WRONG NUMBER.

Chapter 1.
Pain is only temporary they say, they forget to add that some can actually kill in that small amount of time. It's almost 2 Am and I am still rolling around in my bed irrespective of the fact that I am going to work tomorrow. I closed my eyes and tried to slow my heartbeat hoping it will make me sleep but nothing seems to be helping, the only thing I feel is the excruciating pain I feel with every heartbeat. I hit my chest so hard hoping the physical pain will overrule the emotional pain but it didn't, I stood up from the bed and went and grabbed a glass of water. Everywhere is so quiet, I used to live with my best friend Jessica but she got married last month and I was also expecting to finally tie the knot with my prince charming, gosh we have been dating for 3 years. I keep searching my head trying to think what I did wrong, I have never cheated, he was the one that took my virginity, I have never requested for money I have always been a girl that love being independent. The more I think of it the more my heart hurts, I remembered what I heard on the radio last week, to always talk about your pain and hurt with someone, even if he or she didn't give you a solution, talking about it helps. So, I took up my phone and decided to text Jessica, I am by nature a text freak also I didn't want to disturb her sleep, she is a deep sleeper I just want to type out my feelings and wishes and also pains.
I haven't saved her number on this my new phone, but no worries I memories it a long time ago.

*I have wished a thousand times for it to be a dream*.
*I keep thinking, what did I do wrong*
*Tell me that if I close my eyes and go to sleep that he will be mine when I wake up tomorrow*
*I have loved him all my life and I still do*
*I have always pretended to be a strong woman, but deep down I cry behind closed doors, I know it will come as a shock to you*
* It's so much easier talking to you Jessica while you sleep*
*Do you think I made a mistake by accepting Josh instead of Charles*
*I couldn't help it, he has the most amazing dimples*
*I know I never told you but I had one abortion for him* I texted and regretted instantly, maybe I am going too far, nobody knows about this I should've kept my mouth shut but I am in so much pain.
*I am in so much pain*
I cried more as I text Jessica my feelings, I know she will be on a frenzy when she sees it tomorrow, by then my brave face will be on.
*Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, for lives greatest lessons are learned through pain* Jessica replied and it shocked the hell out of me.
You might wonder why it surprised me, I wasn't surprised that she woke up to reply to my texts, though Jessica loves her sleep and hardly sacrifices her sleep for anything. I wasn't surprised that she suddenly became wise and sent me a quote, she is a simple girl that can't even remember the simplest quote like cleanliness is second to godliness. I am surprised that she quoted my best Nagato words from Naruto and she has never seen an episode of Naruto.
*Did you just quote Nagato* I asked to know if it was just a coincidence.
*I am surprised you know where it's from* she replied.
*of course I do, I am Naruto's number one fan* I replied wiping my tears, slowly I am more interested in Jessica's sudden interest in my favorite anime, than my painful heart.
*Then clearly, you haven't met me* she replied, met you? Girl I practically lived with you for 10 years.
*You can't be serious Jess, I have known you half of my life and you haven't even seen a single episode of Naruto.* She doesn't even know the difference between Naruto and Sasuke.
*My Bad, I forgot to tell you I am not Jessica your friend, it's a Wrong Number* the texter said and I froze, did I just confessed my deepest secret to a total stranger.

Chapter 2
This the greatest joke of the century, thinking about it made me crack up the laugh I never knew I still had.
*Come on Jess, be serious* I texted waiting for her reaction
*I'm serious I am not your friend* she replied making me take a more serious feature.
*Are you telling me I no longer know your number* I sent.
*check the number, you might be surprised* she replied.
I then viewed the number and was shocked to discover I got one number wrong, I covered my lips with my palm as I felt like a fool.
*Why didn't you tell me the first time you received the text* I asked already tapping my feet, its a habit I have when I am anxious.
*Wanted to, but the text was coming in too fast so I decided to entertain myself with it* she said and it got me angry, so my heartbreak text was a means of entertainment for this unknown person. Now I don't even know if it's a she or he.
*That is rude, you just saw my misery as your entertainment* I sent
*Not my fault, you might be a fifty years old woman bored with her marriage life looking for a young boy to suck on* I gasped did he just called me an old hag.
*If you thought it was all an act to get a fresh blood, why did you bother quoting Nagato?* I asked.
*Because I have always wanted to say it to someone, you just gave me the opportunity I couldn't just let it pass* she replied. I am choosing to believe it's a girl, at least that way she can understand me better.
*It is official, you are a teenager that can't even earn a boyfriend* I texted hoping she will be hurt, for some reason I want to mock her.
*FYI I am not a girl neither am I a teenager and looking at the fact you couldn't keep your boyfriend, your words are for you* He texted and my eyes widened.
It's a man and from his text, he is not a gentle one, my luck is really the worst.
*Now I know, you are a forty years old man still leaving with his parents and jerks off every night* I have never wanted to mock someone as much as I want to mock the unknown person. I feel like I will be better if I get to successfully mock him, that my heartbreak can be transferred to him, I know it is bad of me.
*You can say what you want old hag* he replied. Does that mean I was right, I stood up and went to my bed.
*I hope you forget everything I told you?* I texted hoping he won't use it to threaten me.
*I won't, I am even thinking of using it against you* He texted and I instantly sat up.
*How do you mean?* I asked already tapping my feet.
