisling.
You: Maybe I will take your advice one day
Donovan: No maybe. You will. Tell me about yourself. What brings you here?
We got into a long chat session about my life and why I am here and then his life and what brought him here. Before I knew it, it was 1 am .
You: OMG I need to go to bed. Stylan will be up at the crack of dawn.
Donovan: Go. Send me a good morning message when you wake up. Good night. Rest well.
You: Ok. Good night.
He sure is a bossy one. I roll my eyes. But I kind of like it.
After a bit I fall fast asleep and get a decent night's rest. I wake in the morning feeling refreshed. As predicted, Sylvan woke up at 6:30 to watch Paw Patrol and have breakfast. I had stayed up a little past my bed time, so I was kind of out of it. I sat at the table looking over information for jobs when my phone pinged. I grabbed it and looked at it. One new message. ' I recall telling you to send me a message so I would know you were up.' Oh. I forgot. about that. He was serious. Creepy, but intriguing. I text him back that I forgot . Then went back to looking at jobs as I had an interview scheduled soon, but didn't want to put my eggs all in one basket.
Phone buzzes again. "Are you always so hard headed?" I laughed loudly at this. "I am." I replied. "We'll fix that. Have a good day. Text me this evening after Stylan is in bed." I sent him an ok and wondered if I really would.
I knew without a doubt that I would.
