“From pen pals to a dare, is this fate?” I couldn’t help myself but ask. Being held in his hands was more than a dream come true, it was mission impossible.
I was never a believer of fate although I believed strongly in God and went to church every Sunday. A coward is what I called myself and my life’s motto had always been “ REALITY WILL ALWAYS BE THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR DREAMS😞 .” So I quit dreaming as reality had always been an enemy “ I wondered what I did to piss him/ her off🤔,” and if I dreamed I made sure I was not aware so as to not add up to my long list of shuttered hope.
CHAPTER ONE:
How We Met Each Other
M.P.O.V
It all started 6 MONTHS AGO.........
Like every other day I was scrolling through my TikTok trying to keep myself distracted from life” being broke with due debts.” Surprisingly on that day my for you page was full of videos on how to make money online but none of them got to me like this video, “ earn money talking to lonely strangers!!”🤨” is this for real , what a bunch of scams!” I thought to myself. Deciding to take break and do something productive , I decided to sale my pride and dignity by giving every single person in my contacts a call asking for money, embarrassing right?😢😭 But anyway................................... I was two contact away from reaching the end when “Uncle T” appeared. You might be wondering who the he’ll uncle T is, well she is my best female friend. I have two friends, I like my circle small to save myself from friendship drama. The male I call “Grand pa” and I decided not to involve him this time because I always do😅.
Ring ......ring .....ring!!! “Hello” my best friend on the other side finally said. Being cute , I childishly lamented about her taking long to pick up the hope when it wa “me” her favorite nephew calling. “ what a waste, what’s up nephew ? Your Uncle is all ears” she said.
Laughing at how cool she was trying to sound I told her about my crisis and he knight saved the damsel in distress. She lent me a few thousands and told me to pay her back little by little but........... they weren’t enough so I decided to do the most stupid thing I could think of” earn money chatting with lonely strangers “ believe me when I say I couldn’t believe myself.
Name......... Age.........Country...........Talents.............
..........................and create account. “That was easy,” I thought “ now let as wait for the lonely stranger.”
Seconds..... minutes.......... hours......... days.......... two weeks..........
“ This is what you get for hoping,” I said to myself. Feeling drained I decided to deactivate my account. Few seconds from pressing deactivate a miracle happened . “ Hello?” 😳” am I seeing things or did some loner hello me?” While in my shocked state a text came” I saw you were online. Are you free to talk?”
As I was still looking for what to write another text came” what’s taking you so long to reply . I knew this was a wrong idea but that fool wouldn’t let me be at peace .... anyway bye” “ 5 dollars per minute?” I replied...... minutes later no reply and as I was about to reduce the price when the stranger replied “ ok”
What a relief I finally have my first client 🤑🤑🎉🎉🎉