*Like you said I am an old man that only jerks off in my parents' house, do you think I would miss the opportunity of getting laid?* he texted.
*What are you saying* I asked though I know what he is driving at.
*I would like us to meet and have one night stand* he replied so bluntly and it disgusted me as much as it shocked me.
*Won't happen* I said already thinking of blocking him.
*I know you are thinking of blocking me, but before you do that do remember there is an app called true caller, though I couldn't see your face because you didn't upload your picture but I now know your name* he replied and I nearly fainted, God why me.
*That doesn't matter, I will still block you* I said still determined.
*Ok, I will just find you in WhatsApp or anything or anyhow possible, once I get your picture I will screenshot your text to me with your picture and make it go viral* He said and I instantly went and remove my profile picture from my WhatsApp, I hope I was fast enough. Since this my number is not connected to my Facebook account so I know he can't find me there, he now knows my name but there are hundreds of Rose on Facebook.
*I can track you down as well you know?* I said hoping to threaten him too.
*This my number is not registered in any social platform so good luck with that* He replied and he was right, even true caller didn't show his name.
Earlier tonight I was heartbroken now I am scared that my name will be sullied by the public, can I stand the disgrace, what will my religious mother think.
*How will I trust you won't request for more after the one night* I texted.
*You just have to trust me* He replied and I scoffed, like it's possible.
*Too bad I don't, do what you must and I promise to track you down and end your life, at least once you upload it online, you can be tracked down* I said hoping he believes it. Truthfully I have no idea what to do if it goes viral except cry and nurses my broken heart.
*You are right, though I know you can't do anything I also have a reputation to uphold. So, I will give you an option* he replied and I wonder the reputation a jerk like him has.
*what is the option?* I asked hoping it will be favorable.
*it doesn't involve sex or nude or anything perverted at least, so promise me you will say yes to what I am about to ask* he said and I got worried, but since he said it is nothing perverted.
*Ok, I promise* I guess it will be better than having one nightstand. I dropped my phone and eagerly wait for his text to come in, I closed my eyes as I felt the phone vibrated, I picked it to see what the option is only to be shocked beyond reasons for the third time this night.

Chapter 3
*It hurts now but I know it won't hurt forever, I cry now but I know one day I will look back and be glad it ended. Thank you for the good times and be good to your next girl, you know karma is real. Send this message to the guy that broke your heart* he texted and I can't believe the content. It's a good message but reminding him of Karma means I am telling him he will get his retribution.
*Did it ever occurred to you that I want him back* I asked.
*It did, that's why it's better to send him the text, he will now know you're working on moving on and that he will get his retribution. The text might make him come back faster if he really wants to come back* he said and I thought about it.
*You are right, but before he broke up with me I have already started hearing rumours about him and another girl, so he is not prepared to return* I said and I can't believe I am having a normal conversation with a stranger.
*Then let him live with the Karma* he said.
*I can't send it, I am afraid it will destroy the only chance I have* I texted as my eyes began to well up.
*I could've texted a more rugged text of you insulting him, but I know it will be a lie and that this one I sent will suit your personality more* He said and it's surprisingly true.
*I still won't send it* I am afraid.
*You're a Naruto fan and you know Naruto never goes back on his words. You promised so I'm hoping you too won't go back on your promise* He said and I had to roll my eyes.
*You're such a smooth talker* I sent then also did what he requested in one breath.
*I get that a lot* he replied and I smiled, it's been a while I did that.
*I have sent it* I said.
*Atta girl*
*You know I could be lying* I stated
*Yea, you could but I' m deciding to trust you* he said and it warmed my heart that a stranger trusts me while my 3 years boyfriend always believes outsiders instead of me. Maybe this breakup is a good thing, and just like this stranger said, I will look back and be happy it happened.
*So what is your name?* I asked since it is only normal to know who you're chatting with.
*I am not saying since you never officially introduced yourself* he replied. How weird, males are always eager to tell a girl their name.
*Well I am Rose as you already know, so what about you* I asked.
*Still not telling you* he said so he is stubborn.
*I guess I should save your name with Jerker* I said and giggled at the thought.
*It is your phone not mine* He said and he has a point, I will have to explain it if someone sees it.
*How about 40 years old hobo* I said.
*too long* he replied and I nodded in agreement.
*Mysterio* I texted and it sounded so right, I think it's a Spanish word for mystery.
*Ahhh, I'm now your mystery guy, kinky* he replied and I laughed.
*Well, it suits you* I replied then looked at the time it's almost 4 am. I have to try sleep so I can wake on time tomorrow, besides my airtime is running low.
*I wonder why you want to save my number when in reality we might not chat again* he texted and it saddens me but it is true, I don't see what we would talk about in the future.
*You're right, I can't stand your annoying nature* I texted.
*Keep telling yourself that* he texted.
*I have to go to bed, bye and thank you for the wonderful time* I texted.
*You're welcome* He replied and I saved his number irrespective of what he said earlier.
I am glad I got his number and not a total weirdo, I'm even glad I confessed my greatest secret to him and not Jess, saying it out helped my broken heart. I know I called him an old man living with his parents but that might be wrong, he might be a successful man with a family that understands the matters of the heart, I am already jealous of his wife.
I closed my eyes to sleep and lucky I did fall asleep, thanks to Mysterio.

Chapter 4
"Hope you're alright?" Jess asked.
I am currently with her, our friendship started from our secondary school and we got admission in the same university, we are closer than blood sisters. She is older than me with a year, I am 26 years old and hoping to get married very soon just like her, I guess God has something else in store for me.
"I am fine" I said as I took a sip from the juice she offered. I guess no need tell her about the wrong number or telling her about the deepest secret.
"I will visit him and give him a piece of my mind." she said with a dead serious look. Knowing Jess she will do it unless I stop her.
"No need, I am already moving on, I guess I will have to focus on work, we have a new product so we're thinking of the best way to market it and make people buy it." I said.
There is a rumour currently going around in the company that the CEO is coming to our branch to supervise it since the company is lagging behind, so I need to put up my best behaviour to avoid being sacked.
"That is good, escort me to the market, its been ages we did that and it's weekend you don't have any work to do." She requested making me smile, I have always been better at beating down the price than her so I nodded and it made her happy.
"Let me go dress up. She said and left. I took the time to admire the enlarge picture of her wedding, I was her chief bridesmaid, I thought mine will be soon too.
"All set, let's go." she said as she came out looking beautiful.
"Alright" I said and we both left the house.
It's been two weeks now since I broke up and I am healing faster than usual the only downside is having no one to talk to. I always love texting especially my boyfriend now he is not in my life it made me realise I have no friend, I can't always be chatting Jess, she doesn't even like chatting. I took a deep breath as I scroll the contact on my phone to know if I can see who to lift my boredom away, though I am in the office we actually have nothing to do. I am in the marketing department we hardly do anything in the office our field is outside marketing new product or old ones and convincing new customers, so office is always boring to me. I kept scrolling till I reach Mysterio, maybe I should text him but it's still 1 pm so he will be at work and I will just be a nuisance to him. I dropped my phone and started playing Zuma but it wasn't much of entertainment. I could log in to my Facebook and start replying the messages from my numerous admirers but I am not up for it, I need someone that knows me in a different type of level, like Mysterio. I stared at my phone trying to resist the temptation but failed since I couldn't stop myself from picking it.
*If you don't like your destiny don't accept it, instead have the courage to change it the way you want it to be* I sent then dropped the phone as I eagerly waited for his reply. After 10 minutes of no reply, I decided to take my mind off it, I guess I should stop expecting such things, after all, I waited an entire week for my boyfriend to reply my text but he didn't
My intercom rang taking my mind of the sad thoughts.
"Come to my office, it's Mr. Akin," he said and the line went dead, he is the marketing departmental head, so my superior. He has always been strictly business unlike many of the men that want to get under my skirt.
I locked my office leaving my phone to go know why he is calling me, it didn't take me long to get to his office. Though the building is big his office is not far from mine, we the marketing department are close to each other.
I knocked before coming in, he was drinking the new product, I guess I am not the only one that loves it. We are a juice company, Juvango fruit juice company, it is really a big successful company with branches all over the country and outside too. They pay well and I started working here about a year ago and I consider myself lucky considering the competition of getting in.
"Good afternoon sir" I greeted and he offered me to sit down.
"The new product is good right?" he asked the obvious and I nodded. I wonder what they are still waiting to bring it to the market.
"The marketing will start by next week when the CEO comes, he also wants to use a superstar to advertise the product to create more awareness." he said and I nodded though I don't see the need of advertising it. The company is already a household name that no longer needs to seek attention, but I am not the boss so I have to say yes to whatever they say.
"I will make you the head of the marketing team, also find a way to balance the new product with the old product so people won't forget the old products." I nodded.
The new product is not like normal fruit juice, it has caffeine to boost consumers energy so it's not good to drink it like other products. And it's better to mix it with wine in order not to get drunk easily.
"Thanks, I am prepared whenever the times comes." I said before he asked me to leave, I am glad for the new product because the stress will keep my mind off things.
I came inside my office to continue my game, after playing for like 20 minutes, I got tired and decided to check the time, I was surprised to see a message from Mysterio
He sent it 30 minutes ago, that is when I was in Mr. Akin's office, I opened it to read the content.
*Seriously? Sending me a Naruto quote by this time, also why the quote* he said and I smiled.
*I am just letting you know you can fight your destiny of living in your parent's apartment* I tested and chuckled.
*I am literally shaking my head right now as I think of how bored you're to chat me up* He tested.
*I am not bored, I just want to advice you* I texted still smiling. I guess I should stop being pessimistic, he chatted me up after all.

Chapter 5
*Your kind gesture warms my heart, really* he said and I giggled.
*People have always said I am a good girl* I sent. We kept texting that I forgot that I am actually texting with airtime. I was disappointed when my text refused to send indicated that I no longer have airtime.
"Damn" I cursed under my breath. I checked the time and it still remains an hour to closure I then decided to round up and go home.
*Hope you are still alive* I received a text from him and I smiled, though the text sounded absorbed it still made me smile and eager to reply too bad I have no airtime. I hurried on my way way so I will be able to recharge and continue our chat, if only he's on WhatsApp or even Facebook.
*Seriously are you still alive?* well I don't blame him, with the pace I was replying it's normal for him to think that something is wrong since I haven't replied him. After getting home I quickly recharged my phone, I stopped using bank recharge when it made me use up my savings.
*Now who is missing who* I quickly texted him, I smiled at the thought of him missing me.
*I was just looking out for you, I thought you might be lonely and thinking of suicide, "You know the pain of loneliness is out of this world"* he quoted Naruto again and I giggled.
*I wasn't lonely, my airtime just got exhausted*
*Oh, I never thought of that*
Come to think of it is he not bothered about his airtime, well maybe he has no one to use it on, after all he does is play game.
*I know you rather play game all through the day, how about you open up WhatsApp at least it will be easier to chat with you and also save my airtime* I texted and then started preparing what to cook for dinner.
*Why do I feel like you are wooing me* I laughed as I saw his text.
*Woo you? A forty years old virgin that still lives with his parents* I already picture him as that, at least in that way I can freely chat with him.
*Not to brag, I am way more handsome than any of your celebrity crush*
*Well I don't have, so it doesn't count and the fact you are praising yourself means you are not handsome*
*Suit yourself and I am not opening any social platform, ha* is he trying to be annoying.
*I will make you, wait and see*
*You are welcome to try* did he just dared me, I will get back at him.
*Wait for me, I want to fix something to eat, I will get back to you* I texted as I opened up the fridge and brought out a container that contains cooked meats, I want to prepare egusi soup.
*Alright, I wonder how awful it will taste* he texted and I smiled but didn't reply.
I wonder why I am so free with him, maybe it's because I have already told him my deepest secret, so to him am naked with nothing to hide.
It took me more than 1 hour to prepare the soup and tidy up the kitchen, that is one good thing about living alone, I can effortlessly keep my house clean. When I was living with Jessica she made it hard since she always find away to rearrange what I have arranged.
*I can't remember any food that takes up to 2 hours to prepare* I received a text from him as I dishing out the food, I smiled as I quickly placed the food down on the dinning table.
*I am so lovable that you can't do without me for long* I texted,
*Its just that I have nothing better to do* I narrowed my eyes at his text.
*So I am your way to escape boredom* I asked, well it's still good if that is what will are to each other.
*You should be happy Miss*
*Wow your ego can reach the sky* he clearly doesn't hides his feelings.
*Well in your assumption I am a forty years old hag that jerks off, still living with his parents and play video game. So, wouldn't you consider yourself special that I have to ignore my game, my jerking off and whole lot of other things just to text you*
*It warms my heart that you think so highly of me*
*Don't mention it*
*Sorry to burst your bubble my airtime will suffer if we keep texting each other* I texted then concentrated on my food, I am not a big eater but I love tasty food. I moan as swallowed the first morsel, I out did myself this time.
*Well I have no way to help the matter*
*there are ways to recharge and get bonus, why not use such ways* doesn't he know such way exhaust faster, I ignored his text and kept eating.
*Let me guess you are eating and ignoring me, how brutal* I smiled and still ignored.
*Fine, I will talk to myself* with his text I pictured a very cute boy that is angry because his mother refused to buy him toy.
*How cute* I replied since I am done eating.
*Now you reply*
*Haven't your mom told you it's not polite to talk while eating*
*No, sue me* why do I feel like I have offended him.
*Its just too tragic wasting my airtime when we can actually chat on WhatsApp*
*I am not opening WhatsApp*
*You are really stubborn and prideful* I texted as his stubbornness is already annoying me.
*You came to that conclusion yourself* I imagined him huffed.
*Well I can't continue wasting my airtime, so long mister* I texted hoping it will make him change his mind.
*If you say so* and I felt the ultimate feeling of rejection. I am not special enough for him to open up WhatsApp, I refuse to text him back. I have always try to do things to please others even if it means displeasing myself, not anymore, from here on out I won't lower myself to be trambled on. I put my phone down, though sad i refuse to text him back. I guess this is the end of the friendship, it ended before it even started, quiet sad

Chapter 6

A week passed and he didn't message back, maybe he is really into his game or he is truly a married man and decided to mind his business. I have only known him for a while but why am I sad, is it because he knows my deepest secret and never judged me and I feel like I can tell him anything or because I am just lonely.
I looked at my phone for the millionth times and none of his message appeared, I didn't delete his number since that will be useless as I have the number of heart.
I on my data and decided to upload my pictures back, maybe he can be able to see it and get interested, yes every man is moved by what he sees. But what if he is a married man truly, won't I be committing a sin by tempting him. I placed my phone back down, I guess I should finish up with my work since the CEO is coming tomorrow and the new product will be moved to market tomorrow too.
After getting home I decided to watch Naruto, Pain arc since that is my favourite season. Pain theme song has always been my favourite, its dark and gothic. I sat down with my fruit salad and started watching my favourite anime. I remember I was in SS 2 when I started watching it that is like 9 years ago, now I am 26 and I am still watching it. Jessy said that it is not girl like, that I should watch barbie or philippines love stories like other girls, I guess I am not like other girls.
" Awesome!" I screamed as Naruto got summoned to Konoha by the grandma frog, I have watched it a million times but I never enjoyed it any lesser. My heart progresses as the fight progresses, I still don't get why some people think that Sasuke is stronger than Naruto, apart from the time when they were kids Naruto have always been stronger.
My phone beeped once as a sign of WhatsApp message alert, I ignored it since I don't want to miss the pain fight but it kept beeping that I have to reply whoever than is being this annoying. I gasped as I saw the message alert is from Mysterio,
"This is not happening" I stood up pacing around already nervous about what he sent, I looked at my screen which has 10 new messages from Mysterio. I clicked on it to view it all.
*Hi*
*It seems that you win*
*I tried ignoring you but couldn't*
*Funny how people we barely know becomes a part of our happiness* that's because you barely leave your video game
*Well the last few days of not chatting you have been sort of lonely* how is it possible when we have only chatted twice, well if it makes any sense its the same for me.
*Maybe it's because I am still amazed seeing a female that loves Naruto* this one made me smile.
*So, sorry for being selfish and refusing to open WhatsApp*
*I hope you are seeing this because I have no idea how this works* What are you living in a bush? You don't even know how WhatsApp works.
*Hello, better reply or I am taking back everything I just said*
*Old Hag*
*Baka* he texted as I wanted to reply him, "Baka" is a Japenese word for idiot, I smiled at his frustration, I should be angry at him for calling me an Idiot but I am not, I am quite happy that I have found a kindred spirit.
*I am happy that I won but Happier that you listened* I texted him then sat down since I have been standing.
*Finally, you replied*
*Yes, just to put you out of your misery*
*I will ignore what you just said*
*So how have your lonely life being, you know the pain of loneliness is out of this world* he texted and he just doesn't know how right he sounds.
*I survived*
*Attagirl*
*So just to be sure, are you a married man with kids or a 40 years old virgin that plays video game* I asked, I have to play it safe.
*Are you falling for me already?*
*Dont be egostical and answer the question*
*Well what if I am a married man, will you have an affair with me*
*Never!*
*You sure? I have seen a lot of girls saying no but still ends up having an affair*
*Well I am not most girl*
*True, the fact you love Naruto is already a prove, well I am not married*
*So you are 40 years old virgin*
*Hell no, can't you just picture me as Prince Charming?* I laughed at his text, that wouldn't end well for me.
*Nope, that would be a lie*
*Suit yourself, wow this WhatsApp rocks, it is fast*
*I told you, I am a sage* I said feeling proud.
*Now you can chat your friends and fellow gamer* I said.
*Nope, you are enough, I am sort of a loner* He said and I can see why.
*If you have the mind to leave your game chair, you will discover there is a whole new world and make lots of friends*
*Well I thought you will sympathize with me after hearing I am a loner*.
Funny in real sense I am a loner too, I only have Jesse and my boyfriend who is now my ex, but I am a loner by choice.
*Sorry, I don't have much friends so am also a loner but it's by choice since nobody understands me the way I want to be understood*
*You know Villians also think like that* He really knows how to make one gasp.
*Well now that you are in WhatsApp can I see your picture*
*You are so eager to see my picture*
*Well I still don't know if I am chatting an alien*
*I should be the one eager to see your picture, you chatted me up in the middle of the night, you might be the alien trying to probe me*
*So you are not curious to see mine?*
*Nope, I will pass I don't want to have nightmare* did he just insulted me.
*If you most know I am more beautiful than your crush* I fumed.
*Hello, that can't be true because whenever I look at the mirror all I see is perfection*
He really knows how to praise himself, we kept chatting and I forgot I was even watching Naruto, we chatted that I even forget that I will have a busy day tomorrow.
*Its already 1 am* I said as I checked the time.
*Yes, I guess it's time we sleep*
*Yes, I have a busy day tomorrow, you still don't want to show me your face or tell me your name*
*Nope, and I am not interested in knowing yours Rose*
*That is cheating at least you know my first name*
*Ok call me...*
*Call you what*
*Will tell you that tomorrow*
*Alright, bye and thanks for tonight*
*likewise* I dropped the phone and off the tv as I walked to my room to sleep, suddenly I am feeling so sleepy.
I am happy he chatted up, truthfully I don't think I would've resisted the temptation of texting him tomorrow, and I am glad he is not married. I wonder why.

Chapter 7
* Call me mysterio* he texted, I grunted, why did I even hope he will actually tell me his name.
"Stop making a scene" nnedi warns me and I smiled sheepishly. I have been begging him to tell me his name since morning and everytime he refuses, I grunt or actually scratch my head with frustration I never knew the people around me are taking note of it.
*Fine, I guess your name is so lame that you fancy the one I gave you* I texted hoping that it will frustrate him enough to actually tell me him name.
*Keep telling yourself that, in reality, my name is so cool that you would like your first son to bear the name*
I forgot that he is not someone you can trick into letting out a secret.
*So, tell me what's happening today* he texted.
Though he said he is not married he didn't deny the fact that he is a gamer, so u guess that he is bored and has only me to chat. I forgot he is a loner.
*Nothing, we are getting prepared to have a brief meeting with our new C.E.O
*But judging from the way our manager is being carefree, I think the C.E.O won't be able to make it today*.
*Ok, which state is that*
*Anambra* I answered and regretted it immediately, I should have let that be one mystery about me.
*Which state do you stay* I asked hoping he will oblige me this time.
*Sate of Heaven*
*There is no way in hell I'm going to answer you* He texted and I felt like slapping him
"Rose do you mind putting the phone down, though the Boss was unable to make it, we still have other matters to attend to" Mr. Akin said with a scowl so I have to obey.
The meeting lasted for over an hour with many of us dropping an idea on how best to market the product. I didn't say anything, not that I didn't care, just that am a field kind of girl, the theory was never my thing.
And am itching to reply Mysterio's chat, I can feel the multiple vibration from my phone.
Luckily I'm now in the comfort of my desk, so I quickly brought out my phone to reply him, it warmed my heart to see countless messages from him. Some of them are naruto's famous words.
*Jizz, am I your mom?* I texted back, that's one thing about him, you don't have to fear about what you say, if it will offend him, he always understands joke.
*A witch like you? My mother? Don't flatter yourself* He replied almost instantly.
We kept chatting for long and that was how I spent my day.

For some reasons the C.E.O postponed his arrival to a week time, so we were asked to start makerting the product and not wait for him, for that reason I became more busy and only chat him at night and he clearly understands.
Whenever I chat with him I have this overwhelming feelings, like most part of my days are spent with the expectancy of chatting him and my night filled with the joy of chatting him till I fall asleep.
I've learnt a few things about him like how he loved good food but has zero cooking skills. Aside from narvto being his favourite anime he reads a lot, not romance stories or novels like most poeple, he reads anything related to history.
He also doesn't play game, he hates it even. All in all he has been incredible but he still refused to tell me his name or where he stays and I have refused to show my picture to him
"So you mean this product is good" A customer asked, she opened her supermarket newly, so if we are able to convince her to start selling this product, in the future she will be a good customer to us if her supermarket booms.
" Yes, as you know we are already a household name, so we are trying out this new product, being one of our first customer to buy and sell it will really favour you" I said putting on my nicest smile which is hard since she is being rude.
"Well it's true, but how am I sure you are legit" She said with a grumpy look. Are you blind, our company car is just outside with our company logo all over it, calm down, I said to myself.
"You can see the NAFDAC number and our company car is just outside" I said and she nodded.
"Well let me have a taste" I handed over one to her though it's preferable to drink when chilled, I guess it doesn't make a difference to her.
"Well it's nice" she said after the first gulp.
"Then imagine it when it is chilled" I said with a smile.
"Well I will wait for my baby to come over, he also has a say", she said as she continued gulping down the rest.
Baby, am guessing she means her husband or boyfriend, I never called my boyfriend baby, well he is now my Ex. I held down a giggle as I thought what Mysterio will think if I call him baby, why did I even think of it he is not my boyfriend to begin with.
"Will he be long?" I asked since I have other costomers to attend to.
"No, he will soon be here" she said as she checked her wrist watch.
I looked around the stores, it's clearly a new one some of the chambers are empty but it's impressive considering the amount of money needed to pull this off.
"It's not much for now but my baby and I will surely make it work" she said as she notuced me checking the store out, I smiled at her but can't shake away the little envy I have for her because he future looks so bright and well planned. Considering the fact she is young, maybe younger than me and she's already this committed, I guess not everybody is lucky. She might be a bit rude but I can't help but wish her happiness and pray mine arrives sooner than expected.
I so have a lot to tell Mysterio when I get back, I checked my time it's almost 4 pm that's an hour before my closing time, I guess I won't be able to finish what I have for today.
"He is here" she said with a smile that speaks the volume of her love, I was once like this whenever I see Josh, a sad smile appeared on my face as I reminisced on my beautiful past. I turned around to see the baby she has been talking about and I instantly regretted the moment I stepped foot inside this store for standing before me is Josh.

Chapter 8
I came back so exhausted, I am drained bot physically and emotionally. I have relived the little encounter a thousand times in just this few hours.
After showering the only thing on my mind is to log in and chat with Mysterio. I sat down on the sofa and offed every bit of light, even the TV is off, I feel the darkness suits my mood right now.
*Hi Mister* I sent after I have gone through his mesaages, it's mainly about how he needed me to entertain him. Funny his squibble manage to put a smile on my face.
*Hello Missy*
*You kept your Prince charming waiting*
*Princesses are suppose to be the one waiting in a dark tower* he sent 3 messages instantly, someone is missing me, I sniffed a laugh.
*Sorry* I reply as I feel unmotivated to chat, I guess am not healed like I thought.
*Sorry?*
*That's not enough Princess* He started calling me that yesterday after I refused to call him Prince Charming. He thought calling me Princess would make me call him Prince Charming, his plan failed because I am not calling him that. Though my refusal didn't stop him from calling me Princess and I would be lying if I say I don't revel on it.
*You should call me Prince Charming and I will drop the matter*
*NEVER*
*Hmmm*
*I learnt some new acronyms* I have always used simple acronyms to chat him up and will always tell him the meaning, he is really new to chatting.
*Really* I texted still not feeling motivated, probably chatting is not the right thing for me now.
*ROFL, MBOK, SMH, IMO, LOML. Am awesome, am I not?* He learnt quite a few, he already knew LOL.
*Nice*
*I am exhausted, let's chat in the morning* I texted him and felt bad, I didn't even congratulate him for learning new words, I will do that tomorrow since today is just off for me. I clicked on my data to switch it off but my phone started ringing before I switched it off. I checked and it was a WhatsApp call, a call from Mysterio, my throat went dry as my eyes widened as if they will fall out from their socket. I kept looking at the phone as it keeps ringing, I have been chatting with him but never have we spoken on phone, we have never even sent each other a voicenote, so I have no idea how he sounds. All of a sudden my depressed state was changed to nervousness. I chew on my nails as I contemplate whether to pick up. It stopped ringing as I have wasted too much time, didn't he see the good night message, maybe he will stop calling thinking that I have slept off, yes I should ignore him. Why am I nervous like a teenager?
*If you don't pick up I will continue calling*
He is a determined human being, I guess I have to off my data and blame it on network tomorrow, I quickly offed my data before his call enters. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves that is clearly in a turmoil, I really should stop behaving like a teenager in love. I dropped the phone and smiled as it felt oddly good that he called even though I don't pick up. I was still in thought when my phone started ringing again, this time around its not a WhatsApp call but phone call, he is determined. I decided to pick up since no backing down for him
"Hello" his voice came through
"You sure knows how to keep a Prince waiting" his voice washed over me like a cool shower on a hectic sunny day and it rendered me speechless.
"Cat caught your tongue" he chuckled
"Aah, aah" I stuttered.
"My voice is so heavenly that it rendered you speechless"
He just reminded me how much he loves to praise himself, annoying part of it is that he has never been wrong.
"Egomaniac" I hissed and he started laughing, a deep throaty laugh, the one that will make you give a warm smile, so I was unable to resist the smile that graced my face.
"Stop laughing, your voice is nothing out of the ordinary, I have heard more awesome ones"
"So it's awesome just not the best you have heard"
He didn't hear the fact that I said i is nothing out of the ordinary, he always knows how to shower praises on himself. When someone else does that, I see it as pride and it disgusts me, but when he does it, it is considered cute, I guess am partial when it comes to him
"I never said so, I'm just surprised that you called, you always hide your identity so am taken back when you called" I said quarter the truth, if that's even the truth at all.
"Well you won't discover who I am by the sound of my voice and am pretty sure you're more overwhelmed by the milky sound of my voice" he took a deep breath considering his pause.
"I sound like Justin Bieber" he added and I started laughing, he has no idea what he sounds like. His voice is deep, deep enough to give you a scare if you're to hear it in darkness.
"Justin my foot, that's the exact opposite of your voice his voice sounds flowery but yours" I took a pause to think up the right way to describe his voice.
"It sound's like an old narrator, a deep husky voice" I finished and he gave me his rich throaty laugher and I couldn't fight the smile again.
"So in essence you're saying I sound poetic". He's right, he does sound poetic but am not telling him that.
"You wish" I said laughing
"I guess my plan worked" he said with a low tone and resisted the moan that nearly escaped
"What plan?" get hold of yourself damn it
"I noticed you're not feeling good, you kept replying in a monosyllable so I though I could lightning you up by calling" I was beyond surprise at his words. Am surprised he cared but more surprised that he noticed my mood through our chat. The emotions made me tear up, the fact that I ran into Josh and that someone I met a few weeks ago knows me more that the guy that I dated for years. I started sobbing.
"What's wrong" he asked and the concern in his voice was reverbrating making me cry louder.
"Easy dove, you emotions matters to someone"
I hiccupped as I tried to stop
"Did....you.....just....called....dove" I asked in between sob as I wipes my tears with my left hand. This few moments of tears made my heart feels lighter.
"Yes, I will have to call you new pet name most times till one finally sticks" he said with a low chuckle.
"So tell me what made you gloomy"
"I saw Josh today" I said and he made no sound or comment so I went ahead and told him everything that happened today.
"So he is now happily married with the girl?" he asked and I can imagine his disappointment.
"Not married but about to, he had the guts to take me aside and told me not to make our past relationship known to the girl. So I was just the sidechick" I fumed as I think of how much of a fool I have been. Have I always been the sidechick or that this girl came and I was pushed to the sidelines.
"Don't worry, I am glad you found out before tying the knot with him, besides you're already healing"
"Why are you so sure, so sure that I'm healing". He is right though I am healing of the heart break but the pain I feel when I think of my wasted years and sacrifice is deep.
" Dove, am your personal medicine, do you think am fake? Of course am not so you're healing" he sang the last word.
"Am healing of the heartbreak but the pain of the wasted hears is deep" I said with a low tone.
"Life is pain, walking is pain, we wake up in the morning and walk out the house and experience pain, do you know how much I have thought of giving up but can't because I learn my lessons through pain" He said and I can't help but feel the pain hidden behind his words.
"Sometimes you act real matured, sometimes you act like a kid, making me wonder how old you really are" I shaked my head.
"Old enough" he said with a barbie like voice making me go into a feat of laugher.
"You made me tear up while laughing"
"I have my charms barbie"
I guess I have to be swoon over with new pet names everyday.
"So how come LOML is among the first one you learnt" I found it funny that it's among his first acronyms. Most people doesn't know what it means or ever use it.
"I came across it while browsing for chatting acronyms, I instantly knew what it meant unlike others that I have to look for their meaning" he said with his everly proud voice.
"Just to be sure what does it mean" I asked
"Love Od My Life, it's disheartening that you still doubt my awesomeness"
"Clap for yourself".
We spoke for few more minutes before ending the call. I started at my phone after he ended the call, he is really a God sent, with just one phone call he lifted my sadness and sorrow.
My eyes widened as a thought hit me, maybe he is truly a guardian Angel that God sent to me in this period of sadness and sorrow to help me heal. So if he isn't human but an Angel sent to help me heal that means he would one day return or be assigned to another human. I shook my head to stop my imagination from running wild, this can't be possible, supernatural things like this doesn't happen. Then again how was he able to calm me down with a single phone call and helping me heal faster than normal. A lot of things about him are not ordinary. I looked at the clock and it's past midnight, I shall call it a night and think about things tomorrow.


A/N: so what's your thought on Mysterio,

Chapter 9
Eveeybody in the office is running halter skelter, the new C.E.O is on his way, luckily I have met my sale quota for the month.
"I heard he is strict" Nnedi said as she files her documents in an orderly fashion.
"Where did you hear it from" Timi asked, she has never been the type that put interest in gossip.
"A friend from Owerri branch, he said that he even fired some of the workers" she replied shaking her head.
"I guess we all have to find out today".
It scared me what I heard about him, I hope they're all exaggerated because I don't want anymore hassle in my life. I need this job for the sake of my family, jobs like this are not easy to find especially for a girl with no background like me.
I was in a hurry this morning so I didn't talk or chat with him, right now I need him to calm my nerves. I brought out my phone from my bag to call him. We now have regular phone calls and am enjoying it. I can remember how much he laughed when I suggested he is an Angel.
"Are you my guardian Angel?" I asked and braced myself to hear his reply.
"Angel?" he asked and went frenzy with laughter and I felt ashamed.
"Missy, I maybe handsome, considered heavenly perhaps seen as an Angel by some people but I assure you, I am no Angel"
I hissed as he managed to praise himself even in this situation.
"I guess a devil like you can't be an Angel"
"Let's forget the fact that your imagination is out of this world, what made you think God would send a guardian Angel for you. What did you do to deserve such honour".
"Well I have never stolen a pin or make someone feel bad. So, I guess He decided to send an Angel to help me cope in this difficult situation" I said the last sentence with low tone.
"Flower, we offend people by just being alive so don't think you have never made anybody feel bad". Funny how what he said is an absolute truth making me wonder what he has seen in live.
"Well I can be your personal guardian, just don't call me angel, angel seems so sissy" I laughed at his statement, well girls are mainly the ones called Angel.
"My Angel" I said just to annoy him, its good to find something that annoys him.
"Stop that"
"Angel". We kept going on and on. He has no idea how happy I am that he is not an angel, that means he won't disappear after making me happy, I will be empty if he disappears. I really have weird imagination.
I smiled after remembering what happened that day word to word, I always have clear remembrance of everything that happens between us. It:s as if I want to cherish every moment and replay it in my mind every single time. If the annoying human being is not strongly insisting on hiding his identity I would've suggested to meet up and spend some time together. If I dare do that he won't let me live it down.
"Come he is here" Nnedi said and I intensed up, I dropped my phone since no time to make the call, I took everything I need and followed after Nnedi. We are the first to do our presentation that also means we will be the first to be punished.
We stopped and took a deep breath before knocking at his door, I can sense how tense Nnedi is thank God for Timi that still remains calm giving us a sense of comfort.
"Come in" we heard Mr Akin voice, I guess the C.E.O is not much of a talker as Mr. Akin is doing the talk. We stepped in as stood in horizontal order, I was standing first that means I be the one to make the first presentation. I gulped down.
"What is holding you" The C.E.O said with his back at us, his voice is cold deviod of any emotions, he really means business.
I cleared my truth and stepped forward, here goes nothing. I did all my presentation neatly though I couldn't see his reaction since his back was facing me and he didn't utter a word, he will occasionally take a sip of the brandy he is with, but judging from Mr Akin smile I guess I did good.
I stepped aside leaving the floor for Nnedi, about 30 minutes later we were all done and Mr Akin told us to leave the documents before leaving and we all did but stopped half way to the door when we heard his voice.
"How did people react to the new product" he asked and we turned to answer but was left speechless as he is now facing us. He is nothing short from handsome, he rendered us immobile like he had a spell on us, he is handsome but what got me is the fact that he is the C.E.O. I don't know how to explain it, it's as if he has the final say and as such I have to do everything to get his favour.
"They reacted well" I said confidently and am sure it must have shocked my friends.
"From your presentation you're the one with the most sales so I will take your word for it" he said still devoid of every emotion. We bowed and left the office.
"Now I can breath" Nnedi said after we are now in our own office.
"He seem to rule his world" Timi said and its visible that the new C.E.O left his mark on her which is very rare. Timi is a sort of girl that is hardly impressed, so am surprised.
"Well he is the C.E.O, he has to be serious in business and to earn our respect" I said and then picked my phone to call my Mysterio. Since my friends won't shut up about the new C.E.O I decided to leave the office to make the call. I was going to the varenda to make the call when I bumped into someone because I was looking at my phone.
"Sorry" I said as I raised my head
"Be more careful next time" I heard the C.E.O voice. I just bumped into him, I bowed down and said sorry like 3 straight times. He was already walking away by the time I raised my head, I turned to look at his back walking away. He is tall dark and handsome, his girlfriend is so lucky having such a rich handsome guy, he put his phone on his ear.
"Hello" he said I rarely heard what he said after since he is far gone, I took a deep breath and returned my attention to my phone.
"What he already picked up" I muttered as I never knew I have dialed the number the moment I bumped into the boss.
"Hello Angel" I said as I brought the phone to my ear.
"For the last time am not Angel" he hissed and just like that he released all my tensions, all bank on him to brighten my day.

A/N: what are your thoughts, sorry for the late post. This lockdown is killing me
